I got charged for a box even though I canceled. :/ Honestly, I remember why I canceled the first time around.

I had subscribed via paypal, so the only way to cancel was via paypal. I cancelled my subscription in plenty of time, prior to the 14th of the month as Glossybox requires, and they still tried to charge my paypal acct, also sent me emails asking me to update my payment info. I wrote back informing them that I had cancelled, and they informed me that they had not recieved notification on time. Paypal of course denied the payments, which was good, so they were unable charge me. I am glad that I did not provide them with my direct credit card info. Now if I could just get the items missing from my last box, I would be happy.
Sonya
Me too!!!! I just sent CS an email requesting why I am being charges twice. UGH not pleased

Call your credit card company- they will get it handled faster- Never give any sub company your debit info. Buy a visa or amex gift card if you don’t have a credit card. It’s just easier and better protection for you.

For people wondering why everyone does not get the same items, this is from their faq-
>We have several variations of GLOSSYBOX each month. The version chosen is based on location, preferences and possible GWP options. <<
It says it is based on location, which is interesting.

Ethnicity/skin color also is a factor. I emailed them once because they sent me tanning lotion and I’m african American… I can’t do anything with tanning lotion. They were very nice, and let me pick a new item (whatever I wanted from a list of 16 items). Glossybox never sent me anything tanning related again. I saw that most girls received a box containing tanning bars for june 2016. I didn’t get that, instead I got mineral face water spray which was more valuable anyways. So I was very happy to see that in my box instead of versaspa samples.
If you cannot use a certain product, email them and let them know.
Although ethnicity is a factor, I’m not sure they care too much about hair texture considering I’ve gotten sea salt spray and I filled out my profile saying I have curly hair. I have curlllls galore! But that’s okay, at least I can play around with hair sprays (even if they’re not made for my hair type specifically) sometimes they work, so I don’t mind that at all.
I’m glad they send out different boxes. Otherwise I wouldn’t still be subscribed if I literally could not experiment with the products (like tanning lotions).

Location does seem like an odd factor. Maybe they have multiple warehouses? But still…
Again, I don’t have a problem with variations, as long as they are comparable in their objective value. This month, with upwards of a $55 disparity between variations, was not objectively comparable.

I signed up for a 3-mo sub, with the code SUMMERFUN, for the two free boxes. I received all three together this week. Two were pink, and one was black, with “June” and “Tony Awards” on the cover. The contents sound like the July box, though, so maybe they ran out of boxes? I don’t know if my sub has started with June or July, though; so I wrote and asked. They do seem to reply quickly, though not always to the point.

The free boxes are leftover past boxes. It states that in the information. Free boxes usually come on the same day as your first box.

I was in that same boat! I got mine on Saturday but the eyeshadow was melty 🙁 Not my color was I’m going to let it go but when they emailed that a “few” people had the same issue, it made me wonder. I am looking forward to the too faced spoiler but hope it isn’t a tease like they did with the Nuxe oil

I received the two face mascara stuff tried it out for the first time last night. Awful! It burned my eyes, I will try again maybe I applied too much. I was charged for another box well after I canceled my subscription. I emailed them two weeks ago and still haven’t heard anything. I have screen shots of GB saying my subscription was canceled so they better not try me again.
AED
Good for you Asia, that’s a marvelous box. It is interesting that some receive oil and others don’t. I thought the powers of GB didn’t plan accordingly and ran out of the product, but now that idea has proven incorrect. Then we surmised that only new subscribers received the oil, and that has not proven true. The mystery of the oil continues… Does the secret lie in our personal surveys or a total breakdown of their beauty management staff?
Reply
RED
I’m new and didn’t receive the oil. That’s why I promptly cancelled. My 3-mo. sub. ends in Aug. Now I have to worry about all the posts I’ve seen elsewhere that they will randomly use your credit card # months after you cancelled to bill you for a box … some people have had it happen repeatedly. I’m thinking maybe I should call my card co. and claim I lost my card so I get a new number and pre-empt GB at their deceptive and childish business practice/game.
Kay
If you received regular Nuxe oil (not shimmery one), did your bottle have small white sticker on the side saying “Happy Holidays” or something? If you peel it off, it says “Not for Sale”. I ordered holiday LE box which had this Nuxe oil with this sticker. I have seen on other blogger’s review of this box, so I thought about worth the mention here.

