Goodbye, Glossy Box...An overall Review

Well, I have been with GlossyBox since June and am now going to call it quits.

Overall, I don't hate GlossyBox, but with the price increase I think I'm going to take a break. I have enjoyed many samples from this company and have loved all of their full sized products! However, they are starting to repeat products and there seems to be little luxury or variety. Below is a summary of the boxes that I have received from June-October 2012. Keep in mind that though the value is usually quite high, I went by the card that comes in the box, which usually is higher than what you would pay in a local pharmacy or department store. you can also go back and see my reviews of each box :)

If you want to try GlossyBox, use the code GLOSSY50 to save $1.50 on your first box!

  1. I stayed on with them for the exact same months before cancelling because of the price increase.

  2. I kind of miss my monthly pink box, overall I really did like this subscription. Even though the samples weren't high end, there were always full-size samples! If TopBox continues to be a let down, I may just switch back...What boxes are you subscribed to now?
