The box is back in stock now!

This is back in Stock. I grabbed one!

I just got my box almost all products 5/7 I think are full sized… and at $14 I am super happy …as for the customer service at glossybox it’s like an elevator button you can push as many times as you want (call/Mail)but the lift doesn’t come any faster .. but the lift does come eventually (they do resolve the matter) .. haters gonna hate .. hopefully the takeover brings a new year of more joy and less drama for glossybox AND everyone else out there .. happy new year everyone 🎉🎉

I just received my box that I got for 35. First holiday box I ever bought from them and Im pretty happy. I won’t use the mascara or eyeliner but the candle is super cute and the full size SR is gonna be amazing.

Got my box today. Info card lists all items as full size with their prices. Says nothing about the candle being less than that so are they counting the candle as worth $40?? What a joke.

I am very excited to report that my Holiday box has shipped today😙

Did anyone get charged for this today!? I’m kind of annoyed, I was expecting it to take out on December 1st like they said

Huh, I just tried to log in to my Glossybox account to change my credit card number for December, because the card I’ve been using with them has been replaced.

So when I finally found the payment info icon, it told me that they don’t have any saved payment cards for me! But what’s even more interesting, there is also no button there or link or anything to enter a new card!

I wonder how they are going to process December payments? December is my last $10 month, so I would have liked to be able to still get that box.

This is all very strange.

I think I must be the only one they didn’t send a discount code to.

I would’ve preferred the Glamglow to be a mask, the Buxom to be a lipstick/lipgloss and the NCLA to be a nail polish. And I wish there was anything other than a black liquid eyeliner and eye shadow palette, as I’m on overload with those items. More skincare would’ve been nice instead of so much makeup. The Sunday Riley serum and Nest candle are really the highlights. I was able to get this with the $5 discount plus $20 in points/credits, so I guess it’s pretty good for $15, but there’s no way it’s worth $40 or really even $35. By the list of spoiler brands, this could have been an amazing box but they just picked some of the wrong products from those brands.

I was waiting to have the mid- month funding to buy the Holiday box, and it sold out an hour before I could buy it.
So, I clicked on the Rituals Spa box and it’s sold out now too.
Co-incidence. or are they shifting some of their stock over to a discount site like Ruelala?

Add me to the list of people who cancelled! Loved the serum, was disappointed by the Nest candle size, was okay with the GlamGlow product but the last thing I need is any more mascara, black eyeliner, eyeshadow palettes or cuticle oil. But really it was the messed up way they took away the 7 full sized items and what they did with that other box last week – I can easily find another awesome company to give my money to! (Julep I’m looking at you to do nice colors for Dec!!)

So Glossybox was recently bought by another company. When I called earlier this week about a broken item in my November box the very polite rep stated they were having system issues from the change over and my old orders wouldn’t show on my account. I’m thinking that the new management doesn’t fill understand how this business works. But the snarky social media comments are uncalled for.

Also- does anyone know the size of the serum in this book? It’s the only reason I got the box

HOLD UP LADIES!!! I just went to their website & logged in and to my disbelief EVERY LE box they have is SOLD OUT? 😲 How is this possible? Confusing ad super shady??? Any thoughts??? 🤔

The box is now sold out.

I know people are upset that things are smaller in size, but I prefer that sometimes. Whenever they put 7 full size products in a box and charge $40 or less, I wonder if they are all old inventory, overstock from a third party retailer, or being discontinued. But if they are mini deluxe sizes, then at least I know they are more likely to be directly from the brands themselves and more recently manufactured.

Like the Boxy limited edition box, the Ofra is being discontinued (if it hasn’t already), the Tarte is as well and/or old inventory and a lot of the stuff they throw in seems like products that haven’t sold well.

I’m actually looking forward to receiving this box and glad to get the cuticle oil instead of another nail polish that will just sit on my dresser.

I’m probably the only one that could care less about the size of the candle. 🙂 But I get where others are coming from.

I was just on glossybox facebook and someone posted: Disappointed the candle is not full size. I was under the impression all the products were full size. Glossy answered: There is no specification on what the Limited Edition should or should not have. I’m so sorry if this is dissatisfying for you. You can always check out our page for other limited edition boxes.”

