I haven't received any e-mails. Last month was my first glossy box, so while I may sound obtuse could the e-mails be from the surveys? It seemed like the surveys were written by the company given by glossybox so that they could receive the input back. 

 
I received the email from Sesha too, but I have to admit I'm glad about this one because I wanted to buy the exfoliating gel and the 40% off coupon is great! I do understand the concern about our information being sold, however, and will unsubscribe from their emails going forward. 

For anyone interested, the code for Sesha is "GLOSSY40" and is good until midnight on November 15th. 

 
I've gotten emails, and two from Byrdie in the last two days. I keep forgetting to unsubscribe! I really can't believe we haven't heard anything more about this box - no more spoilers, coupons...sigh.

I know right? Don't they know I'm ready to throw my money at them at a moments notice if there are other items that I find more usable in this months box?!

Yes!  I have been a VERY GOOD GIRL (hear that, Santa?) at my no-buy for the past three months and decided that as reward I would get this as one of my Christmas presents *for me!*

I just need the right direction to throw my money in!

I know, it's making me sad.  I canceled my sub when I saw the black liner, waiting to see what else is in the box.  Waiting on more spoilers to decide whether I want to reup.

 
Same here with the Byrdie spam...I feel a bit violated. Can't recall that happening with any of my other boxes.

Finally a spoiler!!



Interesting, but I think I'll stay unsubbed this month.  I'm not impressed with the black shadow and my hair is so ridiculously thick that I require a serious amount of these types of products when I use them coupled with the fact that my sister is a cosmetologist, so she gets a super discount on color-saving products and I already have a favorite that I use.  That said, if the last part weren't the case, I'd probably be a lot more interested in this box just to try this product.  I love color saving hair products.  I'm a natural ginger (orangey red), but I dye my hair a brighter red because I hate my natural color and reds fade QUICKLY.

 
I don't think I will sub this month.  black eyeshadow and a leave in oil treatment for my already very oily and fine, limp hair - no, not tempted...

they would have to hit a homerun with the other items, but the matte skin hint - what does that mean?  A powder of some type?  A primer (yuck)?

 
I forgot to unsub this month. I'm not excited for the black shadow, but the color protecting oil might be good. I don't know anything about the brand Mastey.

 
Ehh...I'm also glad I unsubbed last month. I'm glad I'm a member here because now I know that you can sub/unsub easily with GB, even after spoilers are released!

Thanks to all you ladies who share your methods

I would honestly guess that the other products would be less impressive (or at least in sizes I'm not interesting in paying $21 for), considering the oil treatment is a $25 value and the Emite eyeshadow they're listing at $27.  With two items with retail values like that, the other stuff is probably just sample or deluxe sample sizes,  That said, they've surprised me before and, considering that they ship so late, most of us don't get our November boxes until December, they might actually consider this their "holiday" box and make it a little sexier for us (although with the limited edition NAP box having just come out, I'm certainly not 100% that we'll get a special holiday box).

 
Not thrilled with the new spoiler, but it's an interesting mix of brands that I'm not familiar with and that's what I appreciate about GB.

I generally appreciate the same.  My issue with this one, though, is that it's a mix of brands that it seems like no one's familiar with.  I haven't found a detailed review of the Emite shadow or the oil treatment.  Neither appear to be sold on sites that allow purchasers to review the products.  If someone has some links to places these have been reviewed, I'd love to see it.  I found the Emite shadow being sold online and under "photos" in the lower right corner was a beautiful picture of an application of black shadow, but when I clicked on it and it said what she was wearing, it was actually a Mac product.

 
Emite doesn't have a wide distribution. It seems to be only be available through their site, which is mainly in Swedish. I've seen a couple of reviews pop up. The eyeshadow was sent out to the British GB subscribers. I suppose that's why GB is appealing to me. They'll feature products that are hard to find, but the downside is if I end up loving it, they'll be hard to find.

Sometimes I think certain brands GB sends out are a little sketchy, but not as sketchy as a few of the brands Ipsy has included in their bags in the past. Then they completely redeem themselves when they come out with a box like Net-a-Porter and Best of Britain.
