GLOSSYBOX
Cost: $21/month.
Ships To: United States.
Guess what I have? A May 2014 GLOSSYBOX for Bergdorf Goodman Box! Eeek! GLOSSYBOX asked if I’d like to review it early this month and I couldn’t have said yes fast enough. I also have a regular subscription to GLOSSYBOX and I actually bought an extra box this month as well. It’s fair to say that I am super excited about this collaboration.
If you aren’t familiar with GLOSSYBOX, they are $21/month and send you five (or in this month’s case, six) luxury surprise beauty items to your door every month. I LOVE GLOSSYBOX and am constantly impressed at the value they pack into the boxes. They also do the best collaborations. In addition to this month’s Bergdorf Goodman box, they have also done collaborations with Dallas Shaw, The Man Repeller and Bydrie to name a few!
GLOSSYBOX ships via USPS. I know there were some shipping issues with the April box and I believe it had something to do with the fact that GLOSSYBOX switched their shipping to a new warehouse facility. Don’t quote me on that, but I swear I read that somewhere (MUT maybe?). Hopefully things are all settled down by the time these go out later in the month.
The inner GLOSSYBOX was a special Bergdorf Goodman GLOSSYBOX box! And as usual, I will be saving this box because it’s so cute.
Everything was perfectly wrapped and packaged, which is always the case for GLOSSYBOX. I love the Bergdorf purple, but I had no problem ripping into this to see what was inside.
There are 15 different products in the Bergdorf / GLOSSYBOX collaboration and each box will contain six of them. I was pretty pleased with my six at first glance, but I wanted to dig in more and really check them out.
As I mentioned before, the May 2014 GLOSSYBOX is a collaboration with Bergdorf Goodman. It might be the most excited about a box I have been in a while since I don’t think I have tried 90% off the items that could be included in this one. Here is what I received:
~Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer ($13.50): This primer is formulated to allow your makeup to “automatically” glide over the skin. I don’t actually have any foundation to test this with (I just use BB cream), but I will be trying this as soon as I get some.
~Revive Intensite Volumizing Eye Serum ($70): Oh my! I almost spit out my drink when I was calculating the price on this one. Of course I had to test it out right away (it’s suppose to diminish the look of dark circles to leave eyes looking younger, brighter and visibly rejuvenated). I do actually feel like it firmed up the eye area and I will be testing this until it runs out. And then I will cry because it’s gone ;).
~Alterna Caviar CC Cream ($8.50): This cc cream is for your hair and provides ten different benefits (pretty much everything you can think of). I used it last night after I got out of the shower (you put it in towel dried hair and then style as usual) and thought my hair looked extra shiny and smooth! This is something I am putting on my “To Buy” list to use long term.
~Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue ($9.88): While this is a floral scent, it smells much “deeper” than just roses. It’s quite nice. However, I wish this had a little sprayer or something instead of just being open so it was more user friendly.
~Kevyn Aucoin The Essential Mascara ($12.80): This went on without clumping, which is a big thing for me. I actually thought that the brush was great too and I didn’t feel like I needed to separate my lashes with a lash brush after like I have to do with some mascaras. I don’t know if it’s my holy grail, but I am happy with it.
~Lancer Lift Serum Intense ($55): I just started testing the serum from the Mother’s Day GLOSSYBOX, which I am expecting magic from, but OMG this one? I expect a miracle! The card says it delivers firming and lifting effects and will help your skin look smoother and younger! Count me in for that.
~$25 Bergdorf Goodman Gift Card ($25): Since my box was sent so early (it was sent for me to review) the Bergdorf gift code wasn’t ready. As I understand it, it’s a unique code that will be included on the information card and can redeemed at Bergdorf Goodman or bergdorfgoodman.com! I have already been browsing to see how I am going to spend mine ;). Probably on a fancy candle!
All totaled I came up with a value of $194.68 for the Bergdorf Goodman for GLOSSYBOX box. Pure insanity. This box is only $21 and is probably the most incredible value I have ever gotten for a box. Ever. There is no way I would have been able to try most of these samples without this box and now that I have this in my hands I am even more excited about the other ones I have coming!
What do you think of the May 2014 Bergdorf Goodman for GLOSSYBOX box? What products are you hoping to get in yours (you can see a full list here? And if you haven’t yet subscribed, you are in luck because these May boxes are still available! Eeek! Just click here and get your box ordered. I don’t know of any codes, but honestly it’s an incredible value even without a code.
Ummmmm jelous!!!!! I Need Mine. Like now!!
Ha! I was falling over my feet to get it n the house and open it on Saturday! I think the other ones won’t ship for a while though.
I’m hoping I get the same one! LOL! I got my Mom the Mothers Day Glossy Box. I kept it and gave her something else. I know! Not nice! 😉
OMG I am cracking up!
