GlossyBox Subscription Box Review – June 2015

Goes to show you how different everyone is: except for my first two months of GlossyBox having some late shipping issues, I haven’t had any other issues with them at all. It is probably my favorite subscription (at least the ones for myself. I really love the ones I got for my fiance as well! Bespoke Post and The Kinder Box).

Even the stuff that – at first glance – I didn’t think I’d like in the GlossyBox has become my favorites. This month I received it very early to my surprise. Had that gorgeous make-up brush, the little aloe source jar, the mascara which I love, the Etre Bell aloe thing, and the nail polish (which I usually hate getting since I also am a Jamberry Independent Consultant but it is nice to have a mini!). Haven’t tried the aloe stuff yet but everything else is amazing as is every other thing I’ve ever gotten from them. Well, except the bag in my pop art box… that was stained.

My box contained a different brand of lip gloss (no plumping, collagen or peptides) worth $22 instead of $40 (not shown on the variations photo), the bottle of conditioner instead of a product from Aloe Source and a dark fall color nail polish- plus the aloe and mascara sample. I would have loved to try the Aloe Source products and the higher end plumping gloss- hopefully I can try to swap for them!

Why yes, yes I did receive a Aloe Source in my June Glossy Box and guess what? It was empty!! So no need to use your coupon because I didn’t get a chance to use your product and decide if I like it. Oh, and Glossy Box said it will take a month to receive a replacement for said empty jar.

My Aloe Source was SEVERELY dehydrated/evaporated and had almost like little round beads in it that were visible because the creme part was so thickened. I felt like something was “off” with it as soon as I opened it up and I KNEW I should have taken pictures and complained to them. I didn’t really want to mess with it but I know I should have.

I got the same box as Liz only a nice brush instead of the lip plumper. I will use the aloe gel and probably keep the polish (mine is nude), dumped the Aloe Source, love the brush, and swap the Better Than Sex. I also got the brow pencil from the promo.

I already cancelled but of course it wasn’t in time so I have another box coming.

After almost a week, I received an email to either wait a month for a new aloe source jar or pick a replacement (chose replacement) and for the IT cosmetic, I had to also pick a replacement. Which doesn’t come near the $24 value of the pencil which is why I signed up. Why promote a free brow pencil if your not gonna honor it!! I’ll be surprised if I even receive anything.

I cancelled as well, which has been ignored. So I’m assuming I’ll get billed for July now.

I actually liked my Glossybox this month! Everything I got was the same except for the lip plumper, which I’m not upset about. Instead I recieved a Doucce Kabuki brush, it’s really nice. I Got the lipstick last month and I’m really liking this brand. I loved the mascara of course and the nail polish was gorgeous, I got the same color.

Not a fan. Has anyone else noticed Glossybox has been making a slow decline lately? I looked back over the old reviews from last years boxes and some of those were incredibly impressive. Just amazing (the Bergdorf’s one made the entire year worth it to me). And these days I am beyond disappointed. I got the Nexxus color conditioner. I don’t color my hair. Also, the card didn’t have the nexxus on it but instead said I got the aloe cream. I wanted the cream. I signed up with Glossybox expecting luxury items, not drugstore items. I emailed them and their response was basically that that’s how it goes. Not satisfied.

I may be in the minority but I love Glossy Box…. I discover new products and try things I didn’t really know existed. If I don’t use everything in a box it’s great for swapping or for gifts. Both the hair salon and nail salon I use love them when I show up with goodie bags.
Re the lip plumper — mine is clear which is great as you can use it with any lipstick

This was the worst box I have yet to receive. I got the nexxus conditioner, which I won’t use, the lip plumping gloss in clear, which barely shins, the ugliest beige color nail polish, the aloe vera body gel which I don’t need and the mascara.

Just got my box, got the nexxus conditioner- won’t use it, aloe gel everyone got-I’ll try it, orly red nail polish, city lips In a funky purple color I wasn’t sure about until I put it on and I have to say I love it!, BTS mascara love it. Must say I love it!

I’m really disappointed with this month. I got the same box but with a stupid brush that I already tossed in the trash.
The product samples are really tiny and 2 aloe Vera products? Give me a break.
Really glossy box? You couldn’t include a FULL SIZE $8.00 nail polish???
I don’t even know what I’m paying for these days cas it ain’t worth it anymore…..

