GlossyBox Mother’s Day Limited Edition Box Review

I have received my box yesterday and I love it! Even though I will only keep the Vichy booster and maybe the nail polish, everything else will make excellent gifts. I have even ordered a second one for $25 – you can’t beat this price (CAD $40).

I totally love my GB Mother’s Day Box…i bought for myslef lol! I am in love with the Vichy product! It’s full size and I’m giving credit to Liz for making sure GB does what it says in sending out the advertised 6 full size items. I am also loving the Josie Maran powder…it’s so pretty and luxe! Now I just have to figure out how to use it! I also love the nail polish and curiously intrigued by the chakra oil…i know my chakra could use it. The other items were ok, nothing special for me but I’m also a skin care addict so I’m biased there.

GB consistently makes the best limited edition boxes…with the same items for everybody. 
However, their monthly boxes are another thing. Just got my May box and I’m underwhelmed. It looks strangely empty. Some months are amazing and others are just misses for me especially when it just looks like a box of samples, which it has been the last 2 months.

Got mine today and love everything! Glossybox LE never disappoint! I got the clarity Chakra boost and the nudestix in belle, a beautiful everyday mauve. I had already moisturized so haven’t tried the Vichy, but I like the Chakra, lip, brow and powder. I’m going to try the nail polish now. Very happy with this!

I’m not a subscriber and I got the fullsize Vichy.

The old question of should I or shouldn’t I ?…so did everyone get the correct product or not? I’m not a subscriber anymore because I’m one of those who always got the lesser value items in my box.But I’ve really been thinking I’d like to have this special box.So I say to myself go and look at the reviews from Liz ,lol I’m still confused if I should or not buy it

The Daily Deal just launched a limited Edition Mother’s Day Box for $24.99 or you can upgrade for $9.99 more… It should be interesting.

I can’t wait to get this box. I sure hope the items I get are full sized as promised by Glossy Box 🙂

So they managed to send Liz two free Mother’s Day boxes, but they can’t even ship my “Rituals of Sakura” box that I ordered over a month ago.

I am happy that all the items are going to be full size. i have the brow pencil up for swap because my brows don’t need anything extra other than waxing, lol. The lip pencil I will swap if I get too dark of a shade. I am excited to receive my GB. I had purchased their Rituals box and absolutely love it so much, I ordered another one.💖

I want to give my two cents worth even though it has been “cleared up” by Glossy Box. They send the influencers boxes that they know will be reviewed so that info can be given to us. The boxes are to give a clear picture of what we are to get so to speak. So the boxes they send for all of the items except for one is a trial size? Not to be weird but if I was reviewing the box I could only go with the information in the box. Glossy Box, you know boxes get reviewed, and you know Liz and the team want the same boxes customers receive so they can give us the real experience. So now, out of all of these times especially since it is a special Mother’s day, a big time for box buying, and all of these box companies are competing for our attention and monies, this happens. Glossy you have so much potential to be a good consistent box, communicate better and avoid these type of dramas in the future.

Amazing what can happen when you go to the source for clarification or justification! Bravo for doing just that. 🤗

So happy to see they have cleared it up! The person who runs their social media is to be commended for an Easter Sunday follow up. Now if only someone in the office would have dropped a note of explanation into the influencer/blogger boxes to avert this whole situation from the beginning.

I bought this box during the flash sale for $30 even though I didn’t need anything and my mom likes skincare products so the Beautyfix Mother’s Day box was more appropriate for her.

Perhaps I am in the minority in thinking this, but I really don’t think Glossybox had any nefarious intentions in this moisturizer debacle. Find it hard to believe that they’re sitting there thinking “Let’s advertise this full size product in our limited edition box to drum up enough sales and then let’s hose them over(and their moms!) and pack this deluxe size product instead. No one will ever notice! Now let’s spend the extra $$$ we squeezed out of our customers by doing this bait-and-switch on high end half&half for our office coffee pool!” It is certainly bad coordination and quality control on their end. Much like how their pamphlets will advertise the box having 3 of the following items, but only including 2. Just bad, bad, bad editors on their end.

