GlossyBox Review – October 2013

I have to say that GlossyBox keeps stepping up their game! I was over-the-moon thrilled with the September box, and again with this box! There were one or two items that weren’t for me, but the mascara and lip gloss made my day, making everything else in the box a bonus! I can’t wait to see what comes in the holiday box! I’ve tried many of the beauty boxes and Glossybox is by far the best! They also have awesome customer service! One month I was missing an item from my box that I was excited to try. I emailed Glossybox and they not only quickly shipped the missing item, but also a full size OPI nail polish in a purple sand shade. I wondered if they were psychic or just lucky as I am a polish addict and purple is my favorite color! If you are on the fence about trying Glossybox, go ahead and try them out!

I have been a subscriber to glossy box since Febuary and of course there is normally at least one item I’m not overly thrilled with but over all I love this box! I’m subscribed to a good bit of boxes and this is one of my favorites. My only problem is that here it is the end of the month and I still haven’t received my box. I checked on it this morning and it is finally shipping but this is getting ridiculous. Last months box didn’t arrive until the beginning of this month. I just hope they get back on track with these.

I am fairly disappointed at the moment (although that may change). I finally decided to bite the bullet and subscribe to a couple of boxes. I chose Glossybox and Sample Society. I subbed on the 11th of October and Sample Society showed that I was too late for October and my boxes would start in November. However, I was super excited that I was scheduled to get October’s Glossybox. I actually tried to keep away from most of the spoilers, but, at this point, most people have their box already and it was unavoidable. My box is still listed in the “pack” stage, which I find ridiculous.

I guess I’m disappointed that there is such a huge range of shipping times and I seem to be in the minority, having not received mine yet (or at least a shipping confirmation). I don’t get why Glossybox thinks it’s okay for people to receive an October box in November or why they’re happy to take your money in the beginning of the month only to not send out product until the beginning of the next month.

I really hope I’m so impressed when I see this in person that this won’t matter anymore, but I’m guessing I’ll just find a different box to sub to in exchange for this one.

Did anyone else get the extra mascara tip/brush with their mascara? What do we do with it? Are the tips/brushes interchangeable? It was inside of the paper/box that the mascara was in.

I love Glossybox…I kind of went crazy with boxes since July. I’m paring things down…I am keeping Glossy, PopSugar, BeSpoke, some Mantry, Ipsy and some Ellie. If I ever get Yuzen, I might keep it too.

Otherwise no more for me. The fresh food ones were really nice but I could not get my schedule adjusted to fix everything before it went to waste. I may try them again next summer because the proportions and convenience were exceptional especially Plated and Blue Apron.

I got mine in the mail today and I was excited to open it. It’s my first box and I split the cost/items in the box with a friend, which worked out perfectly. She particularly wanted the lip salve and exfoliating serum and I wanted the mascara and perfume; I ended up keeping the fresh cream as well. I intend to keep this subscription.

I got the same box. I like it, but I like the past two months better then this box.I have so many mascara samples. I like the mask and the face cream. The lipgloss is really nice too.

This is exactly what I got in mine and it is my favorite to date! I love everything in it! the mascara is amazing…ok really everything in this box was amazing!

I liked the last two months’ boxes better, but am happy with this one. I got a kick out of the mascara’s weird, gushy tube! I really prefer makeup to other things like moisturizer and exfoliator, etc. I have too many of those bitty samples!

I really, really hope I got the Exfoliating Gel. Do you know if you get either the mask or the gel according to the settings you use on your beauty profile with them?
Either way, I can’t wait to receive my box! 🙂

How do you determine the price value? do you just do it based off of full sized products? (:

Wow!!! This box is making me want to sign up again!
