I Tried Glossybox…I tried…

*le sigh*

When Glossybox first came out, it was a huge deal as the concept seemed oh so simple; sending out five sample products a month for a tenner. Seems simple enough, no? Although a great idea at the time, I feel as if Glossybox have kinda lost their way a bit. My biggest qualm with them? Their target audience.

On the website, there is a beauty profile you complete in order for the company to match up the best suited products for the customer. While I appreciate that there are a load of subscribers and that it’ll be virtually impossible to match each person with their perfect sample product, I still feel like they do not hit their target market at all.

I think (and a lot of people have suggested this on Twitter) that the customer should have a choice of what sort of box they want. Yes, we all love the element of surprise but not when you open up a box and find all the products to be anti-ageing products like I did. :-S

I recieved this month’s Glossybox this morning, which contained the following items: (note: I’ve taken all the photos using my iPhone this time, sorry for the quality!)

To be honest, nothing has really ‘blown’ me away here. I’ve seen that a lot of people recieved miniature mascaras and lipsticks in their packs; i’m not sure if I got bundled with a rogue box but I would have preferred the lippie lol!

I don’t think i’ll be getting a lot of use out of this month’s box and it’s a shame. I’m not a fan of any of the products above (apart from the Shu Uemura cleanser); if the boxes were slighty tailored to a certain type of consumer then it wouldn’t have been much of an issue but for now I’ve had to unsubscribe for the time being.
