Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Have a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day!
OOPS! THERE ARE A COUPLE EDITING MISTAKES. Thats Embarrassing! Sorry guys!
So this is probably just a personal issue but to be perfectly honest I have never been the biggest fan of GlossyBox! These Two April Boxes kinda reaffirm that just a little for me! But what about you? Do you like glossy box? What do you think about the promised value? Its much lower that competitors but does that matter? Let me know your thoughts! Love ya💖
Its fine 👍🏻 still enjoyed the video
I think I love watching you open anything even if it was tissues 😂...Not a good box for me...You have found a lot more exciting ones and with bigger value!
I've never been enticed to subscribe to Glossy Box. It just seems so boring to me. You unboxing it though is HILARIOUS. Your reactions to things and pronunciations is why I come back for every video. lol
In the UK, Newer Glossy Boxes have a little card with a QR code, if you scan the code it takes you to the online magazine/pamphlet that gives you the prices etc. Plus we are the exact opposite as I do not wear makeup I get excited for skincare and dislike getting makeup in mine
The packaging is bigger than the amount of the product inside due to transportation process. Like most of potato/corn crisps have a lot of air in the bag, it prevents from squashing the pack so hard they break inside. Liquids need a bit space to move around without creating too much pressure in the container during transit in different conditions and positions upside down etc. like in your boxes sometimes :)
When you aren’t having a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day/week/month/year, BUT Alexandria posts 2 times in a week AND Wren is in this video? I’ll take that serotonin 😂
Amen🥰
When I was younger, I was taught that things like chip packaging/makeup tubes were often partially filled with air because having more air helped protect the product during transit, and made it more difficult to break the packaging open so that it could still be sold in stores. Nowadays it's not really needed due to advances in major transit but I think companies just don't care to change
in crisp packets the "air" is actually nitrogen which is put in to prevent the crisps going stale. If you think about when you leave a crisp packet open the crisps go stale. Obviously over the years in order to cut costs the ratio of nitrogen to crisps has gone up to cut costs.
That's true for things like chips but otherwise it's complete bogus. It's a marketing scheme. A bigger package makes you think you're getting more product even though it's half full. Even knowing that fact, we still tend to fall for it subconsciously. It's crazy. When you see containers with a weird shape or design, it's rarely to be cute or trendy or different. It's to make the container look bigger while actually requiring less product to fill it. False bottoms or a concave bottom is another strategy.
Girl I am so happy to see you take those sirens seriously! I know it can be annoying to drop everything to go hang out in a closet, but safety is so important. ❤
You give us such comedic relief and you validate our feelings with these subscription boxes.
Aw Thats so nice to hear!
BEST DAY EVER!!!!!! I’ve been super blessed 2 back to back videos 🥳 Think you for being YOU! And for making my day sooooo much better 🥰 you’re a rockstar
Aww you are so sweet!! Thank you so much for watching! It means so much to me! Have a great day!
That Sulwhasoo stuff is EXPENSIVE, girl. So is Kitsch, it's like $40 per stuff they sell, outrageous. I'm surprised both boxes were missing the cards with the prices
I think they stopped using the cards & started using the code scan thingie. You know, to be green.🤓
Not going to lie though - the Kitsch stuff works so much better on my hair than other stuff I’ve tried. It’s sad. It actually holds my hair - most everything else just slides out.
I found kitsch scrunchies for 14 at Ulta, and 7 at Walmart lol
@@AmyMarie-ml4dx omg you're right, am I mixing them up with Slip Silk? 🤦♀️
@@minagica The Kitsch ones in our box are satin. 😊 But I do keep seeing a lot of silk pillowcases & eye sleep masks. Supposedly they're the best for your hair & face.
So the thing about air in squeezy tubes: When they're filled in factories, they're actually filled from the top (where the seam is) not from the lid end. Then that seam is pressed shut, usually with some heat to melt the plastic together. Because of the combo of pressure + heat, you can't have the product up too close to it or it'll get squished out or ruined - and obviously the squishing out in particular will also keep the tube from sealing. So that's reason #1 why they're not filled all the way up, they literally can't be and still get sealed.
