Glossybox - November 2012

[heartsandwhimsy]

Im so excited to get home- my box is waiting for me.  I'm secretly hoping that Glossybox screwd up and gave me the R29 box- it looks so amazing.  I know this isn't possible but a girl can dream can't she...LOL!

I posted almost exactly the same thing : )

I received this box but my illamasqua is in Strumpet, which is a bright pinkish color. Here's a picture.

Has anyone emailed glossy box about the Skin & Co being empty? Mine is super light and i looked into its and its like nothing is in there!

Sooooo weird....I actually got 2 boxes today.....I bought the Refinery 29 deal and thats all I had on there.  I am thrilled about it but did everyone who got the refinery 29 deal get 2 boxes? 

 

[CAPSLOCK]

It seems like a lot of people who bought the R29 got 2 boxes... another reason to wish I had purchased it.  I do love that gold polish.  I got:

The Epionce Hand Cream
The Illamasqua in bright orange
The Arganics by Nume
The Truffle Serum
Solid Stick Perfumies in "Double Rainbow: A heavenly soft and whimsical blend of hydrangea and violet with nuances of pear and musk. "

I had of course hoped for any color of the Illamasqua other than orange or yellow and really hoped for the Lierac and the blush.  I'm open to trading anything!

Got my box today..gotta say I'm pretty dissapointed I got the truffle skin cream which was empty. The orange illamasqua, a body scrub, the perfume that smells like cheap soap and my argan oil was missing. This was my fav sub but this month..for the amount of money..sucked.

 

[Babs]

Super bummed. I paid for 2 boxes this month and got two IDENTICAL boxes. Which means I have 2 full size Epionce Hand Cream. Will be looking to get rid of one of them. Any takers? I would love to swap for the blush but I am pretty open. I also got the perfume in sugar bear that I'm not too excited about.

Ahhh, so this must be the company Maria (owner of Cult Nails) was talking about. Good for her! I'm so happy for her because her polishes are fantastic.

Someone post the link to R29, please.

 

[Hootiehoo]

I bought the R29 boxes in addition to my normal boxes.  Both of my boxes arrived and imagine my surprise when I opened them both to find exact duplicates of the normal lame November month boxes and NOT the R29 box. Same exact color of eye pencil in the light gray but two different smelly perfume sticks.  I'm so dissappointed!  I want my R29 box!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The polish looks gorgeous...a copper with pink shimmer....

Love the Spa Water too. 

This looks like a good box!

Urgh, what I said about wanting, say, neon lime green liner but probably getting brown or black?  I got brown.  Specifically, Honour.  And the perfume stick is Canoodle, which is apparently a mix of roses, jasmine, geranium, and soap.  Hate brown liner, can't wear soapy florals.  Anyone want to swap their blue/green/purple/fuchsia pencil and/or fruity perfume stick (actually, I'm pretty much interested in just about any of them that are *not* on the Perfumies Clean scent page)?  I'm especially bummed about the perfume stick because finally!  Scent in a subscription box in a form I can actually *wear*!  And it turns out that it's a scent that is practically custom-made to give me a headache.  All it need is white sandalwood or white musk to *guarantee* it.

(And the truffle serum!  Argh!  Dear all serum/lotion/cleanser/etc. companies:  If you are sending one tablespoon -- per the size printed on the back of the tube, that's how much was in there, and based on my eyeball guesstimation, that actually does seem to be right -- of a product, send it in a container appropriate for the amount you're sending!  Otherwise, we will assume that you don't know how to fill containers, and we won't buy your stuff.  And the "code" for a free sampler?  The sampler *is* free on your website!  The code isn't recognized!)

(On the up side, someone finally responded to my emails about missing my October surveys -- more than two weeks after my first email.  They're just giving me the points rather than loading the surveys.  Oh, wait a second:  They gave me *five hundred* points for the missing surveys, not one hundred as they should have for one missing month.  Okay, I'm not as super pissed off at them now, assuming they don't change their mind and take them back.  I'm over the threshold for a free box now.  I wonder whether I'll have to fight them about redeeming those points next month or if they just do it automatically.)

I recieved 3 shipping notices for my Glossybox.  The 3rd one appears to be the correct one, and my box is in my state, so I'll probably have it tomorrow.  I hope my eye or lip pencil is a color I will actually use.  I'm also hoping to get the hand cream, and the Leirac exfoliator.  And the blush.

This is my 1st Glossybox, and I'm not sure how I feel about it.  I looked at the pictures and videos on You Tube before joining, and I was a lot more impressed with the previous months.  I ended up canceling after seeing this months box online, but since I liked what I saw for all the previous months, I will probably rejoin for next month, and then make a decision.  I'm also thinking about Test Tube Beauty.  I like that I could purchase just one box from QVC without making a commitment.

Girl, never come near me because you'd get the worst migraine of your life. Sandalwood and white/egyptian musk (and amber) are my favorite type of perfume notes along with roses. Hahaha.

Wish I had something to offer.. I know you said you liked brights and neons.. would you be interested in something that didn't come from a sub box? I may have some things stashed away (new or like-new/opened but never used). If so, message me what type of things you like (blush, e/s, nail polish, etc)!

The blush is sooooooo beautiful on!! I love it!

 

[Brittann]

Is anyone going to buy this? I am so tempted to order it!!

 

[CaliMel]

That R29 holiday box looks good, but it also seems kind of expensive to me, so I think I'll pass. It looks super nice, but I just have soooo many hair masks and nail polishes and I already own that Josie Moran product.

But I still think Glossyboxes boxes are the best made and prettiest of all the sub box boxes. I ended up recycling all of my Sample Society and Birchbox ones and keeping the 4 GlossyBox ones I have because they're just so nice and sturdy!

I love it too! Love the color, the texture (blends beautifully! and all this time I thought my blotchy blush issues were due to a bad brush...) and it lasts all day!

I also actually liked the argan oil - I was in need of a silicone shine serum, and this one does a great job on my hair with no added greasiness. No way I'm paying $59 for a full bottle though.

Not too huge of a fan of the truffle serum. I thought it was kind of odd that the third listed ingredient is starch (huh?), and it feels sticky when you apply it. I kind of want to let it dry before I put my cream on, but as it dries it starts to "pull" on the skin, and that just feels weird.

Does anyone have that December R29 link? Can';t find and I think my sub is up in December!

ETA:  Ooooops. saw it up there! Not really worth it. Oh, well.
