GlossyBox January 2017 FULL SPOILERS + Coupon

After I received a few expired products (not naming any subsTESTTUBE!..), I try to check the dates more carefully. The Oolution has different packaging on their website, and number at the top is “21014”.
Any experts among us that can tell me if this is the batch #, the creation date, or expiration date?
If it’s the creation date, does an eye cream last 3 years? I couldn’t find the info on their website…

I got GB fantastic Black Fri deal and so I’m in for a year. I cut most of my other subs so I wouldn’t be disappointed with too much of the same thing.
I love the Jan box, just got it today. Never can enough of masks, they are my favorite and even though the only “I don’t need another” is the blush, it’s great to have one in my travel bag and another at home. Gift others to my daughters or put away since cream blush is good for 12 – 18 mon.
One thing I notice that no one has mentioned, the Glossy dots. I have accumulated dots with just doing reviews, unlike when Birchbox gave you points for reviews and buying products. I’m almost to a free box now.
Glossybox also overlapped (my fault because I was afraid I was going to lose out) my subs, so I received two Nov subs. That was ok because I gave my 22 year old the dry shampoo and my 14 year old wanted some of the other items. I got a few new things in Box 2 anyways.
When I mentioned it to Cust Serv, they kindly extended my subscription one month. So nice of them! I’ve never had issues with CS, they have sent a replacement when a serum was dried up/1/2 full. It did take a little time and I did have to gently nudge them, but otherwise all has been well.
Maybe it is just a case of someone working there messed up, maybe they were short staffed. Who knows? I wish everyone had good experiences with all their subs all the time, but you can’t please everyone and no one is perfect.

I was happy with the box this month. I got an ag hair wash instead of the seaweed skin item, but it’s a nice size for travel or extras in the shower for guests. I was really unhappy with the Dec box (I did get the perfume, but it’s underwhelming, reminded me of my first perfume as a little kid; not awful, but not worth more than $10-15 ), but I had bought a 6 month sub on sale back in Nov or Oct, so couldn’t cancel. To be fair, the boxes before (got two free with the sub first month) were pretty nice. But this month is back to where it is a nice treat again, though I think their quality is not consistent enough for the higher price. I think unless they either manage to improve inventory quality, their box will need to be almost half the price to retain customers, and not just that cost on promotion. Being the sub with the prettiest box won’t save them for much longer, and while the boxes barring Dec weren’t bad, I have no inclination to resub when my 6 months expire.

I got my glossy box today and I got almost everything above except I got AG hair care cleansing cream instead of the sea weed face stuff. This is my last box I tried to cancel this back in December and they told me per the agreement with them I would have to get this box . I’m glad I did cancel this box

I received the same box as pictured. I am ok with it, not unhappy or overly excited. At least I can use all the items. Last month, I got the broken lipstick and no perfume. I was pretty underwhelmed, but didn’t contact customer service as I didn’t like the color of lipstick and didn’t need another one of the same. Anyway, this is my last box with the year-long much talked about Gilt voucher. I am going to redeem Glossydots for February box and I will be done.

I received the box pictured above. FWIW, mine had a little on the outside of the shipping box indicating it was variant “2.”

This is the last box of a year long sub. I wouldn’t re-subscribe, unless they really up their game in terms of the brands they contract with, make their box variations equitable, and get a customer service response time that doesn’t rival the Pony Express. I know some people here posted that they received phone calls last month, after their annual sub expired, encouraging them to renew. I am very much hoping I get such a call this month…

While I won’t renew, I am currently sitting on close to 3,000 glossydots, and I would like to use those up – so pending the outcome of that CS interaction, I’m not completely out of the glossy game — yet.

One thing to be aware of is that Glossybox RARELY sends full size items. The info card is misleading because it always lists full size info, so you think you are getting full size products, but that is not the case. When I subscribed, I usually ended up swapping most of my Glossybox things because they were not useful. Most of the swappers (who were also trying to unload their useless Glossybox stuff) would overestimate the value of their items because they were tricked by the company into thinking they were full size when in fact they were not.

My takeaway–any sub is better than Glossybox. My current favorite is Goodbeing. They are at the same price point and often send skincare with just one makeup item so I never feel overloaded, and I can feel good about using products that are more natural and healthy while still being amazingly effective.

