GlossyBox Subscription Box Review + Coupon – February 2016

I finally got my box today, almost two weeks later than the shipping email said I’d get it. It was really light and looked like they forgot something. But since I only paid $8 for it, I’m not complaining. I would be disappointed if I’d pay $21. The lipstick color looks interesting, I can’t decide if I want to try it or swap it.

I just got my box today, and feel pretty neutral about it. If I had paid the full $20 I probably would have been disappointed. Pretty solid mix of products, and the eye roller is pretty neat. I would have rather have gotten a sample of the lipstick, and either a larger pore primer or something a little better than a sheet mask, since lip stick colors are less likely to work for everyone. I’m not sure if it works for me yet: berry lips with red/orange hair might be a little too bold for me.

Can anyone help me with the ingredients on the Caviar eye gel? I have allergies and really need to know. Unfortunately I am allergic to the other 4 products this month so am hoping I can use this…

When I opened my box (didn’t look at spoilers) I thought, Oh no they forgot to add a few things. Nope. All there. Everything but the mask was hiding under the white confetti packing. That’s how small it all is. The box looked empty. That is kind of how I feel about this month. Empty. Looks like something you would get as a free with purchase from Ulta. At least the beautiful box gives me joy:)

I just opened my first Glossybox. I got the exact same box that was reviewed.
The eye gel saved it for me. The porefessional is really small. I won’t use the lipstick it’s too dark and I don’t wear red.
I think I’m going to cancel and give boxycharm a try next month.

I cancelled my glossy 5 months ago and i’m so glad I did. Look at this box… just like all the recent months – sample sizes. And not to mention they give out a GlamGlow sample product practically every other box. I know for a fact that Glossy gets these tiny samples for free since more than one item I’ve received from them has said “Sample, not for sale.” A year ago they used to be high class and send out great big items but not anymore

I am torn between adding this box or Boxycharm or the LF box out of the UK. I know a lot of people got this one with a really good coupon code from Gilt City. I am waiting for that, a good coupon might make my decision easier. I have to say I got one of the past boxes that were on sale for $15 not too long ago and an item arrived broken. Their customer service was excellent. I emailed about the problem. They were out of the broken item but offered a long list of items to choose from, one of which was the coveted Trust Fund nail polish. So they shipped me a $15 nail polish to cover a broken item out of a box I only paid $15 for to begin with. I was very pleased at how smoothly they handled my issue.

Glossy box is a great box, I enjoyed it while I was getting it, but I started getting tired for the same samples over and over so I went online and requested to cancel. Much to my surprise, I still got charged for this month! Upon emailing glossy box, they say that their policy is to not cancel your next month’s box unless you do so before the 14th of the month prior (regardless of if they have charged you or not). Their customer service is so cold and unhelpful (you agreed to the terms of service; we have no obligation to help you), I will never sign back up.

I know a lot of people use mysubscriptionaddiction to decide whether or not to pick a box, I really think you guys should highlight this “feature” of it taking two months to cancel in your reviews.

I love Glossybox. I am never disappointed. Their boxes are usually worth at least three times the $21.00 price. They offer a broad range of skin care, makeup and hair care in amazing packaging every month. What’s not to love? As for being comparing to Birchbox and Ipsy, one of my most recent Birchboxes barely made it to $18 in value and Ipsy was about $24. I think they are both on my chopping block.

I just got my box (the exact same as Liz’s). I like the GlamGlow but it’s so small, and my favorite item is the eye roller (but again, not full size). The Teez lipstick color isn’t flattering for me, the Benefit sample is tiny, and I have a million sheet masks I haven’t used yet.

I wouldn’t pay full price for this box unless they improve a lot. So far, it just seems to be going downhill.

i stopped by glossy a few months back because I was dissapointed in the boxes and value but i love my boxy and beautyfix. Always have great products.

Are Glossydots redeemable? I have over 1000 points and can’t figure out how or where to redeem????

I love that lipstick color and Tweez has great packaging. Looks like a great mix of products. Looking forward to getting mine! Glossybox continues to be one of my favorite subs.

I’m a little disappointed. I quit Birchbox (which I loved) and Ipsy (which was ehhh for me…and I gave it 14 months) because I was overrun with sample sizes. I took up Glossybox through a lifetime lock-in price and Boxycharm instead. The first couple Glossy’s were great, but I feel like they are going to smaller and smaller items overall. I still have tons of little samples. I like the full size and deluxe sample items better. That’s what several people told me Glossy would be like…it seems to be slipping fast for me. I’ll use the items, I LOVE those masks, and I am excited about the eye roller…hope it is in my box. I’m going on vacation in a month, so I would restock my travel kit with some of this box, but otherwise, it is just mediocre for me.

