GlossyBox Review
Summary & How it Works
Whether you are someone who loves cosmetics and can’t wait to find the latest and greatest products to update your palate or you have just decided that makeup and beauty products should be added to your daily routine and you’re not really sure where to start, GLOSSYBOX is for you! They combine the perfect shipment monthly for you to try new products from a long list of companies.
GLOSSYBOX is an incredible way to test and use cosmetic products from some of the most popular companies such as Lancome Paris, Rituals and Hollywood California GlamGlow.

Boxes include such fabulous items as Roma Truffle Therapy Polishing Micro-Exfoliating Truffle Face Gommage from Skin&Co, Mini Hydra Veil from Illamasqua, Nutra-shine Vegan Lip Luminizer Lip Gloss from Babo Botanicals, and They’re Real! Mascara from Benefit Cosmetics.
Highlights
We loved that GLOSSYBOX has several different deals to make subscriptions easy for lots of different people. First off, they offer a 20% discount off of your first order! They also offer a 20% discount to students. Just go into their Student Bean portal and verify your student status and you’ll receive this discount. Along with different bundled discounts and specials on past products, GLOSSYBOX seems to want to please us all!
We also loved that you can purchase previous month’s offerings as well as the special “Limited Edition” sets that were for things like Mother’s Day or Easter.
Each subscription can also earn GLOSSYcredits! These can be used to purchase more fun beauty essentials. A few ways to earn credit:

What People Are Saying About GLOSSYBOX
“I am a newbie. I love the promptness of the Shipping. I subscribed on Saturday then I received my first package on Thursday. I am super excited to try the items. My preteen already stole my glitter nail polish. I feel so beautiful already without trying these yet. Thank you… ”

“This was my first GLOSSYBOX. I bought the 3 month subscription when it was on special. However after finding out I could not ask to have certain items not be sent, I went ahead and cancelled the next 2. When I opened this box I was very pleasantly surprised. First the box itself was beautiful and I am not a pink fan and the way the items were wrapped, I felt like I was opening an expensive gift. The items I got included, a lip pencil in a beautiful rose color, a highlighter stick, a cleanser, a full size hair mask, (I love to try hair items even though I have no problem or concerns) and my granddaughter’s favorite gold glitter nail polish! My granddaughter informed me in no uncertain terms that, “nana you are too old to wear that!” She is correct, my days of glitter nail polish ended about 50 years ago. Otherwise a nice box and kinda wish I hadn’t cancelled the next 2.”

“Birthday box was beautifully wrapped and all products were unique and I’m using. However, I don’t need anymore facial brushes and felt that this highly marketed “Bday box” should not have included the facial brush as the box variation. That was a huge disappointment. Plus I’m an August birthday and was really excited to see what my surprise was. But I’m sure my next box will be awesome though.”
