If you cancel glossybox then resub do your glossydots stay with you? I have 500 (though no idea why as I have had 10 boxes and gave feedback on all items so should have 1000:mad:) They talked me round in circles about where the others went, then just ignored me! Anyway I'm thinking I should stick it out till I finally get the free box.

I'm sure i remember reading that you can email them and they reinstate them. they might have changed that though with so many people cancelling and resubscribing every month now.

PurpleButterfly - I have hazel eyes as well and love my purple and dark blue eyeliners The only reason I un-subbed from Glossybox was the inequality of the boxes they send out. It's such a shame as they send out some excellent things but I couldn't take the disappointment of seeing great boxes on blogs and then getting something rubbish instead! I'm tempted to re-sub for the birthday box though...

I sub and unsub each month to Glossy Box and my points are the same each time I log in so I'm pretty certain they stay with you. You can only redeem them if you are subbed though.

I think it's a little annoying about the inequality of the Glossyboxes too.

I got the brown eyeliner and little disappointed - would have loved the green or purple!

However I decided to buy the year's subscription with the £50 topcashback cashback, so am paying £7.08 per box (delivered), definitely worth it for that I think.

Were they decent sizes in the Glossybox?

It would drive me mad knowing other people got different items in their boxes. Especially if they got things that I wanted!

The eyeliner, and lip-balm were full-sized (£11.75, and £3.29 respectively). The Caudalie serum was 10ml (worth approx £9.33), Monu Bodycream 30ml (£23 for 200ml, can't be bothered to work out exactly but worth approx just over £3, some people had more pricier alternative items), Straightening balm 15ml (£17 for 178ml, so just over a £1 worth approx. Again can't be bothered to work out exactly).

My box was worth the money paid, although some people got a much higher priced product for their 4th item (bodycream), which bumped the cost of their box considerably.

Still happy with mine, although disappointed that there was such a marked difference with one of the items between boxes. Will wait and see how Glossybox address this discrepancy. They must know customers are dissatisfied.

After initially poo-pooing the idea when my friend first suggested these to me, I am worryingly now becoming a beauty box addict!

After plenty of research, a few months ago I settled for Carmine, but only managed to get one (ok) box from them they decided to stop their services so now I currently subscribe to Glossybox, SheSaid & as of yesterday, LuxBox.

I picked up my first Glossybox & SheSaid boxes from work yesterday and I am fully aware they fluctuate from month to month and person to person but glossybox was my preferred box out of the two, with more products I'd use/buy. Although last months SheSaid box looked great (hence my new subscription!) this months was a little so-so, with only 50% of the products that appeal. But thats the thing with beauty boxes, they can't all appeal to everyone!!

I have high hopes for the next Glossybox as it's their birthday this month so if anyone is thinking about these boxes, now would be the time to try (imho) and as already mentioned in here, go through topcashback. I didn't, unfortunately, but I've emailed to see whats the best time of the month to switch over without missing a box.

Hope this helps someone, if not, thanks for allowing me a platform to talk about my new addiction!

Edited to add - SheSaid Beauty is on topcashback too

Looking forward to mine hoping it will be there when I get home from work

And Sawan82, I'd love to see what you had in your Amarya box! I'm hoping this doesn't entice me though.... (do I really *need* 4 beauty boxes?! Waaa!)

Did everyone get the email regarding the revised referal programme from Amarya?

It seems we both now get a £10 off £30 spend voucher instead of a free box each.
