Disclaimer: Normally I put these at the end of posts but this one needs to be at the beginning. This is NOT a regular Glossybox & I don’t want you guys thinking this is what you will get if you sign up. This is an amazing launch box filled with 5 full size products & 1 sample pack that was distributed to some people (me because I’m a blogger) or won by others. This is NOT how most boxes will be. Glossybox generally contains at least 5 products, one being full sized. They work with some amazing brands as well so I do believe this is a good representation of the types of brands we will be seeing in this new subscription service. I didn’t want to mislead any of my readers as this isn’t exactly an example of what you will be getting from Glossybox. Once again, this was in celebration of their launch. A big thanks to Pink Sith for letting us know this information.
Okay, now onto the FUN stuff! This is some of the most beautiful & chic packaging ever to hit my doorway, & I’ve seen some beauts. The box it comes in has the logo & glossy box on it, then a beautiful, pink hard box that I can see myself storing all sorts of things in. Next is some information tied with a bow.
Next up is a “Trend Guide” & Info Card. I love this guide & find it to be a very fun addition. Inside are places for you to write notes along with information about the samples & advice about them. This is organized by oconic places & shows their beauty trends. Fun stuff!
The products are wrapped in a light pink paper with travel landmarks, so fashionable! I see myself hoarding these boxes in the future, so sturdy & pretty!
Initial Reaction: Cargo, we have been apart for too long. This looks lovely & perfect for summer. I can already tell you my blue eyes will love this shade.
I’m sorry I couldn’t review this service as a whole although I am incredibly grateful they were thoughtful enough to send this along. I don’t want anyone misinterpreting this box though, thus the long disclaimer. Looking at just the brands, these are way impressive & definitely something I’m interested to see more of. The price tag for this box is DOUBLE that of many other beauty subscription box service chiming in at $21. If you had received my box, I would say that price tag is more than worth it. Because I do not know what will be in the actual batch of boxes I can’t say if it worth it or not. I do so wish they had sent me a box that everyone else will be getting so I can tell you if its worth the price but alas, I cannot. Yet.
What I CAN say is that I will be subscribing as soon as possible & giving it a shot. If this month’s MyGlam bag stinks then I will be canceling it anyways. I look forward to seeing more from Glossybox & am excited to see what they bring to the table. They are so wildly popular in other countries I’m excited it has arrived here in the US. This appears to run differently than Birchbox & more like Beauty Army by opening up subscriptions for a brief period every month. To put your e-mail in the pot & sign up to get notified when these boxes are available, simply go to http://www.glossybox.com. These subscriptions should be available sometime in May 2012.
I look forward to hearing what you hope to see from Glossybox, what you think of the brands, & what you have seen from bloggers & vloggers from other countries who have had Glossybox!
