I would email. It can't hurt. I emailed about getting a dark amore pacific and they immediately mailed me a replacement item.

They sent out emails saying that they accidentally sent 2 boxes to everyone who ordered the Bridal boxes. You haven't been and won't be charged for it, and you're free to keep it, trade it, whatever! Just a bonus for you 'cos they messed up! lol.
Right? That's exactly how I felt. I was so prepared to hate this one, by the time it arrived, I opened it and was so ready to complain.. but I love it, whoops!

I really did love the products in this month's box! A few fragrances weren't for me, but I expected that
Pics! -
The set items:
c.Booth Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Mist Oil - I LOVED this! I know it says for face and body but I felt like I enjoyed this more on my face. Especially as a light nighttime hydration mist. A little spritz goes a LOOONG way though, and it's so incredibly light weight that I couldn't even FEEL it on my skin when I sprayed! LOL It smells so divine too.
Oscar de la Renta perfume samples - From least fav to most fav
Variation Items:
SpaRitual Nail Polish in Spirit Child
I like it! No where near as much as Bondi but it's still a lovely polish. It's a bit thinner than I'd prefer, but still workable. This pic shows two coats and I'd probably lean towards doing three since it still looked a tad streaky, but the color is gorgeous. It's a red shimmer that looks cranberry in darker lights or gold/orange-red (almost duochrome) in bright light. Not overly shimmery, but still gorgeous.
Phillip B. Nordic Wood Hair & Body Shampoo
I didn't like fragrance at all. It smelled like the woods (which if you look at the fragrances, you can see why!). My husband described it as the smell of a Christmas tree being cut down! LOL It lathered really well and I liked the way it felt on my hair and skin but the smell! Oh dear! Not for me. Such a shame, because it's sooooo pretty too!
Tarte Complexion Enhancing Lipstick in Fair-to-Light
Oh my goodness....I ADORE this lipstick. It has become my new favorite always-in-the-purse lipstick! It's so unusual. I think regardless of what shade you get (either fair-to-light or medium-to-tan) you should try it because they really do adjust to your coloring. For example, look at the swipe on my hand compared to my lips! The Fair-to-Light on me looked soft and pink but even coral-pink in some lighting. I really thought this was an excellent pick for the box. It's a bit on the thicker side when swiped directly on, but it faded off nicely over time and you could even lightly dab it with a tissue if you don't like the feeling of thicker lipstick.
All in all, I was very pleased with the products, albeit not pleased with the drama that accompanied it, but here's hoping for another fabulous box next month...
FYI - My box's worth came out to $116.50!!!
I nearly fainted when I saw this. I kept trying to recalculate but it kept coming out the same! Can you believe it?!

Oscar de la Renta perfume samples - From least fav to most fav
- Coralina - Long story short...it smelled like my grandmother's perfume did. It was nice, but a little too much on the mature side for me, but still a lovely perfume.
- Santo Domingo - This is definitely one of the muskier ones. It just smelled too much of tobacco and coriander. It seemed more like a manlier musk that a woman's perfume. I could detect a very faint citrus, but the heavier tones make it difficult to enjoy. Once again, still a nicely rounded perfume, but not for me.
- Granada - I ALMOST like this one. It's a high noted floral with a bitter-sweet tart undertone. Very feminine and a beautiful wash of aroma, but I'm not a fan of florals, therefore, this did not go on my fav list.
- Oriental Lace - What a fragrance! Typically I don't like heavier, spicy, warm fragrances, but I did take a liking to this one! It's not your everyday aroma, I would save this for a romantic night out or special occasion, but I'll definitely be keeping this and using it!
- Sargasso - A breath of fresh (sea) air! Such a light, airy aqueous blend but there's a hint of citrus is this as well. I love it for a daytime breezy summer fragrance.
- Mi Corazon - This was an interesting unusual favorite for me since I typically don't like peach fragranced perfumes, but I think this is the best I've ever tried. It's a bit of a tropical exotic but light and frolic-y aroma with a lightly sweet peach note floating throughout. Still a bit on the heavy side, so I'll only be using this lightly.

Ok.... I have a question...is the Dallas Shaw "print" that's supposed to be included in our box part the product information card, or, is it a separate piece?? Not that I'm crying because of it's absence in my box, I'm just looking for a little clarity lol

I believe it's the print on the front of the product information card. At least, that's what I'm assuming.

