When you use the serum and moisturizer/night cream/day cream, how much do you put on?  I'm very conservative and am wondering if I'm not using enough to be beneficial.

My average is about the size of a pea.

I use about a dime-sized blob of the truffle serum and then maybe a pea-sized amount of moisturizer on top (a little less than usual).

I received a blush this month that is the same brand and color that they sent me last month. I emailed them about it 5 days ago and haven't heard anything back, of course I can't get through on the phone. I saw that a few of you went through this as well, did they do anything for you?

They got back to me today. It was a nice reply and they're going to send a new product. It might have taken longer than I'd like but at least they responded.

By the way that whole blush falling out of the pan thing? Count me in. :/

:-/  Yeah, it's like it was never adhered.  The back of mine is even speckled with silver from the pan.  I have no idea how that happened.  They said they'd replace it for me, and here's hoping because other than the error rendering it mostly unusable, the product is wonderful.

It totally made the whole box worthwhile for me. Such a shame - mine broke the second time I used it. And worst of all, I can't even go out and buy a replacement!

I sent them a message about it as well, but I doubt I'll get a replacement. Mine's still kind of useable.

You can fix that! I saw a tutorial on Pinterest on how to fix broken eyeshadows and blushes. If you are interested I can find it for you.

Yeah, I thought about trying to fix the few chunks that I have left, but they need to know there was a manufacturing error too.  It's not like I dropped it; it wasn't attached in the first place.

I thought this would be at least something good to practice fixing since it's pretty much a loss and I allegedly am getting another one.

I saw some girls who experienced the same problem so I thought it would be better to share here -

I was one of the girls who bought their 3-month subscription using COSMO code back in Oct and got the Oct box with no problem. However, I read that not only me, but some other girls didn't receive anything for Nov - not only no shipping notice, but no order confirmation from the very beginning.

So I contacted Glossybox using the online form, and waited 4 days before getting a reply, they reverted nicely and asked for a status update - whether I still didn't receive anything. I said no and pointed out that there was not even an order confirmation for me.

No replies since, but 3 days after I replied their email, I received a "Your package has shipped!!" email from this weird sender namely "US Fulfilment Center". As all my other purchases are already on their way and I have all the tracking numbers, I suspect that this is the missing November Glossybox they sent to me.

Definitely not a pleasant experience but I appreciate their effort in making things up. Though I'm not going to continue with my subscription after the 3 months (or 4 months as I "should" get one month free), because I really don't want to spend my valuable time in these kind of matter ever again.

I would be so grateful!!! I kind of stuck it back in there, bit there are more and more "crumbs" coming off every time I swish my brush around in it, so it's far from perfect.

 I got that same super weird ass email out of nowhere. I'm not expecting another GB and I have no clue what it could possibly be from.

i got an email saying that too and i had no idea where it was from!

 

[JessP]

I got it, too, and was so confused! How do we know it's from GB? I mean, I guess since we all have GB in common it would make sense..?

ETA another weird thing is that the tracking number doesn't work for me.

i ordered two but only got one of those weird emails. maybe its something else we all have in common, like another subscription

^ I got one too, and that I was credited 100 points? I have no idea what they're talking about since I received my Nov bag but thought it might be a mistaken when they meant that they were shipping me a new BB cream? :

 

[vugrl]

I got the same shipping notice today and had no clue what it was for. Odd... I signed up with the cosmo code and received my nov box.

That sounds like a Birchbox reply.

I got this email, too. Except mine was from Glossybox saying "your box has shipped!" I received my R29 box last week, so I have no idea why they're sending me another box....??? I signed up for another 3 months on 11/28, so I was hoping they weren't sending me a November box to start the 3 months, but I don't think that's the case. I think they've got some logistical issues and have sent most R29ers 2 boxes this month.

I'm supposed to get the 2nd box today or tomorrow. Wonder if it'll be the R29 or regular November box?

 

[amberlamps]

Okay!

I got the same shipping e-mail and I have never subscribed to Glossybox.

Ahh! A twist! Lol where in heck is this from?! Oh and to answer your question from the PopSugar thread - it's from an sselect email address with the name of US Fulfillment Center. I ended up thinking it was spam until I saw these posts. Unless we all got spammed? Who knows!