Reason #2 is that most brands use the same "blanks" of tubes - that's why you often see the same shape of tube with different stuff printed on it for different brands (or within the same brand). The tubes come from the same place and just get printed and filled differently. So, if the tube blank is a 3oz max fill tube but they use that same tube for multiple products where some would be too expensive at that quantity or something, they just under fill them since it's cheaper to bulk buy one kind of tube than to buy a bunch of different sizes in smaller quantities.
#2 is probably especially true for samples. I'd guess most brands just buy 1 blank of tubes for samples of anything and then scale up/down based on the product.
I could literally watch you unbox your massive hoard of boxes ALL day lol
Lol that might have to happen one day!
I love those speed run unboxing videos 😂
I could too
I love that Wren looked like a literally bunny multiple times in this video. Too cute!
Haha! He's precious and I love him!
Alexandria this is a real story you’ll appreciate… I am from small town KY and live in upstate NY now. I just got home today and my mom picked me up from the airport, when I saw your upload I said “YES! My favorite UA-camr uploaded!” And she said “your favorite what?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Thats so funny! But also thank you, thats so sweet!
I actually love those scrunchies. They're so nice and comfortable. I use them during the day and also when I sleep.
YES! Another Alexandria video! Makes my day better! 🤍🤍🤍
Aww thats so sweet! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
Silk is amazing for your hair. I don’t know how scrunches are helpful. But satin pillow cases and sleep masks make your hair soft, smooth & shiny. 😉
I cancelled with them a long time ago when we were getting walmart products in a "luxury" box.
Oh no! Thats awful!
Their sister company, LookFantastic is the same. Last month, I got a Wet & Wild lipstick.😠
I like April's box believe it or not. I like trying korean skincare (and have read this one is good) and the eye cream is from a brand that has been a win for me in past boxes. They have the box info online now to conserve paper. Yeeks tornado warnings!
I was genuinely surprised at how good that box was in comparison to most of their other more recent boxes.
You are so relaxing. I watch you to fall asleep sometimes. Found you from the holiday advent calendar videos. I absolutely love you.
Man the "this works" sleep pillow spray is amazing. If this lotion smells like it I'm definitely going to buy it. I would never spend 52$ on a "pillow spray" normally, but uh . . This stuff smells sooooo goooddddd
I have a bunch of them, Sleep Together Calming Spray, Stress Check Sleep Spray, Deep Sleep Sleep Spray, etc. not one has helped me sleep. They do smell good though. If you would like to have them, they are yours.
I use their pillow spray too. Knocks me right out and I usually manage to stay asleep instead of walking up every 30 minutes. I have it on a subscribe and save delivery now 🤣
@@LuluDrakonite lucky you. Everyone from FabFitFun community swears by it, that’s why I bought all the different ones hoping one would work for me like it does for them, no luck here 🥺
There was a different brand years ago that smelled so good that I actually paid the retail price for it. Of course, it didn't work, but my pillows smelled great‼️
You can make the same spray at home using the essential oils that are in it. Way cheaper 😃 I cancelled glossybox uk as was getting grubby products way less than half full
The pH adapting stuff you mentioned is Lipstick Queen. The have green Frog Prince stuff as well as blue stuff, yellow stuff and a black blush.
Thats it! I didn't know they had blue stuff too!
I got a Chella eye shadow quad in my FabFitFun mystery pack and I LOVE it! They apply beautifully and they are perfect neutral colors.
I used the one from this box today and I really like it!
I'm very fond of the thinner black kitsch sleep scrunchies, I also like that they are not expensive
Alex, your videos ALWAYS brighten my day. I've been struggling with some rough post postpartum depression and I can always count on you to calm me down and make me smile. You've definitely helped me through some stuff, without even knowing it. Thank you Doll!..ps that lotion is SO STRONG I can't even use it and I love lavender! I only exclusively use those scrunchies they are wonderful and I have them in every color and pattern!