I got the CC cream in my first Sample Society–I LOVE that stuff!
I didn’t even know CC cream for hair was such a thing!
I am so excited for this one – hoping it comes earlier than the April box did – although for May I have yet to even see confirmation that my Birchbox has shipped.
I ordered one as a gift for my sister and then ordered one as a gift for my hedgehog (okay for me but I was afraid they’d cancel it and it was only $15 so I shipped it in her name).
LOL! That made me laugh.
I hope it ships sooner too! And I haven’t gotten my Birchbox shipping info yet either ;(
I never got a shipping e-mail for my May Birchbox but there was a tracking number in my account when I logged in to check something else. Anyway, I got it (the box) like last Wednesday. The day before I got my APRIL Glossybox…
I don’t have anything in my account either. It will come eventually though. I am not worried!
I just got an email from Birchbox saying there was an issue that delayed the shipping and that they’ve given me 100 extra points for my trouble – $10 wahoo.. I can be patient for $10.
Same here! $10 and I am super patient for it.
How do you gift them for $15?
hey log on to your account and go to “gift” on the top
Do you know if there is an expiration date on the gift card/code? I am one of the lucky ones still waiting for my April boxes.
I read on MUT that it’s in June, but I am not sure where that info came from??
The expiration date is June 15, according to mysubsciptionaddiction. (http://www.mysubscriptionaddiction.com/2014/05/glossybox-bergdorf-goodman-box-gift-certificate-details.html)
Jealous!
I am going to be stalking the mailman for my other ones.
I love Revive products!! After trying the night serum from the Nina Garcia Quarterly box I was hooked! I have 2 boxes coming this month so fingers crossed that it will be in at least one! Then, I will try to swap like crazy!
I read somewhere that every box will have at least one Revive product?? At least that’s what it says here:

Woot! Super excited now! Thanks so much for the link!
Super jealous but so excited to see the contents! the CC cream does look amazing.. I am also still waiting on my April Glossybox yet 🙁
Did you e-mail them? Hopefully it comes soon!
Eek! You talked me in to ordering this. Would love to get what you did except for the perfume. Looks like all the boxes will be good, though.
I honestly cannot think of a combo of six of those products I would be upset with!
OMG. I couldn’t believe that you were reviewing the MAY Glossybox when I came on your site today! But this just makes me even more excited for when my boxes finally come. XD I definitely hope they step up their game this month and ship out faster than they did with April.
I hope so too! And I was so excited to review it early!
I’m still waiting for my april box! =)
Oh geez, that’s horrible I’m so sorry! 🙁 I really hope you get yours soon.
I literally JUST got my april glossybox ! aaahhh i hope they fix the shipping issues 🙂
This has happened before. They just switched warehouses, so I think it’s just some of the adjustment period. I don’t expect mime till the end of the month / beginning of the next month anymore.
Is it bad that I want to buy a second one now? Even just for that gift card!
Don’t feel bad. I have a few coming myself… You can gift yourself one for $15.
I just got my April box today! This was my first box; they sent me an email saying my first box would be May, but now who knows. I just hope I get the May one sent out when it is supposed to be.
Fingers crossed!
Wow! wish there was more makeup, but sounds like a decent box. However, I’m still waiting for my April box!
I hope it comes soon!
Did you say we can gift the box for $15. or was I dreaming?
Yes. You can go into your account under “Gift” and it will let you gift them for $15!
I am still waiting to receive my April box!
I feel this reflects very poorly on Glossybox.
The fact that they are willing to ship bloggers a free box very early in the month for advertising purposes and many of their current paid subscribers have still not received their box from the previous month is extremely frustrating and, I feel, not a true representation of their service or delivery times. This is almost false advertising.
Glossybox has ignored my emails and tweets asking where my April box is. I feel they don?t value their current customers and the fact that you got a box this early reflects that.
I?m in no way begrudging you or your blog, I?m just incredibly frustrated at Glossybox?s lack of delivery and customer service.
I totally understand where you are coming from. I hope you get your box soon!
Lovely. I can’t wait to receive mine. I really hope I get the perfume, it is such a beautiful scent. I received a sample from Birchbox and am saving my points to get a bottle. Purple is my favorite color so I am excited for the actual box too, I am such a nerd.
I am seriously going to be stalking my mailbox for my other ones later in the month!
I want to use my $25 GC on something totally frivolous like body wash or a candle.
Did anyone confirm you could use this at Neiman Marcus? I’d hate to go there and find out you can’t.
Some said no online??
It did work at Neiman Marcus Last Call website. Picked up a really cute Fringe vase – I always like their stuff!
I lost my code. Did everyone receive the same code or was each one different?
They are all unique codes.
