    Hi! I've been lurking for a while (had last month's LuxBox and this month's Glossybox) and thought I'd contribute with the contents of my Glossybox, which was waiting for me when I got back from the dentist. Almost made up for 45 mins in the chair! I got:

    HD Brows brow beater - I really like this, when I applied it it felt like nothing was going on, but my eyebrows are still in place. Hoping over time it'll straighten my eyebrow hairs out as they're slightly curvy and they generally go all over the place so I'm thrilled with this! Something that if I'd know about I would've bought it. Feel really lucky to have gotten this.
    Perfume samples - didn't really like either but I'll keep them for nights out/handbag)
    Shower gel
    Weleda night cream - haven't tried it out but I'm unlikely to use.
    Eyeliner - teal - I'm loving the colour, clashes horribly with my current outfit though :p
    Obligatory mirror and balloon.

    Pleased I didn't get the lashes as I had some in my LuxBox - I did like them, but I wore them to the end of year ball and funnily enough I don't have one of those until next year! ;)

    Same as mine, although you had the night cream which I'd have much preferred. I like the Teal colour-way too, as love coloured eyeliners. I haven't used gel ones before so will be very interesting.

    I will be keeping my GlossyBox subscription, as loved 3 items (HD brow beater, eyeliner, and shower gel (smells lovely)), plus the bonus compact, which I thought rather cute (in a kitsch way).

    I used one of the perfume samples in one application so not useful for me, although smells nice.
    New forum. New sig. Yes I still need to lose 2 stone! :smiley:

    I'm really pleased with mine - I'd psyched myself up for getting stuff I wouldn't used based on what others have got but am actually really pleased with my box! I got:

    Shower gel
    Perfume Samples
    Anti-wrinkle and firming masks
    OSMO Hair Treatment
    HD Brows Eye Smoothing Serum (marked at £3.90 but worth way more than that!!)

    So, overall I'm pleased!

    Em xXx

    yours sounds worth the money!

    I tried the oil last night - OMG! Amazing things happened to my hair so I understand the hype now! Gutted that it may have to go on my can't live without list!

    Glad to here you rate the hair oil! I was reading an article about it only yesterday and was wondering if it was worth trying.....sadly not in my box but nice to hear it being recommended!

    Out of interest when do the Jolie boxes tend to get sent out?

    Finally got my GB. It's an okay box, not great but it gets a pass!

    -I got 2 x Lolita Lempicka samples. I really like these perfumes but I have an icecream tub full of perfume samples so I felt a bit weary to see two more! I need to start using them up!

    -A Weleda item:) but I need to translate it over google, because there is nothing in English anywhere on the packaging. (Translated - it's a night cream!)

    -The shower gel. It smells like Lynx to me, quite masculine. Maybe I got a different scent to everyone else. Cute little bottle though.

    -Gel eyeliner in black. Great because I'm very conservative about make-up. And not so great because I already have two black gel liners that need using up!

    -The HD Brows Brow Beater. I like this, I can see myself incorporating this into my night time routine.

    The extra bits... I don't see that a glossybox balloon is of interest to anyone outside of the glossybox offices, and the compact is scratched.

    No gold ticket and no stand-out product, but it's okay!

    Received my first GB today. Got the same as gentleorange, and very happy. Love the black gel eyeliner (I don't go a day without eyeliner), love the Brow Beater item (never knew they did this) and the shower gel smells lush!

    For only £3 I think it was definitely worth it :D

    I'm so unimpressed with my box and will be unsubscribing i think. My shesaid box last month was ten times better
    my products:
    2 perfume samples-almost empty and would never use
    eyelashes that remind me of drag queens
    lasting colour gel eyeliner in gold/yellow (jealous of those who got teal/brown)
    shower gel
    nyr moisturiser-the only thing I'm happy with, I love Neals Yard


    and the compact mirror and balloon

    considering sticking it out another month, purely because this seems to be a bad box after a number of good ones. Was expecting better products-especially as it is their 'birthday' box. Think all of our money was spent on their party!

    Hi.

    I have been lurking for a few days now, and thought I would post and say'Hi'. Still waiting for my very first box to arrive; GB so any day now. :)

    Also I was looking around the internet and I spotted Beautylishious - thislooks like a beauty bag and not beauty box, but same concept.

    Not sure if anyone has come across or had one of these? It looks fairly new. - beautylishious co uk
