GlossyBox Subscription Box Review + Coupon – September 2017

I finally got my glossydot box and it’s the same as the review.

That nail polish I’ve never heard of…I washed my car 2 days after I put it on and it didn’t budge! Still looks new. I’m impressed especially after trying the julep polish they sent that didn’t even last a day.

I signed up for $10/month for 3 months deal back in July and September was my last box and I just cancelled. I only received September box out of 3 because the customer service responded my VERY OLD email and updated my shipping address and missed my company name out of address and the shipment was rejected! I am still dealing with the customer service to see if I can get the 2 boxes or they issue me the refund. Auto message saying “we will respond in 10-14 days is unacceptable as business. It should be 24-48 hours. In the past I got a response within reasonable amount of time where I dealt with broken items or other issues. And then yesterday I emailed them about redeeming my Glossydots for October box and they responded today…. very frustrating.

As to September box, I received the nail polish in Pretty Wild and Vendome Paris eye shadow in caramel color. Both of them are discontinued colors… but good news is they are colors I like.

For Lancome Genifique Sensitive Serum, do any of you recommend mixing the two liquids in a small pot and keep them? Seems like you only need a little bit, so I was wondering how you can keep it air tight and use it for as long as I can.

I keep getting this error.
“FALL15″ coupon code is not valid.

Has anyone used their glossydots for a box? I’m still waiting for it to arrive, did you get it around the same time you usually do or was it way later? Please don’t be eye shadow.

I would be upset too if I hadnt received the clay mask last month. I like it, I use it twice a week.

The shadow from Vendome is BIG & the colour is a beautiful smoky brown (Bon Bon) but it’s one of those magnetic thingies & I gave MUA Cousin my Z Palette because 1) I didn’t want to be bothered with that risk of falling out/being messy, & 2) all the other samples I had collected sucked.

I got Pretty Wild from Morgan Taylor, which is like a purplish griege. I’m not wild about it as a whole 10 finger hand polish, but could see it as an accent colour for Fall.

Really, REALLY wish beauty subs would steer clear of polishes though (unless that’s your whole sub, or can be opted out of.) Since I’m too inept to handle my own mani/pedis, I let a pro take care of them – so I stopped buying bottles years ago. As it is, I still have too many to last my remaining lifetime! With the exception of a horrendously bright coral/fluorescent orange polish I got from Allure, at least the colours from subs this year were suitable for my skintone & ones I like.

From Pureology, I wound up with Hydrate Sheer which looks like it would be a good fit for my fine curly hair. Best part it’s cone free 😁

All in all, it wasn’t a life changing box, but overall I like the products & will use them. Not a bad way to lose $10!

I got this exact same box and I am pretty happy with it. I’m going on a Glossybox break because I have way too much of every kind of product they send, but this seems like a decent note to go out on. I don’t have the same animosity toward all things Manna Kadar that many seem to have, and I’m happy to try the Lancôme and the clay mask.

Instead of the full size clay mask I got a sample size eye shadow. That is not even trade!

I also cancelled due to horrible customer service and the fact that they contradicted themselves on 2 different occasions about their policy or rules on how they operate just to cover them and not have to make things right. Like one occasion they charged my PayPal for a sub. to had been cancelled for 11 months and mailed the box to a address that I don’t even live anymore and guess what?? Ask my fault so I don’t get a refund or a box sent to my actual address!! I’m just out! So finally getting a response after a 30+ day wait was pointless and absolutely false. SMH…

Got this box yesterday with the eye shadow. It was my last box of the 3 box deal.My disappointment has been about the poor customer service. They promise replacement of broken but they do not follow thru on it. Buyer beware-if you like to gamble, this is the sub for you.I would have signed up for 6 months more if cs was better. Glossybox needs to get their act together quickly.

I hate to say it, but none of these products are exciting… I used to subscribe to this box like 7 years ago and cancelled after 2-3 months, because of the same reason. And by the looks of it, this sub haven’t improved at all 🙁 same boring items.

Glossy box customer service is my worst disappointment ever! I really enjoyed their boxes, I would love this one, but horrendous customer service is my pet peeve. 😞

Liz, I’ve been loving the box breakdown cost you have been doing recently. I think it’s an awesome idea! Hope everyone on MSA starts doing it for their reviews also! Love it!!

This will be my last GB after 3+ years. It’s just not getting any better and the boxes don’t really excite me anymore. It’s a real bummer!!

The nail color, mask and glo are full sized and value is $80. I got two of these boxes. One for $10 on a 3 month special and second on a twelve month sub for $13.50. I’m happy with the $80 box.

So glad I cancelled, nope, not excited at all

One question, how are they getting away with saying there will be 5 full size products than changing it to only 3???? That’s called bait and switch and is completely illegal.

I’m interested in this sub box after reading this review mainly for the shampoo and conditioner.. I have really thin hair and need something that won’t weigh it down & see it some volume. I think I’m done with Birchbox, it’s been 4 months and I’m fed up with getting teeny samples that aren’t really even catered to my profile.. I know it’s just $10 but for me personally I’m getting a lot more out of Ipsy for the same price so I think it’s time to drop them…. 😟

I received this same box except that instead of the clay mask I received an eyeshadow color from ‘Vendome Paris beaute’ Would have much rather received the mask!

As a long time user of Lancome, here is a quick note about the Genefique. Use a small drop or two. No need for more. It should spread like water on your skin. Putting too much of the serum on can create the tackiness that Liz was talking about. This sample should last a couple weeks or more with only using a drop or two.

I used to love this box. I cancelled a few months ago, and while I don’t regret cancelling – the boxes have become very inconsistent – I would have been happy with this one. The nail polish is gorgeous, and it’s nice that they sent both shampoo and conditioner. While I wouldn’t necessarily use anything else, they are very giftable products.

I hope I get that color nail polish, so pretty.
I use skinceuticals ferluric acid and it’s $160 for an oz so I’m hoping this works as well so I can save money to buy more boxes.
Ugh, I have a problem. I didn’t like my sephora play box so I went out today and bought the skin wonderland box to console myself.

The only thing I like is the clay mask. I got it in another box and it works great on my skin. Glad this is my last box.

This is the box I got, including the nail polish color. I love it!!! The clay mask, nail polish and Glow are my favs. The rest is a bonus. 😉

The most impressive thing here is that 4ml of serum will last you a “few weeks!” 😮

There’s a good amount and mix of stuff this month, but nothing that really excites me – no FOMO here. Now, if only the CEW box I ordered 26 days ago would ship…