I received luxe and mine didn’t have any sticker on the side. Are they mixing old with new?!

I know the sticker you are talking about I had the same sticker from the one in my holiday box but for the July box I received the shimmer oil and the spray pump was broken so product leaks out from under the cap instead of spraying, lol. Mine also says it expires in November 2016 and the fragrance smells off like it is already going bad.

If it says “happy holidays” it is left over from a holiday LE box from 2015. That being the case, I think I am glad I did not get it (though I am peeved about the value discrepancy) because that stuff has to be pretty old by now.

Is anyone else still waiting for their July box? I received the shipping confirmation email on July 13 but tracking simply shows that the label has been created. I reached out to Glossybox via telephone and the numbers do not work and via message through their site and have not received a response. So I called FedEx and they said the label was created but the box never shipped. They charged me for the box with no problem and they have even charged me for August already but I’m still waiting for the July box. I am very disappointed in this company.
Reply
Elizabeth
I’m still waiting too and my FedEx tracking hasn’t updated either. This is so ridiculous. I am used to receiving my box late in the month, but it’s unacceptable to be receiving it in August and weeks after the box was supposedly shipped. I haven’t bothered to reach out to their customer service since I have only heard bad things about it. I am going to give it a few more days and see what happens.
Reply
Amanda
I have not received my July box either. I was able to chat with someone from Glossybox several days ago. She said my box was in the finishing stage before shipping. She told me I would get an email when they sent it. Still nothing. It has not been marked shipped on the website either. No one there has ever responded to my email or phone call in the past. They haven’t this time either. The chat box is not there anymore. I really hate to be one to complain, but they should not call it a July box if I receive it in August (if I even receive it then).

I’ve already canceled going forward after August box. Just wish the service was better.

I am new to Glossy, just signed up because of the promotion (buy 1 get to boxes), and I just received the 3 boxes all at once. I wasn’t even expecting it. There was no email, no tracking, nothing. It was just there on my doorsteps. And, I feel incredibly lucky to get the box everyone wanted, the one with the Nuxe oil. I have never heard of this stuff before, but I am really excited to try it.

My Subscription Addiction, it is my opinion that you should not list Glossybox’s spoilers because the company fails continuously to actually provide the spoiler items in their boxes. They play the bait and switch game continuously. Would MSA consider boycotting listing spoilers and reviews until Glossybox honors their spoilers? They do not listen to us customers as individuals, perhaps that will do something if MSA spoke/acted on our behalf!

I agree. I saw the spoiler for Nuxe and reached out to GB customer service when I didn’t get it. They said “oh, follow this link, THESE are the spoilers’ and the link had the nail stuff, the eyeko, and had a mask instead of the Nuxe. The only place I could find the Nuxe listed as a spoiler was on MSA, GB cleared out their site.

Glossybox is now all edging that due to technical difficulties, they cannot receive incoming calls. Furthermore, the automatic reply states we can leave a message, but when attempting to do so, the phone line hangs up. I don’t believe for 1 second that there are technical difficulties, but rather Glossybox has chosen to disable incoming calls from their upset customers!

Thank you for your site! I absolutely love the work you put in, I get so excited. I agree with the comment above. The Nuxe Oil wasn’t there last time. I love BoxyCharm, and am considering dropping my Glossy. Do you have a recommendation for a great make up box?

Call Glossybox. That’s what I did today and they are sending me out 3 items. They are sending me the Too Faced Melted Lipstick, a Face Palette that she said they sell at Nordstrum for 70 dollars and a Face Primer and I got to choose the items I got. She said they were out of stock of the Nuxe Oil I don’t know how true that is I’m just happy to be getting replacement items because my box was crap. I got the cheapest box you could get. I was very upset.

Tiffany, I received the same junkie box and I sent Glossybox a FB message with my concerns. I still haven’t received my box even though it’s almost August, but I the contents of what I will be receiving is listed on my account. I am hoping for the same outcome as you. (Getting three replacement items is the ideal outcome lol.) However, I have seen other ladies mention that Glossybox will only send out one product, rather than three! Hoping for the best… otherwise I will cancel and stick with Boxycharm. THAT subscription box is actually worth my money. #fuming #ripoff #happyending
Dani
I got the cheapest box too and when I chatted with CS to complain she only offered me 1 item and that was after a lot of back and forth conversation about the value of the variations. I asked for the Face Palette also but have not received it yet. She may have offered me less because I have a year sub through Gilt City deal so technically I can’t really cancel even if I wanted to. I was so disappointed I didn’t receive the Nuxe oil. The Too Faced melted lipstick I was okay with not getting since I just got it in the previous box and don’t really use it. Glad their customer service is responding to people however they need to get on the ball with making equally valued variations!

