The free box was the August 2016 box. The lipstick has orange undertones, and the De Bruyere lotion went bad and stinky within a month of me opening it. The Wella and gimmicky Too Faced product are just oil. The Invisibobble and Borghese products are terrific. Consider yourselves informed! 🙂

I just received that De Bruyere lotion a month ago ( I did the 10 dollar thing with them). Thanks for the info! I used it a few times but just now threw it away. That is so gross they are using such old products. I loved them a couple of years ago but no longer trust their products. I really only trust Allure as far as beauty boxes go for beauty product quality and safety. IMO

Thank you – I knew I’d gotten that box before; I just couldn’t remember when. I didn’t like the lipstick color, and the Too Faced was just alright. It is sort of pointless when I use makeup removing wipes anyway, and I don’t remember thinking that they did a noticeable job helping my mascara clean off more easily. I think I still have everything else from this box, unopened/unused, except for the Invisibobbles, which I gave away to a friend with a ton of hair. I already had those in dark brown (to camouflage in my hair), and they’re OK, not the miracle ponytail holders people seem to think they are. They do leave a ridge in my hair, which is fine but wavy (and high density). I have Goody and Scunci ponytail holders from Target boxes that are way better, and you get a lot more for the price.
Interesting that they still have enough of a year-old box to be able to give away presumably a large number of them. I hope now that they have new ownership (right? I think I read that), things will improve with them. If they start looking better, I’d be interested in resubscribing.

They got a new director of operations for North America around June 2016. That’s the only thing I heard resembling “new ownership.” Glossybox was already in decline at that point. The beauty sub box market is saturated, and since it’s not the novel concept it was in 2012, it’s harder for many boxes to find brands to partner with that aren’t either 1). brand new, relatively unheard of and looking to gain a foothold; 2). looking to unload dead or slow moving stock; 3). fly-by-night private label manufactured brands; or 4). the same brands that are fine, but already overexposed in sub boxes, because they’re willing to partner with all the boxes: manna kadar, supergoop, eyeko, ofra, etc.

Lol, thank you for providing this valuable service. 🙂
And yeah, the lipstick is totally not my shade…

Awww, poor little Guilty Pug! I don’t think he’s guilty, just tired. Modeling for a lipstick package is hard work!

When I got that box, I almost gave the lipstick away to a friend who’s a makeup fiend and also loves pugs. However I wanted to try to color and was immediately sorry. I should’ve trusted my gut. But the pupper is cute!
