    i get this every month and they have always charged postage. i used to think they were really good, you always get some full-sized stuff in there too but the last 2 months havent been to my taste or beauty profile so im considering cancelling it.

    For those of us who prefer natural products (SLS, paraben, mineral oil, PEG free etc), Amarya do their own beauty box which guarantees at least one full sized product worth £20 each month plus samples.

    I've just seen a review for the December one. Three products. One gift box containing two full sized products, this. Looks lovely, plus a Dr Hauschka cleansing cream sample, and a small perfume sample. Thanks for posting.

    A good box for the money, so am very tempted. Will wait and see what this months Carmine box has to offer. Judging by past reviews, has always been consistently good, so a keeper, so far, for me. I'm so tempted by this though as right up my street.
    Oh well...

  • I can't use "normal" skincare so the Amarya one is perfect for me. Although Carmine does have mostly natural brands from what I can see, there is always the chance that I'll end up with KMS/Lulu products etc which would be a real waste of money for me.

    My skins sensitive, but am alright as long as not smothering my skin with make-up. I definitely prefer brands that use natural ingredients (in a way that works), to others ones that don't.

    Have you had many Amarya boxes?

    No, waiting for my first one next month. I wanted to see what the quality was like before I jumped in but all the past boxes have contained good stuff so I've taken the plunge now. :D

    Sounds lovely, will have to go on their site and have a look for those now. Could do with some good lip cream/balm. :D

    Just looked, and those shampoos look lovely. Which one did you receive, as there were three different ones ranging from £16-£20?

    The lip calm looked lovely too.
    Oh well...

    Hi all,

    I can thoroughly recommend the Amarya beauty boxes. They are great value for money and every month you get at least 1 full sized item worth £20+ along with the other items. I really like them as they are organic and natural. You can have a look on the website to see what past boxes are like.

    If anyone is thinking of doing a subscription to Amarya, if you are willing to let me refer you then PM me. We would both get a free month's box at the end of 12 months. There is no tie in during this period though if you decided it wasn't for you :)
