Ah, but surely the lucky ones at the soiree aren't the poor souls in charge of the fun tasks like shipping, customer service, and social media...they seem to use interns for those things, or at least they did...I remember when we found an ad in which they were looking for unpaid interns. (Which explains a lot, frankly)...
Maybe ths soiree at the James Hotel was an 'intern' appreciation event, which would explain why they didn't seem to have invited any subscribers.  

Looking at the photos, the attendees were a uniform age between 20 to 25, with exception to the vendors behind their products who ranged from 30 and out.  

Just speculating, s'all...

I found some Sparitual at my local Marshall's today! I decided to be good and only pick up one... Muse! I feel like Marshall's is pretty hit or miss in what it carries. This is the first time I've seen one carry the brand. Still super excited for it. I think I might have to go back and pick up the wolfy one!

Unpaid internships (outside of maybe those taken for college credit) should be illegal IMHO! Too many companies use them to get out of paying anyone any money. There's a reason we have minimum wage in this country (which may be a joke too, but at least it is better than not getting paid at all!)

 
Surveys for the June box should be up around the 8th-9th (of July) of the month (if they follow every other month they have put them up) the latest they are up is around the 15th.  You should not have to reactivate the sub to fill out surveys, only if you want to redeem your Glossydots.

Hope that helps!

Also if anyone is looking to plug the hole in their sub box life GB is leaving behind, it looks like Bondi is launching a sub box in August.  $19.99 per month.  Thread is here:

I'm pretty ticked off about that myself. I went in to see if my mom's box had shipped (shipped yesterday, thankfully) and thought 'hey, while I'm here, it would be a great time to fill out my surveys for points.' No way to do that after cancelling but I had to cancel to avoid getting charged! Ugh! GB sucks!!!

Preach sister! I'm going OT, but, I'm in my final semester at school and I absolutely have to have a 6 credit unpaid internship. I'm having such a hard time finding one that will still allow me to substitute teach to pay my bills. The worst bit of this is the only place that is really willing to work with my schedule is the hospital part (aka another dept) where I currently work. So now I'll have to work/intern for free at night between working FT at the school and then going to my own classes. It's insane.. makes me think that year of traveling and moving out of my parents place was a dumb move! Anyway my point is I'm not gaining much by being forced into giving away labor, ignoring the YEARS of work in my field.

To get back on topic, while I'm not a fan of 'Spice of life' for the summer I figured I would try it anyway. It's holding up so well- really impressed this polish's staying power. I'm really tough on my nails so going three days without a chip is noteworthy.  I'm going to have to check out my Marshall's now thanks for the heads up!

Now that I think about it I think I've seen Spa Ritual before at my local TJ Maxx, I think I might have to check there since I really love the one that I got! :)

 
Check TJ Maxx as well!!! I saw lots of SpaRitual colors there, too! And for $3.99!

 
I just got an email from Glossybox saying that there was a shipping issue with the Wedding Boxes and not to be alarmed if I receive an extra June box. The wedding box will still be delivered by July 31st, and I can keep the extra June box without paying for it. Kind of makes up for the Philip B. body wash I received in my June box...it smells like a Christmas tree (not my favorite scent).

I'm super excited to get the wedding box. Anyone else getting a free June box?

The tracking number that glossybox gave me was bogus.  They probably sent it to me to shut me up but it's only gonna to make me angrier.  I escalated my dispute to a claim on paypal.  USPS said the tracking number wasn't legit and to contact ups or fedex.

Not sure why it cut half my post. Lol
I got the same box, but the tarte in the darker shade (my skintone is fair..) .. I tried it out for s**ts and giggles, and it looks really bad on me..  It looks like a coral/ mauve/ bleh. The hair masque is interesting, but I don't like the idea of having to put it on in the shower, dry it with a hair drier or keep in in a hot towel, and then jump back in the shower to wash it out.  Has anyone tried it yet?  I'm still pining about the Bondi being in the Glossymag :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

they gave me a tracking number to something that has been stuck in nj since the 21st. it shouldn't be "stuck" there that long. usps said it doesn't work and to try ups and fedex but when i plugged the number in it didn't work there either.  when i did the glossybox trick thingie it was also showing the box as being stuck in kearny, nj. someone is lying to me and i don't like it.

i know it doesn't help, but mine was in kearny from the 18th until it finally moved on the 25th. it just means it's sitting at the newgistics facility. it might not have been introduced into usps' system yet, so it's currently showing up as an inactive number.

geez. newgistics is slowwwwwwwww as hell. it's been TEN days.  i ordered something from friggin hong kong with regular shipping on ebay and i got in in a week.  i feel like going to the glossybox hq in nyc when i go up to there later this month and giving them a piece of my mind.

i'm not lashing out at you at all, btw

but thanks for telling me about your box's slow movement.

 
I received the box with:

Philip B. Hair and body shampoo (smells and seems like a product for men)

Tarte in Fair to light (love this!)

c. Booth honey almond dry oil (smells and feels great!)

Oscar de la Renta perfume samples (some really nice fragrances)

Sparitual in Death by Chocolate (the worst color variation I have seen so far)

I am getting a free one in the mail as well. Should be here this week. I hope I get the Tarte in the darker shade and the conditioner from Philip B to go with my shampoo.

 
It's a miracle!  My Glossybox now shows as out for delivery today.  Not a jot of information since June 28th when it was in Atlanta and now it's supposed to be being delivered.  GOOD.  Of course, I've complained so vehemently on here about it that the people at Glossybox probably packed me a special exploding bottle of Sparitual in the color "Shut Up!" LOL

I called them today because my second email wasn't answered and the girl on the phone said that my box was shipping this week.  So I mentioned that I have an email that said my box was supposed to have shipped last week and I felt that I had been lied to.  Of course she said I hadn't been lied to, it could have been sent last week, she just didn't have an active tracking number yet.  So which is it, it shipped last week or its shipping this week?  She couldn't tell me crap, got snotty with me, offered a half-hearted apology while repeatedly stating that they warned people it would ship late, and then offered me a refund which seems to confirm that my box hasn't gone anywhere yet.  No offer of glossydots or an extra item for being unable to tell me anything about my June box even though it is now July, nothing.

I'm glad I've cancelled.  I'm not sure if I will ever come back now.  I'm much happier with lip factory.

EW! Pardon my language but why on earth would someone want it to look like they shit on their nails?
