The Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser. Was given two of these by a friend for my teenage son, now I have four! He'd better start using it!
Miners Phatliner in black.
S-File. From that Apprentice guy!
Layla D Natural Beauty Honey day moisturiser. My favourite item.
Icecrystals sample sachet
Eden Natural Nail Polish Remover vial.
There's nothing that I won't use, though I really didn't need to double up. Even though both were discounted it feels pretty wasteful and greedy.
The Royal Mail vans just been, and I got my SSB box. Exactly the same as gentleorgange. I'm pleased with it, although one of the items I received was different to what my card said (Nail polish remover vial, instead of sample bronzing gel). I really believe there is no good, or bad box, just a couple of variations, which people may or may not prefer.
I haven't got acne, but the Murad cleanser will come in handy for the odd spot I currently have, and I am most definitely not a teenager. :rotfl: The only thing I'd have liked other than what I had would have been the eyelash curlers, but the Phat Liner is very me, can see myself using with the Flick-tips from last months Lux Box.
I love the look of the Layla honey moisturiser, plus the Eden natural nail polish remover as I love natural products. I thought the latter was a perfume vial to begin with, and applied to my wrists, and kept sniffing it, thinking not bad for a perfume sample! :rotfl:
My nails could do with glamming up, so a decent nail file will come in handy, although have a mini glass one somewhere.
The icecrystals sachet is small, but will be nice to try, plus the Debenhams card is what it is, just an extra, but still handy.
My variation was cheaper in cost than the other one, but for me everything was good, and more suited to what I like. Very pleased. :TNew forum. New sig. Yes I still need to lose 2 stone!0 -
Glad you got your box eventually missli hun - and even more glad that you liked it!
Now then *insert high pitched squeal of joy here* I poppped to Nisa for some milk and they had the July Glamour mags with Balance Me freebies already on the shelves!!! Even better, they had one of each free gift too, so I picked up 4 mags :j
I already know that I love the lip salve and eye cream but I'll try the face wash and moisturiser tonight and then see about picking up a load more mags tomorrow. The doctors' surgery, pharmacy, hospital and dentist are always glad of extra magazines for the waiting rooms and I'm getting lovely bargain skincare. Woo hoo!Living with Lupus is like juggling with butterflies0 -

So far I've picked up the the lip salve (which I'm loving) and the day cream. Must stock up!! Yikes my house is already coming down with the Porefessional samples from last month :rotfl:
Still no Joliebox - argh!! So over it now!! If there was a refund option I would take it. Shame I WAS so excited...!0 -
I only got one of the Porefessional samples because I already have 5 primers knocking about .......... but then I discovered that I really liked it and wished I'd got more.
I won't make the same mistake this month!
Joliebox didn't excite me anyway because I looked at the spoilersbut now even the thought of it just irritates me. Paying customers get treated like dirt whilst the bloggers got their boxes with no problems because JB don't want to miss out on free publicity from their little pets.

Seriously, if you want to promote your business then at least try to be clever about it. From looking at your other 5 MSE posts, I see that they are all business promotions too, with links to sites that are all affiliated.
Sorry, but self-promotion is against MSE rules as you are already well-aware. This rule ensures that the site is unbiased and objective and is the reason for MSE's success.
I have hit the spam button on the post and would ask other thread subscribers to do the same.Living with Lupus is like juggling with butterflies0 -

I managed to get 3 of the products, but was at my local little shop. I just need the eye-cream to complete my set, and will probably get extras.New forum. New sig. Yes I still need to lose 2 stone!0 -
Just washed my face and fell completely in love with the Balance Me cleansing wash. It is so foamy and creamy and smells like a Lush bathbomb of yesteryear. Will definitely stock up on those.
I have decided to forgo my night serum in order to try the Balancing Moisturiser. Not overly keen on the smell, it smells a bit like cheap incense sticks. It's a tiny bit tight and tingly on my skin right nowbut I'll sleep in it and see how my skin feels in the morning.
