I also have been with Glossybox since the beginning excluding the promotional box. I jumped the gun at the NYFW deal for the price of a 3-month plan plus an additional extra fourth box (should be the same as the COSMO deal). I had no problem after swapping my general plan for this. I did receive an extra July box early October though and I was not charged for it...even though my 3-month plan started in September! 

The extra July box IS the 4th box from the NYFW code. I was kinda disappointed but can't complain too much since it's a "free" box...Looks like from the posts on this board that the COSMO deal is actually an extra fourth month (not a previous box).

Got my box a day early woo! Very happy to not receive a repeat of the Illamasqua. Got the Carol's Daughter in coconut. Smells so good! I could smell it right when I took the lid off through the seal (which BTW was a pain to get off). Also got the heel rescue balm which I'm excited to try. I really like that they kept all their products in with their Spa Luxe theme. Well except for the lip duo . Not sure how that's spa related. It is a nice natural beige color though and the first I've gotten from GB that I can actually wear! Also, I like that they remembered the Glossy Mag this time! They are getting better and better in my opinion.. just not with shipping and surveys lol.

While I haven't tried everything yet, I thought this was another nice assortment of products!

I got:

- Facial Enzyme Peel: It's small but if it's like the Kate Somerville exfoliant (ExfoliKate), it may still be 2-3 uses.  

- Carol's Daughter lotion in Coconut - Great size.  I put a little on my hands and I didn't love it but it'll get used up.  And...it may grow on me.

- Soap: Cool!  It'll be nice to use in the bath.  (As if I make time for baths.)

- Lip gloss/stick: It's another gloss...but I can't complain.  It's full size (and supposedly expensive!).

- Bamboo Hair Shine: Okay, this smells good!  Great size.  I got a free one recently from Sally's but it's all good.

I can't fault Glossybox if I have a ton of similar things already because I'm a nut.  And, it gives me a chance to try out a brand or product I wouldn't.  I'm happy with this box.  Minus the peel, everything is BEYOND well sized for a sample box so kudos for the 3rd box in a row that was awesome!  And in November I get the "R29 Hit Kit!".  I updated my profile with the hopes of getting Missha in #23 this time...and curious what full-sized extra we get.

I may have to keep Glossybox after all...

I got three uses out of the

enzyme peel.
I really liked it! It's the first time I've used one of those products and think I'll be using a lot more!

Still no updates since the 11th, nor does it look like my box has even shipped. I've emailed them...but I'm getting super impatient.

 

[MyriadVoices]

I got my boxes today (I am getting two through next month because of the R29 deal), and they were identical. I was kind of hoping there would be fragrance variation, but I'm not too bummed about it. I got...

the Carol's Dtr in "Ecstasy"

the enzyme peel

the loofah soap in "Secret Garden" (was hoping for blood orange or peppermint, although it smells lovely)

I guess everyone got the same color lip stuff? I LOVE IT. The color is exactly one I would have picked out for myself and I love the strawberry smell! AND the lipstick doesn't smell lipstick-y. Glad I got two! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Well, my tracking finally updated.

Event Date Event Time Event Description Location 10/24/2012 02:41 PM In transit Elizabeth, NJ 07206 10/24/2012 06:37 AM Arrived at Shipping Facility Elizabeth, NJ 07206 10/11/2012 10:35 PM Electronic Shipping Info Received South Kearny, NJ 07032
So it sat for 2 weeks before it was even picked up. We pay $21 a month for this box, you'd think they would do better when it comes to shipping.

I was kinda disappointed too. I was hoping for Carol's for the coconut, and I bet peppermint woulda smelled awesome. Both boxes were same as yours /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My hair mist leaked too! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am going to e-mail them and ask for a replacement. I hope they can send me one.

 

[lolitam]

FYI, they've updated the site with the October contents.  So DON"T LOOK if you don't want to be spoiled!  LOL

But there are one or two items showing in the main photo that I haven't heard anyone mention getting yet.

My box was in my state on Oct 22 so hopefully it's getting to me soon!!!

I think I saw a picture early on in this thread with the body oil but it doesn't look like many people received it!

Ughhh I hope that doesn't mean I'm going to get it..

My hair mist leaked as well. I called them up and they said they would send out a replacement immediately and I should receive it within 2 weeks.

Are you serious? I would be so pissed if this was true because I doubt anyone wanted an old box. They advertised "a free fourth box". Ugh.

&I love the hair mist but it's so difficult to pump the spray. I think my pump is stuck/broken.

So I got an email back from CS the day after I had emailed them about where the f by box was and they said this:

GLOSSYBOX replied:

Yeah she's right. I contacted Glossybox because I placed an order a week or so ago for another 3 month subscription starting in November and I used the COSMO code. I was told that this means my February box will be free. I think people who used the NYSW or whatever it is received extra July boxes this month.

I know, and I think July was the weakest box yet. But yeah...if you look at the tracking they sent out for it, the reference number has 'NYFW' in it...the other, regular monthly boxes are all numbers. :/ I googled it a bit and saw a few blogs posts confirming the same thing.

I received my box yesterday. I was missing the facial peel.  Called the customer service #, but they were closed for the evening. Sent an e-mail with photos as proof that I am missing an item. I received an automatic e-mail stating it would take up to 48 hours for them to contact me because of their high e-mail volume. Grrrr!

 

[brio444]

I got my box today.  I have a new item (sorry these pictures are crap):

Instead of the moisturizer, I have a blush.  Another kryolan for glossybox shade.  





The gloss smells like childhood.  I kind of like it.  The lipstick looks kind of dark.  Now trying to figure out if the spray has silicones in it.  Anyone know?

 

[brio444]

What's weird is my new item isn't on the GB site at all?