I do hope that GlossyBox reps read my review and other reviews posted about the downhill slide of their boxes. I was subscribed to Glossybox before, and due to financial reasons, I had to unsubscribe. The boxes were amazing, and they always offered new and undiscovered products. I was supper excited to sign on with my Gilt coupon, because it made the box more within my budget. However, I have noticed, that the boxes are less cohesive and seem to be filled with whatever products the company was able to swag from companies. I am unsure if the company is in trouble or perhaps it’s the new CEO who is making these decisions; however, the boxes are not exciting as they used to be. Despite their high value, these boxes are still $21 dollars for those people who did not get the gilt coupon, and I do notice many people saying that they are canceling their membership. I am locked in my yearly subscription, but I can tell you that unless you fix this issue, many of us will not renew. Okay, this was my opinion, and now for the review. Last month, we received a bunch of lotions, and a very poor quality lip product that highlights all of your flaws, and the color was absolutely inappropriate for winter. Who send peach pastel color for wintertime? If you want to remain neutral, then send us a beige at least. Then, the box was filled with lotions. This month, the box has a deluxe sample of a primer that has been circulating for many years, and there is nothing new about this product. But, my main problem is, the box has nothing to do with valentine’s day. Just because there is a red lipstick, it does not mean that the box is appropriate for valentine’s day. It just does not seem to be cohesive, as your boxes were before. Is the box horrible? Certainly not, but the boxes are just not what they were.

The box is beautiful but the products are just ok. I thought it was going to be a Valentine’s theme box, like last year but not at all. Glossybox keeps getting worse. This will be my last month. Boxycharm is so much better.

I’ve been subscribing to lots of boxes over the last 2 years and have managed to never get the porefessional sample. Even though it looks tiny, I’m so happy it’s finally in a box for me! I just resubbed to glossybox with the gilt city deal, I think it was a good call.

what a lackluster box. So disappointed with this month’s box.

Glossybox is usually my fave box. But I’m not enthralled by this one. If I could have received a stick perfume I’d have been happier…but it’s only for new subscribers. Sad and disappointed.

I’ve gotten every one of these items in the same sizes, except for the eye gel, in either an Ipsy bag or a Birchbox, both of which are $10. They are good products (except for the lipstick) but I don’t see twice the value of the other subs and certainly not anything fresh or new.

I love the box, I wanted to use my glossy dot to get an extra , but was told I couldn’t . Extremely disappointed as I have yet been able to use them to get a box I wanted.

I need to get the T Swift/Gwen Stafani look down I guess with all the red lip flair that goes around 🙂
I will use (try to pull off the red) everything in this box and appreciate the mix and quality of brands found in the curation. I guess I hyped myself up with valentine’s and girly gifts so i figured i would definantly see an ‘extra’ so that’s entirely my fault haha. A gourmet chocolate would have rang my bell on this box 😉 or even a small piece of jewelry with a cute cloud with the whole ‘in the air’ theme. It feels like the hubby took me out to a fabulous dinner but forgot the flowers. We women are a hard crowd to please aren’t we?! I still do appreciate this month’s products and box.

I love the tone of that lipstick! I have enough red lipstick to last me to eternity, but I love trying new ones 🙂

But I *literally* just bought a pack of three of these sheet masks (Cucumber Breeze Soothing Fiber) yesterday from Birchbox.

Hopefully I’ll get both of these items!

I’m looking forward to this one…wow, what a beautiful box for February! The products may not be as thrilling to some but everything in this box would get used by me….hoping I get the same as you Liz! Taking advantage of the Gilt City deal makes this one under 9 bucks….cheaper than Birchbox and Ipsy….in my opinion a big win!

Not excited at all for this. Like others have said – it definitely feels like something is missing. Also, I’m pretty tired of getting dark or red lip colors in my sub boxes. I’m more of a nude, pink or coral girl, so this one will be added to the swap site. If I had paid full-price for this box, I would be annoyed enough to cancel immediately (mostly because of the skimpiness of the items). I have a couple more months on my Gilt deal, and I’m heavily leaning towards not re-subbing.
