Hmm… looks like there’s definitely several box variations. I’m getting # 451. I’m fair with dry skin.

I’m getting 451 and medium/combo skin. So, it doesn’t sound like that makes the determination.

I’m also getting 451 but I’m medium with combo skin…

I would have said I’m fair with dry skin and getting box #477, but I see my profile is porcelain and I have the computer skin type match of 2YO5 (You get this number by going into Sephora and having them take digital pictures of your skin). I understand you should do this in winter & summer

Add me to the #444
Fair-medium with combo/normal skin depending on time of year. I probably have combo right now on my profile since I filled it out in winter.

Did anyone else notice the name of the new Tarte dual ended highlighter? .Gleam team. Hmmm. I’m wondering if this is just a coincidence.

I was so excited about getting off the waitlist. It is a good starter into the world of subscription boxes. I hv to say I expected more from Sephora. Their samples are true samples the bags are cute but boy the products they pick are SMALL & the variety are not that great. I dumped Birchbox and I think Sephora is next.

I think the December box was the most ‘worth it’ for me as far as including talked-about, hyped products I purchase anyway like Urban Decay all nighter setting spray, make up forever primer, & luxury dry shampoo, but recently the boxes have seemed like theres 1 exciting product with the rest being filler products or 100 pt rewards that no one would honestly get that excited about. I don’t think I would unsubscribe because I think subscription boxes are fun, but recently I’ve totally felt like I’m paying $10 once a month for 1 sample I maaayyy like.

For me personally, I’m hoping this month will be better then the last 2. I LOVE GlamGlow but I’m not sure how this will work with my on the oily side – combo skin. As long as I don’t get another BB, CC or any sort of tinted moisturizer I’ll be happy because I’m a full coverage foundation kinda gal. Oh and lip gloss….I’m amassing a collection from these boxes even though I never wear it.

And mascara. I have a whole box full of just mascara.

This doesn’t really excite me…having oily skin all my life, I tend to shy away from any product that has glow, illuminating, highlighting, gleam, shimmer or shine in the title or description :-/

I finally subscribed last night and I don’t see where it tells me what box I am getting on the site. Does it take a day or two ?

You wont see the box item number until after they charge you around the 1st-3rd of the month

So, what do you think the bag will look like with this spoiler hint? I was so impressed with Dec, Jan & Feb – and how different they look. And I can use them! I can’t imagine what March will look like. Do you think it will have sparkles? Green for St. Patrick’s? It’s too late for an Oscars theme. Any ideas?

based on the design above, I think psychedelic pink 😍

Everyone seems to love the glamglow. I’ve not joined that party yet… But hey, it is so swap friendly 😉

I can’t wait to see if they do variations on this. I like the idea of a GlamGlow type product but the super mud we got last fall broke me out and as an oily girl I would never use a shimmery moisturizer. I still have two untouched Becca primers from subs. I like the Gleam theme but I hope they have products like a powder highlight that I would actually use.

I agree. I am dry and I still prefer a powder highlight.

The masks are suppose to make you break out.They detox your face and the more you use it the less your face will break out.It happened to me as well.

Why would I want to use a product that is going to give me acne that I wouldn’t have otherwise gotten? I have worked really hard to get rid of my acne and now I am left with black heads and clogged pores. I have tried other products (like the Sephora Bubble Mask) that clear my pores without creating cystic acne. The super mud just didn’t work for me.

I know I’m in the minority but I don’t love Glamglow.
Plus I’m in holy-grail-love with La Mer (which I might have to stop eating to afford but who cares) so I don’t need a facial moisturizer right now personally.

Sephora has this 6 pack deluxe sample size for GlamGlow($45).I felt this was a good deal to try out since I wasn’t ready to commit to a 70$ facemask. I tried all of them and only liked 2 of them so I returned it.
The Gravity mask, which comes in silver and a limited edition bright blue is AMAZING and worth the hype. I felt like I had a vacuum sucking my pores. hah!
The Hydration mask worked wonders on my lips which tend to be super dry. Thankfully they have a cheaper 20$ version.
However, the others didn’t do anything for me. But It could also be my skin type!
Definitely try out the multipack if you want to try out different masks from Glamglow and you’re not ready to commit to one 70$ mask like I was!

I personally don’t get the glamglow hype. I’ve only tried their masks and out of the three I tried not a fan of any of them. At least my sister will like getting something

I wouldn’t mind getting this in my bag.. I’m just hoping they have multiple shades to send out accordingly to skin tone. I love sub boxes, but unfortunately, they tailor them to fit the “general” light to medium skin tones.. so us pale and darker skin tone ladies get left with products that don’t work for us. “Nude glow” may work for me, but I’m hoping they send out “pearl” for super fair girls (like myself) and “sun glow” for more deeper completions. Wishful thinking, right?

I haven’t gotten my Feb box either. I’m excited for the March box , there has to be a highlighter in there. I’m betting on a metallic lip too.

Well, I signed up for the waitlist FOREVER ago and finally got an email that I’m off the waitlist. Wish I could say I was more excited, but Ill definitely give it a try. March is my birthday month so I figured why the heck not! Not sure how I feel about the spoiler, Glamglow is a decent brand, just not sure I want a shimmery moisturizer. I also don’t wear foundation and I get the feeling this is meant to wear under foundation to give you a dewy look. I don’t really wanna just look shiny haha. I’m more of a hair/skin care girl so hopefully its not too makeup heavy.

maybe birchbox will be a better option for you they do more skin and hair stuff. Don’t get me wrong Sephora sends out skin and hair but birchbox’s products are mainly hair and skin at least in my boxes they were and I didn’t want that, I don’t want to be changing my skin care routine just like that because it works well for me right now. In th other hand I don’t mind having many many blushes, lipsticks, bronzers etc..

Love Glamglow!! ❤ last year when they sent the little masks out, I loved that Play box! I believe I got thirstymud in that one. Even though I wished we had gotten all of the mask variations (I know- irrational but a girl can dream!).
My mom adores the thirstymud and supermud is magic on my teen’s skin!! I haven’t tried the Glowstarter yet with fear of looking “greasy” though my own skin is dry. Hoping it’s in every box too, since it’s an early spoiler. I just received my Feb play yesterday!!! Haven’t even had a chance to properly play yet 🙂

I use to worry about looking greasy if I used highlighters or “glow” type products. Just try to keep in mind that you really are glowy, not oily looking. I have very dry skin too and I worry about extremes lol. Let yourself glow girl!

I hope this is not in every box… It’s a $7 value but I’m not excited :/
