Mijn MENING over GLOWRIA in 2024: is het zijn prijs waard?

Before I discovered Glowria, I wasn’t really interested in beauty boxes. I was afraid of being overwhelmed with all sorts of samples when what I really wanted were full-sized products. However, what made me want to subscribe is that the Glowria beauty box offers only full-size products!

After having received and tested 3 boxes, I’m sharing my thoughts so you can decide if this subscription box is really worth it or not.

What is the Glowria Box?

💖 I Loved It

• Receive beauty products every month,
• The full-size products,
• Quality brands,
• 2 boxes in summer (no double boxes),
• Attractive pricing for the value of the products.

❌ I Liked It Less

• No personalization based on profile,
• Boxes are quite repetitive,
• No promo codes available,
• You cannot view past boxes on the site,
• There is no gift card option.

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 to become the Glowria box. It is a monthly subscription box delivered to your home, containing a selection of cosmetic products.

The unique feature of Glowria is that the products are offered in full sizes, which means larger formats, unlike the samples and miniatures typically 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 every month, often accompanied by accessories such as masks, makeup sponges, and more…

Receiving a beauty box means getting an original surprise in your mailbox every month, allowing you to pamper yourself and take care of yourself on a daily basis. 😉

Who is the Glowria box intended for?

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

• authentic,
• inclusive,
• and committed.

This desire to celebrate all types of beauty is one of the aspects that drew me to Glowria. The concept was already present in the previous Beautiful box, but it is now fully embraced, which is delightful!

👉 If you identify with this mindset, Glowria might be just the right fit for you!

What is the price of Glowria?

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

• 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 a duration of twelve months, but you will receive a free box. The choice is yours!

For my part, I preferred to choose 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 payment options does Glowria offer?

Even if you choose a monthly subscription, payment on Glowria can be made either through PayPal or with your credit card. This means that if your credit card expires during your subscription, be sure to update your payment information with the new card to continue receiving your box.

👉 For my part, I chose to pay with PayPal, which I find convenient and secure! 😉

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

When you order a beauty box online, you never really know what to expect and there might be a fear of disappointment. This is especially true with Glowria since the website doesn’t show previous boxes.

If you want to know more about what Glowria offers, let me take you through what a box can include, using this month’s edition, the August 2022 Glowria box, as an example.

The Glowria box for August 2022 – Life in Pink

This colorful box embraces the vintage trend, featuring a charming pink gingham theme!

Upon opening the box, I was able to uncover:

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

🔸 A palette of 4 blushes for achieving a trendy sixties look! – Bellapierre Cosmetics (worth: $24)

🔸 A natural exfoliating mask – On the Wild Side (value: $15),

🔸 A super original burgundy mascara that creates stunning eyes! – Chella Beauty (value: $11),

And as a gift 🎁, a pretty pink scrunchy in a gingham pattern (value: $10)!

🤑 The total value of all the products, not including the beautiful box itself, is €75. For the price of the box, €16.90, you save over €58! In terms of price, the Glowria box is definitely a great deal.

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

👉 The Glowria box contains a well-balanced assortment of:

• facial and body care,
• cleansing products,
• makeup 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 know how to incorporate them into your beauty routine!

Can you gift a subscription to Glowria? 🎁

It’s a shame, but Glowria doesn’t yet offer a gift card with an activatable code like you can find with My Little Box, for example. To subscribe someone of your choice, you have two options:

• Sign up for a monthly payment plan and cancel whenever you want your subscription to end.
• Consider a yearly subscription for a fantastic gift!

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

Who Should You Gift a Glowria Box To?

A subscription box makes a perfect gift for a friend, your mom, your partner, or even a younger sister, cousin, niece, and more. An annual subscription can be a lovely group gift!

All it takes is for the person to love surprises for them to enjoy the world of Glowria!

Are you familiar with the Glowria Advent Calendar (formerly Beautiful Box by Au Féminin)?

As December approaches, fatigue often starts to set in. To help you take care of yourself before the holiday season, Glowria is offering a special limited edition box: it’s actually a beauty and wellness advent calendar!

Overview of the Glowria Advent Calendar

When will the Glowria Advent Calendar be available?

Typically, this Advent calendar goes on sale on Glowria’s website in the fall. Keep an eye on the site starting at the end of September!

Does this calendar really help you save money?

Yes! Its price is only $59 for 24 products, with a real value of over $460. With this calendar, you get a lot of quality cosmetic products, making 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, the calendar is available to you for the special price of $49!

Glowria is also a women’s magazine!

While visiting the Glowria website to get information about the beauty box, I made an exciting discovery: there is a Glowria magazine that you can find from the homepage by clicking on a link in the menu at the top.

This beauty-focused blog is exciting. It’s like a real magazine, but it’s free and always accessible. You’ll find 5 different sections:

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

What do those who have tried Glowria think? Discover customer reviews!

Reading the feedback from people who have tried a subscription box can really help when you’re unsure about ordering. However, gathering this information can be somewhat time-consuming. Luckily, I’ve done the work for you, and I’m excited to share it all in the following sections!

On the Glowria Box Website

On its website, Glowria highlights some customer reviews:

👉 These reviews are positive, but they have been handpicked from the site. For a bit more transparency, it’s best to check the verified reviews over on Trustpilot.

About Trustpilot

On Trustpilot, Glowria has only 194 reviews, which is fewer than most of its competitors. While this is certainly a sample, it is not comprehensive enough to be representative of all subscribers.

As I write this review, the rating I received is 3.1/5, which is considered average by the verified review platform. Let’s see what the actual situation is!

💚 Trustpilot Customers Appreciate:

• The full-size format of the box products,
• The price of the box,
• The savings achieved,
• The quality and brands of the products,
• The information provided in the accompanying brochure,
• The ability to pause the subscription upon request.

Positive review from a Glowria Box customer

❌ What they liked less about Glowria:

• Frequent delivery delays,
• Challenges in reaching customer service for some customers,
• Less diversity in product offerings.

Is Glowria a Scam? Can We Trust This Beauty Box?

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

👉 This is a promotional offer provided by a reputable company to attract new customers.

Glowria offers a customer service hotline 📞, but it’s only available from 10 AM to 12 PM, Monday through Friday. You can also send a message 📩 through a contact form.

Unlike many competing boxes, Glowria does not respond to customer reviews left on Trustpilot. This is a bit unfortunate, as it would be interesting to have the company’s perspective on the various issues encountered.

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

My Verdict on the Glowria Box ⭐⭐⭐

After three months of subscribing, here’s my take on the Glowria box. Having previously subscribed to other beauty boxes, including My Little Box, I really appreciated that Glowria offers full-size products at an unbeatable price.

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

👉 Another detail that I appreciated is receiving two boxes during the summer, one for July and one for August, whereas most competitors usually send a double box. That means two surprises!

However, I found the Glowria box to have a less cohesive community than others. The themes of the boxes are a bit less original and sometimes a bit repetitive. It happens that we receive quite 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 a great option for that too! 👍
