Spoiler #5 is an ugly palette 🙁

I cancelled too. I had ordered three boxes because I got caught up in everyone’s excitement over the serum but when I saw the mascara, I knew that I just don’t have any need for this box. I don’t even need the serum. I have boxes from Beautyfix, Allure and Boxycharm that I haven’t started to use. I haven’t used a single item from the last Glossybox LE. I have mascaras stacked up enough to last me years. I am in the fortunate/unfortunate position of not needing any makeup or skincare at all. I’m afraid I am becoming a hoarder of these products.

Well. I’m kind of on the fence about this at the moment. When this box was announced and it said 7 full sized items I was intrigued. Then I saw that Nest was one of the brands and I jumped because I’ve been dying to try one of their candles…I have a bit of an addiction to candles that’s almost as bad as my sub problem. I saw the candle spoiler and thought I was mistaken. I expected a votive since they’re pricey, but this one is the mini size that they give as a free gift with $50 purchase. I should’ve seen this coming…they’ve pulled the switcheroo four months in a row now. I’m past the point of being angry over anything they do. I should’ve waited but I honestly thought they’d start off on a better foot after the buyout. What better time to start fixing your reputation? *Sigh* Oh GlossyBox, why can’t you learn from your mistakes?

More mascara?!!!! Ummm no thanks. Time to cancel. All the spoilers suck and this company does not care about their customers. I givd up!

Yup I can’t with the mascara!… I don’t wear mascara. That and the size of the candle is making me rethink this box. One more spoiler like this and I am out.

Why is everyone saying that the Glamglow lip balm isn’t full sized? I just did a quick Google search and Sephora, Nordstrom AND Glamglow’s own website sells it for $19, just like the RV revealed in the spoiler. It doesn’t look very ‘mini’ in the picture either, and if the full size is $24 like some people are saying why would they make a mini that’s worth only $5 less…?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to defend Glossybox because they’ve already been really shady with this LE box regarding the Nest candle, but it’s just false information. I get why people are quick to believe that though given the candle situation- if they had the $16 votive included then I personally think it was fine, since they sell that size individually anyways, but not smaller than that. So they’re definitely not making themselves look good lol. I’m going to keep this order though since I like the SR sérum they’re sending and I could always use more black mascaras. I’m basically thinking of it as the SR serum on discount + extras haha.

On Glamglow website it is listed as a “mini”. I do think it’s odd that for $5 more you get 3x the amount of product.

I just cancelled. I have decided deal or not on the Sunday riley- it’s not worth it. I used the money I saved and bought a ful size dipptyque candle and a 2nd beautyheros bag at spacenk. Used the code Singlemoon and received the 31 piece autumn sample bag+ 3 foil samples and 1 deluxe sample and used my incentive money and gained more plus free shipping. Feel less taken already. Glossybox is too shady – I just don’t trust them.

I cx’d too – was hoping GB was getting their act together – the past couple boxes have been great & their last LE box was especially nice. I had high hopes for this one based on the brands, and they ARE still nice, just not for me.

Hi Chris, I just tried code Singlemoon on Spacenk website to get autumn sample bag but won’t recognize that code. Help!

Hi Jewelcat,

It’s SINGLESMOON. You are missing the “s”. Try again. Good luck!

KarenG

Chris, which fragrance of Diptyque did you get? Their best seller is Baies and smells glorious. I am a huge Diptyqyue fan. I, too cancelled this order even with the $23 credit. It’s just so disappointing how everything keeps getting smaller and smaller compared to original expectations.
I like full size even if I pay full price. You are going to love the Space NK gift!

I’m still excited about the box. I hope the Sunday Riley is full size, that makes it worth the $40

I am a sucker for a serum…. so far holding out due to budget restrictions plus already get boxy and beauty fix monthly so….

Personally. I’d rather have a smaller candle and larger sizes of cosmetics, as that’s mainly what I’m looking for from Glossybox. So far, these spoilers seem seasonally appropriate and comparable to other Holiday boxes they have done in the past, so I remain Team Fine With It.

I was talking to someone about this earlier today. If the candle took up $40rv a lot of people would be upset about that too. Not to mention… nest fragrance barely discounts their candles for their own sub box. If we got a big candle in this box we probably wouldn’t be getting much else…

The reveal of the candle size made me realize I wanted the candle more than the box, so I am just buying a candle 😀 but good for everyone who’s happy

I would bet the nail polish on the model, the brown eyeliner and blush/contour are next 3 products.

I just cancelled right online. I’m totally done with all HUT Group companies. The bait and switch, and horrendous customer service is getting old.

Not gunna be dramatic, just… done with the bait and switch. Cancelled. Toodaloo glossybox.

