its funny cause that was basically what was in the box...
1 skincare - BASQ Cucumber tea eye gel
1 haircare - lavender & Peppermint shampoo
as for new makeup I'm not sure if this was new or not
1 makeup - CARGO EyeBronzer
1 makeup - KRYOLAN High gloss lip shine
1 nail item - OPI Nailpolish
it didn't have a lifestyle item I guess
but it had 5 Sample sized ERNO LASZLO Hollywood Collection of creams for the face
Everything else was a great Travel/deluxe or full sized products!

WOW that was an awesome Christmas BOX!! So far this seems to be the best of subscriptions.. (how I feel at least) I would definitely pay $21 if all the boxes are this good! They do look more experienced!Originally Posted by luckylilme /img/forum/go_quote.gif
People kill me with that it's not high end unless it's MAC huh? I like high end makeup sometimes but believe it or not I'm not all that into MAC. I have only been a member of Birchbox for about 3 months and each box makes me sad after I open it. I keep holding on for a better box but nothing good as of yet. IMO I do NOT care for the products that Beauty Army has and would rather take that money and gamble with the glossybox. Also consider the fact that Julep Maven charges $20 bucks for their box of 2 nail polishes and a something so with that being said I think the Glossybox will be worth every bit of the $21 dollars and will be happy to give it to them.
Just look at what some people got for their Christmas box :

I want to subscribe so badly, but 21 dollars would put my month subs over 100. Which is insane. But I did really enjoy the contents. Lots of mixture. Although the shampoo has sodium laureth sulfate which I dont like on my scalp. Ill use it in a body wash, but it makes my head so itchy!

Oh, fiddlesticks! Mine is in my city at my post office, but didn't get there until 11:30am today so I guess i have to wait until tomorrow. Ah well!
I'm wondering if sulfates are what make my head so itchy all the time. Don't have lice, haha, or a dry scalp, but my shampoo seems to make my hair itch more than other shampoos! It's Aussie Moist.

I'm sorry if you felt like I was being defensive, I probably should've worded myself differently because I feel like I didn't express myself in the way that I meant to. I didn't know that Glossybox's intentions were to be an international box meaning sending brands that are only international. I thought they were going to give us only American brands. When I said international I meant they are such a well established company that they are international. That probably explains why I didn't see such common brands. And I'm sorry to all for using MAC as an example, it was just the first thing that popped into my head, but I know there are better brands out there.

Sulfates dry out your hair more.. That's what daven said in a video on fawn and he's supposed to be a hair expert so I chose to listen to him lol

I was lucky to win a box but I'm sad to say that 21 bucks is too much for my grad student budget. Been trying to cut back lately...all the way down to just BB!

yeah they can definitely be contributing to dry, flaky, itchy scalp. My mom had issues with all 3 of these her entire life, learned about SLS and switched to EverPure and for the first time in her life she doesn't have any of those problems! I just realized that my favorite shampoo has Sodium Coco Sulfate which apparently is just a nice way of putting Sodium Laureth Sulfate but they are the exact same thing. Sooo. Gonna have to try something else.

My box has been sitting in nj since it was picked up on April 26, 2012, 9:34 pm. If it doesn't update does this mean it hasn't moved? Should I contact the company or maybe wait a few days. I live in NC so I think it should take less than a week to get here?

My box was here when I got home but I had to run to the dentist. BUT I just opened it omg I'm in love. ABSOLUTELY I am subscribing, and as long as they keep it like this, I will stay subscribed forever.

My status is the exact same thing - I'm in Michigan. I've been checking it a few times a day! I'm guessing it will just show up in the next couple days.

Can we cast spells and make evil eyes?Originally Posted by Auntboo /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I "hate" them all too (in a not-really kind of way). Stupid defective email addresses.... Would you care to join me in the corner where we can glower, sulk, and writhe with jealousy until the subscriptions open up?

I know lots of people do have problems with using SLS, but there are also plenty of people that can use it with no problem. If that shampoo is your favorite and you don't have itching or dryness, there is really no resson to stop using it.
