I wonder if it can work if you're a current subscriber, otherwise, I'll cancel the current monthly one. I was able to use the same card though. Hopefully it can, just because that guarantees them payment for the next 3 months. That's $6/dollar discount per box, as I'm in Cali.

 
To all of those who subscribe is it worth it? I was given the first promotional box and I am very interested in signing up, I have birch box but there samples seem so sub-par these days... But 21 dollars seems like a lot of money. Should I give it a try? July's box seemed kinda underwhelming so I am reluctant, but the other boxes seemed really good... Just looking for honest opinions! Thanks :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also when are glossybox's shipped and generally received? I live in California if that helps!

 
I think for the majority of the MUTs that it's been hit or miss. Great if you get a really good box, most of the billing issues have subsided after last month. The problem in itself is if you get a disappointing box (which is often the other box variation), which has happened consistently to me since I subscribed in July. The shampoo didn't excite me in the least bit, but everyone got that.

April/May- awesome, doubt that level will ever be repeated.

June- Vbeauté (by the way nearly empty and most girl felt like it was too expensive for further investment)+ Ofra eyeshadow vs. Kinerase+Shea Butter+ ShowOff Mascara 

July- Any of these two: Ofra Eyepencil,  Senna doubledose lacquer (gloss),  Figs & Rouge lipbalm, Senna Eyeshadow trio (the first two and last two were the most common variations)

I got the VBeaute+Ofra eyeshadow and the Ofra Eyepencil+ Senna doubldose lacquer.

I kinda wish they even it out a bit more. It's quite obvious to me, which one has a greater perceived value and one probably better suited.

Hopefully they step it up. I like the presentation, but I also wished their magazine would be put to better use like explain how to use these products, etc. It seems like they just threw it in the box.

 
I actually really like Glossybox. I appreciate that the sample sizes are really deluxe so I can get a good feel for whether or not I will like a given product. Their product choices haven't all been the best for me but I am not much of a makeup wearer and the choice of what makes a product a winner is very subjective. Also, the products have been getting better over time, IMO, so I am hopeful I will be even happier with them as the months go by. I adore the box they send - I happily reuse them, they are big, sturdy and pretty and I actually consider them "value added" for the price of the subscription. I never had any problems with my card charges, so I was lucky there. The times I called CS they were very harried but helpful and polite. I don't see myself dropping the sub anytime soon.

Yes PrettyInPowell is actually the name of the vlog me and my roommate do together on youtube :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> were both from San Francisco so Powell seemed like a fitting name and so did the art work! and I can't take credit for the art as I didn't do it -- but I fell in love with it! :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I do have a subscription - honestly, I'm torn myself about GB lol. I didn't sign up for their first box in May because I wanted to see what people received. Turns out it was a great selection of products, so I subscribed in June. I ended up winning the May box via a GB Twitter chat and absolutely loved it. I also really loved June's box (you can check out my blog reviews if you'd like - in my signature below).

July's box, however, left a bit to be desired. I was actually missing a product and was just overall disappointed in the brands featured, especially for $21/month. I'm keeping GB for one more month before I decide whether to keep the sub or not, three strikes and you're out policy lol. From what's been posted on their Facebook page, it seems like this might be a good box. You can always try a month and see if you like it!

 
Ok I am doing my surveys now.  1st one up Ofra eyebrow pencil.  At the end of the survey it asked for my email.  I hope they are not giving our email to Ofra or selling it!

 
I canceled GB after the July box. I had exploded stuff in my June box, my May box I didn't get until June 21st (the June box shipped 3 days later) , and the July box just wasn't that exciting to me. I cannot see spending 21.00 on a pink box every month anymore. I am hoping they get their stuff together and then maybe I might resubscribe in a few months.

 
For some reason, I can fill out every survey except for my First Aid Beauty shaving cream one from last month. Every time I do that one, it resets afterwards like I never touched it. Ah well!
