Do you get ALL of the items show on the November box webpage?  Or just some of them?  Thanks!

I'm liking the Skin&Co Roma Truffle Serum, but can't decide if it's worth purchasing. I'm not entirely sure if it's doing anything special! Let me know if you have one you want to trade :)

I have 2 bottles. I have used one bottle twice (very small amt) and it irritated my skin. I tend to be very sensitive. I'm willing to trade out both of those. What do you have to offer? 

I actually emailed them over the weekend and (politely) asked about the bb cream, and they sent me a reply on monday saying that they would send me a new one. I was actually really impressed with their customer service, bc in the times I've contacted other subscription companies (ahem bb...), have gotten way delayed banned responses :| 

now as to whether i'll actually get the new bb cream...we'll see lol

My June box had something leaking all over that ruined the pink box and of course the item was damaged. Oh yeah, the AHAVA body wash. On top of that I didn't GET the June box until JULY after JULY'S payment was made which irked me. The June replacement finally did come - in AUGUST and of course another item in the box was leaking and I NEVER did get the AHAVA body wash from Glossybox, thankfully AHAVA's PR was kind enough to replace it for me at Cosmoprof's trade show but honestly the experience I had with GB makes me stay away from signing back up no matter how good the products are. It's too risky at $21 a month to maybe get the product(s) intact.

That's nuts! I feel your pain. 

Their customer service is so shockingly bad it's bordering on abusive.

What are your favorite subs? 

I am fairly new to this (except for a long standing relationship with New Beauty Test Tube)

and I've recently subscribed to BB, GB, SS, PopSugar and Ipsy.

I am testing out a bunch until I find my favs.

Would love to hear your pov.

Thanks!

I am really glad to hear that. I hope my situation is the exception not the rule. I really want to love GB, but their customer "dis-service" is making that impossible! 

Enjoy the blush. I hope it arrives safe and sound for the holidays!

 Hi Ladies-

When you use the serum and moisturizer/night cream/day cream, how much do you put on?  I'm very conservative and am wondering if I'm not using enough to be beneficial.

My average is about the size of a pea.

I use about a dime-sized blob of the truffle serum and then maybe a pea-sized amount of moisturizer on top (a little less than usual).

By the way that whole blush falling out of the pan thing? Count me in. :/

:-/  Yeah, it's like it was never adhered.  The back of mine is even speckled with silver from the pan.  I have no idea how that happened.  They said they'd replace it for me, and here's hoping because other than the error rendering it mostly unusable, the product is wonderful.

It totally made the whole box worthwhile for me. Such a shame - mine broke the second time I used it. And worst of all, I can't even go out and buy a replacement!

I sent them a message about it as well, but I doubt I'll get a replacement. Mine's still kind of useable. 

Yeah, I thought about trying to fix the few chunks that I have left, but they need to know there was a manufacturing error too.  It's not like I dropped it; it wasn't attached in the first place.

I thought this would be at least something good to practice fixing since it's pretty much a loss and I allegedly am getting another one.

I saw some girls who experienced the same problem so I thought it would be better to share here -

I was one of the girls who bought their 3-month subscription using COSMO code back in Oct and got the Oct box with no problem. However, I read that not only me, but some other girls didn't receive anything for Nov - not only no shipping notice, but no order confirmation from the very beginning.

So I contacted Glossybox using the online form, and waited 4 days before getting a reply, they reverted nicely and asked for a status update - whether I still didn't receive anything. I said no and pointed out that there was not even an order confirmation for me.

No replies since, but 3 days after I replied their email, I received a "Your package has shipped!!" email from this weird sender namely "US Fulfilment Center". As all my other purchases are already on their way and I have all the tracking numbers, I suspect that this is the missing November Glossybox they sent to me.

Definitely not a pleasant experience but I appreciate their effort in making things up. Though I'm not going to continue with my subscription after the 3 months (or 4 months as I "should" get one month free), because I really don't want to spend my valuable time in these kind of matter ever again.

 I got that same super weird ass email out of nowhere. I'm not expecting another GB and I have no clue what it could possibly be from.

i got an email saying that too and i had no idea where it was from!

ETA another weird thing is that the tracking number doesn't work for me.

i ordered two but only got one of those weird emails. maybe its something else we all have in common, like another subscription

^ I got one too, and that I was credited 100 points? I have no idea what they're talking about since I received my Nov bag but thought it might be a mistaken when they meant that they were shipping me a new BB cream? :\

That sounds like a Birchbox reply.

I got this email, too. Except mine was from Glossybox saying "your box has shipped!" I received my R29 box last week, so I have no idea why they're sending me another box....??? I signed up for another 3 months on 11/28, so I was hoping they weren't sending me a November box to start the 3 months, but I don't think that's the case. I think they've got some logistical issues and have sent most R29ers 2 boxes this month.

I'm supposed to get the 2nd box today or tomorrow. Wonder if it'll be the R29 or regular November box?

Okay!

I got the same shipping e-mail and I have never subscribed to Glossybox.