If that really bothers you, then I understand the frustration and the need to make sure this company burns to the ground.

For me, it’s meh. It’s moisturizer in a box. I’ll live. In fact, because of all of these subscription boxes, it’ll take me awhile before I’ll get around to using it. It’ll probably land in my queue as #4 or 5. And that’s after giving away half of my stash to family members last week.

Glossybox is only a few bucks more for me than the $10 boxes out there (they are the only subscription box that I have that does not charge sales tax in California) so I am more forgiving with their inconsistencies. Had they been providing me with medical care or handling my 401k, I would be outraged.

Almost bought this but decided it was a case of FOMO even though I don’t wear nail polish or pressed powder and would maybe get a lip color I wouldn’t like. The moisturizer was the standout item to me, so I would have been disappointed with the discrepancy. Makes me wary of future Glossybox offers.

I have always loved Tge Glossybox LE boxes. This has me disappointed though. The moisturizer was the tipping point for me, which made this purchase worthwhile. This isn’t the 6 full size items advertised, and the value isn’t what they advertised either. I’m still happy with the box overall, but this dishonesty leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I do hope they address this mistake and offer an apology.

I considered buying this box even though I’m not a subscriber anymore. I wanted to wait for the review, since I’m not familiar with some of the products, and now I’m glad I did! The spoiler clearly showed the 50mL size bottle in the GB-provided picture, which this is clearly not (they’re not even the same shape). I don’t know if it was someone’s error, but basically this has turned me off from buying the box even though it’s still a great value. I got the short end of the stick during the “in every box” fiasco last year, and I don’t want to continue to support that practice by giving GB any more of my money. Very shady, indeed.

Look on the bright side ladies!! You still get 5 full size & 1 deluxe size product for $5.88 an item! You couldn’t buy generic items at Walmart for that low of a price! I’m sure someone just made a mistake at Glossybox. I’m so happy for this Box and can’t wait till mine comes!!

Even though the Vichy is not full size, I still think this is a good box. Like the others, I agree if they advertised 6 full sized items, then that’s what we should get. I’ve only been doing subscription boxes for four months and I’m really enjoying it. So far, I’m happy with Glossybox. We’ll see how it goes.

This box is amazing. If I had the money, I would totally purchase. Awesome curation.

OK, this makes no sense. The fold out sheet above (detailing items included) says that the Vichy is 1.7 oz full size at a value of $30. Why would the pamphlet say that if they had not planned on sending the 1.7 oz? There really seems to be a big error on their part here.

Sigh, another time I felt maybe Glossybox getting it together and another time I am disappointed by their fraudulent promotion. How many times have they messed up by misrepresenting contents!! Sorry Liz, I really love your reviews but smoothing over the doozy of a lie on the Vichy product really disappointing. That product size is not what they promoted in description or pictures. I would really appreciate it if you could get an explanation from them. Especially since this is a nice box and deception really unnecessary.

Liz, could you reflect to Glossybox about our concerns? Six full size products were advertised but the Vichy is clearly not. Could they swap it out to full size or two of them to make it full size volumn before they start to ship? It is my top item for this box… thanks

I really wanted more skincare, and now the only skincare item they included, isn’t even the full size they promised. Oh good…

This box looks great with one exception. It’s not the same as the box in the spoiler. The Vichy is smaller. If it was the promised size, the value would have been $160 that we were promised rather than $148. There was obviously a problem. We should have been made aware of it. It’s still a great value, but it’s disappointing that the product that many of us was most looking forward to is about half the size that we were led to expect. If they hadn’t given a value or shown the product, I wouldn’t be disappointed in this box, but given the situation, I feel cheated and lied to. Pardon my rant. I usually love Glossybox.

The old bait and switch. What happened to the Vichy? It’s almost half the size of the one in the spoiler and the main reason I got this box.
