Money saving tips
- Sign up for the Glossybox email newsletter. New subscribers are regularly sent exclusive discount codes for their first box, as well as early-access alerts for limited-edition launches.
- Commit to a 12-month subscription plan. Opting for a longer-term plan significantly reduces the cost of each individual box compared to the flexible rolling monthly option.
- Complete your monthly beauty surveys. Taking a few minutes to rate the products in your box builds up your Glossy response history, earning you free Glossy Credit to spend on future beauty purchases.
- Subscribing gives you VIP status. Active subscribers enjoy priority early access to high-demand limited-edition boxes and the coveted Glossybox Advent Calendar, alongside exclusive subscriber-only discounts on these special collections.
- Use the refer-a-friend scheme. When you refer a friend who signs up for a subscription, you will receive up to £10 in Glossy Credit added directly to your account.
Delivery and returns
Glossybox offers reliable tracked shipping for all monthly subscription orders. Shipping costs £3.25 per box for rolling monthly subscribers, though some promotional offers or longer-term prepaid plans may include free delivery. Monthly boxes are typically dispatched during the first two weeks of each calendar month.
Due to the unique nature of subscription services and hygiene regulations, you can only return a Glossybox for a refund within 14 days of receipt if the box is completely unopened, untampered with, and all five original products are intact. They do not accept partial returns of individual items from a box. The customer is responsible for covering return postage costs unless the box arrived damaged or faulty.
FAQs
How do Glossybox subscriptions work?
Glossybox offers several subscription options to suit different budgets. You can choose a flexible, rolling monthly plan that can be cancelled at any time, or commit to a 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month plan. The longer subscription commitments offer a lower price per box.
Do they offer a student discount?
Yes. Glossybox provides a student discount, which typically offers a significant percentage off your first box or a discount on specific subscription plans. You can access this promo code by verifying your student status through platforms like Student Beans or UNiDAYS.
What is Glossy Credit and how do I earn it?
Glossy Credit is a virtual currency earned by active subscribers. You can accumulate credit by completing quick online surveys about the products inside your monthly box, writing product reviews, and referring friends. This credit can be spent directly on the Glossybox website to buy limited-edition boxes, or transferred to their sister site, Lookfantastic, to purchase individual beauty products.
Are the products inside the box full-sized?
Each monthly box contains a curated mix of deluxe travel-size samples and full-sized products, allowing you to thoroughly test each item before deciding to purchase the retail size.
Why isn't my voucher code working?
Check the terms and conditions of your code. Most Glossybox promo codes are valid only for the first box of a new subscription and cannot be applied to existing active subscriptions. Additionally, codes frequently exclude limited-edition boxes, the advent calendar, and prepaid upfront subscription packages. Make sure the code is typed exactly as it appears, with no trailing spaces.