Thanks for posting this! My box is set to arrive some time today. If I receive it and its the cheaper variation I will definitely contact customer service. Although I don’t know how eager they will be to assist me since I cancelled on the 14th!

I got a full-sized melt-off when it first came out. It’s ok but doesn’t work as intended. If you use waterproof mascara. it takes a lot of product to “melt it off”. I think the applicator is the problem. A spoolie would work a lot better so that you can actually brush the remover into the lashes.

I just received my July box today and this spoiler was on the info card. Here is what I received in my box:
Leighton Denny Expert Nails Miracle Mist – Even though it was a spoiler item for June, I don’t think any of us got it. So, they decided use as one of the spoilers for July and here it is.
Tree Hut Bare Shave Oil – No Nuxe Shimmery Oil for me. Much more practical product and I am ok with this as I probably won’t use shimmery oil. I just don’t like the idea of getting shimmers elsewhere like on clothes and hands, etc. And I received the small bottle of Nuxe shimmery oil from another box and I am not so crazy about the scent. Too sweet and powdery for me. But I am not happy with the price difference in between this oil and Nuxe as full-size goes for $54 or so and this shave oil is listed $10 ($12 at Ulta).
Eyko Fat Stick in Satin – Spoiler item
Fango Essenziali Purity Treatment Sheet Mask – Spoiler Item
Sinfulcolors Kylie Jenner Nail Polish – Mine was Kafe Latte. I didn’t receive one last month. While I am not a fan of Kardashian/Jenner clan and don’t like to see their products in sub boxes, I got lucky with the color. I have similar colors.
Glov Quick Treat – reusable makeup removing microfiber.
I am excited to see Too Faced featured in August, but I am not so excited about the product… it feels like I am adding another step to my night time routine…

I received the same box only my Sabon Shower Oil had spilled out on the masks and was about half gone. When I emailed them they told me to send a picture. I just wanted a replacement sample. Wrote them back that was all I needed. I knew this box would be a dud when it was so late shipping out and Glossy sent out the spoilers. The nail mist I am happy with and that is about it. I would love to have gotten the Nuxe oil.

I have the Nuxe oil from the holiday box and used it a little but it’s just there now. I think there’s a learning curve with getting used to using oil over other products. I’m happier with the nail mist too but I had a similar issue with the eyeshadow being melted. I thought about contacting them but I didn’t get my box until the last day of July and didn’t want to deal with sending pics for something I was going to donate anyway.

My shipping says 1.8lbs, so you might get Nuxe! Please do let us know. However, to point out… my shaving oil is 8 oz/237 ml in a plastic pump bottle. Nuxe is either 3.3 oz, 1.6 oz, or tiny travel size in glass bottle.

If you haven’t received your July glossybox yet don’t worry! They are shipping the 2-3 week of July and they will send you an email with tracking when yours ships. As to this spoiler I too am afraid my eyes are waaay….. Too sensitive for this! I’m also sick of all the mascara products in Aaaallllll… The boxes! It’s a cheap filler but I could start my own store I have so much! Time for something new like lip balm or bronzer or hair products for summer before it’s over! I will say this however GlossyBox customer service is Great! Unlike ipsy and allure. I will be cancelling IpsyBag after my first totally ridiculous bag and lying customer service! They told me they cancelled it and sent it anyways and got into my account after I told them not to! Allure made a Total mess of my account when the banks changed us over to the chipped cards and it took over 50 calls and emails before they finally got it straight! If it happens again I will cancel it immediately, no more b.s from them! For me I am going to do 3 subs because I like the higher end stuff and full or deluxe size samples. I will keep allure, GlossyBox, and the dermstores box “beautyfix”. I will also continue to pick up the target boxes when they are available and my seasonal Walmart boxes. I’m pretty new to subs, I’m on my 2nd GlossyBox and 4th allure box. I’ve not yet subscribed to Beautyfix but plan to this month or next. I’ve also been a
Walmart box subber since the winter 2015 box and have purchased all of the last 5 target boxes and i loved them all. Watch out for boxes who list no cust svc. phone number and who try to send you more fillers than product. I have turned down many for those reasons alone! They can do better and should, so vote with your wallets wisely ladies ?

