If anyone's interested in the heel balm and wants to trade it for the enzyme facial peel, do let me know.

Thanks!

The enzyme peel isn't that great and it's a small sample (.025) so you really aren't missing much!

That tiny?! GB really disappointed me this month. I hope they are reading this. 

Still, I think for someone with combo troubled skin, I would have expected something for my face on a spa day. No? And what's up with nudes/neutrals for olive/tanned skin?

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed with this month's too.  I would never in a million years actually go out and buy the products I got, especially that $38 (!?) lipstick gloss thing which frankly isn't any better than the Glossybox lipstick last month.

Got my box today! I agree shipping was super fast, they shipped on the 18th and it got here today. I got the heel cream repeat, maybe because I'm technically a new subscriber, but I got it in the July box they sent with the NYFW code. 

I dunno...I kinda like this month's box. Not super exciting but I think I'll actually use everything.

My box hasn't arrived (but it looks very likely it'll appear Monday - which is fast for Glossybox!) - but I agree.  Maybe not super-duper exciting, but all things I'll use and enjoy.  Overall, most products seem like good sizes too!

I'm half hoping I get a repeat on the heel balm since I'm not getting R29 boxes.  Glossybox might see that as a separate subscription and send the repeat (maybe?). I really liked it and you can't purchase that brand in the US as of yet.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   I had never used a foot cream/heel balm before but I thought it had nice results.  So nice, that when I made my recent Drugstore.com order (to use my cash-back I accrued) that I stocked up on Caswell-Massey Foot Comfort Creme at $3.50 a pop to get free shipping.  (That brand was also sampled by Glossybox and I liked them!)

I'd be happy with the face enzyme but I DO NOT want another polish from that Llama company.  I did not like the formula AT ALL and the colors were only "meh" to me.  If I get a repeat nail polish, I may write Glossybox to see if I can get something new since I already received that.

I really really liked the polish!  I thought the formula is great, it stayed in my nails for over a week (that doesn't even happen when I do gel polish).  I think it actually lasted 2 weeks for me because I painted over the Illamasqua (or however it is spelled) after wearing it for a week with color club (which always chips like the next day) and that lasted about a week.  I'm willing to trade for them!

If you cover shipping, I will send you my Illamasqua in Purity (if you want it).  It's the light peach.  It was used once, but I won't use it again because the formula did not work for me.

It didn't chip but was I hated how it applied - and it's not a flattering color on me.  I do the best w/Zoya's formula.  OPI I can work with, but I love how Zoya's apply and their brushes by far.

PM me if you're interested.  I have so much extra shizz I'm happy to just move it along (vs. trading - unless you have that Ofra eyebrow brush.  I'd love another of those...) 

 

[lolitam]

I absolutely ADORE Illamasqua polishes and I wasn't subscribed for the month they sent them out, so I'm hoping one day they will send more of those out.  I'll admit the Chartreuse-ish color is probably hard for most people to even want to pull off (although my oldest daughter would probably have loved it. Esp. for Halloween, as she is an 80s punk rocker and the polish looks to be the same color as her tights)    Too bad they didn't send out their "rubber" finish polishes, those are so cool.

Anyway, I'm patiently waiting for my box... or impatiently, since it will probablyl take forever to get here like last month.  But almost everything I've seen in the pics and spoilers looks interesting to me.  Maybe not quite as wonderful as October, but still well worth the cost for me.

How many of you got the Illamasqua polish this month and what type of skin did you put down for your beauty profile?

AWESOME!

I got the same box as Dalisay but got purity again. Think I should say something? A little bummed I didn't get carole's daughter.

Actually after actually using everything, I changed my mind about this month's box: I used the loofah soap and really liked it: I got it in peppermint but I think I might purchase the blood orange in the future.  The enzyme thing didn't work for me at all, and the lipstick of the duo thingie is something I'd use although the packaging is a big wtf.  I really appreciate the diversity of the products they have.

For those who used the NYFW code who are still waiting on their box and got an earlier box this month: I just got mine today without a delivery confirmation emailed to me at all.

I just got my box. It's not like the other months but seems nice...a little different but that's almost a good thing. The Orange Loofah seems nice to use on my heels as they tend to get rough. The Carol's Daughter doesn't smell like the scent that is listed but seems pretty moisturizing, I look forward to trying it out. The lipstick shade seems quite pretty and should work well for me.

ALSO, to anyone who got Missha #27 last month...what was your profile info??? Tanned? Dark? I had put medium & combination skin, and somehow ended up with #23 which was wayyyyy too light and pink for me. If I get another..idk what I'd do with it. 

I second this.

So they definitely are sending repeats. I will be so disappointed if I get Illamasqua again..ESPECIALLY purity.

If I get the polish in my box, I'd be happy to trade it for something! I hated it last time.

agree...a real disappointment. The Carol's Daughter soufflé smells horrific!!!! It's sickeningly sweet. Overall, not a box up to GB standards...or mine.

I didn't get #27, but I got the darkest shade #31. My profile was "light" and "combination" so the lightest shade #13 would have been great for me. I emailed them about it, but of course they apologized and recommended I use it for bronzer or mix it with a foundation to make it lighter. It's too dark for me to use as a bronzer and I would think mixing it with a foundation would remove all the benefits of using a BB cream. It was nice getting a full size BB cream, but what's the point if you can't use it.

Aw, I was just coming to post that I kind of love the souffle. I got the Ecstasy one and I think is smells sooo good...I went online to the website afterwards and looked at all of the different scents they had and they all sounded great to me.

What does the Ecstasy one smell like? I have seen that one and Almond Cookie received so far.

Wow, don't you love these mail days! I had one like this, this week and it was so awesome! After a rough couple of days of dealing with all the "politics" of teaching Special Education, it was what I needed!

Haha they're the best! Definitely a picker-upper so I'm glad you had one, too! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
