I am definitely trying this. It's so cute
Man, I am so in love with Glossybox I am happy when they charge my card even its an extra $1.86 from the $21. I still use the products months later!

That Show Off mascara was so bad... I am a mascara lover who can't say no to any mascara, even if it doesn't meet my usual standards. The Show Off mascara certainly wore well, but I don't know what was wrong with the brush... I had such major goopy lashes from it, even if I wiped the brush along the side (which I know is something of a no-no). I tried many times but always got the same goopy sloppy chunky result. At first I thought it was just because it was a new tube (I often have this problem with any given new tube of mascara the first 3-4 uses), but I can't even use it as a second coat atop a different mascara. I don't think I've ever experienced a mascara experience this negative, to be honest!Originally Posted by gypsiemagic /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I got the shipping email yesterday and cancelled this morning. I am starting to hit the breaks on the sample subscriptions (looking in my sample drawers is a reality check) and Glossybox is the most expensive and the easiest to resubscribe.
anddd I got a not so cheap purse this month, so I am over my limit anyway
I have these weird mixed feelings with Glossybox, on one hand I like the types of products they send, as well as the sizes, but the fact that they have usually been pretty awful colors (like clearanced shades) really rubs me the wrong way. I am more likely to enjoy a small sample of a product from a familiar brand then some obscure "show off" mascara etc. We shall see what Sept brings.
I had the SAME problem and it kept getting worse. I actually really liked the mascara too

I had the same problem at first so I ended up, like you, wiping off excess product on the inside part of the tube before applying (and I swipe the brush off probably 5 or 6 times). This method really works well for me and now I absolutely love the mascara! I only use one coat, and I use the convex side of the brush to coat my lashes instead of the concave side because I still found that to be a bit clumpy. Works fabulously!
yeah..i think the mascara really gave me uber plumped lashes...but being that I am not a dramatic mascara person, i used it like twice. I normally just coat my lashes with clear lash conditioner, or if I use mascara, it's almost always colored mascara. I love the bit of color instead of the blk or brown, but a good one is hard to find (most tend to irritate my eyes...dunno why).
Ha! You are an addict. I did the same, but I am really loving my Glossyboxes. They started out a little uneven IMO but this past box blew me away with the Ellis Faas. I actually went out and bought 2 more of the Glazed Lips and have another coming to me through the swap board. I really like the Ole and the hair oil is, like you said, nothing special, but definitely something I am using. The primer and nail polish went up for trade but even so, all of the products were great sizes and I think it is unrealistic to expect every item in the box to be a winner - as long as I have a couple winners in those nice deluxe sizes, I feel like I am getting my money's worth.
Ooh, I might pull it back out of the wastebasket and give it another try... It wears really well, just the application is cruddy.
I don't mean to sound like an enabler here lol, but good for you! HeheOriginally Posted by moonbunny7 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I gave in to temptation and decided to subscribe

Yay! Hope it works out for you! Basically, as long as you get off as much excess as you can and use the other side of the brush so your lashes are coming into less contact with any excess that remains (if that makes sense), the mascara works great. Nice long lashes! The packaging could use a little work, though.
