I reallly do hope that the eyeshadow brush ends up on someone's trade list because it's impressive.  I'm pretty glad I stayed unsubbed, but I also think it could have been fun to play with the black shadow, even if I don't think my pale skin would have been a good look on me.

I hope you do love it once you see it though :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I don't love this month but I think I'll end up using everything.  However with my super white skin I think the eyeshadow would be better passed on to a friend!

It'll end up on mine. I already have plenty of brushes as it is.

Let me know what you're looking to trade for (or things that you want, you know the deal).   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I just bought some new eye brushes at Target from Sonia Whateverhernameis and, while they weren't cheap and looked nice, I really, REALLY hate the shadow brush.  The liner brush was okay (the one that came in my Starbox is nicer though), and I actually like the smudge brush.  I'm just on the lookout for a good shadow brush and blush brush.   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
What did you get instead of the cream?
I got a Jelly Pong pong 2-in-1 eyeliner & shadow in black. It says it's a "uniquely formulated crayon" that works as an eyeliner or eyeshadow. I mean...if there's already a black eyeshadow, why give another black liner/eyeshadow pencil? Not sure how the items in this month's box go with the November theme. I think glossybox should just get rid of the whole theme thing since they don't seem very good at picking out items that fit the theme anyway.
 
You're right. The themes are arbitrary, and the Jelly Pong Pong is redundant. I guess Modern Romance means looking like a raccoon to GB? My box is due to arrive in Monday. I'm hoping for the Sulwhasoo.

 
Good news is my GB arrived early. Bad news is I did not get the Sulwhasoo. Sigh. I got a Vincent Longo liner instead. More trade fodder for my ever expanding list.

Congrats, that's awesome!

 
Just received my November Glossybox.  I love it!  I am almost out of the cleanser I am using right now, so I can't wait to try the Cleansing Polish.  The same applies to the Sulwhasoo Ginseng Cream.  The brush is very soft, I will try it tomorrow.  The Mastey Leave-In Oil smells better than the leave-in oil I am currently using, so I can't wait to try it!  The black shadow is the least interesting product to me, but I know I will use it, mostly as an eye liner.  Overall, I am really pleased with the box!

The cream is only .17 ounces, super small and might as well be a foil pack considering the size. I hope I receive a full size liner, as opposed to a sample that won't be enough to tell if it's worth spending the $260+ on a face cream. IMO

 
Hey everyone.  I am in a lot of pain, so I might be so mad partially because of that, but let me know what you think.

I originally signed up for Glossy in October when they had a special going on where you enter the code "LIP" into checkout and your first box was supposed to come with a Malin + Goetz lip balm for free.  This sort of sealed the deal for me and  I pulled the trigger and ordered.  Like most of the others that used this promotional code, I did not receive my balm when I received my box,  I immediately sent a message to Glossy who responded that it would be on its way to be shortly.  On the 13th, still missing my lip balm, I contacted them again that I was missing the full sized product i was promised and would like it.  I DID say that, since the BODY code was released after the LIP code, I would be willing to settle for the later free gift of powder if they were out of the gift I was due, but I'd rather have the balm that was promised me.  They responded that they saw the earlier message, that they weren't sure what had happened, they apologized, and said they would send me my missing gift.

Today, I had a small, padded envelope from Glossybox in with my mail.  I got excited and opened it up.  Not long after tearing into the package, my jaw just dropped.  Inside the opened package was yet ANOTHER Balance Me Lip Tint left over from October's box (on another note, I really didn't like this product.  I've been trying to get it trade it for the past month unsuccessfully and now I have another one.  They also sent a tiny sample of Matrix Exquisite Oil, which is nice, but nothing I'd be able to use more than once.

The whole idea behind getting free gifts is to try new things.  While I CAN understand Glossy using their leftovers to appease their clients, sending me the same product I received in the box I received the first week in November is really a slap in the face.

I tried to call their line, but their mailbox is full and they're "busy helping other customers".

Seriously?!?

I used the LIPS code when I bought an extra box. They forgot to send it to me too, so I tweeted them. I got the balm and extras the following week. Tweet or FB them. You will get much, much better service.

I thought I used the BODY code, but didn't receive anything extra. Is there a way to be able to tell if the code was accepted after the fact? I don't see it in my order history.

Haha, too funny! Just got my shipping email so here's hoping I don't get the upset bag this month! Lmao. Gotta love auto correct! Just ask Tiffany, I was cussing her out last night thanks to darn auto correct. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I can see my trade feedback now! Haha