I'm so sorry to hear that. PPD is very real and very hard, so I'm glad you've found a bright spot that helps. I invested in some oversized velvet scrunchies to help prevent hair damage because I lose a lot ☹️, but I'll definitely look into satin ones.
@@poietes7337 thank you my dear for being so sweet. It's funny how divided people still are about PPD. The amount of times I've been told to suck it up or called ungrateful by my in laws is ridiculous. PPD doesn't mean I'm not totally in love with my child, or that I'm not beyond grateful and thankful...it means (for me personally) I'm not liking myself very much as of recent. It's most definitely gotten better but on the worst days...man it was rough! I just thought your message was very sweet and appreciated. Take care
That sulwasoo serum is amazing! It’s one of my favorite serums I’ve ever tried.
Ive heard some really nice things about it in the comments! I will have to give it a try!
I'm not sure about the $60 value, especially if the items immediately break! 😁
Haha Im sure that reduces it a bit!
Yes!You're talking about The Frog Prince from Lipstick Queen! I still have mine
Thats the one!
I have fine thinning hair I use silk pillowcases and hair scrunches. I put my hair up in a loose bun and it keeps out of the way. I’ve noticed an improvement in softness and texture
I lived and worked at OBI in Manchester KY from 2000-2012, and those sirens used to terrify me (being from the west coast where such things don’t really happen). During our 12 years there we had many… I don’t think a person would ever get used to those, or the threat of tornadoes!
My daughter lives in Somerset, so I still get the 411 on the weather there! Also, I can’t wait to visit her this year, and we’re going to visit your store 😍
Commodity Paper is based on a molecule called ISO E Super, which is supposed to smell sort of cedar-y, but I don’t enjoy it myself. You may be anosmic to it.
I have that little eyeshadow quad and it’s what I keep in my on the go makeup bag. It’s a good one! And it’s perfect for on the go. You can use the darker shades for liner and brows!
I was so excited when I got a notification for another Alexandria video!! Love love love all of your videos. Thank you for working so hard for your subscribers! ❤️❤️❤️
Alexandria, I live in colorado and up in the mountains at a higher elevation products can expand and explode if filled too full. Brands aren’t supposed to fill all the way to the top so a standard size package is often used. Hope this helps
I also live in Kentucky and was freaking out last night before the storms when the sirens went off. This tornado weather absolutely terrifies me now
There have just been too many recently and it makes me nervous anytime we have a storm with strong winds!
@@Alexandria-Ryan Yes me too!
I love that blue Cherry thing lip balm lip oil it's great I used it all winter long and moistened my lips and gave me a little Cherry smile
At the beginning of the whole subscription box craze, Glossy Box ruled. This was before boxycharm got big, back when their palettes were good. Glossy Box marketed itself as "the best sub box you could get, and it actually was, 5 full sized items, really cool boxes designed by different artists, really nice products that no one else offered. I don't know what happened to them, if their success made them greedy for more profit with less expenditure, but whatever it was, it's a shame.
Yeah I remember back when I decided I wanted to try a subscription box for the first time because I wanted to get into makeup, they looked SO COOL from all the UA-cam videos. But there was like, a ridiculous wait list just to get a box at all.
Frog Prince by Lipstick Queen is what you were thinking of, and its a very nice lipstick! I found one at TJ Maxx and had to try it.
Good luck canceling! I canceled and I was billed for another three month subscription. I called them and was assured that I was canceled and was promised a refund. Surprise! No refund. I called my credit card company to dispute it. My credit card company took care of me so I was all set. However, glossy box refused to issue the refund to the credit card company. Never again glossy box!
Frog Prince by Lipstick Queen. They also had Hello Sailor.
What do you have on your nails? It''s a very pretty spring color! that's how bored I am with gloosybox too, I'm only paying attention to your nails. haha
Your videos always brighten my day. Definitely like the November box over the April.
Always love your videos. I had visions of you and Ren in the closet with all the subscription boxes and thinking with all the packing, it has to be the safest place in the house. ;) I am so glad you and everyone is ok. This 53yr old Canadian loves her LWF sweatshirt and it's in regular rotation.
