Glossybox - November 2012

[mermuse]

I got my tracking number today with the same goofy 0000 nonsensical, nonworking sequence.  The mail came early, and no box for me yet.

It's supposed to be a r29 box which I think I should prefer as I should be able to make use of a duplicate Missha since my original one was too light and I found uses for it, and I was planning on buying that color OPI anyway.  Yet,  I still feel a little bit jealous of the pencil I won't be getting.  Heh.  I just really love Illamasqua.  How is the quality of that item for those who did get it?  How does it compare to, say, UD pencils?

Also, I got December for 40% off with the code BLACK40, so try it if you missed using the other code.

I got my shipping notification today. Checked the mail and my GB was there /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They have two numbers. The one displayed on their website (which pretty much never works and is impossible to get anyone on the phone) and the number listed on their glossybox usa help twitter which is 855 738 1140 and they pretty much always answer. Hope that helps. =)

I got my shipping info this morning and my first box this afternoon. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm the same with the rest in tracking. Usually by the time I get the shipping notice I can log onto Newgistics and see it sitting in NJ for at least 10 days but this time- nada. I've never been one of the lucky ones that gets the box before the shipping notice.

Still waiting for my R29 box!!! Really crossing my fingers for Missha #27! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Everything looks so nice though hehe. Super pumped.

Do you have to close your old account and open a new one to use the code? I'm thinking they'll send repeats to all the "new" custera (or the ones who are not new but closed their acct for the deal)

I presume this is the case.  As I was just finishing the r29 deal, my account was technically closed, so I was getting a new month to month membership with the code.  When I got the r29 deal, I closed my existing recurring membership to sign up for the 3 month deal.

So I was expecting 2 boxes, but I came home to 3 boxes.  I got the R29 box AND I received 2 of the Nov boxes--identical.  Unfortunately, I now have 3 of the blush (1 from last month and 2 in these boxes).  Can you say trade list?  LOL.

Oh, and my llama squama (sorry, I still say it this way in my head) colors are:

Hex (soft biscuit nude) and Honour (rich chocolate brown)--I love both these colors.

Was soooo hoping for my GB to come today but not yet : (

Oh, I received Missha #21--if anyone happens to get #23 and wants to swap, please PM me.  Thanks!

I just thought this was really weird and wanted to share. I ordered 2 boxes for this month and I received shipping info with the SAME tracking number that doesn't work. I won't throw it up on here but the last 8 numbers on the tracking is 20000000 which is extremely odd and unlikely since they ship them individually and was signed up under different email accounts. 

Anyone else have the same last 8 on their tracking?

I do!  And it hasn't updated yet either.  Seems kind of strange we all have the same 2000000, no? I'm going to try to make it to my post office tomorrow before work to see if it might be in my PO box.

That's the end of my tracking, too! Hmm...well...hope it shows up soon...

I got my box yesterday! It was a good one, even though I am super jealous about the R29ers getting Missha.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

my pencil was a dark brown, but I don't see the name of the shade on the product- by the chart I think it is Honour. Will be on my trade list. Kinda bummed I didn't get a solid perfume, I was really looking forward to it. The blush looks like a sweet light pink, but I tried it on and it is darker than I expected! Still a nice color though. I got Incoco strips in Sinderella, a Christmas-y red. I wont use it, love Incoco, but I really like their design strips. I also have no use for the hair oil. The face enzyme looks interesting, but like everyone else is saying, it seems more empty than full!

*edited to get spoiler tag working

My box just showed up!

Sadly, I did not get the hand cream that I wanted...but if anyone got it and doesn't want it, let me know /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also didn't get the solid perfume, which was the other thing I really wanted.

I did get:

Illamasqua pencil in Rump (light blue)

Kryolan blusher

Skin & Co Truffle Serum

Nume Argan Oil

Incoco nail strips in Sinderella
I will be putting my nail strips up for trade and if youd on't want your hand cream or solid perfume, keep me in mind!

Is what shows up under the "Box" tab what I'm getting in my box?

 

[StellaSunshine]

Thanks to everyone for posting the photos.  I think the boxes are looking great this month!  It might be fun to have a separate thread to show off all the Illamasqua funky colors!

My shipping notice came yesterday but my tracking number is also not working.  Here's to hoping my box arrives soon.  I'm getting the regular box.

I don't believe so.  It just shows which items they are giving out for the current month.  You should be receiving a combination of 5 of those featured items.

 

[meaganola]

Sometimes there are items sent out that aren't on that list, like the blusher. I received it in my box last month, but it wasn't on the box page.

 

[SnowLeopard]

My box just got delivered and I'm sorry to say it was disappointing. My Skin&Co Truffle Serum is completely empty. My Illamasqua is in Hex which is a sort of nude champagne. I'm pretty easy to please and this is the first Glossybox I haven't loved.
