Glossybox November 2013 (spoilers!)

[evildrporkchop]

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.

Unfortunately not. They probably forgot to include it. Try contacting them through FB or Twitter. You'll get a fast response.

I am pale with grey eyes, which kept me from getting this box.  I'm just scared of black shadows.  Does it look good on you?  I'm kind of sad that I didn't end up ordering.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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 finally talked to them and was told they would send my balm.  I think I might follow up with a message on Facebook as well just to make sure they KNOW that this must get fixed.  I do love them, they're just disappointing me.

I'm super pale and I sometimes wear black shadow, I will just wear it smudged lightly into the crease and blended into the outer corner, with a light color (silver, pink, pale blue, etc) on the rest of the lid to keep it from looking like I have black eyes.

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.

I can see my trade feedback now! Haha
Yes, but It was SOooo funny! I even re-read it a couple of times today because I needed to giggle

I just got an email saying I am a winner of the glossybox giveaway for sesha. I was on glossyboxes facebook page and entered. I dont know what I won. Anyone else win? I also was chosen as a weekly winner of a Aveda sample pack. What a great day!

That's awesome! You won a super-c serum and hand recovery cream set. It's worth $105! It's nice to see some other MUTers won too! Did you do the confirmation? I thought the questions were odd. Like maybe they choose certain winners based on if you had twitter and Instagram. Whatever, I told them I had none of it. I never heard back after I submitted my confirmation so I don't know if they're just shipping it or what. Did you hear back?

Is anyone else tempted by the holiday box?  I'm so tempted to sign up for 12 months to get it free...but all the service issues have me concerned.  Like many of you - I signed up with the LIP code and got nothing - emailed them and still have nothing!  They did email back and say it was on the way but I haven't had anything!

It does look like a good box...but do I really need to spend the money?

And if I sign up - will that mean I end up with another November & December box (current subscription won't finish will December).

Thanks

I havent heard back either. I didnt say I had twitter or instagram accounts either. The email didnt say what I won so I was hoping I had won the trip. How many winners were there? I won an Aveda Invanti (sp?) giveway on the same day. They were the first facebook contests I have ever done. I guess I will need to do more of them.

@biskies @emmzk25 My sistas! LOL

Gotta love dealing with the pains of being pale with blue eyes, haha! A secret I found to wearing black eyeshadow is to apply rosy blush how you normally would, then lightly dusting it all over your face for a healthy glow. It makes your skin look less stark white against the black. There's tons of ways to wear the black. You can use it like @yousoldtheworld suggested, smudged in the crease and blended, you could also lightly blend it over a black eyeliner cat eye to make the cat eye more hazy and romantic looking and not as graphic. You could pat it on over black eyeliner on your waterline to set it, or if you're feeling creative and adventurous, you could blend it right above the crease for a 60's twiggy eye, or just go for it and wear it on the lid with a warm nude above it, etc. There are a lot of fun ways to play with it! I always recommend experimenting when you have a day off and don't have to go anywhere. Grab some makeup wipes and just go for it!

I'm in the middle of a 6 month subscription that I got for a good price. Mine ends in January. I called them yesterday to ask if I could start a new 12 month subscription in February and they said no, their system isn't set up that way. So, I would be getting duplicate boxes for November, December and January... I don't want 3 duplicate boxes so I guess I will be passing on the 12 month subscription, which is really dumb on their part for not having their system updated!

You're absolutely right, but I'm such a dope when it comes to eyeliner, which was the only reason I was disappointed about getting the VL.

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

This box was so freakishly boring this month. Here's some oil, some cleanser and two black eyeshadows (because the eyeliner is a 2-in-1, yippee) and a brush..... This is not my idea of romance, I was thinking more along the lines of black eyeshadow and a red lip stick or gloss... maybe a blush or highlighter. IDK, consider this sub cancelled.

Mine hasn't shown up yet but I'll save the salwawhatchamacallit for you, if I get it. But I'll likely get the VL now, haha.

That's so sweet of you! I appreciate the gesture even if you do end up with the VL, which I agree, will definitely happen now. Murphy's Law. Haha!

 

[GlamBabe]

Thank G-d I'm not the only one totally disappointed with this month. I would return it if I could, it is THAT BAD!! I am seriously considering cancelling, the only thing stopping me is hope that Dec will be a good holiday box. Otherwise I am out of here, they just don't live up to their promise. This box was pathetic. You couldn't even see the merch with all that stupid filler. Sorry so negative, but I just opened my boxes and they suck!!

 

[Jazbot]

Mine has been stuck with USPS since the 16th :/

 

[MissRoe]

Looks like mine will be delivered tomorrow..Not to thrilled with this month..

 

[biancardi]

glad I skipped this month.

I got it! Wow, shocker. I think it's so stinking cute! Just a meh box. They are right on par, December should be a good month!

I'm also bored to tears with this box!
