GlossyBox Subscription Box Review + Coupon – February 2017

Got my february Glossybox… I got the brow thing which I definitely don’t need. Was kinda hoping they would look at the profile you filled out to see what to send you. I have soon much hair stuff already and the other item was the one oz smoothing creme. At least the nail polish will get a lot of use and I got the sub for 15 for the first three months so I’ll give it another month before I decide to ditch them Gotta say the packaging is beautiful. That didn’t disappoint.

I don’t know if anyone is still getting notifications on this post, but I discovered something kind of cool with the Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat. I had it on my nails and went to a birthday party for my son’s friend, and with their Ghostbusters theme the lights were off, and they had a black light on. My nails glowed as if they had been painted with white nail polish. It could be a neat Halloween or party thing and wouldn’t require you to paint your nails day-of.

For everyone who didn’t get an Eve by Eve’s product and really wants one,
I left a comment on one of Eve By Eve’s Instagram posts saying i was so sad i didnt get one in my Glossybox and they asked for my email and said they would contact me an send me one. They did! They have excellent customer service! Then i ordered a lip definer for $11.40 with the 40% off discount code, its regular $20

They shipped my box 2 weeks ago, still haven’t received it, arg! How do I go about joining the swap site?

I also got the Vichy thermal water and Korres eyeshadow which I don’t mind because I’ve never tried either before, the thermal water has good reviews and the shadow is a pretty, pearly white. However, my eyeshadow arrived broken. I e-mailed Glossybox. How are they about sending replacements?

There is a mistake in this review: not all subscribers will get Eve by Eve.

Also, this pink gel coat contains formaldehyde, which some people might want to avoid, me included.

Like some of you, I don’t really care as much about the prices of the items and whether my box is worth more or less. It’s a sub box and the point is to try new things and see if I like them. I try just about everything, including scents I don’t like (because they can change on your body) and shades I don’t think suit me. Sometimes it’s an instant “wow!” and I fall in love with something that I didn’t think could work for me. Sometimes it’s instant dislike. And sometimes, I don’t like something at first, but then it grows on me.

In this box, I didn’t get the $58 mattifying powder, and I am totally ok with that. I think I probably wouldn’t have liked it, since I like a golden, bronzey type of look most days, but I would have given it a try. Instead I got the $29 Dome eyeshadow in Bronze! it’s like they know me! And a hair taming mask for my huge hair. I have just gotten so many hair mask-type products and dry shampoos this month in sub boxes. I do use them and love them, but I only wet my hair once a week, and usually use dry shampoo on day 5 or 6. I’ll be trying my Glossybox products soon, but I love the box and the items inside.

I JUST signed up because of the coupon alert I got for GlossyBox. 3 extra full size products with the Feb box. (Code: FEBTREAT) I just could NOT pass it up. I always wanted Boxycharm before this one…. But that deal. I can’t deal!!! Anyone have an idea of what the 3 full size products will be?
My husband is gonna KILL me. I don’t think I can explain myself out of this one. Every time I get sucked into deals like this I always go in planning to cancel subscription after the box arrives… Why do I keep lying to myself?

I’m gonna be grounded for months guys…. No phone, no tablet and NO internet! This better be worth it.

So I am super upset!! I just signed up for Glossybox for the first time, after seeing this review. I wanted to get an Eve by Eve product. Thats the product i wanted the most, and I just checked what i got for products on the site, (my box will be here in 2 days) and Im not receiving any product from Eve by Eve. Instead, im getting KORRES Modern Greek Apothecary – Sunflower & Evening Primrose Eyeshadow, and Vichy – Thermal Spa Water. The other 3 are the same as in this review, the nail stuff, perfume an water pack. I am SO SAD!! I will be cancelling asap.
If anyone has an Eve by Eve lip definier or blush they wanna trade or just dont want, please let me know. I also get Ipsy and my Boxycharm box is on its way.

I am excited about receiving this box. But it looks like I will be getting the February box in March.. they haven’t even charged me this month 🙁

My estee edit arrived and is not at all like the one in the review! Mine looks like bright pink gel and only fills 1/4 of the jar…..it’s not the creamy product Liz received. Ugh. I swear every month I’ve problems with glossybox. They must know me by name as each month I write them.

Anyone else have this problem with their estee edit????

Their customer service… ugh. I emailed about a card issue and they emailed back about why they can’t cancel my subscription. I never mentioned canceling once. Sigh. I’ve gotten exactly one box in January and more hassle than I expected and even that box was on the level with my Allure box for less….

This is my last box with glossydots after a year-long ride with Gilt voucher (if you are new, please search Gilt City Glossybox and you will see what kind of deals some of us got).

The variation I got was Bonacure Hairtherapy Moisutre Kick Beauty Balm 1oz ($2,50?) and Blush Mineral Powder from Eve by Eves. The website has full size 15g and I received 7g, so half the size = $29.

