Glossybox recs?

[rosetyler]

I'm tempted to try it out. I already get Birchbox, is GlossyBox worth the extra $10?

FWIW, there's a Cyber Monday deal with 40% off the first month.

I think it's a much better sample service than Birchbox. I've gotten some really nice high-end stuff (full-sized Ole Hendricksen serum and Elias Faas lipstick) along with a lot of products that are the type Birchbox would send. No random crappy earbuds or mints, though, and there's always at least one makeup item.

Is it twice as good, though? My hesitation is that while BB is only $10 (so not the end of the world if I'm disappointed occasionally), this is $20.

I think their samples are high end and prob worth the extra money. I ended up canceling as I was h happy with bb and that pricepoint.

This is hard for me to answer - yes, the samples are twice as agood (size and varitey wise), but with birchbox you get almost 50 points back each box ($5), so that makes birchbox more worth it to me.

that said I recently resigned back up to glossy for three months to try it out again. they had a good ebates offer too.

Given how crummy recent Birchboxes have been, I agree that Gossybox has been twice as good lately.
