    theres different things in each box hun, pay monthly by direct debit then they are delivered to you

    the contain samples (not tiny sachet samples) and sometimes full sized products from different companies

    Loads of Beauty Gurus on YouTube do reviews of the boxes each month so it's worth watching a few month's worth to see if a box is for you. I have never been tempted because I just know I would not like all the products and would rather put that money towards a product I've always wanted. A couple of months ago one of the beauty boxes sent some people a really expensive item and other people a less expensive item. One guru I watch got a product worth a few pounds and she discovered other people had got a product that was really expensive. I would have been very annoyed if that was me. I notice there is a new box out that is £17, but contains all full-size products which seems a better deal than a load of samples for £10.

    there's a discussion thread HERE where forumites talk about what they've received, what they think of the products etc.

    (They will often write in white text to avoid spoling the surprise for those yet to receive their box. Just highlight the text to reveal all).

    You beat me to it! Its in the 'freebies (low) spend' board if you needed to know where it was.

    I've not ordered myself, the cost seems a bit steep for me but I tend to live off ebay for smaller sample type items so perhaps I'm a bit spoilt!

    It's called Betrousse. I saw the products from the box in this video:

    Not very MSE but I get a beauty box. I get Glossybox. £10 + 2 pp. Itis like a pressie to myself once a month.

    Overall, I've been pleased with what I get and the size of some of the stuff is very good. Anything I don't want I'm collecting in a spare box for my daughter when she comes back from uni, so a little pressie for her too!
