GlossyBox Subscription Box Review – July 2015

This GlossyBox is really a big bust for me. I’m cashing in my GlossyDots and putting this subscription box in my rearview mirror. Glossybox was, for me, a real pleasure to receive. Beautiful packaging & elegant box designs made the whole unboxing process a Christmas morning delight. Now the company seems to have lost there way in the last few boxes. I’m not going to pay for disappointment anymore. Good Luck GlossyBox.

I received my second box today. This was July’s curated box with no replacements included. I must say I am a bit disappointed in this box. The anti-cellulite cream I will try however, most of these lotions are gimmicky. I love the cargo blush as I have received them in the past from Birchbox. The lipstick is more an organic version of chapstick and I will definitely use it in the future. Although I like neutrals Glossybox keeps sending me dark browns. I am a fair and blonde headed…go figure. I would love red or pink or nude but not dark brown. The lipliner was a fail. I might try it as an eyeliner although I don’t wear it much. Last month’s was excellent and it was my first Glossybox. I have read so many rave reviews about them that I hope the next months will be terrific. I love Boxycharm and Birchbox and they have yet to disappoint me. Boxycharm in comparison for the money is better than Glossybox thus far.

Just a note of caution. The Naked Organics lip balm caused a lsevere allergic reaction with me. My lips are swollen, painful and covered with blisters after using this product. I contacted Glossybox just to let them know but of course no reply.

Received my first Glossy Box today and disappointed. Great packaging and meh products. Liked the peel but could do without having to massage my face for 2-3 minutes. Not a fan of lip liner that I will never use due to the colour (red), jury is still out on the blush and cellulite cream. Chapstick smells nice but I wear lipstick/gloss all day so this won’t be rarely used. Hoping next month will be better.

This is my first box and I got everything that Liz recieved, but the lip pencil in Vera, which is like a burgundy red.

UGH, HUGE fail. All I wanted was the cargo blush. I ended up with a cheap hair conditioner. I’m so glad this 3 month sub is over. What a bunch of crap! Their alternatives don’t compare.

Did anybody else get an email link to this month’s surveys to earn Glossydots, only to get there and be told “no surveys available”? I faithfully fill those surveys out each month knowing I’ll be due one free box eventually, so I’m hoping I won’t miss out on the Dots this month. Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with. I subscribed to Glossy box around the middle of May and tried to use the BROWPOW promo code. Unfortunately it was “overused” so I didn’t receive anything. I was told I would be able to use a new promo code through the news letter but, I have never received a code in the news letter. I did see there is a new promo code for new subscribers but of course I’m not a new subscriber now. I’ve tried a few times going through customer support with emails and through f/b without any real help. Does anyone know what else I can do, or is it a lost cause?

Finally got my box (it was delivered EARLY to the new house and I didn’t get out there until tonight).

Laniege sleeping mask (I think I have another of these from somewhere), Hey Honey peel, lip balm, massive tube of anticellulite cream, and WHITE EYELINER. (Hey, at least it’s not black…)

Surprised by all the disappointment – I got almost the same box (a pink lipliner instead of brown, mascara instead the Cargo blush) and think it’s a great box!

Am I the only one who got a white eye liner instead of lip liner? Excited to try the anticellulite booster and Its nice to get a lip balm instead of a pink lip stick or gloss. I have so many of those. I got a water sleep mask which is a repeat item but all in all its not a bad box.

In six months, this was Glossybox’s first fail for me. Instead of the Cargo blush, I got the Brazilian hair cream, which I’ve already got 2 samples of from other boxes. The lip liner is a screaming red orange I’ll never wear. Anti-cellulite treatments don’t work. I don’t plan to use any of the items except maybe the lip balm and I need a new lip balm like another hole in my head. 🙂 Yeah, this one was a stinker. But there’s always next month!

