HAHA nice. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It probably wouldn't hurt if they let ONE little old item out as a spoiler... that way folks could have their spoiler fix, but we could still be surprised about the rest of the box. I like the idea of having a theme for the boxes, but the contents don't really seem to fit a theme, in my opinion. Maybe the Pure Luxury theme was the most appropriate fit. Maybe themes should be more specific like "multitasking" or "all about eyes" or something? Spa theme seems like it could be anything... (if we got rocks in our box, at least we could sing the Decemberists song "Rox in the Box" while using them? Well, I would...) I definitely could see a facial mask included in a spa theme. Any skincare (face and body) really seems like it could fit. That heel cream we got a few boxes back would be appropriate, too. I could see nail polish included as well... wait, now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure I saw something about OPI polish on GB's facebook page this week. I love OPI, and despite rarely using nail polish, I would be thrilled to receive an OPI polish in my box. Now I feel like actually going to the spa and having a mani/pedi...

(Then again, they did have OPI in May, so maybe it was just a general product reference and not a spoiler.)

I saw that! The James Bond collection! If it's in the box at least I know I won't get another Taint color... lol

Just a heads up:  if you purchase a 3 month deal (which I did) then after the 3 months, your subscription is over unless you renew it.  I actually called to cancel Glossybox after this month and Nicole said I didn't need to as it automatically expired and didn't renew. 

Good to know. I was trying to cancel mine early just so I don't forget because I want to switch back to the month to month after mines up and there was no way to cancel. I only went to 3 month because there was a code to get a 4th box for free.

Are there any current subscription discount codes?

I would be so thrilled to get one of the opi bond polishes!

Any update on when they're gonna ship the boxes? I hate not knowing.

Plus facebook is no help cause i cant see what others are posting on the wall, like they purposely dont want us to see what others are saying

The only one I've seen lately is KISS for a free lipstick with a monthly sub. It expires 10/31

ETA: Here's the retailmenot ones you could try http://www.retailmenot.com/s/glossybox

I got 10% off my first box when I signed up initially. Theres a few others that might be working and worth checking.

Two things: (1) no real hints is hard! and (2) I really do love Glossybox.  I hate that they can't seem to match anything with my profile, but they keep fixing it. September they sent me (superpale) the Missha in a really dark color (#27, I think).  I traded it, so no biggie, but I called to try to figure out why my boxes seem to not match my profile at all.  I moved into my new apartment yesterday - having updated my GB address as soon as we signed the lease so as to not end up in box limbo - and there was a package from GB waiting for me, with #13 in it.  Totally didn't expect that, and it makes me love them more. 

Right now, GB is totally blowing Birchbox out of the water for me, even at double the cost. GB is worth way more than 2 Birchboxes.

and still no surveys?  Have we heard anything about that?

Yes actually. Someone asked about that on their facebook and gb commented back saying they would be available sometime this week.

Totally, totally agree!

If Glossy is sticking with their "bill the second week of the month, ship the third" program, we should hopefully get shipping notices this week. Fingers crossed!

I got my first Glossybox today.  I was surprised because everything I read led me to believe I wouldn't get it until the end of the month.

I got a Glossybox today too!  I signed up with the NYFW coupon code for 4 boxes for the price of 3 in September.  I thought they meant I would get a 4 month subscription, until December, but apparently it the 4th box meant the July one.  I mean, it's a nice surprise but the July one is not the best out of the bunch.  Guess I'll have to re-subscribe come September.

What I got.
