GlossyBox Subscription Box Review + Coupon – October 2016

I used the Unani Il-luminate Milk Cleanser and give me a crazy reaction, all the skin around my eyes is red an peeling. Someone else experience a reaction? I’m wondering if was something with my product or is the formula. I never ever have a reaction before 🙁

I was cleaning out a folder and found all my product cards from when I started Glossybox. Lots of comments about lack of value and lots of variations on this site, and thats everyones right to do so. While those are valid comments I noticed one thing, all of my glossyboxes for the past year have had a retail value of $53 to $79 dollars with an average in the mid $66 range. The only exception was the prestige eye cream and I only gave that a value of $49 based on amazon price, and the limited editIn boxes. For a cost of $21 this box always has double to triple value even with small sizes and variables. I don’t find much to complain about other than if I get a duplicate of something like mascara and black lineror nude colors and I give those to my hair stylist as part of my fee. Or one of my 14 nieces happily claims them. My experience with customer service while slow has always been positive. These boxes are a chance to try something new. If you get tired of it then cancel and move on to the next one, that’s what I do. I will admit I do get box envy at times regardless of which box I get of my multiple subs and even of boxes I can’t afford. I love getting monthly packages. It always feels like a holiday when I get one and there are so many to try. Happy Subscriptions to all.

Did anyone notice that in the ingredients on the Aromessence Neroli Serum sample there is no mention of Neroli oil? I compared the ingredients of my sample to the ingredients of the full size on other websites and mine are different. I’m wondering if it was just an error, or if our samples are different because they don’t want to spend the money giving out samples. I’ve looked everywhere online and no one has mentioned this and I hope someone here has an answer. Would really like to have a discussion about this.

I was really disappointed with this box. The lip cheek stuff is a runny mess and the face cleaner did nothing IMO. The ogx is $6 at Target and Walmart and I don’t think that something that can be easily and more cheaply purchased at a store like that should be included. As someone else mentioned I believe the mask was 3 years old. I was just not impressed. I was prepared to cancel and get Boxycharm but I am intrigued with next month and so I will wait. For the cost of this sub they need to step up their game. At least for me.

Boxycharm is so much better

Anyone else notice the mask was manufactured in 2013???

oh my god the Declaor smells so horrible! I have never had a product that smells so bad and so STRONG! Gross… And such a shame because I really like trying serums.
I got the Chuda sample instead of the OGX, unfortunately. Although it is 150$ for the full size, I have no use of it and for the life of me, I cannot feel/see any difference between that and the 10$ Aquaphore.

This month is a much better box in a while and I am happy. I got the mask in Lemon and other hair product from OGX. Cream cleanser is nice at this time of the year and great to receive a full-size product.

I got the Chuda cream instead of a hair product and I’m happy. I’ve used it before on my sensitive skin and it’s incredible at healing my red and painful dry spots. What’s really great is thru GB you can get $50 off of the full size on Chuda’s website. Count me in!
I really like Decleor products-usually-but the scent of the hydrating oil is too strong for me.
This is why I enjoy my Glossy Boxes so much! Items that I think I’m gonna love don’t always work out, yet there always seems to be something else that I fall in love with that I thought would be a total miss.

I got Liz’s exact box, and I am very happy with it. This was my last month, and I did the year through Gilt City. I am not sure how I feel. I have only been excited about 2-3 boxes in the past year. July had Sinful polish, as did August, with the super crappy lotion, etc., no Nuxe oil that was supposed to be “in every box”, and a very poor response from Glossybox (not my first negative customer service experience with them). However, September was pretty good, and I thought this one was very good. The facial cleanser is great, and I was in need of a new facial cleanser. The lip stuff looks good, and I am going to try the root thickener when I do my next blowout (I have fine, wavy hair that tends to go limp when I blow it out). Masks are always welcome, and I’m excited to try the oil.

