GlossyBox Subscription Box Review + Coupon – January 2016

I love the lemon rinse, I just ordered the full size from the company’s site. I wasn’t crazy over the body lotion or lip crayon.

I love this Glossybox!! For me the last few have been Amazing!! I love everything in this box & Put it to good use!! I don’t mind all the hand lotions & Creames- especially since it’s 25 below Zero where I am! And for all the ladies where it’s warm & Hot it would work!! Nothing in my Box is going up for Swap!! If anyone does not want their hand lotion or Foot Creame or anything I would love to Swap! Please reply if your interested.

I have been receiving Glossybox since October and I have loved every single one. I think they do an amazing job of including a variety of products so that there is something for everyone and the value is great at $21 but even better at the discounted price through Gilt City. I have to say though that I love creams, lotions and anti-aging products of all types, so I love when those are included. This month I was excited to see so many European brands to try. When I started my annual subscription with the Gilt City discount, I canceled my monthly subscription. I did receive two boxes that month, but I kind of expected it because with this kind of operation once something is in production it probably takes 2-3 weeks to stop it, if that makes sense. Everything has to be packaged, labeled and ready to ship more than a day or two ahead of time. Anyway, I loved the box and didn’t mind getting two especially with one being such a great discount.

Hey

I brought the one year deal at glossy box via giltcity but the one year subscription offer is no longer available.
It says one and 6 months only on the glossy box website
Any advice?

Thanks

I got the same exact box as Liz’s except with Cutting Garden scent for the Royal Apothic creme. I love everything except the lip glide. I still love this box, 4 out 5 5 are winners in my book.

My favorite Glossybox in a long time! And an amazing thing – NO NAIL POLISH, YAY!! For the first time in a long time, I’ll use everything and don’t plan to swap anything away. Plus, I’m a lotion girl, so this one’s a good fit for me 🙂

Since the primer isn’t actually full size, my estimated value of the box is about $48.

I got the same box as Liz, except my body creme is a different scent (cutting garden). My favorite item is actually the clarifying treatment, even though I know it’s also the cheapest by far. I needed a new clarifier, so I’m excited to try this one.

I’m also excited to try the primer, even though I didn’t really need a new one. The body cream and foot cream are useful but kind of meh, and they seem so similar – I’m surprised they were both included in the same box.

I like the lip crayon’s formula because it isn’t drying, but I tend to prefer more opaque colors and don’t know if I’ll wear it much.

Overall, this is an ok box for me. I’ve had lots better, but I’ve also had a few worse.

This is the one beauty box that I would like to sub to, but it is so annoying that sales like Gilt City are only open to the US. I already have to pay extra for shipping to Canada – ok, I can understand that, shipping prices can be high… but why can’t I take advantage of a sale? That makes no sense.

I guess I’m in the minority but I love Glossy Box. A hand cream and a foot cream isn’t an issue to me…..I can always use both and in winter my feet get really dry. I always get what Liz gets – just with the scent/colour variations. Sure sometimes I don’t like something but there is always someone to give it to. I actually save all the things I don’t like from sub boxes and donate to women’s shelters – believe me those women are very excited to get a lipstick or nail polish and it sure makes everything seem relative

I was happy with this month’s Glossybox – I received the same items as Liz, in a different body lotion scent (Cutting Garden.) The lip pencil is convenient and easy to wear, I can never have enough lotion, and I love the lemon rinse. It seems to have helped with my dandruff. (I know. Gross. Winter. Sigh.) I like getting skin and hair care products – trying them without committing to buying an entire bottle.

This box was waiting for me when I got home from work today. I think I will use all of the items. No sharing of makeup that is the wrong shade for me this month! Thanks glossybox!

I am beyond annoyed with glossybox. I was charged for a january box, despite the fact that i cancellee last month and had the one year deal, which i started in january. This happened to me before, so i thought i made sure this didnt happen again, but still i am receiving 2 boxes and customer service is the worst. For the first time ever i am going to dispute the charge. Even though the gilt city deal was pretty good, i regret getting in bed with this company for a year. I have heard many people say they are shady, and honestly before this they were ok to me, but now unfortunately i see where they are coming from. Very disappointed:(

I got my box today and like others have said they have definitely been doing a lot of lotions lately. But I am really loving that foot cream, the smell is really nice and light… It reminds me of something but I can’t figure out what it is. So far the only thing I wouldn’t use is the lip product.

