GlossyBox Subscription Review + Coupon – February 2019

This was my first month and my last month! Paid for my subscription and got a tracking number and it sat at the same post office for 20 days. I emailed GlossyBox and they wanted to send me out a new box. No way! Not going to do that. Still waiting on a refund and I cancelled my subscription. I should have stayed with Boxycharm

I am disappointed with this month’s box. I was due to receive variant 1 but it was returned to GB due to “insufficient address”, although address is correct in my account. They reshipped a box, this time variant 5 which contained perfume, lip plump, Manna Kadar palette, VDL primer, mighty patches and a charcoal face mask. I have mature skin so have no need for the mask or patches, not interested in the palette, don’t much like the perfume (that’s okay though), which leaves me with the lip plumper and primer. Does anyone know what is in variant 1?

I cancelled glossy last month…picked up allure!

New coupon for February box for $15 is FEB15.

I cancelled my glossy box subscription today. I received more items that I’ve received before and this is happening more and more. I’m going to try something else.

I’m not sure why there seems to be some confusion on the swap site re: theRV of some items. You should be able to figure it out from the enclosed brochure.

I’ve been busy opening some old Glossyboxes from last year that I just never took time to open when they came (I know, I’m weird). I opened my May 2018 box last night and it actually contained a small *bottle* of this perfume. I really liked it. Not sure if I need to keep this new spray though, or not.

I think I’m burnt out on sub boxes. I’ve subscribed to atleast 19 different boxes on/off for more than 2 years and now only have 3 Boxycharm, fabfitfun and Popsugar. Thinking about rejoining Ipsy and cancelling boxy. I’m just on product overload……The only reason i stay with Fabfitfun is because i love Living Proof products but hate paying full price so i stock up during add-ons and edit sales. I used to spend hours on this blog but ive cut back to once a day or every other day. Too many boxes with same stuff… Maybe some. Day when i use my products up the boxes will change up a bit and ill be ready again. Sorry just had to vent. Hubbys happy lol

I received variation 4. Received the eye serum, kenra hair spray, rose quartz lip gloss, Manna Kadar eye shadow and the spot treatments. I already had lip gloss which I like. Happy about the eye serum. Was looking for a new serum. Can always use hair spray. So I feel like a definitely received my money’s worth. Perfume is nice.

Thanks! I can’t wait to try the eye serum and Arizona perfume too. Odd, I thought the dry shampoo wasn’t a variant item. No biggie either way to me. What else did you get in your box?

I’m becoming so disappointed with GlossyBox. I’ve been a faithful subscriber for a number of years now, with no discounts at all. My profile indicates my preferences, and certainly all of the surveys I’ve answered let them know that I am an older woman. Not only did I not receive the one item that I would have loved, the eye serum, I received the same tiny dry shampoo sample that I had received from them several months ago. That horrible MK product is beyond explanation. I don’t know what they are thinking. I have several other subs that I am loving, and at the moment IPSY plus is absolutely blowing them out of the water. I hope they shape up soon.

It’s like finding an attractive boyfriend, but on the inside he’s really totally lame!

Glossybox used to be SO FINE. Not now.

BTW, to the reviewer- The Pssst dry shampoo was first made in the early 1970’s, then discontinued for decades.

It’s always been a drugstore quality item.

The HUT group is not curating high quality items like this box used to have. Just my opinion.

HATED this box! Wanted the eye serum, got face cleanser. Wanted mascara, got the pan duo. Don’t have zits, hate dry shampoo and parfum gives me headaches. YAY for lip gloss. Ha!

most wanted item (mascara) not included and instead offered powder duo, lame.
Perfume, already had from another box.
Glossybox dropped the ball.
cancelled subscription

really really disappointed by the manna kadar swap. 1. because i’m a masara junkie and 2. because the value of the replacement is a fraction of the mascara we were supposed to get.

i would have rather they skipped it and sent me the mascara later. boxycharm has much better curation for the price range. i’m cancelling my glossbox.

it says on the glossy product insert that the mascara we were supposed to receive was valued at $29 and instead they send out a sample eye shadow pan valued at $6?? personally I dont even think this box, as a whole, is worth the $21 I paid for it. Glossybox used to be one of my favorite subscriptions but I feel like the boxes just keep getting worse every month.

The box is totally cute, but the products are nothing I want. Maybe the blemish patches or serum. Nothing needed. And the manna kadar is the same one I’ve received in multiple boxes and gifted. I know the swap site is overloaded with them. So it would be almost impossible to swap as well.

I don’t like complaining because the point of these boxes for me is to have a fun little luxury. However, I am not happy with the dry shampoo (seriously, how many can one person have?) sent instead of the eye serum. The Arizona perfume was also in a previous box so I don’t want or need another one. I emailed them, I do hope they make changes to listen to client’s preferences. On the otherhand, the box itself is lovely and the lip plumber is something I look forward to trying. I also did not see a mascara.

According to their website, I’m getting variation 2, but I don’t know what that includes. It shows that there are 5 different variations! I also received variation 2 last month. I didn’t pay attention in previous months, so I don’t know if I always get #2 or not.

I’m interested in swapping my Skin Chemists lip gloss for Mighty Patches. I have 2. If anyone is interested, let me know and I’ll put them up for swap asap.

I am one of the ones who cannot stand dry shampoo. Each one I have tried, and it has been probably 19 through subs, makes my hair feel so gross, stiff and almost paste like feeling, just yucky.

According to Fragrantica, what you’re smelling in the perfume is “solar accord.” I didn’t even know that was a thing! https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Proenza-Schouler/Arizona-48290.html

If anyone just wants to sell the Box alone let me know

I used to love Glossybox. But they have changed.