Ugh, I’m so disappointed! I really wanted the blush, but instead got a protein hair mask from some odd brand in a container that reminds me of horse medicine. Oh, and of course it’s worth way less than the blush…it’s $16.99 for 35.3 oz and this is only 3.5 oz.

I won’t use a single thing this month except the peel, and I think it’s overpriced for the size. I’m allergic to peppermint so I can’t use the lip balm, my hair does not like protein and protein treatments seriously dry it out, I don’t have cellulite, and lip liner is one thing I’ve never really gotten into.

I have the exact same box as Liz with the lipliner in “Bibbi”
Happy to sell it for cost + postage. Unopened box…I just fished out the lip liner to get the colour

Has anyone had their box ship yet?

This is the one time I’m seriously disappointed! So wanted that blush but got a plumping facial mask I’ll never user instead I’m usually pretty happy with Glossybox but lately seems like Boxycharm is a better value…. I’ll give it another mo & see….
Anyone want a facial plumping mask trade?

I’m a little disappointed in this box. I have gotten Ipsy and Birchbox for almost 2 years now and decided it was time to “upgrade”. I canceled both of those and sines to Glossybox and Boxycharm decided to give it two months to see which I would like better. This box seems exactly like something I would get in an Ipsy bag. May be going with Boxycharm if next month isn’t any better…

I cancelled last month and I am so glad. I think this month is terrible. The Honey peel is nice but to me that is about it. Last month I was so disappointed, there wasn’t much in it that I cared about and one of my items was busted. I did contact them about it and since they were out of the item they let me pick another item (I chose a Beauty Blender), which in turn made my box better actually, but that was the only reason. I’m also Canadian, so the boxes cost even more for me. Seems like Glossy hasn’t been as impressive lately compared to what they used to and what is with all the sample sizes.

I am SO disappointed in my glossy box this month! I was excited to get the hey honey but they basically sent me the same box as last month. I got the exact same nail polish mini, same aloe gel, same Too Faced mascara. The only difference is a super sticky doucce lip gloss instead of the brush from last month and I got a deluxe conditioner instead of the last moisturizer. I was disappointed in my box last month and CERTAINLY don’t like it any more this month. I wish I hadn’t prepaid for this sub.

I subscribed to this for 3 months and they automatically renewed my sub for another 3 months. I emailed them but no reply. I think this is such a bad business practice. If someone just wanted to try for 3 months they would renew on their own.

I am having trouble discerning the color of that blush and can’t find it online. Is it a peachy or pinkish color? I hope it’s a pinkish color because the one I received from (I think) Birchbox was peachy.

I agree it’s going downhill. The July of from last year was INCREDIBLE. This… Not so much :'(

I am new to the monthly beauty subscriptions and I think these products look great. They are definitely higher end products .

Not entirely sure how I’m going to feel about this box, but I really enjoyed my June box, which was my first. So far it may be a hit and a miss for me. I’m subscribed month to month so I will see how August goes and if I enjoy this month’s products in the end. That said, I may be willing to trade a few items off some hands if I like the Honey mask, blush, or you get a color of the pencil you don’t enjoy that works for me. I got the swap email and need to set mine up, but if you comment here about wanting to trade I will figure out how to get it all sorted and such fast! I subscribe to Popsugar, Ipsy, BB, Glossy, Boxy for my makeup and used to subscribed to Julep so there’s a random smattering of items from all around there. Sorry if trade talk isn’t allowed here, just learning to navigate around here! I’ll set it up so those who are interested can find me there!

I had a weird GlossyBox shipping issue during June. I received the June box around the 3rd week of June then 4 days later I received a second Glossybox (it was different then the first June box). Then this weekend I received an email with tracking for the July box and when I track it it shows my July box was already received by me back in June.

It’s not my first GlossyBox (it’s my 3rd month as a subscriber) so I dunno why my July box was shipped so early. Anyone have that happen to them? Don’t get me wrong, I loved that I received my box early!

P.S. I wish we all got the same boxes! I’m having major box envy. 🙂
