I had glossy, ipsy, fabfitfun, and boxy and eventually dropped them all but boxy. My experience was that glossy was the worst outta the bunch for the actual products ( I love the boxes and presentation ) of course some products were ok, but not enough to justify keeping the sub. Too many so called ‘deluxe’ sizes, when compared with boxycharm, you always get full sized items.

I received my box and got the JM body wash and lotion. I’m really in need of this palette, since my skin has started being weird. I loved this box! I think this is my last box from the BF deal and I really enjoyed the year with Glossy!

This month is my last month from the 12 month prepaid subscription my husband gifted to me, last November (Black Friday deal). I already turned off the automatic re-subscription (as I don’t want to pay full price for the box). I will re-sub for another year, taking advantage of another 25% or 30% off. I enjoy Glossybox, very much so. Enjoy your goodies! 🙂

I was with GlossyBox for 9 years. I felt like it was the same stuff over and over again.
I then found BOXYCHARMS and WOW
Amazing no comparison way better it makes this box suck! Only thing I like is glossy box is the box and presentation was great. The products not so good.
Everyone just look at boxycharms. I don’t work for them or giving you a code I’m just saying look. You’ll see

They get hammered on boxy thread so doesn’t sound like a solid box over glossy.

Just received my box and the John Masters is the geranium & grapefruit body wash and body milk. The -417 is the firming mud mask, the bellapierre pro concealer palette and the Illamasqua hydra veil and of course the mentioned Skin&Co truffle face gommage. Glad the JM was not a shampoo and conditioner.

Do you know what your varient was? My notification says #1 so hoping I get what was spoiled. Then again there might not be any variants.

I’ve been with Glossybox for about 3 years. In the beginning I loved it and received lots of full sized products and a good mix of makeup and skin care. Over the past year I’ve become increasingly disappointed. Almost all tiny samples and very few full size products. Many repeats and truthfully low end products. I waffled about cancelling because I hoped it would get better again and I absolutely love the boxes they use and the beautiful presentation. Last month was the last straw for me. Several repeat items (Bella Pierre corrector pallet and the body wash/body milk) plus a super tiny little gel primer. I signed up for Boxycharm Premium and will now get all three of their boxes: base, premium and Boxyluxe.

Was happy get shower gel and lotion! This is the last of my 6 month and I’m taking a break but happy with this box.

Anyone else receive a “Steve Lavrant” lip gloss in the last box? The brand is Steve Laurant, so they sent out the garbage / misprint batch to subscribers.
Pretty insulting we are being sent manufacturing mistakes and typos, haha…Can’t say I’m surprised though!

Onefree is the code to get 3 months for $39.00 = $13.00 per box for 3 months.

Looking at the -417 website, it seems the item may be an eye product. I have so bloody many eye products! Argh! I should have canceled Glossbox a couple months ago. I’ll probably hold out until the end of the year as I love to see what all the boxes send out for the holidays. However, if I canceled before November, I would possibly be able to sign up for a Black Friday deal? Is that possible? Or would I have to start with a brand new account, new address, etc?

Not shampoo/conditioner again! And the same brand! The rest is also totally uninspiring.

This is my last box and I’m happy to cancel, being mindful to do it before the 7th so they don’t charge me for November’s.
I probably won’t resub… unless they come up with a 30% discount over Thanksgiving, lol.
There seem to be a shampoo set every other month, which I like, but I do think is on the low value scale.
It has overall been a good value and I have enough in my private stock to take a break for a while to catch-up on my usage.

Full spoilers but we don’t really know what the items are? Cool.

I’m so glad I cancelled my Glossybox! So sick of getting the same stuff!

Oh, I can’t wait to see what the palette looks like! i got the Skin & Co Face Gommage in another box recently and thought it was fairly useless. It doesn’t scrub or cleanse, just sort of sits on top of your skin until you wash it off again. But I’m sure the remaining items will more than make up for it.

With a gommage, you’re supposed to let it sit and then massage into the skin, and it starts to ball up, removing the top layer of dead skin! The more you massage, the more it pills/balls up 💖

Thank you for the information! I have wondered about the difference between a scrub and a gommage. Now I know!

I love that illamasqua primer! The consistency is really weird but it works great!

Code One free will give you $19.50 off a 3 month subscription. Making it $39.00. At $13.00 a month for a 3 month subscription makes it very worth the price. And beats out a 30% discount code. It doesn’t get better than this.

I love receiving shampoo and condition, so that’s pretty cool. -417 products are excellent, so I’m thrilled to see an item from them, in this month’s box. I wonder what sort of palette the Bellapierre item is. Looks like a decent box.

The BellaPierre palette looks like it might be the Pro Concealer Palette maybe?

The illamasqua is that jelly-like textured hydra veil primer. Eek, lol! Halloween skincare…goopy and jiggly! ;-D