So I don’t know. If there’s another deal where I can get the box for $8-$9/month, I will have a hard time deciding whether or not to subscribe again. I’m also on product overload. I dropped Birchbox and Sephora Play this summer, but I buy Target, Wal-Mart, and Amazon beauty boxes pretty much every time they’re available. I’m not sure if I should keep adding to my ever-growing stash for a full year to only get a couple of really good boxes and so-so customer service.

Also, does anyone know how to redeem Glossydots for a free box? Do I have to have a current sub? Do you just get a random past box? I don’t want to pay $21 for next month just so I can get an extra box.

this was my last glossy, and it was good, (i received the 3 spoilers the niacin spray and an apricot mask) but i want that limited box. does anyone know when i should sign up and when i should cancel. i only want next month’s box.

Got the same box, only I got a OGX caffeine root simulation treatment (full size) and my mask was an aloe vera treatment. Love that we got three full size items in one box. Also love that the lip product does double duty. I’ve gotten way into moisturizing and cleansing oils, so while I would have liked a larger sampling (mostly because I really like it!), I’ve very happy to have received it.

My Gilt City sub ends next month. While there were times I wish for (and didn’t get) some of the higher end box variations, overall, I’ve been happy with this sub. Would jump at another deal like last year’s without hesitation. For $8-9 per month, this box could not be beat!

I had purchased a 3 month subscription with a deal from August. I’ve loved all the products I’ve received from them. But this month’s box was awesome. I had practically the same box, except the mask wasn’t the brightening one. But I like the cleanser and the Decleor serum (I got one in my Beauty Fix box too). I haven’t tried the OGX product yet, but I will soon. I’m sad that my subscription has ended. However, I have tons of products from all my other boxes at the moment. 🙂 I’ve had no issues with customer service either.

Loved this months glossybox .. can’t
Complain really happy with it and the variations aren’t as significant so yay for that 🙂

I used the black paper filling as part of my Halloween decorations. Totally made it an extra fun box.

I got the same box except instead of OGX, I got Chuda hydrating cream. The container is small, but a little goes a long way. The full size is $150, so I am happy with the $15 sample. I like trying expensive products that I might not buy otherwise.
Unlike many subscribers, I’ve never had problems with their customer service. I’ve had a few problems with products, but I just take a pic of the product, showing the problem, and send it to them with a short explanation of my problem. They’re always polite and take care of the problem quickly. It usually takes about three weeks to receive my replacement product but, luckily, I’m patient.

I love love this month’s box. Awesome?

My last month with glossy box too. I got my free one and now I’m done. I like the seaphora box so much better… including the price!

I noted above you said that some have had problems with Glossybox but I’ve had none. I recall reading similar comments about Julep elsewhere, but, again, my experience has been really good. I’m lucky I guess? Either way, it’s good to get feedback from lots of places as you do here.

Thanks for all you do to keep us all informed!

The lip tint was watery – yuck! This was my last Gilt City box, but if they offer the annual deal again, I’ll take it. Willing to pay $10 a box but no more. Instead of the OGX, I got a Chuda moisturizer worth $15, so I’m pleased with that.

I got the same box I am really happy with glossy box good box this month.

I am done with glossy box. Last promotion I bought two boxes, and received one. No one from customer service will even talk to me. Either through email or phone calls.

This company is a fraud. Avoid.

I also am done with Glossybox after this month. Like you, I just wasn’t getting much personal use out of the included products.

I thought the Decleor was a perfume (smells so good) and tried it on my wrist. Then I was all confused- I can’t smell it. Lol… Duh it’s serum! It’s the perfect size for my travel bag.
I’m about at the end of my year sub & will be sad to see it go ( my beauty cabinet is too full, but I’ll be back)! I’ve had a lot of discoveries- usually at least half the box. And the box itself is so pretty/great for wrapping gifts in.

I love GB packaging but that’s about it. Even though I don’t receive this box anymore , I always look at the monthly boxes and I just never see anything I like.
