Glossybox June 2012

  It's Glossybox time! Whoohoo! Alright, so that's how I felt before I looked into June's Glossybox. Just like last months box June's box didn't come till July. According to the Glossybox US Facebook page they will be shipping July's boxes the third week in July and not the fourth. Since shipping seems to take an incredibly long time, I'm not all together sure that shipping the third week of the month is going to remedy the issue.

 While the products in June's box are all "luxury" brands, they just aren't my cup of tea. With the exception of the cream eyeshadow in black, everything else in the box was hair and body care. Getting mostly hair care and body products is the reason I've canceled every other subscription. I prefer more cosmetics and perfume.

So here's what was in my June box:

• AHAVA Mineral Botanic Hibiscus & Fig Cream Wash: Full Size $22.00 Approx Value of Sample $3.87  Formulated with rejuvenating Dead Sea minerals and soothing natural moisturizers, this velvety cream wash gives an extra hydration-boost with sweet uplifting scent.
• FIRST AID BEAUTY Smooth Shaving Cream: Full Size $16.50 Approx Value of Sample $4.86 Smooth Shave Cream is a gentle, non-irritating formula containing everything you need to obtain a close,long-lasting shave. Keep your legs looking smooth and sexy all summer long.
• OFRA COSMETICS Eye Shadow ICE: Full Size $14.95 Full size included   Dab on this  primer infused, color intensive, creamy eye shadow and stand out in any crowd. Remain beautiful for your long summer adventures.

• "Surprise Treat"  PERFUME ORGANIC SAMPLE

    Total Approx Value: $39.04

 June's box paid for itself and then some, but it just wasn't for me. Not crazy at all about this box.  Along with shipping issues, I was charged tax this month when I wasn't charged for it the first month. Bringing my total up to $23 and some change rather than the $21 that's advertised. According to Glossybox they have two offices and this month I happened to get service from the CA office and was charged the CA sales tax. IDK. Their response to this payment issue has been confusing. It's only a couple bucks but not everyone gets charged the tax depending on what office handles their subscription. Apparently I wasn't the only customer who found this odd. Since it is still a new company I will give them a pass as they work out all the kinks.

 There is no longer a waiting list to sign up and it is $21+ Free Shipping.(note you may or may not be charged sales tax) To sign up for Glossybox head here: www.glossybox.com
