I canceled as well but if there's another 50% off promo code out there for March, I might get sucked in again

I may try doing that...or mixing it with a pink gloss to offset the brown? I was a little sad since I am a lippie lover! I too wish I would've known it was more brown than pink and it would've gone in the *gift* pile right away!

I wouldn't write off Gorjana items.
I bought a cute polkadot tote bag this past spring/summer and it's held up really well. It's roomy enough for my laptop, books and my makeup bags and still looks great.
I'm looking to buy a necklace with the coupon code we got as a gift for a friend, although I'm worried if I ship it directly to them that it will be packaged poorly or cheap-looking, which is a big concern of mine. I don't want it to show up looking like it's from Forever21 when their necklaces actually cost $60+

I ordered a bunch of stuff from there when they had that holiday hangover sale and everything was in individual jewelry pouches and Gorjana printed tissue paper in the box. I thought it was cutely wrapped.

Definitely the almost orange tint gives it a cheaper look even if I love the designs. I wouldn't buy them bc of it I got the circle necklace in sept and although you can't see it the plating must have rubbed off enough because I got hives after a couple wears. I'm very sensitive to Nickel so the underpart must be a high blend of it?

You could also put on a lipstick in the shade you like and layer it with a bit of the gloss. I know that defeats the purpose of the 2 in 1, but it's at least a way to get some use out of the gloss.

Got my box yesterday, here's my thoughts:
Sugarwish candy - meh. I don't like red hots, but I will probably decorate a red velvet cake for Valentine's this weekend with these. I won't be using the discount code, what a rip off!
GG Jewelry roll - I wonder if this is a return, because mine has a tiny oil stain inside. I just tried the zippers and though they were a bit sticky, it didn't actually get stuck. It also smells really bad. I'll use it, but definitely not worth $45.
Dial body wash - smells better than I expected, but the ingredients have me like
Face serum - excited about this! I need all the oil and moisture I can get this year. I was surprised with how tiny it is but obviously this is something to be used lightly.
Nail polish - looks nice enough but I already have at least 3 dark reds, and 2 other similar colors. I'm going to try to swap this.
Lip Duo - Like this, I saw it swatched on someone with a similar complexion and it looked really pretty.
Candle - I don't like candles, and this one doesn't smell good to me, so I will be swapping this too.
I'm canceling and may subscribe to FabFitFun, or just wait and see if another 50% off code is released for next month. No way is this box worth the full $40 to me anymore.

I just cancelled my subscription, although I'm prepaid until October (ugh!), and not five minutes later I get that survey thing they've been sending out each month about what I thought of the box. Awkward timing, haha, but I'll still let them know what I think.
ETA: I wish there was a comment box on the survey. That would be more constructive than the rating system, although I suppose any feedback we can give PS is better than nothing.

I cancelled as well. I've been subscribed for 6 months and the last couple of months have been so disappointing. The only way I'd come back is if there was a 50% off code.

Quick question . . . I didn't get the lip duo and sent them an email last Friday. Haven't heard back from them, yet. They have categories according to the issue at hand. I couldn't find a category that fit so I listed it under "other.". I'm wondering if I should have listed it under "packaging". Do you think it makes a difference?
I e-mailed them about the jewelry roll zippers being stuck/ having broken teeth and I received this response:
Hi Rachel,
Thanks for reaching out and we apologize that you received a damaged Gorjana Jewelry Roll! We are currently working with the vendor to resolve this issue for you and would like you to know that this is a high priority for us. We should have a resolution set by next week and once we do we will reach back out. Again, thank you for your patience and we do hope you have been enjoying the rest of your February box!
Best,
POPSUGAR Support
Looks like there were a LOT of people with issues. Feel kind of bad for PopSugar as it seems like G&G was just unloading some defected merchandise on them.

I also cancelled after this month's box. I got a 3 month sub before the price change and decided to give it one more month after that to see if I wanted to keep it or not. It's not that I don't like or use the items they give, it's just that I'm not excited to get them. I also was kind of annoyed that I paid full price for a box they were giving away at half price...so I'm cancelling for now. I did sign up for the next FabFitFun box and have high hopes for that one. I'm sure I will get sucked in to buying the Limited Edition boxes and will probably be jealous of everyone's boxes next month!

It does appear that way.
I did contact them about my nail polish and they're sending me a replacement so A+ for customer service in my book (so far).

Yeah, I always do feel a bit bad for subs when things like this happen, because I know they logically can't take every item out of its wrapping and check it before they send it out, and I'm sure Gorjana didn't say "Here are some jewelry rolls with big stitching and zipper problems!" when they put them in, you know? Has to be a nightmare to try to clean up these messes!

I've been subbing since September and this is my lease favorite box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The jewelry roll just feels cheap and I won't be keeping it, I was surprised because I've ordered beach bags from G&G and they were such high quality. I was most excited about the lipgloss duo and it feels like dollar-bin quality the plastic just doesn't looks that nice to me at all. It wasn't even packaged at all which I find strange. The rest of the products were just meh for me and I can't justify $40 on this box. I canceled after this box, they have just seemed to be going downhill to me, ugh sad.
