GlossyBox Limited Edition Karl Lagerfeld Box Review

Firstly this looks cheap, not well thought out and does not look to work for all skin tones. I would love for brands to think about universally friendly colors and products.

Secondly, Karl Lagerfeld is a terrible person, so I wouldn’t spend a cent on something like this.

I bought 5 boxes and gave them as gifts to my girlfriends. Can’t beat the price and I come here for subscription box information. I could care less what he said or will say. I also purchased Allure for Kat Von D. Her business is her own and could care less what her stance is on anything. If I like the products I’m all in. I’m not coming here to vote for President because after all look how that turned out. Lol. Great review Liz keep doing what you’re doing. After all it’s because of you that most of us are sub addicts and loving it!

I’m sick of the Fake outrage by people, I wonder if they go this hard on any friends or family members who say ignorant things? Now stop expecting companies to be political all the times because they are in the bussines to make Money not to please entitlement individuals.

Red lipstick and black eyeliner? Groundbreaking.

Does anyone realize that these collaborations take months or longer and his comments about the me too thing might have been made after Glossybox had already signed on? He is an eccentric designer who gets more people to buy his collections by saying something controversial. You all have contributed to showing that he has made some kind of impact on you and you know his brand because of it. You feed the fire.
And by no means am I saying he was correct or anything like that. But lets just stop making everything, especially a make up sub box, a political statement. Go for Slut Box if you want politics. I truly believe that Glossybox was not trying to make any political statement, they just were doing a colab with a high fashion name.
I am glad I saw it reviewed. I think the colors are universal even if the packaging might feel a little low end. But that swatch of the lip liner has me tempted to grab one.

I just don’t understand why any LE box would be full of items that anyone that gets sub boxes and beauty boxes has a plethora of, I could go several years and not need an eyeliner, blush or lipstick. At least they weren’t that horrible nude color I guess.

I respect people’s moral stance on various issues but man, y’all have a LONG list of companies to boycott if you don’t want to be involved with Karl Lagerfeld. That man has an enormous impact on the world of fashion.

I work with survivors of sexual trauma. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that we withdraw financial support and free advertising for men who minimize the results of it. The harm they do is enormous, both in trivializing the effects on victims and normalizing the practice of abuse. I’m disappointed with the decision of MSA.

I agree with Jackie – the packaging looks cheap, especially the lipstick: the cap doesn’t stay in place, the bullet is wobbly and the overall impression is indeed that of ELF. Now, I love ELF, but ModelCo charges different prices for the same quality. The lipstick is on the sheer side and not creamy enough for my tastes. The blush I have already received and don’t care for neither. The lip gloss is a ridiculous size along with the lipstick and I don’t wear any – gift pile. The eyeliner will be gifted, as well, as I don’t use these. The brush is good. Now the lipliner was a total shock – it is the best one I’ve ever used. Overall, feels like a $20 box.

I did not order this box for personal reasons and also because I can not wear red, some of us older ladies look like old ladies of the night wearing red (Not, to insult anyone SOME of us) Red never did suit my skin tone only wear bright pinks or berries.

I have never heard of this man before but I read about his comments in early post, so I’m guessing if some readers knew about his controversial comments I’m guessing Glossybox did too and still decided to worked with him. So everyone getting upset about this is being ridiculous because the box is already here and done with.

I love how the red lipstick looks on the skin. Seeing in the tube I would never have thought to try it. I love the blush as well.

Karl Lagerfeld aside –

Something about the makeup looks cheap to me. Like drug store brand packaging maybe? For a lipliner that’s more expensive than most high end brands (Charlotte Tilbury, UD, Makeup Forever, etc.) it looks like it could be from ELF. The little Karl on the blush reminds me of the Barbie/Mac colab and looks silly.

ModelCo isn’t a makeup brand I’m super familiar with besides seeing it in sub boxes, so perhaps that’s why for me this looks super underwhelming.

Easy pass for me I’m sick of sub boxes catering to pale skinned women then want to turn around and call themselves feminist, none of these colors are a good match for my medium skin tone but that’s a great value for the price.

No way in hell.

I still don’t think this box should have been reviewed. Although it focuses on the products, it still provides Karl Lagerfeld unnecessary exposure. He is an awful misogynist.
