There seems to be an influx in cosmetic monthly subscription services. One such type of service not yet available in the US, until now, is Glossybox. This one seems to be more geared toward higher end products, but only time will tell. There are many YouTube videos of non US ladies showing their boxes. I still haven't made up my mind on Glossybox, or in general these types of subscription services. That will be a future post, along with a proper review. Until then, take a look at the products (and swatches) for the month of April 2012 ... EDIT!: and read Pink Sith's blog post
Yea, they seemed to be all full sized, except for the face creams. We shall see if that's a regular thing or just something special they did for the US launch. The Glossybox costs $21/month.
The large sizes were something they just did for the US launch unfortunately. In the future I guess there will be one full sized product and the rest will be smaller sizes in future boxes. Pink Sith did an update on her blog about her inaugural box after she contacted her rep from Glossybox. :(
The Australian Glossybox went downhill quickly, then got merged with (acquired by?) Lust Have It!, which seems to be better. Hope the US Glossybox meets expectations!
That OPI is stunning! Ignorance is bliss but actually I am happy to know that, owning India I don't need Tulips ;-) and now that I saw it on your nails I must pick it from my untrieds box!!
Scrangie did a review on Glossybox recently, too, and was disappointed by the less than forthcoming reply from the rep when questioned about future sizes of items.
really nicely sized products... how much does it run for the monthly sub?

DeleteAin't that some shit. I'm not surprised as a similar thing occurred with the MyGlam bags. UGGGGHHHHH.

ReplyDeleteOnly time will tell. Starting off with a beefed up expectation risks greater disappointment. I hope Glossybox realizes this.
DeleteGreat video and review!! :D It's a shame that lip gloss looks so weird on the lips... it is a really nice colour!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice color. I'll try it a few more times before I give up. Thanks Ashesela!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite phrase in your video = "If they are expensive... I don't know what you're paying for" Lololol! You're awesome!
