Thanks Gals.  xoxoxoxo

Cross check your items with the card inside.  The card should list all of the products in your particular box.

I just got an email from GlossyBox stating my subscription was about to expire and I needed to re-subscribe.  I have an ongoing monthly subscription.  Did anyone else on their monthly plan get this email?  Is this another glitch or do you now need to re-subscribe on the monthly plan???

I had the R29 deal and just got the email about re-subscribing and a $5 off coupon code. Aaand I re-subscribed for 3 months. For better or worse.

I didn't realize they had a card along with the magazine- for some reason I don't think I received the card either. Thanks for the reply- ill look when I get home.

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!

Yeah, $45 is quite the stretch. Nothing in the box seems like I HAVE to have it and for that much money it better be something I can't live without.

Thanks so much! Couldn't figure that one out myself.

This is my first Glossy Box and it's ... meh. I really hope the next two are better. I'm kinda pissed at myself for paying for three months in advance before trying it out. All the reviews of past months looked so good. If any wants my Nume code, they can have it. The Nume oil is too perfumed for me, I hate strong floral scents. I was excited about this one /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's not even Argan oil. The perfume stick smells like something a 4 year old would wear. I like the hand cream. I got the Illamasqua pencil in Strumpet (bright pink/red). It's very creamy. too creamy for a lip liner I think, but I'll give it a shot. and a nearly empty Truffle Serum with the main ingredients of water, gylcerine, and POTATOE STARCH? so, for 22.00 bucks I got a small hand cream and a lip liner I may use once. awesome. :huh: I was so hoping this would be better than Birchbox at twice the price.

I've been with GB since the first box and the worst GB I've gotten is still twice as good as the best BB I ever got. There's really not a contest in my mind. BB main redeeming quality is it's points program.

I actually got the orange liner and I'd have loved the brown, however I did swatch it on my hand and tossed the box. Oops. Wasn't thinking about a trade. Wasn't thrilled with the box at all. Would have loved the blush. My perfume is very old ladylike. Not bad but not me. I love my Paula's Choice skincare so the truffle stuff is just blah to me. Hand cream will be used but I hate the smell. The hair oil is ok. I will use it. Hoping my second box will be better.

 

[Jazbot]

I got my box on Monday.

Overall not excited. ( this is the first)

The eyeliner is lime green...it's going to a Xmas present

The Other stuff not so sure...Face Serum might be gifted too.

Argan Oil is cool. I spilled my last oil (Made a huge mess)

Nail Stickers will be gifted

The last product I cab't even remeber...thats how unhappy I was....But I am entitled to one box that I don't like.

This is fine. The fact the I can use the stuff to give to other people is fine.  This is the Holida to give! Yay!

This is exactly how I feel! (This was my first GlossyBox, I got the same exact items.. even the same color eye pencil, weird!) I'll give it another month, but for the price I was definitely unimpressed, and I've heard such good things about them..

True! the points system is the only thing that kept me with BB for so long. I canceled this month though, too many CS issues made it no longer fun for me. The CS issues with GB are going to make me not want it anymore either. Oh well. Hoping for better boxes ahead!

Does anyone's GB still say "processing"?

I tried to reach customer service but have not gotten any response yet and have not been able to reach them on the phone.

btw, I have two boxes this month. One I did receive a few days ago...the other is in the one in limbo.

Does anyone else ever feel that they always get what they hope they don't get?  

I got my GB today and it's the first time I've ever been truly disappointed by them.  I got the same blush in last month's box, so now I have 2 and I don't even wear blush because my cheeks are red enough as it is.  I also got the nail stickers, which I like but can't really use since I can't wear nail polish to work, but I can deal with that.  I'm more upset that I have a repeat item that I won't use.  The only redeeming factor was the eye/lip pencil I got, which is a dark brown and is something I'll definitely use.  I'm kinda sad that both of the sub's I got in the past 2 days have been totally not awesome, but I guess that's part of the deal...

Email them. I got Illamasqua's purity twice. They sent me another color after I emailed them. Maybe you can get a different product.

 

[Schmootc]

My box showed up yesterday and the card said I was supposed to get the nail stickers, but they were missing from the package. CS said they'd send them out.

 

[Hootiehoo]

Finally got through to customer service about getting getting an exact duplicate instead of R29 and a regular box.  After 20 mins of being unable to find my name or email address, I was told that I would be getting my R29 box sent to me within 5-10 business days.  Hoping for the best but after reading how long replacements take, I won't be obsessively checking my mailbox.  Regular boxes were very underwhelming this month after the last few amazing boxes but still miles better than my very best Birchbox.

 

[NikNik455]

I finally got mine!! I got the R29 and the regular box. I got the missha in 23 and it's still too light for me. I would love to trade it for Lierac or the Rub off. I got Titivate

 Illamasqua
 would love to trade it for black. I'd also like to get rid off the OPI Golden eye. Thanks!!

 

[Lisa424]

I wish I had gotten the R29 box. It's definitely much better than the regular box this month!

 

[Loladevil]

So upset, my box said out for delivery yesterday but never arrived. Today the USPS website says delivery status not updated and still no box. I know it's not Glossybox's fault but I want my goodies /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
