Received my box today. And the hair oil was open and leaked all over everything. I have emailed them and contacted them on th. I have already canceled and this was my last box. Was not thrilled with my last box either. Hope they do something make it right. Overe half the bottle of oil leaked out!!! Total mess.

 
I got my box today; no leaks or issues. I like this box because I got the Sulwhasoo, and I thought it was neat to get an eyeshadow and an eyeshadow brush to use with it.

 
I got a jelly pong pong 2 in 1 eyeshadow eyeliner. The crease brush, black shadow, face polish and hair oil.

This was the box I got. I have no idea how that jelly pong pong is going to work... I feel like I should save it for next Halloween and be a raccoon.

I could swear it was black... I have to check again.

 
Here's the colors of the brown pencil...I am not swatching them as I am giving it away, but the ends of the pencil look pretty accurate to these stripes.
I got this pencil in the same colors as well. I swatched them on my hand and I love the colors, but I had to press down pretty hard and swipe back and forth to get any color. Not sure how great it's going to feel doing that on my eyes.

mine leaked all over too! How hard would it have been to send a plastic sealed sample?! So annoying.

I do too! My newest obsession is tiffany's blue. I know it sounds ridiculous but pair with Tieks flats (which btw is actually on sale), its a flash of robbins egg blue from head to toe! I would've bought this box if the shadow wasn't matte black.

Doesn't sound ridiculous to me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I wear liners AND shadows in every color of the rainbow. My current favorite eyeliner colors are bright purple and turquoise! So much fun when you don't limit yourself. :) /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 second this, I've contacted them this way twice and service was prompt.

I, too, didn't get my balm with the LIPS code.  The first time I contacted them (via email), they said they'd send it and they didn't.  The second time, I contacted them through Facebook and they said they'd correct it.  They instead sent me another Balance Me and a tiny hair oil sample.  I was confused, so I called and they apologized and said they'd fix it.  Still waiting...

Maybe one day I'll get my balm.  If you read this, Glossybox, it's on YOUR head if my lips get dry and uncomfortable this winter!

 
I just received my box...



The eyeshadow brush is nice and soft, and I'll definitely be using it (er...already used it), along with the face cleanser. Not sure about the hair oil; I will probably try it applied generously to my hair before showering, let it sit, and wash it out. The eyeshadow is matte BLACK BLACK BLACK. Like, black as my soul. It's super pigmented and blends out easily. I used the JPP liner and applied the eyeshadow on top at my lash line and outer corner and smudged it out to a dark gray, and it's really pretty. The eyeshadow is also pretty as an eyeliner by itself.

My face polish and hair oil had some minor leakage issues, but I live a mile above sea level, no nothing new. If you're wondering what to do with that Herban Essentials towelette...it worked like a charm.

OK, here's my Subscription Box FOTD before I jump in the shower:


Emite Dams 

Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Eyeliner/Shadow

Pixi Subtly Suntouched

Be A Bombshell Shameless

Pop Aqua Lacquer in Flowering Fuchsia

Ellis Faas mascara

Glossybox Ribbon

Plus non-box stuff:

Laura Mercier Pink Opal Caviar Stick in the center of lid

Koh Gen Doh Pressed Powder

My camera wasn't focusing well, but I could use some airbrushing anyway.

I've suscribed to Glossybox for 2 months, and so far I've been pretty happy.

I received my first box on Nov. 7. The lip balm from the LIPS coupon code wasn't in the box, but I received it a week after I emailed Glossybox. My October box had the Bulgari perfume, but the Sesha mask. I could have been happier with the exfoliator but I can't complain since I got the Bulgari perfume.

I received my November box a few days ago. It had the Sulwhasoo cream.

 
How do they decide who gets the cream and who gets eyeliner? It's not like Wantable were you tell them your likes and dislikes. I have a feeling they use demographics. I  think  I got a tiny sample of expensive anti-aging cream instead of an eyeliner cause I'm in my 40s and admitted to spending more than $200 a month on beauty products. I think I'll change my profile and say that I'm 25.

You may be right, I'm almost 40 and listed my style as 'extravagant' and I got the cream.

I got the cream and I'm in my 30s.
