No YBD box for me today.

I've heard that for this month's box GlossyBox 4 out of 5 items are gonna be full size. Does anyone have any more info on this?

On the glossy box facebook page they've stated "Exciting news! Our May box contains five beauty must-haves, four of which are a guaranteed FULL SIZE, plus some extra treats.".
I think they've had so many complaints about contents the last few months (going by comments on the FB page) they have to make this box a good one. I've only ordered one before but its tempting. The dispatch date is the 14th.

Probably best waiting for reviews before ordering judging by previous boxes (that's assuming everyone gets the same box this month and late subscribers won't get rubbish leftovers)!

No YBD yet today

Full size could mean anything. Anyone remember the horrible full-size eye shadow palette GB sent out once? I'll put money on false eyelashes being in there! I'd love to be wrong, but you just have to look back at the quality of the items that used to be in there, to the lower end items now.

Incidentally, a while back there was an article where Kate Cornell CEO at GB indicated that GB would be moving to providing elite boxes, with more expensive products at a higher price (presumably the limited edition boxes we've seen). It follows, therefore, that the "standard" box would start featuring more ordinary products.

I don't think there would be so much of an issue if GB were just honest about the fact they've gone a little more "high street" and not allow people to think they're still a luxe brand.

I hope you are! I have so many pairs, and I don't even wear them.

No YBD box again today. This is about my 5th or 6th box, and I've never had a problem before. I hope it isn't a sign that it's yet another beauty box going out of business?

I'm thinking (hoping) it's demand more than anything else. They're linked to the Daily Mail so pretty big money there plus the content of the boxes doesn't look like a company struggling. I think they've just gotten really popular lately and probably didn't factor that into their logistics!

I've been using them since December and have ordered limited edition boxes from them too. This is the first time I've been left waiting and seen others get boxes much quicker.

Got my YBD today. It's missing the foot cream... Grrr! :mad:

Laurell

Oops! There appears to be a note in advising there is a delay due to demand and that we'll recieve the cream separately. phew! Wish I'd noticed it before sending them an email!
