GLOSSYBOX Subscription Box Review & Coupon Code – May 2013

Btw, you wrote ‘slot it’ instead of ‘slow it’ =) I tried the mask and it was super creepy to pull out of the bag and unfold. It felt like an alien egg pouch or something haha! But it was alright, it didn’t dry out after like 15 mins. Probably won’t end up buying it since it didn’t seem like it did much. I love your blog, keep it up!!

I really thought this months box would be special since it’s their anniversary, but I was really disappointed. None of the products/samples in this months box were anything special to me. Hopefully the June box will be better.

This is my first Glossybox and I really liked it! I get ipsy, but like that these products feel like a “treat” for me. I didn’t get the same products though. I got the perfume stick, mask, 2 european wax samples and volupt spray, but then I got an eyeliner & sharpener which I will definitely use. I love the smell of my perfume (Chelsea) and am eager to get my brows waxed for free with the coupon at my local center. Anyway, I have nothing to compare it to other than ipsy and I will continue it another month for sure.

My box was horrible! I wish they had a more complete survey so that they could better match products to us. My perfume gave me a headache through the package, the box, and the shipping container. I made the mistake of signing up for a six month subscription, and now I am afraid I will keep paying for only one product I can use per box (spray gel this time). I love ipsy, and wanted to try something new–big mistake.

I happened to sign up for ipsy when I saw a coupon code for glossybox as after reading the reviews I decided to try both. I noticed perspective is key in the reviews and comments and location plays a part. I realllllly dislike the European wax “coupon” that is their standard promotion. You don’t need a coupon for that deal just need to be a first time customer and I am not so that was a total waste. In comparison since both ipsy and glossybox are my first boxes if it wasn’t for the coupon code of glossybox I would say the box is overpriced and Ipsy is the way better deal, guess we will see in the months going forward.

I got the same box! Really happy about this month’s box ! I love love love these masks! They’re amazing, I have been using them for years – you’ve got to give them a try!

I loved my box this month. The powder is a good match to my skin and the perfume stick smells great.

This is going to my first box, I hope my mine has some different things in there. That powder would be an epic waste on me if I got a dark shade (I’m super pale).

I cancelled Glossybox. I was getting four boxes, and cut it back to just Birchbox and Julep (and skipping Julep this month) both for budget and because I just have too many teeny products right now. 🙂 The Glossybox value is always pretty good, but their website doesn’t work well, their customer service response is abysmal – I had to email them twice and complain publicly on Facebook before they responded to an email – and I don’t like that you can’t get the full size products directly from them.

I got the exact same box. However, my shade (208-Amber Gold) was also (WAY) too dark, but no amount of tanning will make that shade work for me (I’m very fair-skinned). I am going to call to see what can be done. I have to say this is the most underwhelmed I’ve ever been with a glossy box. (I’ve been a subscriber for almost the full year.) The closest Wax Center is over an hour and a half away, so that doesn’t count to the value for me. I have so many primers and mattifiers from subscription boxes. My hair is very straight and doesn’t hold curl, so the spray gel is not for me. The only thing that I liked in the box was the perfume; which I really do love. But the overall value for the box in terms of use of the items for me was no where near the $21. I normally love Glossy Box, so I don’t want to complain but… Ipsy was so much better this month for half the cost.
