Collection, as in Collection 2000? Hardly premium! Or is it a different brand?

I am also not that impressed with my Glossybox this month. However, after looking at their Facebook page, I don't think I got the worst box. Some people got yellow eyeliner from Collection 2000, others got HD Brows sets (I didn't get either). There is a huge disparity in the boxes people are getting, it just doesn't seem fair.

Hi all, I was thinking of signing up for glossybox, but the reviews haven't inspired me, only my friend seems to like them.
Is there any others around the same price range that you would recommend? |

She Said Beauty seems like a really good one to go for these days. I can't personally recommend this company as I have never had a box from them, but I have seen reviews online and they seem to have happy customers! My sister subscribes to this company and she is really pleased. They charge £11.95 including P&P, so they are slightly cheaper than other companies out there. I am thinking of unsubbing from Glossybox and going with this company.
Apart from Glossybox, the only other box I subscribe to is Joliebox. I prefer Joliebox to Glossybox, they are much more consistent and they seem to give everyone the same more or less. Feel Unique used to do a really good box, but they stopped it

Hmm not massively impressed on first glance at this month's box. I got:
Blusher brush, HD Brows tweezers, Caudalie perfume (pink tube), tiny powder bronzer and small samples of dermablend concealer. What did you all get? |

Really don't know what I think about getting a brush and tweezers, I'd rather more beauty products to try out. I've cancelled my Glossybox now and I'm going to try out She Said Beauty instead. |

I got the same as you! the perfume i've got smells like air freshner! not impressed with any of it this month. One more box and then i'm going to cancel i think.
![]() The blusher brush is one of the worst items I've received from GB too. LabelsandLove, the box really did look sparse this month. Such a disappointment to open. |

So you pay £10+ a month for a bunch of samples of products you don't use? Or is there more to it than that?

![]() The annoying thing is that once in a while you get something really nice. The first Glossybox had a full-size Illamasqua product in it, but they've gone so far downhill now. I'm locked into a 12 month subscription though. That's why they give me the crap box I think, because I'm trapped and can't unsub yet!

Believe it or not, you got the 'star' box this month! The tweezers are worth about £20 apparently. GB really does seem to be hit and miss at the moment. If next month's is crap then I may cancel my subscription too. |

I follow the blog http://www.supergorgeous.co.uk/ and the blogger, Alice always does really thorough reviews of her beauty boxes (she gets a few) and this month's glossybox was the final straw for her apparently. She's unsubscribing.

I unsubscribed to GlossyBox this month, its been a total joke this year. Besides their Xmas box, wveything else I have not been impressed.
I however joined SheSaid, all their past boxes have looked amazing. They also are doing great deals - boxes from £9 a month, so well worth it. Usually I am a fan of Joliebox however, I still have not recieved my June box, and my May box was late. So if it does nto come next week (Despite an email sayign it has been dispatched last thursday!) I may unsub. Has anyone received it yet? |

I haven't received my Joliebox yet. I have been told that they have posted a message on their Facebook page saying that they are having problems with third party delivery companies and people should start receiving their boxes either tomorrow or Monday. A bit annoyed about this as I am not a member of Facebook and no email has been sent out. Joliebox are usually so good with delivery and customer service.
I haven't signed up to SheSaid yet, I think I might give these boxes a miss for the next few months, they aren't as good as they used to be and I don't think I've re-purchased anything I have sampled. I'm also accumulating vast amounts of shower gel, moisturisers and eye liners - time to give it a rest I think! |