Guys, I LOVE the Granada scent.
I never, ever, ever like perfume. I haven't ever owned any. My boyfriend gifted me Dior Addict once because I smelled it and said it was nice, but once I tried to wear it, I hated it and gave it away (whoops, didn't realize it was like $100).
Anyway, I will never be able to afford $150 for a fragrance, so if anyone wants to trade me their vial of Granada, I am so down for that!!

My mom got her box today--yah! Actually, she got it yesterday, but no one went to the post office. So, I stopped by and luckily they had put a key in the PO Box so I was able to pick it up for her. She was really excited. The funny thing was, she got the matching conditioner for the shampoo I got--African Shea Butter--so I gave her my shampoo and she gave me her nail polish in Solitude. She said she liked it, but the color was too dark for her so she wouldn't feel comfortable using it 'especially in the south.' Maybe she needs to come on here so people can change her mind about wearing makeup you like no matter what age you are, lol!
Anyway, I can't believe it, but I just sent Glossybox an email with a compliment. I was just sooooo very impressed with the boxes this month. Yes, the boxes were late and there was all the Bondi drama, but in the end, the boxes were pretty amazing. My mom and I got so lucky this month, I guess. I told them if they could put out a box like this every month, I'd resubscribe in a heartbeat. Too bad the boxes aren't usually this great, but you can bet I'll be paying attention the next time they do a curated or collaboration type of box.
By the way Cheshire, that Spirit Child red polish looks great on you! I'm not normally one for bright reds, but I may have to put that one on my list. And like you, I LOVE the Tarte lipstick. I kind of wanted my mom to get the darker color (and she did admit she probably would have preferred it) but when I showed her how lightly it applied, she said she thought she was going to like it. (No, she didn't try it on herself immediately. She's not quite the same as most of us here, lol!) Anyway, while I do adore the light colored one and that's what I wanted, I think we both want to pick up the darker colored one for medium/tan skin as well.
Now if I could just get my surveys for the products to show up, I'd be able to put this month behind me and look forward to seeing what everyone gets for July as well as the August spoilers. I think someone on here mentioned that surveys usually post around the 15th of the month. Still, since I cancelled, I'm a bit nervous I'll get cheated out of my surveys. And I'd really hate to have to send them an email complaining about this after I just told them how much I loved June, haha!

Oh, and am I the only one who liked the Coralina? Granted, I have only tried it and Santo Domingo so far. Hated SD. Too much tobacco and patchouli, I think, and not enough mandarin. But Coralina was the first one I tried based on the description in the Dallas Shaw celebration mag (LOL) and I didn't find it old or anything. Just a nice scent. Not sure what I'm going to try next. Any suggestions? I usually go for florals more than anything, but I do love musks and the like if they aren't too over the top. Obviously, I do not like tobacco scents. My mom loved it, but then, she used to smoke cigars because she'd light them up for my dad and puff on them a bit longer than necessary.

Thank you! It is a very pretty shimmer, and it may need more than 2 coats, but the application was very easy and it brushed on smoothly, so doing multiple coats wasn't difficult

Thanks ma'am!
Print? Could someone post a picture of it? I didn't get a product information card (last month it was no magazine and now no product card). But on that note, I should at least be happy that I got the box yesterday. No sign of the extra glossydots or the extra samples I was promised by CS when I asked where my box was when it didn't ship until 7/3 ...

I too have got amazing customer service from glossybox. I called them twice and both times sent me something else one time even included and extra gift ( lip stick) I have not written to them I called them during there office hours. I think they are amazing. I got my replacement items in a few days. I love the box I just get mad every month that they mail them so late. This month I could have done without the perfume samples since I am fussy about that kind of stuff plus really allergic. At least glossy box gives you samples you can try . I love the products in birchbox but get so annoyed because they are so small.

I guess you haven't gotten your box either? Mine shipped on the 3rd too and hasn't budged. It anticipates arrival by the end of the week.
I just spent a lot of the free time I don't have right now sending an email explaining why I'm displeased with the massive delays especially for us because I had gotten annoyed. I've turned into that person posting on the board way after everyone has moved on grumbling that I haven't even gotten mine yet. I used to stick up for Glossybox, but this extra shipping delay for us few beyond what most experienced without any additional communication is not pleasurable.
That's really nice, but I am sorry you had to basically reach out to them to get that information/service. If I don't hear anything back remotely satisfactory from my long email which I saved a draft of, I may ask for his email or contact info in private message if you don't mind. I'll see what happens with the "normal route" first as that's a good indication of the median customer service.
