I feel exactly the same way about your comparison! The only thing stopping me from staying subbed to glossy is the customer service. :/I kind of think of Glossybox as a more upscale Birchbox with way bigger sample sizes (often full-size items -- this month, four out of the five items are full size) and Boxycharm as an Ipsy box with way bigger sample sizes (almost everything is full-size also; some months, everything is full-size and others four out of the five things are full-size). Glossy is my favorite of the four boxes I get (Glossy, Boxy, Birch, and Ipsy). You definitely get more body/skin/haircare than makeup in Glossy, although there is almost always at least one makeup item. Most of the things that I have loved in my subscription boxes and have bought more of have come from my Glossybox (e.g., Teadora Lip Butter, OCC Lip Tar, Kneipp bath oils). Usually in my Boxycharm, there is one thing I l love, one thing I think "WTF were they thinking?" and three things that are kind of in the middle. In Boxycharm last month, there was a full-size Tarte Maracuja Bronzing Serum (worth $47, love it!) and there was also a sheet of these weird jewelry looking temporary tattoos (what am I going to do with those?!!!!).
