My thoughts?
The reason I decided to purchase another beauty subscription box in addition to my other subscriptions was because I've watched so many videos of subscribers in Europe and Australia rave about the amazing products that they received from their GlossyBoxes. I expected nothing less from the Canadian GlossyBox, especially when the press boxes were released and included a full sized Essie nail polish and a nice sized Oscar de la Renta body lotion.
All in all, I wasn't totally impressed with the inaugural box. I guess I wrongly assumed we would be receiving the same products in our boxes.
As well, when I subscribed back in January, I completed the beauty profile, yet my box included products I asked not to receive (specifically anti-aging and perfume). I double checked my beauty profile online and once I resubmitted it I received this message "Your beauty profile will not affect the contents of your GLOSSYBOX at this time, but we will be using this information in future to customize the contents of your box to your indivudual style and beauty preferences. Thank you."
I was really hoping GlossyBox would blow the others out of the water, but unfortunately it wasn't so. Hopefully they will step up their game in the coming months.

Until next month ...
Yup, I was disappointed that the press got the best boxes as well! Hopefully this months box will be better and the same for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI've given up on Glymm. Four boxes and three of them were missing items or had damaged items in there. There customer care was terrible.
So, my $10 will be spent on trying out something from the cheaper makeup lines that I've neglected over the years!