The $40 noted in that email link on their GB page is the same notation that is in every box!!! They always always always list the full size value in the booklet. We have had issues with the swap side of things because of that. I DID not take it to mean the candle was full size.

I am gonna really like my box. Happy to have gotten it! The rituals boxes would have been nice too but this will be much better.

As a side note, what if the RV if the entire box was $500 and there were no full sizes? Or what if the value is the $207 and there were only 4 full size products?

While I know people have had issues with customer service and variation issues ( I have had both as well) when did getting $200 worth of products for $40 (or less) become a bad thing? Regardless of the full size count this is still a great deal.

I would bet there were communication / advertisement issues between Liz and GB, we know Liz wouldn’t post information she knew was bad on purpose. lol

It’s the holiday season, grab some eggnog and think about the yummy food for Thanksgiving! This is SOOO not worth all this aggravation.

First, to everybody that bought this box, I hope you really enjoy it. I cancelled mine and i’m good with that too. I just read in the comments that Glossybox and Boxycharm are blaming Liz. Glossy for their advertising of full size products- Boxy for letting people know about the Holiday box. I kept up with both of them because of the reviews on here MSA. Personally, I think it is a cheap shot to gladly receive the publicity year round and take the resulting business and then when they aren’t prepared, to shift the blame. I think it really is disgusting- and I do not intend to purchase from either company again. And when it comes to Glossy- lousy customer service and bait and switch should be in the reviews. I guess they get away with it because everybody thinks the boxes are such a good deal until they get burned themselves. I am done with them both.

I like this box, but I’m not nearly as impressed with it as I have been with other boxes. I like when they have a cohesive theme. The 2015 holiday box with it’s rose gold theme was AMAZING and is what first turned me on to GlossyBox. Incredible full-size products, great value, a color theme so that those who know rose gold doesn’t work for them could avoid it. The 2017 Mother’s Day box was equally impressive. All full-size (though there was some question about that when Liz was sent a deluxe sample size product and people were angry), great value, cohesive pink theme.

I feel like this box would have had potential if they had just eliminated the two mini products and had just one, quality, full-size product instead. I was very intrigued by the Nest candle, but not when I saw how tiny it was.

Still pretty happy with this box and the spoilers. Like it better than the Boxycharm box.
NCLA – Keep
DHC – Gift
Skinn – ?? Don’t know yet
Big Tease – Keep
Nest – Hostess Gift for holidays
Glamglow – Keep (depending on color – otherwise gift)
Sunday Riley – Keep

One for you, one for me…. One for you, one for me…. 🙂

As someone who specializes in Marketing and PR, I’m interested in seeing how they try and recover from this mess.

I think they may have forgotten the power of social media.

I cancelled. It isn’t a terrible box, but it isn’t anything terribly exciting either. I figured I would order it and keep a few items and use others as gifts, but the more spoilers I see the less I care for it. Definitely don’t need more mascara since I’m super picky and already constantly giving the ones I get away, the shadows just look a little washed out, I don’t think they would look very good on many people, kind of remind me of the Too Faced White Chocolate Chip, I’m maxed out on red lips of any kind, the cuticle oil would be useful but I know I won’t keep up my nails enough for it to make any difference. I really just want the candle and Sunday Riley, but I have a brightening wash and serum that work well enough for my needs.

I don’t think it is bad, just everything was slightly a miss for me. Here would be my ideal box by these brands while staying as close as possible to their current box value:

1. Sunday Riley – Tidal Brightening Enzyme Cream $65
2. Nest – Votive $16
3. Buxom – Wildly Whipped Lip $21
4. NCLR – Nail Polish $16
5. Skinn – Mineral Eye Lighter $14
6. DHC – Aroma Balm Natural Balance $16
7. Glam Glow – Dream Duo Overnight treatment $59

Total – $207 (fits their over $204 claim). I would have 100% have preferred this and paid full price for the box if I didn’t get the subscriber discount and Glossydots credit!

Glossybox has been shady from the beginning and this whole fiasco is no surprise to me. While the boxes are sometimes very good, I had a bad experience with customer support about 2 years ago and swore them off at that time. Don’t expect their customer service to get any better. I can’t wait until they close down for good.