I received my June box yesterday and it was different than the one reviewed. In my box I got Rich Hair Care Pure Luxury Intense Moisture Shampoo, Douccee Blush Brush (I love getting different brushes!), the Aloe Gel, Orly Lola and Too Faced Mascara. I would have liked the lip plumper instead of the Orly but I’m not complaining. I kind of like my box and I look forward to the July box. 🙂

I signed up to get the brow pencil free and used the code and alas, it was not in my first box. Upsetting. Emailed their customer service but it looks like a solid 3 day wait for a response. The box I got was okay, I soooooo wanted to try that mascara but wash’t too excited for much else so decided to cancel…need that brow pencil though! lol

Glossybox was a big fat fail this month for me. I never even considered cancelling my Glossybox until now…and I’m pretty sure I’m going to. My jar of aloe cream had all the lettering scraped off of it and literally 1/8 of a teaspoon of product in it. Nothing spilled out…there just want any in the product and my jar looked like it came from the bottom of a throw away bin. This was not your standard Glossybox at all and I hope they go back to normal next month otherwise I’m cancelling.

anyone have experience with emailing Glossy Box? How long does a response take?

I had an empty jar of Aloe Source and they didn’t send me my free IT cosmetics for signing up.

Wow. What a first time box.

My box was 100% different. I got City Cosmetics CC cream, Ardency Inn eye shadow in black that I definitely won’t use (black is way too aggressive for cream eye shadow), hot pink Julep nail polish, Skin Nutrition Cell-CPR, and Toni & Guy Texturizing Spray. Maybe this is one of the normal boxes that they send for new subscribers if the monthly ones run out.

I got the same box except Nexxus conditioner instead of the aloe face cream, which is fine because I *always* need conditioner and Nexxus is a pretty good brand. I like mini nail polish because I never go thru a full bottle anyway and I love reds, so glad I got that shade. I don’t really care for the BTS mascara — adds volume, sure, but flakes like crazy, and this is my 3rd deluxe mini, but oh well, I’ll use it or give it away. The gel moisturizer looks interesting. I like lip plumpers if they work, so will give this one a go. Overall, happy with my box.

I received my box today and I’m a little bummed about two of the items, especially since I’ve had such great luck with Glossybox in the past. I got the blush brush and I don’t use blush at all. I also got a shampoo that’s not listed as one of the possible variations in the spoilers – Rich Hair Care Pure Luxury Intense Moisture Shampoo. It says that the 2.7 oz is full size and the value is $3.99. I had previously gotten the Nexxus Shampoo so I was expecting to get the matching conditioner instead of another shampoo. I keep up with the Glossydots surveys and have never indicated that I use blush or even that I want tools/accessories, and I always answer that I want lip products so that’s why I’m disappointed by the selection. (If anyone wants to trade for the brush, let me know. I haven’t ever used the swap so I might give that a try.) Despite the inexpensive shampoo the box has a decent value and from reading reviews of other boxes I still think Glossy is one of the best. I’m hopeful that the next box will be better.

just received my first Glossy box and the Aloe Source jar was empty AND I signed up with the coupon code Browpow and didn’t receive my IT cosmetics brow pencil. Very disappointed.

I emailed them…how are they at emailing or do I have to call? I think this is my first and last month.

This box as a complete waste for me. for $4 more glad i tried Beautyfix & this was my last month with glossy

Mine arrived today – very early for GB! I got the same as Liz except boring conditioner instead of cool antioxidant creme.

I like Orly but I got beige, and I don’t like the lippie, so this is a meh box for me. Not bad, but not great. It’s the last of my 6 month black friday sub so I don’t mind cancelling at all. Phew!

I subscribed to Glossybox 17th of May, and received my first Glossybox on June 5th. None of the items in my box match either the May or June products listed on the website or in any of the review blogs.. I am still mostly happy with the products I received ( I did get two I didn’t like at all) but I’m just curious if you know why my box is so different to the ones they advertise on their website or the one you received? I know there’s supposed to be some variations, so do you think this is normal? I would like to review the products but I can’t even find them on their website 🙂

Bought am annual subscription with the MEMORIAL DAY weekend coupon, and SO glad I did. Each box comes out to $14.80 and anything I won’t use/don’t like will go up for swap or get gifted. Yay!

Can’t wait to finally try better than sex mascara!! Yipie!!!