That happened to me too. It took about 2 months but I finally got it fixed. I now get 1 box for 19 dollars a month.
I love how you’re matching Wren & wearing one of my favorite band’s shirts. 🤍🖤🤍🖤
I got five of that same brand of scrunchies from Ipsy add-ons. I love them and use them everyday
Oof, I got Glossybox for about 6 months a couple of years ago, and I'd never resub. Boring little samples, and SO many repeats, but this is mad!! Love you, though, Alexandria! ♥
Awww. So glad to see Wren.
I love when he guts to be in videos!
I've used Harry's since last year. Best box for me. Love the lotion, I would think it smells wonderful. Skincare is always good, if it works. If you're happy with it, that is all that matters. If not, Honey, don't get it. Have a wonderful day. Are you going to unbox a Glossybox Egg this year??
I love that you upload often lately. Thank you ❤️🥰
Im trying my best to get a lot of vidoes out for you guys!
Sulwhasoo is an expensive Kbeauty brand and that serum is super popular. A 2 oz bottle is $89.
I personally loved them! Especially the last one!
I use the Oui Cherie lip oil as a night lip mask. I have maybe 3 of the 4 pan palettes and 2 of the figs and rouge primers . Got to love Glossybox for repeating items
The Sulwhasoo is very nice 😊. I use it and really like it.
I had the same problem with the eyeliner 😅
the lipstick is Frog Prince i believe, but the company is Lipstick Queen. I actually really love the line... they have some really pretty colors and it's moisturizing in a way- it doesn't dry my lips and I can reapply thru the day without over doing it.
Don’t cancel one subscription….cancel both!!! Stinky subscription box!!!! The November box was a little better but, no! Lol
I love commodity gold but i don't know which of their new ones i want/match the orignial
Its one of my favorites! The paper one is the only other one I have tried from them
I only like the special Glossyboxes. I still can't forget the mother's day box from a few years ago- it was awesome.
Thank you for another video! I absolutely adore you and your sense of humor.
Aww thank you so much!
So so happy I love multiple videos
Im so glad you are enjoying the videos!
I vote we do a video where you just burn through like six of these in one go. A few times. 🤣🤣 Love you so much. You are a box hoarder. I love it.
FROG QUEEN!!! Omg YES I totally forgot about that PH changing “lipstick” 😂😂
Okay but like why is she so sweet and absolutely stunning! Most people are just gorgeous but she has all the things! Love you boo❣🤩
Oh my goodness you are too sweet!! Love ya!
@@Alexandria-Ryan 😘😘
Love watching u and your cool mood and honesty
They have commodity gold in the Scentbird subscription now!
I love your subscription box reviews lol this one was so cute your hilarious 😆
Aww youre too sweet! Thank you so much for watching!
We got the exact same November box and the Oui Cherie lip oil thing is the same color on me 🙃
I love thisworks pillow spray
You always make me feel so happy and NORMAL! 🤗 I used to subscribe to boxes of something, forgot the name now, and was always so underwhelmed! My daughters loved it, they got the stuff 😂😂. I couldn’t figure out what half the stuff was for and don’t get me started on the mascara IN EVERY BOX!
I thought the UK Glossybox was getting bad but it's nowhere near as bad as that first box... The chella palette and the Figs & Rouge primer are both really lovely i have repurchased both.
The air is to account for temperture changes while in storage/shipping because the package expands and contracts depending on cool and hot temps. If they were just full with no air they could burst.
And when it comes to things like chips etc the bag is full of air so the chips etc dont't become crumbs lol so even though it might seem desieving etc its actually a great thing. (As long as the size/volume etc is stated correctly)
Out of all of the items, I like the lip oil!
Best of all, I'm glad to see our favorite dog! Really enjoy your videos!! Always fun! Thanks!
Do you sell what you don't want in your Apparitions brick and mortar store and some online?
