Glossybox - June 2013

[Anselee]

So I was really excited when I got a Glossybox has sent you a package message because I already received my June Dallas Shaw box(es)  I did order 2 extras.  So I assumed it was my one Wedding box I spent $40 on but nope what I got today was a 4th not ordered Glossy box.  I sent them an email and private message. BTW out of the 4 boxes I got only one of the lipsticks were the color that matched the profile.  I told them this as well. They have closed out my wedding box order but sent another Dallas Shaw box...this should be cute to fix. UGH!

If anyone has a Medium/Tan Tarte lipstick I'd love to trade something for it.

I got the Fair/Light which matches my profile (for once, lol! I was shocked), but I have a feeling I'd like the next color up, too!  I kind of love it, it's very subtle, perfect for looking like you're not wearing makeup, but you just want a little extra on your lips.

Hi Ladies!  I'm a long time lurker, first time poster (to this sub box group). 

I finally received my first GlossyBox today, it took about 7 days, including the weekend, so not too bad.

Except, one of the perfumes (Oriental Lace) had leaked all over inside the box. Ruined the cardboard package on my lipstick, and stinks!

And I didn't get my bottle of the dry oil mist.

I emailed them in the evening, and already got a reply back. They claim to be sending out replacements to me. Yay!  Now lets just see if it shows up, lol. 

I got nail polish in "solitude" which was a dark dusty purple color, lipstick in medium/tan (LOVE!), and light weight deep conditioner (like, but probably wouldn't purchase on my own), and what my husband has named "the stink sticks!" (perfume). 

Then the free gift I got with my sub ended up being the model co cheek and lip stain.  I haven't tried it on my lips yet, but it works great on my cheeks!

Welcome to Makeuptalk! Sorry to hear about Oriental Lace! Whew! That was one of the strongest ones too! I'm glad they replied.

Thanks! I like your new profile picture, btw. 

Yeah, out of the 6 vials, I kept 3 to try.  But Oriental Lace, wow, that was STRONG stuff, and reminded me of old ladies at church from when I was little.  Right now I have my lipstick sans lid stuffed inside a Ziploc baggie, lol.  I'm curious if they'll send a new one in the same medium/tan, or if I'll get a light version replacement.  It was a good mail day here, even with the perfume spill.  I got two orders from Birchbox in, and the GlossyBox!

Aw thank you! It was about 3 out of 6 for me too...I tried rating them but the highest only got maybe 3.5 out of 5. You'd think for Oscar de la Renta, it'd be higher. EEP! LOL Then again, I have a very finicky nose who is not too particularly friendly! Haha!

I was 3 out of 6 here, as well. Specifically, Sargasso, Grenada, & Santo Domingo. The others smelled way too sweet to me.

Just sent you a PM to trade! And I agree with the light tarte lipstick! It's a great light pink pop for those with more tan...

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

That is hilarious, I thought the same thing!  Maybe in the fall I will want a shitty look, but certainly not for summer! (or ever!)

So I cancelled a few weeks back, and today Glossybox sent me a code for 20% off a sub (today only), which would make it like $16 ish, plus I could use Ebates 3.5% back.. UGH. I might have to do it.

I cancelled because of all the drama, and I wasn't impressed with the value of the first box.. But after receiving my June box (in July..), I actually ended up loving this box and I think this one was a MUCH better value. If it had Bondi polish in it I would have been over the moon!

20% OFF code: STARS

I think you should all cancel and then re-sub and get a nice discount for all the headache GB causes us!

Yup I do that all the time, lol

 

[ewiggy]

So when you apply a coupon code, is it just for one month, or does your sub rate stay at that rate?

It's only for one month.

How are you getting 3.5% back?  Mine only give me the option of $2.75, which is good for one box but if you want to do a 3-month, the 3.5% is a better deal.

Did you guys see in the GB magazine the pictures of the DS (priceless artwork) nail polishes?  It's too bad that we didn't get them.  I think they are pretty cute.

It is too bad. I liked the color options and hated the SpaRitual shades I got. Seemed like others got better ones. They would've really added to the box contents, but I still liked everything else despite the Bondi not being there. I'm terrible at painting my own nails anyway, so nail polish is essentially useless for me to own.

Wow....just reading through the first page or two of replies has me doing a double take. I just joined with GB and the first box I received was June. I LOVED the box.  I loved the nail polish and tarte lipstick color, as well as the mini Oscar de la Rentas that came in that cute lil black pouch. I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to realize that this was a collab box and not the "typical" subscription. I hope that I am not disappointed with July. I am doing month to month at the moment, so I guess I can cancel if I'm not pleased. However, I tried a couple other sub boxes and Glossy box has been the best so far. ( I cancelled Beautyfix and Beauty Army)

Oh, sorry!  I just typed that from memory and apparently I was wrong, lol.

Well, it's a miracle! I got my box today, even though I should have received it the day before yesterday. And, I don't hate this box! Yeah!

This was my first box, so I entered a promo code to get the free Model Co. Cheek & Lip Stain. They remembered to include that, so that's good. I honestly thought they would forget after the fiasco with DS & everyone's perfumes leaking and whatnot.

All my perfumes were in tact, thank goodness! The only scent I tried was the Santo Domingo. This smells very much like a "man" scent. Hopefully, the others are more girly.

I got the medium to tan Tarte, and my profile says I have medium skin. I'm sure it was just a fluke that I actually got the shade that suited my skin color. I'm not much of a lipstick person, so this is up for trade, if anyone is interested.

I got the Philip B Light Weight Deep Conditioning Rinse. I can't remember what all the variations were, but I was hoping to not get the hair gel. So, I'm happy with this.

And, my nail polish was in Solitude, a creamy, dark purple. Definitely, could have done worse there.

Overall, I'm very happy. Maybe because it was my first month, they took pity on me.