I have realized that the candle size really bummed me out because it was what I was most looking forward to. I’m gunna take my $40 and buy a real sized candle.

Cassandra

so, it looks like she is wearing all the spoilers…I’m guessing the NCLA is the gold nail polish she is wearing. And the Skinn maybe the eye liner? Not sure about the DHC but I’m hoping it’s the cleansing oil to “take it all off”. Fingers crossed cause I love that oil 🙂

Alice

I’m hoping we get the DHC Cleansing Oil as well!!! Fingers crossed!✌🏼🙂

Ok… so full size if off the table which I assume takes the $204 retail off the table too?

Liz can you please clarify if you can what exactly is no longer full size?

Liz Cadman

Yes. Just reached out to get confirmation of sizes on all spoiled items. I’ll post as soon as I hear back. Thank you for the suggestion!

Hey Liz.. I’m not sure of your email address, but I just wanted to let you know that New Beauty is releasing a Beauty Report sampling box on November 24th, for $29, with free shipping. The web page is.. https :// www .newbeauty. com /beautybox/ without all the spaces of course..

Julie

Thank You!! After the underwhelming boxycharm reveal I’m really crossing my fingers that only the candle it mini.

Emily

I was really hoping for a win from this box after the Boxycharm LE fail. I won’t be getting this one either I guess. Is anyone getting a good Winter box worth mentioning? I need some suggestions!
I’m super happy with the FabFitFun winter box this year but I’m in the market for one more box *cough cough* (Or more if anyone has some good suggestions.) *cough cough*

I too am super happy with the FFF box! I cancelled this box, and that made me super happy as well.

I hate to say that I cancelled too. Almost all serums cause pulling for me, I don’t do red lips anymore, I just ordered a D.L. candle subscription as my birthday gift, and the mascara gets bad reviews.

I so disappointed in Glossybox. These spoilers are terrible! The only item I want is the Sunday Riley… and what if it’s not even the full size? If it’s not full sized, I will never buy another box off them again! They lied about this box containing 7 FULL SIZED products.. not happy!

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

I agree. That is the only one that interests me at all. I’m relieved I didn’t get it. I usually regret not doing it. but not this time. I’m sorry for all that bought it 🙁 However, they usually save the best for last so that people don’t get disappointed when the spoilers go down in value. I will be crossing my fingers. I thought they had advertised full size as well, but now that is confused. They really need a PR person!!

When I made my purchase the site definitely said 7 full size items. Personally, I’m still pleased with what I see. I like the variety. This is a bonus Christmas gift to myself and I missed out on the Boxycharm LE (which I am no longer disappointed about). I’ll just wrap it and put it under the tree until Christmas. LOL

Why is this sad?

I just cancelled. The whole bait and switch and then the rest of the spoilers made me say NOPE! Plus the coupon wouldn’t work. If there’s a Black Friday sale I’ll probably buy it again, but otherwise I’m happy using Dennis Gross instead of Sunday Riley- it’s done wonders for my skin! The Sunday Riley product also doesn’t have very good reviews on beautypedia.

That Sunday Riley product contains toxins. Most of her products do.

Look up the ingredients on CosDNA. The inclusion of Phenoxyethanol alone is enough for me to never buy.

Reply ButtonReply

Anna

Oh no! I used up my sample and like what improvement I see so far. But I’m not good at checking ingredients, just looked up Phenoxyethanol, will have to cancel since I only wanted the Riley. Does anyone know another nontoxic brightening serum?

I initially thought of just giving the two boxes I ordered to my daughters. However, after reading all the comments, I just cancelled both and bought 2 additional fabfitfun boxes for my girls. For $10 more – all full size and great variety!

If enough people cancel and tell them why then maybe they will shape up a little. Probably not but at least you know you aren’t contributing.

This box is worth it for the Sunday Riley alone. My skin looks brighter and the sun damage melasma is slightly lighter. I’ve using a sample for two weeks and about to run out.

I bought this but even with the $23 credit, I still don’t want it. I requested a cancellation as well.

I won’t say anything negative – I will say that when they first said the box was 7 full sized items – was that the mistake of that same employee that posted the $13 Rituals box price – they could just blame him again.
Canceling this box would be more effort than I can handle.
3 more items to go…any chance of anything full sized at this point? There’s always a hand cream!

Is actualy very easy to cancel the box. Just enter to your account, click on the order and then click in cancel order.

I said somewhere else in all of these posts that I would think the same thing as you — just another web error — except that they have done this multiple times with their standard monthly box too. Once, even twice, I can say is an innocent error but if the SAME issue keeps happening over and over, you seriously need to look into your processes.
