Glossybox - June 2013

[Tatia]

I just placed my first order on Bondi. I had trouble with the checkout but Chris managed to sort it out via chat (he definitely knows about us on MUT). I don't wear polish all that often, but this is the kind of company i want to support with my pocketbook. Great experience! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

There are two pages - I almost missed the second page, so make sure you click through. I think there are about 20 colors altogether. They're all on the main site, I think this link will show you everything on one page: http://www.bondinewyork.com/collections/all

Thank you so much /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Gracious me, I finally got my box!

No pics yet, I'll post them soon, but I received:

Set Items:

Oscar de la Renta Essential Luxuries 6 sample set

c Booth Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist

Variation Items:

Tarte Complexion Enhancing lipstick in Fair-to-Light (woohoo!)

Phillip B. Nordic Wood Hair & Body Shampoo (sadness, this was the one I really didn't want, oh well)

SpaRitual Nail Polish in Spirit Child (it's pretty, it's no Bondi, but it's pretty)

Here's what the bottle looks like: (not my pic)



It's a good box, I like majority of the products, however, I'm a little turned-off by Dallas' pictures of herself on almost EVERY PAGE of the Glossybox Magazine. Geez, yes, yes, we KNOW what you look like, sweetie. You're such a superstar, now go off and draw something and let me enjoy my products!

So I got my GB in the mail today! I really didn't like the replacement nail polish. I was thinking it would be summer color since all the marketing that was out there had a bright orange color. Nope, mine was more of a winter color that is just not me, reminds me of the color polish my grandma use to always wear! If this box would have had the Bondi polish ( who after looking at the site they have no colors that I would hate to get!) I would have been Really happy with it! Btw, thanks for posting the code! I'll be going to the Bondi site now!

I have my skin listed as fair and the sent me the dark-to-tan tarte products in both boxes abd gave me the darkest color in the CC cream last month, why bother asking if they don't refer to it?! Sigh. That being said, I am still pretty happy with the box this month.

Box 1 variations: Tarte in "medium-to-tan", SpaRitual in "Whirlwind Romance" and Philip B Styling Gel.



Box 2 variations: Tarte in "medium-to-tan, SpaRitual in "Whirlwind Romance" and Philip B Anti-Flake Relief Shampoo.




Just got my box today, and it's the same as your box #1.  I'm pretty meh. I'm very fair, and this is the 2nd month GB sent me  medium-tan shades (I received the darkest amore pacifica last month, and didn't gripe to CS, but maybe I should have).    I think this is my last glossybox. I signed up for the trial of escapebox, but I'm just not feeling this. I hate the overly sweet scent (to me) of the dry spray I won't use the gel, and the perfume just isn't my cup o tea, although there was one I didn't hate (Sargasso).  I was really looking forward to the Tarte.  Wah wah. 

 

[jamiestarlynn]

I somehow got two boxes?!?

 

[Dayo Steph]

Did it, finally canceled.  Buh bye Glossybox. Of course I'll probably still stalk the list for updates and temptation back into the fold. LOL.

Thumbs up about ur comment on Dallas 😒

Urgh, I got the Bondi BOGO bug too....bought 4 polishes ... which is really the last thing I need.  I did see on their FB page that they're launching a subscription service at the end of August --- $19.99 for 3 polishes every month.  What to do...what to do...

i received two of the fair-light tarte lipsticks. i'd trade with you if you're up for it. let me know!

 

[Emr410]

Got my two boxes today and I have already cancelled one subscription. I received both lipsticks in medium to tan. I am fair to medium, so bummed about that. Definitely wanna trade for a lighter one. The thing that upsets me the most is I also got two of the darkest (208) shades of the amore last month. I double checked my profile and my skin tone is listed correctly. I didn't complain, but am thinking I might now since this is the second month in a row. I haven't read through every post from last month. Did they do anything for those who complained about the amore? Btw, I still have both unused if anyone didn't get one and wants to trade for them. My polishes are a gunmetal grey and a black. Definitely not something I would use in the summer. Not sure how I feel about them. I also got two of the shea butter shampoo. Overall a good box, just a little bummed with the colors/varieties.

