Im going to use the gift bag......as a gift bag haha!

Yeah some people are never happy!

The only complaint i have ever seen that i agreed with is the complaint about one of the Glossybox's that they got Batiste......as i think thats a bit of a cop out!
People complain its to much make up or to much skincare....seriously, there are far more important things to think about!

i agree with the batiste, i would have been annoyed over that but i don't know what half of them expect tbh. the way half of them go on they all expect full size Chanel. whenever the boxes ask on Facebook "what are you hoping to see?" they get a barrage of "Mac! Benefit! Chanel!"

they all complain about too much skincare and carmine has said they basically are all make up, yet they stay with glossy box and just moan when they get skincare. the mind boggles :rotfl:

at xmas they all got like 5 boxes too to collect all the products and went mental when they got the same box twice. i seriously think half of them now just buy to have swops and feel part of the group rather than realising the money could actually just buy what they want outright :wall: a year of gb is like £150. at least we know a year of amarya at £120 is actually going to give us at least £240 of stuff as opposed to "samples".

boudoir prive/joliebox got a lot of vitriol over the tea both times when they included that too. i loved it, i think it it was great addition to the box and fitted well when they did a "lifestyle" section. they also got loads of "its loose! i don't even have a tea strainer! urgh!"

personally, i love amarya but i am into natural skincare and actually do want to try it all. i would rather not have boxes and ribbons and packaging because i feel i have to do something with it all and not just bin them. i love how this months box was right up for swops, i'd bet she hasn't even tried it before coming to her conclusion, which is what these boxes are really all about. if she had the sachet wouldn't be up and neither would the caudalie!

Completely agree with all of your points on the beauty box's girls, I think some of them want things for the sake of it, I got excited by all the hype but I now just want things I'm going to use, I'm hoping BP/JB are going to upp their game - otherwise they'll be off too!

I'm hoping that with bp/jb too! if they don't they are going and I'm just keeping amarya.

jut read the blurbs properly and the dr haushka cream says it reduces redness so if it manages to reduces my tomato face after a run at the gym it'll be a permanent fixture :rotfl:

Hurrah, another UU! Body Shop Moringa Body Butter - WIBA? Yes, although obviously only on some form of glitch....this was bought on last year's groupon deal, combined with a sale offer IIRC. I love the fragrance, and it's lovely and rich. Have now got a S&G Daily Smooth out - on a quick first use just on the bits of me that there wasn't enough Moringa for last night, I'm very impressed.....

Actually, while I think about it, I'm going to call my Avon MagiX Cashmere Finish foundation a UU too - it's reached the point now where it's literally spluttering, and I'm afraid I'm not prepared to cut the tube open - waaaay too messy! :rotfl: WIBA? Without question this is the nicest foundation I've ever used, so yes. I don't need to yet though as I have one in stash already! I'll get another one in ready if any good offers come up soonish - we're due a foundation special in a few campaign's time, but there's a new one launching first so it won't be until after that.

Itzy that sounds like a horrible reaction to that cream - I hope you're feeling soothed soon!

I just got it from Asda of all places, it comes in an orange packet and was a whopping 90p :rotfl:

I've been brave this morning and NOT used any moisturiser after it just to see if it stops my skin getting as oily through the day.

OMG this takes me back to child hood when we always used this or pears soap....can still remember how they both smelt:)

Another UU:

St Ives Face Wipes.
WIBA? Yeah they were good enough and done the job, got another pack in my stash to get through first as they were bogof.
