the card in the box only mentioned one so don't think it was missed out:(I find it confusing as to what items to expect as it is not clear at all from the website and I have emailed them ion the past to say so.am beginning to think i should not buy anymore after the next one comes as have so many boxes in the stash and lost count of what I ordered:eek:,also a lot of the stuff goes out as pressies so not trying it....just like the thrill of parcels coming:rotfl:

Oh. That's a shame It's odd that they have so many variations this time.

I'm the same about the excitement when the parcels come :rotfl: That's why JB has been such a let down - the disappointment each morning has been awful! (I know how silly that sounds but it's true :rotfl:)

Got 2 SSB boxes today (could not resist 60% offer ), both the same but looks like a different variation of the boxes already published on here.
I got:
Phat eye liner both in black. Okay will probably give it a go but I tend to use liquid eye liner.
Honey moisturiser, smell lovely and definetly a keeper. Decent size sample.
The murad cleanser, again quite like it and a great size for holidays.
Stylefile, look okay but I would not have spent £4.49 on it.
A tiny sample of freeze 24-7 not really my cup of tea and I hate sachets
A Tiny sample of Trilogy self tan bronzing gel 5ml, this still has the sticky dot on the back that would stick it to a magazine so not that great. 5ml will cover 1 leg so I don't understand the purpose of receiving this when it's not enough to make up your mind about the product.
The lovely Debenhams beauty card, again see no purpose for this as a bonus item when I can go and get it free with a purchase at Debenhams.

Quite like the box, but one of the boxes has already been opened, the box is damaged and the card with what is inside the box is missing. Still my favourite box though.

Missli - same here, email just arrived.

Marnova - unfortunately you are not the first person to complain about the men's GlossyBox. We've already had reports of Lilliputian toothpastes :rotfl: If I were you, I'd cancel quick sharp

I cancelled but I haven't sent the snotty email yet. It was I who received the Lilliputian toothpaste :-)

My father and I are both very small but the samples would barely cover his nose let alone an entire limb / his head. It's a real shame because the one that arrived prior to that (which my brother had) really was rather good. I was quite impressed, which is why I kept the sub up.x

I'm really glad to have received this one, especially since I only bought a new pair of eyelash curlers at the weekend.:T

I'm new to these beauty boxes and have just recived my second SIB box and was most dissapionted as my box seems quite rubbish comapared to the other box going round. That was the main reason i didn't go with GB as wanted a company that offered everyone the same things, plus i seem to be missing an item to.

I'm so happy with my box :-) I got the one I wanted

I agree that they seem to have no understanding of how to run a business - which, sadly, could prove to be the downfall of most of them. I'm not sure that there is room in the market for all of them anyway (with the exception of specialist, niche boxes), so late postage just makes it easier for customers to decide which one to cancel.

I got my SSB today - it's a lot better than I expected. Spoilers in white

I got the exact same box as you yesterday, was very happy with everything except the miners bronzer as I'm very happy the shade of pasty white that I am, the phatliner would have been fantastic for me as it's just what I'd use but nevermind eh. Just means a product that will sit in my make-up bag gathering dust - and hopefully not creating it! Tried joining that swap thing on fb but can't be doing with the jumping through hoops to get into it just to swap one item. Oh well eh! Here's to the next SSB box being a little closer to perfect.

This is the one I got. It's a bit "Meh" I have to say. I'd really like to never ever receive any fake tan or bronzer ever as it's totally pointless for me. I'd much rather have received the eyelash curler than the style file and I'm disappointed with the amount of free-in-Glamour-magazine sachet products...

Shame, normally the SSB one is my favourite of the lot!x

My SSB box arrived and it's not bad in my opinion, considering I got it on the Jubilee offer of 60% off and with cash back.

Anyway I got:

Phat eye liner both in black. value £3.99, not sure I'll use it but if I don't I have 2 people who would so will make a good present.

LaylaD Honey moisturiser, 15ml pot so worth about £4 ish - my favourite product.

Murad time release cleanser, value £5.50, collecting these at the moment but always a good item to have

Stylefile, value £4.49, will give it a go but probably would never have bought it

A 1ml sample of freeze 24-7 worth about 50p, not enough to see whether I'd want to invest really.

5ml sample of Trilogy self tan bronzing gel, only really enough for my face and it is unlikely that I would conduct a test of self-tan there so a bit of a pointless sample really. value approx 50p

The Debenhams beauty card, happy to get it as I don't have one but not a bonus item in my eyes.

So happy no eye lashes - yey

So all in all not bad and at least its a good mix of things. I managed to avoid the spoilers, scrolling through the quoted posts as I could see what was written faintly. :rotfl:
