My Thoughts on GLOWRIA in 2024: Is It Worth the Price?

Before I discovered Glowria, I wasn't really interested in beauty boxes. I was worried about being flooded with all sorts of samples when I really wanted full-sized products. However, what made me want to subscribe is that the Glowria beauty box offers only full-sized products, which is fantastic!

After receiving and testing 3 kits, I want to share my thoughts so you can decide if this box is really worth it or not.

What is the Glowria Box?

💖 I Loved It

• Receive beauty products each month,
• The full-size products,
• Quality brands,
• 2 boxes in summer (no double box),
• An appealing price for the value of the products.

❌ I enjoyed it less

• No personalisation based on the profile,
• Box is quite repetitive,
• No promo codes available,
• Cannot view previous boxes on the website,
• There is no gift card available.

How does the Glowria beauty box (formerly Beautiful Box) work?

Previously known as Beautiful box by au Féminin, this beauty box rebranded in January 2021 and is now called the Glowria box. It is a monthly subscription that you receive at home, containing a selection of cosmetic products.

What makes Glowria stand out is that the products are sold in full-size format, meaning generous sizes, unlike the samples and miniatures found in other beauty boxes (like Blissim, Lookfantastic, My Little Box...).

The products included in the Glowria box allow you to receive a new beauty routine each month, often accompanied by accessories like a face mask, makeup sponge, and more.

Receiving a beauty box means getting a unique surprise in your mailbox each month, allowing you to indulge in self-care and treat yourself daily. 😉

Who is the Glowria box for?

On the Glowria website, we find that the box has been designed for all women. It is described as:

• authentic,
• inclusive,
• and committed.

This commitment to celebrating all types of beauty is one of the aspects that drew me to Glowria. The concept was already a part of the previous Beautiful Box, but it has now been embraced fully, which is wonderful!

👉 If this mindset resonates with you, Glowria could be just the right fit for you!

What is the price of Glowria?

Unlike other beauty boxes that offer a range of subscription options, Glowria keeps it straightforward by giving you the choice of:

• A monthly subscription for $16.90 with automatic renewal,
• A yearly subscription for $185.

👉 You can cancel your monthly subscription at any time from your account. The annual subscription commits you for twelve months, but you do receive a free box. It's up to you to decide!

For my part, I preferred to opt for security with a monthly subscription that automatically renews. I was confident that I could pause or cancel it if I no longer liked the service, for example.

What different payment methods does Glowria offer?

Even if you choose a monthly subscription, payments on Glowria can be made via PayPal or your credit card. This means that if your credit card expires during your subscription, you’ll need to remember to update your details with the new card to continue receiving your box.

👉 For me, I've chosen to pay via PayPal, which I find convenient and secure! 😉

What does a Glowria box look like? Find out in the video!

When ordering a beauty box online, it’s hard to know what to expect and you might worry about feeling disappointed. This is especially true with Glowria, as the website doesn’t display previous boxes.

If you'd like to know more about Glowria, let’s take a detailed look at what can be included in a box, using this month's example, the Glowria box for August 2022.

The Glowria box for August 2022 - Life in Pink

This vibrant set embraces the vintage trend, featuring a delightful pink gingham theme!

Upon opening the box, I discovered:

🔸 A nourishing hair mask with Aloe Vera and honey - Apicia (value: $15),

🔸 A 4 blush palette for achieving that trendy sixties makeup look! - Bellapierre Cosmetics (value: $24),

🔸 An organic and natural exfoliating mask - On the wild side (price: $15),

🔸 A super original burgundy mascara that gives you stunning eyes! - Chella Beauty (value: $11),

And as a treat 🎁, a lovely pink scrunchie in gingham (worth: $10)!

🤑 The total value of the products, not including the lovely box itself, is €75. For the price of the box, which is €16.90, you save over €58! In terms of cost, the Glowria box is quite a bargain.

Here’s a video that showcases the products from the August box in detail:

👉 The Glowria box contains a balanced selection of:

• facial and body treatments,
• cleansing products,
• make-up items,
• and accessories!

📃 Each box includes a small booklet that introduces the theme of the box, along with a guide for each product it contains, so you can learn how to incorporate them into your beauty routine!

Can we gift a Glowria subscription? 🎁

It's a bit disappointing, but Glowria doesn't yet offer a gift card with an activation code like you can find with My Little Box, for instance. To subscribe someone of your choice, you have two options available:

• Sign up for a monthly payment plan and cancel whenever you want the subscription to end.
• Choose an annual plan for a fantastic gift!

👉 If you choose one of these solutions, simply provide the name and address of the recipient when you sign up, at the time you enter the delivery address. 😉

Who should receive a Glowria box?

A subscription box is a perfect gift for a friend, your mum, your partner, or even a little sister, a cousin, a niece, and so on. An annual subscription can make for a lovely group gift!

All it takes is for the person in question to love surprises for them to absolutely adore the world of Glowria!

Are you familiar with the Glowria Advent Calendar (formerly Beautiful Box by au féminin)?

As December rolls in, we often start to feel a bit worn out. To help you look after yourself before the festivities, Glowria is offering a special limited edition box: it's actually a beauty and wellness advent calendar!

A quick look at the Glowria Advent Calendar

When is the Glowria Advent Calendar available?

Typically, this Advent calendar goes on sale on the Glowria website in autumn. Keep an eye on the site from the end of September!

Does this calendar really help you save money?

Yes! Its price is just $59 for 24 products, with a total value of over $460. With this calendar, you're getting a wide range of quality cosmetic products, resulting in a savings of over $400. It's perfect for restocking before the new year begins and treating yourself without the guilt!

🤑 If you're a Glowria subscriber, you can grab the calendar for the amazing price of $49!

Glowria is also a women's magazine!

While visiting the Glowria website for information on the beauty box, I made a discovery: there's a Glowria magazine, which can be accessed from the homepage by clicking on a link in the menu at the top.

This beauty blog is absolutely captivating. It's like a real magazine, but free and always accessible. You'll find 5 different sections here:

👉 Since I subscribed to Glowria, this beauty blog has become a regular stop for me: it’s a genuine source of inspiration for discovering products, finding gift ideas, and learning new beauty tips...

👉 These reviews are positive, but they've been curated from the site. For a bit more transparency, it's worth checking out the verified reviews on Trustpilot.

Is Glowria a scam? Can we trust this beauty box?

Glowria belongs to the Aufeminin company, which has been operating in France for 22 years. It started as an online magazine dedicated to women. The Aufeminin company has been part of the TF1 group since 2019.

👉 This is a promotional offer from a reputable company aimed at attracting new customers.

Glowria has a phone customer service 📞, but it's only available from 10am to 12pm Monday to Friday. You can also send a message 📩 through a contact form.

Unlike several competing services, Glowria does not respond to customer reviews left on Trustpilot. It's a bit disappointing, as it would be helpful to hear the company’s perspective on the various issues faced.

✅ You can trust Glowria as it is a legitimate French brand. However, I recommend opting for a monthly subscription that you can cancel at any time rather than committing to an annual plan.

My Verdict on the Glowria Box ⭐⭐⭐

After three months of subscription, here’s my review of the Glowria box. Having previously subscribed to other beauty boxes, particularly My Little Box, I really appreciated that Glowria offers full-sized products at an unbeatable price.

If you're looking to discover new products and save some money with a simple subscription, this is the box I recommend.

👉 Another detail that I appreciated is receiving two boxes in summer, one for July and one for August, whereas competitors typically send a double box. That makes for two surprises!

However, I found the Glowria box to be less engaging in terms of its community compared to others. The themes of the boxes are a bit less original and can sometimes feel a bit repetitive. It's common to receive fairly similar products from one month to the next.

✅ In summary, I recommend Glowria for those looking to get a variety of cosmetic products without breaking the bank. The Glowria Advent Calendar is perfect for this as well! 👍
