  • I got my GB, I must remember to use my Glossydots on 1st Jan so I can unsub again soon!

    I got

    Mary Greenwell perfume. I like her but not impressed by this.
    GB blush,
    Seche nail lacquer in Simplicity, pale pink,
    Rituals Magic Touch body cream,
    Seba-med Anti-dry Day Defence Cream (I did say I had dry skin, maybe why I got this?)
    Sleek lipstick in Amped - bright fushcia! (I have warm skin and this is definitely for cool tones but it made me laugh to see how bonkers it looked on me. Just a shame I can't swap it now!)

    It's the usual story for me, I thought it was an okay box until I looked at what I could have got.....

    Ah, jealous, I'd actually have used that! Always seems to be the way with these boxes.

    Has anyone else re-subbed to Lux?
    New forum. New sig. Yes I still need to lose 2 stone! :smiley:
  • Well I got the December GB today... urg. Spoilers in white text below -

    Lemon by Mary Greenwell edp - I was excited when I saw this, love the smell of lemons. But it smells like old lady floral perfume to me, absolutely horrid!

    Sleek True Colour lipstick in Stiletto, a matte bright red. Awful, again. I'd never wear this.

    Seche Nail Lacquer in Memoire which has to be the ugliest nail polish colour I've ever seen.

    La Potion Infinie - this may actually be good for my skin, looking forward to using it, not that I can afford the full size! :eek:

    Rituals Magis Touch body cream - smells AMAZING, going to give it to my mum.

    GB Blusher - I don't use the stuff, I have rosacea, waste for me.

    So, two things out of 6, one of which I'm not keeping and the other is good for about 4 uses if I use it sparingly. Glad I cancelled, just wish GB had been more prompt in replying about me cancelling so I wouldn't have got this box at all. Oh well.

    I got exactly the same accept I got the Seche Nail Lacquer in the shade Nouveau. I agree how amazing the Rituals body lotion smells ....yummy.

    Yes i resubbed 2 Lux only for December to see how the change over is....Im so annoyed they have put the dispatch date back...makes no sense.

    Re subbed 3 months to Joliebox AGAIN have basically seen everything thats in the box already on their website....not intentionally. Blinkin Olay rears its head once again. The box isnt great!!!

    I thought they'd postponed the date to try, and get more people to re-sub, so was hoping that someone else on here had. I don't want them postponing again. I really do like their boxes, so am hoping the quality remains the same.

    I would have liked your Glossybox, but am not prepared to gamble on getting a duff one. Would be just my luck. :D

  • Ahh I haven't read the GB spoilers but I sense this month's box is not good! I only resubbed for christmas as I anticipated this box would be a good one, last years christmas box was really good! Oh well, will have to come to terms with it- beauty boxes are not what they were when they started!:-(

    Got my glossy today as well I got:

    Rituals Magic Touch - 70ml sample
    Sleek Make Up i-Divine eye pallette in Oh So Special - Full Size
    Seche Nail Polish in Chocolate - Full Size (not sure on the colour yet may grow on me though)
    Milk Shake - 100ml sample

    Having seen the preview for December's Joliebox (or Jokebox as my predictive text named it!), I would suggest all unsubscribing for the month. It looks shocking.

    Mine and my Aunt's Glossyboxes were pretty good, although I got the WEIRD product. I'll do a full spoiler when Moth has opened hers :-)
