Here is a picture of my box and the card. ​

my pencil is in Bait, which is a super cute color

Edit: I can't seem to rotate the first picture, so apologizes to your necks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hope I get the handcream and the perfume stick! Nothing else is that interesting to me, but I'll probably change my mind once my box arrives /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oooo, I hope I get the Lierac.  Dying to try it and it looks like a good size!

all you guys who got their boxes today (whether r29 or regular) -- did you ever receive a shipping notification or did they just show up??

edit: my GB just arrived... LOL!

- Illamasqua pencil in Rump... BABY BLUE... really? If anyone wants this, I'd be happy to swap!

- Kryolan blush in Glossy Rosewood (yay!)
- Skin & Co Truffle Serum (yay!) - NuMe Argan Oil (yay!)
- Incoco nail polish strips... WHY?????? Ugh! Hahaha. They look like a matte red, so at least it's a color I'd actually wear. Maybe I'll give them another shot.
 
 
I anyone wants to trade the Illamasqua pencil for their perfume, hit me up! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I didn't swatch it or anything. 

 

[heartsandwhimsy]

In my opinion the R29 boxes are sooooooo much better than the regular ones this month!  I am dying to try the Missha if anyone wants to swap something.. I'm probaby a #21 or #23.  I would trade anything in my Glossybox (even multiple items) and I have 2 deluxe size Benefit They're Real mascaras from Ipsy

 

[goodgollymolly6]

Ugh, I got a duplicate blush that I received in a previous box. I cant find their contact information on the website does anyone know how I contact customer service about this?

iron was 115$ but out of stock so I got the 125$ flat iron and paid 12$ for shipping! That really is not a bad deal for the hair iron at all I can't wait to get it and finally try one of nume hair tools! As fas as the other code in the box from skinco it says you can get a free sample set but I don't see where we enter the code or do we have to buy something first???

I tried adding a random item to my cart and see if the code will work but I got this... maybe the code isn't active yet?

So i'm sorta really terribly annoyed. One of my items was missing from my box -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Really glossybox? Funny thing is when I was opening my box I even commented to myself that I thought it felt too light. Anyway my box contains (or should I say is supposed to contain): 

Illamasqua Lip and Eye Medium Pencil (in Black)
Lierac Gommage Sensoriel (it's an exfoliator)
Nume Style Arganics by NuMe Argan Oil (what's missing)
Perfumies Solid Perfume Stick (in cucumber, which was rolled all the way up and smashed in the cap, when I call about my missing item I'm going to see if I can get a replacement)
Skin and Co Roma Ruffle Serum: Hydro-Toning Day Face Serum

Once you log-in to their website there is a there is a form to submit comments.  I've used this form in the past and have received email responses from GB.

@Rachel Liane:

Last month someone was missing the blush from their GB, and got a replacement product! It wasn't the blush as GB claimed to be out of them, but some really expensive body tonic or body oil or something, check the October thread /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was a bit jealous - I don't think it was an item they actually sent out in the boxes.. I would have liked that too! Hahaha.

P.S.:

Why did GB say they're out of the blush, but now they are again sending it this month? I doubt they have a new batch made for this month. Weird...
Oh, if someone wants my hair tool code, let me know. I looked at the store but I don't need anything.

That happened to me last month. It took a while to get ahold of them, but they did send me a replacement. HOWEVER, they didn't send the same product I was missing...it was the Kryolan blush I was missing...I thought maybe they had run out, because they sent me the body oil instead, but girls are getting the blush this month, so I have no idea why they didn't just send me what I was supposed to get...

but yeah, they did send me a replacement,s o they should take care of you!

Yeah, I was the one missing the blush and I was a little bummed when I saw girls getting the bluxh this month! The replacement I got was more than satisfactory, don't get me wrong, but I am a blush fiend! Oh well...maybe I'll get it this month!?

Actually, now that I think about it, I guess they didn't specifically say "We ran out of the blush"...it was something along the lines of "If we are unable to replace the exact product, a product of equal or greater value will be provided" so I guess I just assumed. Who knows...

 

[Ashley Curley]

I just got my box today...I am not sure how I feel about it. I really loved the October Box and this one is awful to me by comparison.

Epionce Hand Cream...Ok, but I have a ton of hand cream.
Illamasqua Lip and Eye Medium Pencil- Strumpet (Red). Red is not my color. I am willing to trade it for the blush that some people received in their boxes. Message me/reply if interested.
Nume Arganics Oil...I am excited to try this!
Perfumies...I got Kissing Bandit. This just smelled gross to me (I like more fruity scents). It has already made its way to the trash can.
Skin&Co Truffle Serum...not sure about this. Considering I am 26 I don't feel I need to "slow down the signs of aging". We shall see.
 
Hopefully December's box is better.

I have a #23 from last month that I gave my mom but I came back this week and she hadn't even taken it out of the GB. She doesn't seem to want it anymore so I'm up for trading for...something. It's totally new, I've tried Missha before so I didn't even need to open it to know that it wasn't my shade. 

 

[cranraspberry]

This was my first box - I signed up with the KISS code, but didn't get the promised lipstick with my order. 



I got:

- the blush (seems really nice - love the color and the texture, but haven't tried it on my cheeks yet)

- the face serum (smells nice as well, we'll see what it does. Liked the sample size of this one - serum samples are usually teensy little thingies)

- the argan oil (I've been wanting to try something like that)

- the Illamasqua pencil in Whiplash (now this is a strange one - it's a gorgeous color on its own, a bright yellow/lime, but I'm not nearly brave enough to wear that as an eyeliner, let alone a lip liner...)

- the Incoco stickers in Sinderella (not really something I can see myself using, although the color is a nice deep red)

I'm glad I didn't get the perfume, but I was really hoping for the hand cream and/or Lierac scrub... 

If anyone wants to trade the nail stickers or the Illamasqua, just let me know! I'll gladly throw in the hair styling coupon code as well.
All in all, I like to think of Glossybox as a little treat for myself once a month. I can't say I'm too thrilled with the contents of the box (and it's my first one! I was kind of expecting to be super excited), but then again I'm mostly paying for the experience - the expectations, the pretty box delivered to my doorstep and getting to try something new, and not for the products themselves. 

But quite frankly if the next couple of boxes are comparable to this one, I will be canceling. 

 

[StickyLips]

I got the Illamasqua in Devotion which is a light green according to an online chart.  I haven't opened it.  I'll trade for just about any other color and will even throw in the solid perfume 'forever young' or the Truffle Serum.  Send PM if interested.
