Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

Got my Luxbox, which was a surprise because I cancelled a month ago. I've sent an email telling them. If they send me a box next month they can not only refund my money but send me postage to send it back. For anyone who needs to cancel bear in mind they require 30 days notice. I cancelled on 2nd June, so effectively you may have to give notice of one box! I've just got a hefty vet bill so I think I may have to cull all boxes that I have on a subscription.

Anyway I'm keen to try the tooth stuff, and I now have five Murad acne cleansers but I tried it this morning and it's quite refreshing. I'm not impressed with the quality of the eye trio. Not very pigmented at all, plus the pan spun around in the plastic packaging when I was swatching it. It's going to be hard to work with!

Mine spins too, (In white); I hold it in place by touching the little applicator groove. It didn't look very pigmented when I tried it on my hand, but although I have gone very brown, it shows up well on the lids.

What tooth stuff did others get? I loved the Sicilian Lemon variety, very refreshing!

I've not received my Lux Box yet but I went out to buy more Glamour mags and saw that Red magazine has a trio of REN products free with it this month so I ended up buying that too. Not really as good value as the other one as the magazine costs £3.90 but I am a sucker for REN products.

I hope you get yours soon. It is my favourite box this month, out of the 2 I've received, although SSB was close.

I'm still looking out for my Jolie Box.

Got my LuxBox today. Have to say that I'm starting to get bored with the boxes now especially with all the delays. Gonna keep Pamper Secrets & Amarya though. Joliebox will be cancelled later tonight when I get on the pc as a bit worried they may go down the pan shortly with my money in their bank. She said is all paid up for 6 months thanks to the jubilee offer.

Got a copy of Red & 2 of Glamour as I only wanted the wash & eyecream. I have moisturisers galore now.

I've had a stinker of a day, despite two beauty boxes turning up :eek:

On a happy note, I loved my Lux Box. It's really interesting (again) and I will use everything that they sent.

I received my Jolie Box. It was really disappointing! Reasons in white (My make up item was a pot of white glitter! It's rubbish *sad face* Also, I got the wrong skincare type of moisturiser but as my skin is changeable I will probably be able to use it. I never use fake tan, so that is useless. The L'Occitane moisturiser isn't that exciting as it was in the LiB box. The loooooooong wait for the box didn't help either...)

Ah well...

Well, I'm really disappointed with the Balance Me moisturiser I know it's not intended as a night cream but it really didn't seem to moisturise my skin at all overnight. I'll keep it handy for wearing under makeup, as it sinks in very fast and leaves a matte finish, but it won't replace my current day or night creams. I'd like to try their other moisturiser at some point and see if it is any richer.

I emailed Lux re:my box and they've sent me a tracking number and told me that it has been posted. Stupidly, I looked at the spoilers in white so I know what I'm getting. For some reason, I saw the words "I've received my Lux box" and thought "oh, I'll read that, I'm not getting Lux". D'oh

So my only surprise this month now will be Amarya.

OH! (white) Has anyone used their style file from SSB? I tried it last night and really couldn't get on with it at all. At first I thought that it may be because I'm left handed but then I realised that that wouldn't make a difference. I have my nails shaped as a squared-off oval but the S file seemed to refuse to do anything except leave the tips curved, not flat. I ended up pressing the file to straighten it out so that I could use it - which rather defeats the object! I understand now why it isn't selling well, poor Tom.

purplebutterfly, I quite like mine, but then my nail-care regime leaves a lot to be desired. I'm happy with anything that makes them look less tatty.

Well still no JB for me and if it comes tomorrow will have red card instead as no-one in all day. I'm kind of wishing I'd signed up to LB instead this month as I like the sound of it and am so over the whole JB fiasco now. Especially as I've read on the FB page tonight that people are getting the boxes with other subscribers names and addresses on them and old subscribers are getting boxes with the introductory bonus item in them when the new subscribers, who are supposed to get them, aren't. The customised product isn't happening either so despite selling it as a customised box its not. Glad I unsubbed before they took July's payment today before I'd had June's box.

Rant over :rotfl:

Well almost, Amitee Pamper Secrets is also late this month :mad:

Off hunting freebies in magazines tomorrow.