I LOVE COMMODITY GOLD!! Got it in an ipsy one month and adored it!
if you have to many glossy boxes. I would love a few of them. I will buy them. I have never tried this box before
Oh I have commodity gold too my mom hates it 😂 but I think it's nice
Oh really! I love it!
Yay! I'm currently wearing my lovely wonderful fantastic skull hoodie and ready for a vid.
The November box was pretty good. The Figs & Rouge primer is lovely. It’s one i would actually buy.
The last box you unboxed was my one favorite boxes. I know the fragrance wasn't that good. But that primer and balm are divine.
Mine too! My fiancé really like the perfume I just couldn't smell it lol
Always a pleasure to see a new upload from your channel. 💜
Aw! Im so glad you enjoy the videos!
@@Alexandria-Ryan they always bring a smile to my face. Have a lovely day.
I actually liked the first 2 I got. But I had 3 consecutive boxes with issues. Definitely pricey for how many issues and the quality of items.
The neolastin eye cream is pretty good. But any moisturizer would work.
It’s worth it for the calendar!!!
Lipstick Queen’s Frog Prince was the break out shade but Poppy made other lipsticks that did and did not change color. I have a bunch of the line. It was great until she sold to a larger company and now they have vanished from Ulta.
Thank you for the video huni you’ve fast become someone I can’t miss watching. We don’t get tornadoes where I live and l can’t imagine how it is for you. I’d be terrified l. Hope everything was ok xx
Omg. That's right, you're susceptible to the tornados, tornadoes(?) In KY too. I'm from north (New England) so they've been coming slowly but surely. Always, be safe ♡♡♡
I love the scrunchie I would have had them but I'm a big scrunchie fan lol
You always make me laugh! You are so down to earth and real! Never change
I think it would be cool to see a rating from of all the subscriptions on a value (including like customer service box value, accurate to advertised ect)
Oh my gosh you are such a rockstar for uploading so much lately! I was watching someone else’s video and saw yours and immediately clicked, liked and commented. Girl You are my favorite 👏
Aww thank you so much! It really means so much to me that you watch and comment! Its so nice having a community of great people! Thank you!
@@Alexandria-Ryan I always make sure to like and comment when I can remember and I’ve watched every single one of your videos for around 4-5 years ☺️ you are my favorite person to watch because I relate to you so much. Thank you for putting yourself out there and opening up about what’s going on in your life, we all appreciate and love you 💕🙏
Wren is the sweetest boy! I would die for him!🥺🤗
Same!!
I just tried the Allure box 📦 and so far I like it better than Ipsy or boxycharm. Have you ever tried that❓
I get glossybox in the UK it's very hit and miss. I loved birchbox but they got very repetitive. But love your awesome subscription videos xx hope you are well.
Hi Alexandria just wanted to say I order my daughters glossy box. But now I have a question for you what is a a box that isn’t to pricey my daughters were looking for a $15-$25 dollar box they were not to thrilled with glossy box. NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE ALEXANDRIA…. Mostly makeup ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰💄💄💄
Never have I swiped anything from a hotel cart 😜 only good lotion 😂 Love that zeppelin shirt! Now you’re talking my age 😬 that shawahoosoo stuff is expensive
I tried that green frog color changing lipstick years ago. It always left my lips hella chapped!
It was by Lipstick Queen :) The brand used to have one of my fave red shades.
The eye cream and serum are both really nice. I’m really loving the serum. I have to admit, I love my glossy box.
Haha I wore Frog Prince lipstick today! Also yeah it seems like they reduced the value of the boxes.
Have a Beautiful Day. Just have a givaway for what you don't like. Happy Easter.
I love the This Works Sleep lotion is really nice and helped me sleep.
The older I get the more appreciative I am of the skin care, but I get people wanting makeup more. They should just offer separate boxes for make up and skin care and maybe one that is both.
Thank you for all the subscription Boxes you do. You are amazing you brighten my day and as someone who is on disability and can't afford to try these boxes it's great to see. I would love to try some of these products but at least I get your honest opinion and you don't hold back. Thanks for all that you do and all the hard work that you put in.