Just got my January 2017 Glossybox. I was underwhelmed to say the least. Guess I’ll have to try the products out, but right now I’m not impressed.

I received the exact same box and am reasonably happy with the contents! I like to get a diversity of skincare products and would rather have this scrubber and eye cream than makeup products I won’t use. However, the secret flush really does smell great and is a wearable color for me!

Super stoked, I love Glossybox. The boxes themselves and the mix of products, not to mention full size and so much skincare 🙂 I have enough makeup from other subs to last me into old age. I’ve interacted with Cust service several times in the past 2 years and they always respond to my emails in 2-3 days and have never hassled me about sending a replacement item if that’s what I was asking for. Totally happy to have re-subbed for the year!

Both my neighbor and I got this exact box ( she usually gets one piece different) and I can speak for both of us and say we are happy with the January box.
The Secret Flush Duo smells awesome and is so pretty, and the OOLUTION Eye Contour is mostly organic and is very different from my average hoard of eye creams because this will work on my puffiness & dark circles.
That Marine Night Therapy is rumored to be a twin for that other fancy, expensive brand of seaweed based skincare- so I’m thrilled to have a chance to try it out. And the company is Austin, Texas based!

I want to try boutique brands of makeup, face creams from small, independent companies and imports that otherwise I’d never know about.
Some months for me are crummy, and some are great but even after 2 years I’m not anywhere near ready to quit.

I’ve been trying to decide if I should give Glossy Box a try or even Birch Box. I cancelled I Ipsy because every month they were sending me black liquid eyeliner, black mascara, and some sort of brush even though I had unchecked mascara, eyeliner and brushes on my profile it was very easy to cancel. Boxy Charm I thought about canceling too I’m in makeup overload and this month’s box looks terrible. I still get Sephora Play and Allure but I am happy with them. I have heard people mention how bad customer service is with Glossy Box so I’m on the fence if I should give it a try…what do you all think I should try Glossy Box or Birch Box I appreciate any feedback you all could give

I unsubcribed to glossy box for awhile because I was unhappy with the products. I subscribe to it again this month and I actually am excited about this box. I am looking forward to seeing the products when they arrive.

Years ago this was my first subscription – great items then from SKII, Lancer, really high end items, etc. I was faithful for 18 months then let it go. Got back in early 2016. Just cancelled again yesterday this will be my last box and I will NOT be seduced again.

Wow! I hope I get this box. Dec. was a big “miss” for me. I know lots of people love makeup but I’d rather have skincare, body and hair products. And I’m willing to try every eye cream out there. I just re-subbed for GB in Nov with a black Friday deal. I hope it’s a good 2017 for everyone!!!

I would be happy with this box.

I received the same box today and I actually really loved it.

I got a larger size of the scrubber in a goodbeing box. For me the scrubber side was too exfoliating so I just used the soft side as an exfoliater, but even that side was kind of rough on my skin. It’s too bad because I was really excited when I got it.

This was my worst sub decision ever, and I have many months to go. 🙁

I Wish I could cancel, but my bestie gifted the subscription. I can’t tell you how much I loath what I get in it each month. I usually throw it on the break table at work.

I got all of the above except for the Seaweed Bath Co. Night Therapy. Instead I received AG Hair Cleansing Cream Foam-Free Hair Wash.

I just got January box today.
I got AG Hair Cleansing Cream Foam-Free Hair Wash 2oz ($24 for 12oz) instead of The Seaweed Bath Co Restoring Marine Night Therapy ($ 49 for 2oz). I prefer skin care than shampoo but oh well…
I really do like Theorie de Volcans Mask Scrub(full size). I tried it today and It made my skin really soft and smooth and also hydrated. I love it!!!

I left a comment earlier this week (Jan 2) on the Dec 13th Glossybox oOlution eye cream spoiler post, with spoilers for a different box variation. It’s mostly the same, except instead of the Seaweed Bath Co night therapy, there’s a deluxe sample of AG hair cleansing cream.

Looks like my year long sub ends with a whimper.

Time to cancel and move on to boxycharm!!!

It’s so cool to see my picture and box here–thank you Liz! I’m excited to try all of these products. I’m also very curious what other people received and what their opinions are. Happy New Year everyone!