Ooooooh. That alone would prompt me to drop Julep like a lead balloon. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[FormosaHoney]

I got all three boxes today.  They are nearly identical, I mean it's soo... so... something, that I'm not even upset, I'm just laughing at thier process...  You can tell it was just batched out and these were just what was set out for the workers to assemply.  Still good value, but I am done with GB.

The Dallas Shaw Palooza just curles the corner of my mouth as I flip through the magazine, ugggggg, smug...  

It's not that aweful, I had planned on making presents and care packages for folks anyway, but I was really hoping for at least one styling gel, because I really personally need one.  

Products offering possible variety are bolded:

 I like this, good earthy shimmer, I can wear it for conservative work.

Sparitual Home Body

Tarte Medium

Philip B Light-Weight Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse

C. Booth Dry Oil Mist Honey Almond

Oscar Sampler Kit

Sparitual Home Body

Tarte Medium

Philip B Light-Weight Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse

C. Booth Dry Oil Mist Honey Almond

Oscar Sampler Kit

Sparitual Solitude

Tarte Medium

Philip B Light-Weight Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse

C. Booth Dry Oil Mist Honey Almond

Oscar Sampler Kit

 

  This is the Solitude, like this too!

I'll update my trade list:  

• I'd love to trade one of the Creme Rinse for a Styling Gel or if you've got a shampoo and might be looking for a Creme, give me a shout as well, that could work!
• The Home Body for another color, give me a shout, I just picked up 28 minis from Sephora, but there might be something out there that calls to me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...
• Tarte Medium, if you are looking to grab an extra and want to trade, let me know.  I've got 2 to trade, not looking for the lighter though, the medium is already glowing on me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...

My shipping information finally updated and (drumroll)..... my box is now in Atlanta.  WTH???  From NJ to GA?  Why not from NJ to frigging TN???  Where I live???

I officially have now been charged for a June product that won't be delivered until July.  The mail already came today, so this was the last chance for it to arrive in June at all.  If it gets delayed any more, it probably won't show up until after the 4th of July.  Glossybox SUCKS and frankly, they need to apologize!

Mine hasn't even shipped yet, and it's got an expected delivery of between June 28th - July 1st.

Yeah......... prolly not GB.

I got my box today...it's ok. In general I think the products are good, just not really right for me. I am excited that I got the lipstick for my complexion, and I guess I will give the oil a try. But I won't use the hair gel and got the nasty orange color nail polish. (I'm still a little salty about no Bondi, but bought some today to make up for it!) Plus - I've been seeing SpaRitual at several TJ Maxx stores lately selling for $3.99! Same dark, drab colors. If anyone wants the orange, check my trade list! It will be up there /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[starletta8]

Got both of my Glossyboxes today- and I'm incredibly disappointed by one of the items.

One of the items I was most looking forward to was the Tarte lipstick.  I had my profile filled out- and they completely ignored it.  I'm super pasty and ended up with 2 of the medium-tan Tarte lipsticks!  My boxes were the same except for different polish colors. 

I was hoping for one of each- or 2 of the fair lipsticks!  I don't know where the heck they got medium from "super fair redhead" profile.

 I swear they must be throwing random shades into the boxes! I am usually medium, and much darker in the summertime, but I never get a shade that is supposed to compliment my skintone. With the Amore Pacific, I got the lightest shade. For the tarte lipstick, I received the fair-to-light. I just don't get it. And every time they send me a hair product, it's a product that's meant to add volume to hair. Um, my hair has too MUCH volume already. I'm frustrated that Glossybox doesn't seem to care at all about our beauty profiles. What's the point of even having it then?

 

[starletta8]

I guess I should explain a bit more as to what I got:

• Tarte Medium-Tan (x2) (I would love to get rid of one of these since I'm a pasty redhead!)
• Philip B Light-Weight Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse (x2) (Meh, I'll probably re-gift)
• c.Booth Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist (x2) (I'll try it, then probably pass the other on)
• SpaRituals Solitude (dark purple creme)
• SpaRituals HomeBody (light shimmer)

The nail polish was the only item that varied.  They obviously don't pay attention to the profiles.... I feel highly disappointed.