It is not Liz’s fault at all, but I think Glossybox is known for sending out reviewers/bloggers highest value/most popular valuation possible EARLY. So we all sign up with the hope of getting the same box. Since I received Glossybox for a year, here is my honest opinion. They claim that they send out variations based on our “profile” (when I asked customer service) which I vaguely remember it was not detailed enough for them to send out the variation. For example, this Mineral Powder is not matching my skin color… And sometimes they send out questionable products like the shopping mall kiosk skincare (thanks to MSA reader who pointed out). Some months the variation are very wide in values with totally different category.

Overall, I felt that I got a fare share of good and not so good boxes throughout the year in terms of possible variation (not suitable for my needs or not). Either it is random or they kind of rotate high and low value boxes. So, if you subscribe for a short time, you might experience good boxes in a row or opposite. However, I wouldn’t subscribe at a full-price and I am glad my little box envy/drama is over! I hope this helps for newer subscribers.

Does anyone know what variation I might be getting? I bought myself a month’s gift sub the day of this review (2/6), then redeemed it. My box still hasn’t shipped yet, and I’m impatient. The SKU on my box is “g.2017.02.s”

I was just wondering if anyone else had the same SKU and, if so, what variation you got.

Thanks!

Got my box today and am very happy with it! I did the Black Fri deal for a year and that brings my box to just a little over $13. I had subscribed to GB mon to mon earlier last year, as I was checking out several boxes at the time. Liked them enough to do a 6 mon sub and also picked up some boxes that were on sale!
The only thing I received that I don’t need is another cream blush. I keep getting those in sub boxes but am lucky enough to pass along some to one of my three daughters.
If anyone wants a blush, I’d love to exchange for the gel eyeliner as that is one product that I don’t have! :). I have never done swaps before.

My box arrived today. I received the mascara ($38), and the Moisture kick beauty balm. I love to try new mascara, and I like that it also has a base coat built into the cap. My box value is $103.

I’ve been fairly happy with this sub with one big exception- my November Glossy box arrived with the Lycopene crema rinnovante open with the screw cap off and the product spilled in the box.

I emailed Glossy Box but I never heard back.

I also put it in my reviews on their site- I was surprised they didn’t catch it. Really disappointed at the lack of response. My sub is up for renewal soon. Haven’t decided if I’ll renew.

I got my box today! I got everything Liz got except for the Powder. I got the Gel Eyeliner instead, with the value of $35. I don’t care about the value as much as I do as if I use the items or not. That being said.. I never used a gel eyeliner before and am happy to get to try it out. I was also scared I wouldn’t like the Perfume, as I don’t usually like flowery scents, but I tried it and I actually like it and will use it. Overall, I’m happy with my box except for the Pink Peony, as there is fragrance in the ingredient list, but I noticed it is low on the list, so I may try it. Not sure yet though.

My box was a little different, the powder was smaller and much darker. It says blush, had no shimmer.I’m sure I’d love it if I weren’t a pale redhead. Still, that’s the risk of a sub box, not a deal breaker; however, that perfume is awful. Whether you like roses or not, it smells very strong, with a baby powder and bathroom aerosol combination. I’m sorry if someone else likes it, but it is the epitome of the stereotype of “old lady perfume.” It lingers. Works well for vacating a room, though. I tossed it.

Does anyone who got the powder know if its supposed to come sealed? Liz?

My box arrived today. Eve by Eve’s products were not listed as an option at all. In addition to the Estee Edit, Pink Gel coat, and the L’eau de Rose (which everyone receives) my insert said I would get two of 5 items listed. One of the five is the Schwarzkopf hair products that Liz listed. Oddly enough I received the one for course hair which I do not have.

The four remaining possibilities are: thermal spa water ($14 value), Korres eye shadow in white ($18 value), Nutraluxe brow prime & extend duo ($29 value), and Dome Beauty diamond shadow (colors vary, value $29). I received the Dome eye shadow in Quartz. No high value possibilities.

This is my last box. I cancelled last week before the box even arrived.

I got the BC Moisture Kick Beauty Balm. I got a powder, but mine is Eve by Eve’s Flawless Finish Mineral Powder.

I just received my Glossybox today and I was so happy to see the same box that Liz received ❤️ Love the powder and the pink gel coat. The rose perfume smells really good too.

I’d really like to join to try it for a few months but the free mascara for signing up does not interest me. I’m sad I missed the 3 boxes for $15.99 promotion. That would get me to sub instantly.

Does anyone know how often they run a discount code promotion?

I would actually prefer the lip liner or eyebrow product over the more expensive powder. I have several unused powders already. An $84 value for a $21 box is a good value in my opinion. I’ll use everything but the hair product. Just waiting for that pretty pink box to show up 😁

I sometimes get the same box, and sometimes I don’t. While I sometimes feel disappointed, I have never felt like the box was a poor value. The thing I hate about Glossybox is that I’m so low on the shipping rotation. I get them a long time after others do. But, other than that, the boxes always have things either I want to try or make good gifts. So, it’s worth the $21 for me.