I wear eyelash extensions, only use mascara on my lower lashes, and therefore can’t use oil-based eye make-up removers. So while this might be a great idea, it’s not for me.

Nice spoiler. Kinda makes me wish I’d opted for this instead of Allure to take the spots vacated by Sephora Play and Ipsy when I cancelled those, unless not everyone receives the ‘spoiler’ item. I wanna try this, I just don’t want to actually go out and buy it, if that makes sense! Guess we’ll see how well Allure does then, compared to this one for me.

Well … I subscribed in July and they sent me the June box … so go figure. Not a very well organized company, methinks. Oh, and they’ve charged me for “July boxes” twice this month.

I’ve been thinking of trying Glossybox and this spoiler is tempting. The remover is kind of a neat idea, but I’ve always heard you shouldn’t use oil based cleansers on or near your eyes. I don’t remember *why* you shouldn’t but it stuck, so I do tend to go oil free with my eye makeup remover. It’s a great idea though, so now I am thinking why not use a clean spoolie from my makeup brush set and my usual oil-free cream eye makeup remover to help remove my mascara? Coating the lashes that way seems like it would less of a hassle than hanging out in the bathroom holding a remover-soaked pad over my eyes.
Ya know, I think I shall try that tonight to see if it works! Gimmicks can be fun and inspiring sometimes, but if that’s all this is – a gimmick rather than a product breakthrough – I’ll gladly take the idea for the technique and spend my play and makeup money on transitional fall colors instead. 🙂

Let us know how it works out 🙂 I think that’s a great idea! Could also keep my grabby hands from the TF one, if it works in the same fashion. Its just an oil based remover in mascara packaging, I think…?
Reply
Sylvia
Well, I did try it using my regular eye makeup remover and a spoolie to help remove my mascara, and it did help – a little. I still had that eye liner to deal with so I still had to use cotton pads as well, but coating each of the lashes with a spoolie seemed to help with breaking down the mascara. It did not help enough that I’d buy something like this TF product because quite frankly, it wasn’t enough of a help that I’m going to switch to a spoolie with any kind of remover on it every night. The instant I picked up the cotton pad to finish removing my eye makeup I realized all I was doing was adding a step – which I knew anyway, I just hadn’t realized how utterly pointless it really was.
To be fair, the TF product does have ingredients in it that claim to condition your lashes and I’ve not tried any of their removers. It could be MAGIC or something. But if it’s not just the best eye makeup remover you’ve ever seen in your life, you’re probably just adding a step and a conditioner the remover you already use may or may not already have.
I’ll stick to my Neutrogena Cream Eye Makeup Remover, a Swisspers cotton pad and some Simple Micellar Water to clean it all up. It’s just more comfortable for me anyway, because brushing a cleanser on your lashes feels weird and a tad disturbing. That might be a personal thing, though.

I looked the ingredients up on the TF site and that’s exactly what it is – an oil based eye makeup remover in a mascara tube with a bristle-free wand. I’ll try the spoolie-with-remover idea tonight and let you guys know how it works. My eye makeup remover isn’t a miracle product or anything, but it is gentle and I am familiar with how it usually works, so if it performs better tonight using a spoolie to coat the lashes with remover, well, there we go. 🙂
I’ll believe it when I actually see it in my box. Glossybox has a tendency to only give to some subscribers and not all subscribers. Beauty bloggers will definitely receive it, I’m sure.

I agree that they put their best foot or box forward in efforts to entice new customers instead of keeping the ones they already have happy. I have so many duplicates (I will never need to buy smashbox primer or Benefit pore perfect-never ever- I’m swimming in those samples) that I’m feeling a little box fatigue which makes teases like this of a new product hurt more because I want to try something new! Even if it didn’t work for me- I’d like something different from the primer, mascara, non 3 free nail polish and lipstick/gloss/stain in a color not found in nature mix I’ve been getting 😉

I’m glad I canceled. I don’t need anymore eyelash products. It seems most subs this month were inundated with them.