I was surprised to receive my box today, since it usually comes later in the month for me. I received the same contents as the reviewed box, but my Royal Apothic cream fragrance is “Cutting Garden,” which has a nice and light floral scent that is not very overpowering. I do not mind receiving body and foot cream because I will use them both quickly.

I will be giving the lip crayon to my sister who has a warmer complexion than I do. I am very fair skinned and the peach color on my lips washes me out. The texture is very smooth, so hopefully she’ll enjoy it more than I do.

I just got my box today and was surprised since I checked the night before last and it still said just “packed.” I did not know it shipped. I was pleased with this month. I am not really a hand cream lover (too lazy) so probably will save it for my future (PopSugar) Bingo party I want to have but the rest of the items were great. I realized I never get shampoos, hair care etc in my boxes so was really happy to get the lemon rinse.

I just received my January GlossyBox today and got the same stuff as Liz. Can’t even begin to explain how disappointed I am!!!! I activated my gilt voucher in December, never got it (it’s on his way now) and now my first box is full of creams that I specifically said I don’t use in the style quiz! What’s the point of having us take a quiz when they just give everyone pretty much the same stuff?

Please correct the info! The Emite primer is NOT full size. It is only worth $12, not $29. The Royal Apothic is full size, and the price is $14. I got these five items. The box’s value is $48.

I got the same items. ..the Diamond Heart primer is only 15ml. I estimated the box value around $30. This is my farewell box and this kinda confirms why

I got the exact same products. I’m pretty satisfied with this month’s box, but I do agree that Glossybox has been sending out quite a few creams and lotions recently.

I don’t consider all these lotions and creams valuable. I wish I could find a box subscription with color cosmetics only.

I’ve always wanted to try Me Me Me brand!

It’s a nice box from Glossy (see my ashy skin comment from before lol) and it would’ve been nicer if I had taken advantage of the $8 deal 😛

I am another one who is waiting to redeem GiltCity voucher and undecided yet. I have read numerous customer service issues here, so Glossybox needs to step up this year to improve our experiences for sure. I know the deeply discounted GiltCity price will come up every review, but this box needs to look like $21 box, not compared to $10 boxes. I am not sure what other $21 beauty boxes are out there because I can only think of BoxyCharm which I think they constantly deliver over $100 worth of products. What Glossybox can do is use their European leverage to bring us more European brands that are new or hard to get, like this primer and lip pencil this month if values cannot be met. I am ok with the variation so long as everyone’s box is fair in values and variation (such as color or scent). It seems they send out the best variation to bloggers, so I will try not to have high hopes, especially with the voucher. I did a quick research and they sent out this primer and body cream back in November or December to the UK customers. In return they are receiving the light purple eye shadow (the Glossybox brand one) in January… interesting. And I think they send out variations in Europe as well.

I have gotten 2 Glossyboxes so far and I agree, they are not particularly exciting but I do use most of the items. The Gilt deal for $8.75 a box makes the value seem very good to me. $21/month is way too much for what you get, in my opinion, and that is why I cancelled my Boxycharm subscription. The Glossybox brand eyeshadow I got last month is AWFUL though, terrible pigmentation and doesn’t last on my lids at all.

I redeemed my point and got for December and waited until end of the year to use my voucher for the next 12 months. I got an email notification saying my box was shipped sometimes last week and I got the box. It was December box. I was thrilled that my box was shipped, I thought I was going to get early now. But nope. My 1st December box doesn’t even have the items from the card they put in but for redeemed points items from web are for the items that wasn’t in the box. So confusing. 2nd December box got eye mask I got in my November box. I ended up with 2 November boxes since I redeemed for points and I got voucher when using for holiday box and instead of giving me for later and canceling for points redemption they sent me 2 same boxes. It was a bit of waste. Now, I don’t know they started counting for my 12 months starting with December but I didn’t redeem my code till end of the year. Is anyone else have same issues as I am? Or just me. I swear they probably are sick of hearing from me. Every months something is not right.
