Man! I am praying that they don’t sell out of this Le box before I get my check. I live on a fixed income and i don’t get my dis until the 3rd of every month. I couldn’t afford these brands full sized and it will be a very nice gift to me if it holds out 4 me long enough! Please Lord hold it for me! 😂😂😐😔😍🤗🙏🖐

Do we think the GlamGlow product will be a mask? If so, do we think it would be a trial size or the full size? I have had my eyes on the SUPERMUD mask but am scared of buying it for $69…. if it will be in this box I may just have to get it for $40!

I’ve been a Glossybox subscriber for 5 years, I didn’t get an email regarding this and when I went to the site the coupon code didn’t work even though I was logged into my account. Anyone else have this happen? GlossyBox is the most frustrating subscription box I have ever had and when this subscription period is up I’m done with it all.

I just canceled my original order from yesterday and reordered using the new code. It’s funny that the email I received this morning states that the LE box is only available to current subscribers today. And available to all starting Nov. 12th, when many of us purchased it yesterday. I have yet to be disappointed in any of GB LE boxes. I’m looking forward to receiving it. But then I like GB most of the time, unlike many it seems.

For GB subscribers an email was sent offering a $5.00 discount on preorder and I signed up. In the email it shows the brand labels that will be included in this holiday box. Buxom, NCLA, Skinn, Sunday Riley, Nest, GlamGlow, and DHC are what is included in this box. GB Holiday boxes are fantastic with the exception of last years. I have bought their Holiday LE’s previous to last year’s and have yet to be disappointed.

I guess the email was sent to current subscribers I had two Glossybox accounts one set up for my best friend and mine. Her’s isn’t active and the email says their giving subscribers the first 24 hours to order.
Although we know people that weren’t current subscribers preordered this box already.

It was easy to cancel yesterday’s order online. Just click on the order and it gives you a button to cancel, then reorder. But you can only get the discount on one box. I wanted two. Maybe they learned something from Boxy.

When canceling, does it instantly credit any reward credits back to your account, so you can reapply it to the new order with the $5 discount?

After going back and forth I finally decided to order. I was able to grab the rituals box yesterday for free with my credit and still had $7 to use on this box (spent $35 for both boxes). Of course I found a way to rationalize ordering. I have a weakness for the limited edition mystery type boxes.

Is the rituals box still available on their site because I don’t see it?? Also how did u grab. It for free???

Missy
Oh never mind I actually hadn’t been to their site since they redid it!

I’ve not tried any of these brands so super excited to get this, and I love NEST candles…..wish it was shipping sooner! 😍❤

I’m bummed there’s no discount for subscribers. I used what little credit I had to get the Rituals box for almost nothing earlier. But I also have a current sub thru December so I was hoping for a discount. I’m going to hold put for awhile and see if a coupon or subscriber perk pops up like before…

I have a question on this box. For those that have ordered this holiday box, was your credit card immediately charged? After the Boxycharm nightmare, I am just trying to confirm if I order a box, when does my credit card get charged, etc.

This is a preorder so it will bill on December 1st when it’s ready to go.

I lime glam glow. I’m even a fan of the glow tint Sephora sent a couple of months ago. I bought one just because anything from glam glow I know I will like. Im hoping the Sunday Riley is the Luna oil since they are marketing so heavy right now.
Waiting for the spoilers to see if is worth it to get a 2nd one.

I haven’t gotten Glossybox in over a year and I too decided to see if I had a credit and I had $18.48!! Since I love Sunday Riley and Nest candles I couldn’t pass this up.

I am not too familiar with all of these brands. Can someone tell me if these boxes seem to be worth it? I wasn’t able to get it boxycharm limited edition Box by think I’ll do this one instead depending on the brands.

The limited edition CEW Awards Box was my first purchase from Glossybox. I loved every item- even the ones I thought I wouldn’t like became my favorites. Great value in my opinion, keep an open mind and try them all. I say that because I sell on Ebay and was really glad I kept them all for me- LOL! The packaging is gorgeous and it is a great treat for yourself at a reasonable price. Plus if you do reviews for the products it equals cash off purchases- like this one- or the look fantastic site. I did 7 reviews and received close to $3 off my box. Hope this helps!

They are SO worth it! All these brands are awesome! Plus the value for what your getting is outstanding at over 200$!!

They totally are worth it depending on the products they send.
Glamglow usually does lot of skincare, each full sized product ranging anywhere between $40-70. I have tried few, and like the masks a lot. Just placed an order for another one.
Sunday Riley is also quality and expensive skincare.
Nest Fragrances are pretty good too. I have few of their perfumes but never tried the candles.
Skinn Cosmetics would be a new brand for me.
I suggest you go on Sephora’s website and look for these brands. See if anything interests you. May be that would make it easier for you to decide. 🙂

Thanks for posting about the credits. I have $10 in credit but haven’t had a box since December 2016 when I cancelled due to so much drama caused by bait and switch. So now I can get this box at the discount price or use the credit on the Look Fantastic site instead.

Wow, I canceled GB about 4 months ago but I had a $43 credit so couldn’t pass this up for free. I may have to resub to GB. It looks like they are becoming a fantastic sub again!! I sure hope they are awarding people with $ for reviews like BB did ages ago. It was a great marketing tool for BB and kept me as a customer for 2+ years. Every time I accumulated $ in my account, I went shopping in the BB site. If GB starts doing this, I’m in!!

I am surprised that this box does not seem to be as popular as the Boxycharm box was. The brands, IMO, seem better for this one.
Or maybe it does not seem as popular because it is not a brand new thing and the site has not been wonky (as per about 75% of the comments on the Boxycharm post).
I passed on Boxycharm and decided to give this one a go. Fingers crossed I made the right choice! 🙂

I also think that these brands sound better so far, although honestly I don’t think a candle belongs in a beauty box – total waste of item space and price as far as I am concerned.
It’s just that GlossyBox sucked so badly for so long that I think the general level of excitement for anything from this company is very low. It’s only now that it’s starting to get back on its feet.

Nest doesn’t do just candles they also have fragrances that are so nice so GB will. Probably have a fragrance not a candle I’ll take either though!

I love the soy candles that double as scented lotion or body oil though!

So torn. I’ve never purchased from Glossybox, so I don’t have a credit to sway me. I love Sunday Riley, so I may purchase based solely on that. Do these LE boxes typically sell out? Or do you think they’ll have a coupon. Also wondering if that’s a full size Nest candle or a votive. Can’t decide!
Reply
Liddy
99% sure it’s a 16.00 votive not a 40.00 full size.

Barbara
SInce it says 7 full-size product, I believe he candle shoud be full size as well.
I want spoiler first and then make up my mind for this. 🙂
Reply
Missy
It could. Have a nest fragrance and not a candle
JuJu
No, Glossybox LE boxes do not typically sell out.
Not all of the Sunday Riley products are good, which is why I want to wait for actual spoilers.
