Glossybox Blues...

I'm currently stuck. Do I take the plunge and go invest in another beauty related box, or stand my ground and keep on truckin' with Glossybox?

I really don't want more than one a month, the cost adds up etc.


However, Glossybox has just stopped 'wowing' me and I find myself being drawn to other boxes because people are waving around amazing looking products and I'm sat here with sachets (man I hate sachets) of face mask, some weird acid peel and a tiny sample of nail varnish.


Plus, to make matters more frustrating, I keep getting things that would be £50-80 if they were full sized, in sachet form. (goddamn it sachets...) and it's really not enough to make a good impression, I can't tell if x is going to work just by using it once. So I'm really not going to go and spend £50 on your full size product.


Don't get me wrong, occasionally I get some little gem that is full sized, of the sample size is big enough to get more than one usage. But I feel like they're trying to shove me into a high end product corner, with brands I've never heard of but are apparently 'quirky'. I miss the old drugstore product priced days, and reading the info card and thinking 'OH! L'oreal. I've heard of those bad boys.'


Now I'm just sat here like OH.

What beauty boxes do you guys have? Are they worth it? Anyone else having Glossybox second thoughts right now?

  1. There's one called Love Me Beauty that seems quite good! I haven't tried it though

  2. Thank you! I've just had a nosy, it does seem like a good one... they let you choose as well, which sounds more appealing than the random samples. :) x
