Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

elisebutt65

Well Amitee is due to be sent out next week now - another problem with suppliers but they have said that July boxes will be sent out mid month so 2 boxes in one month!!!

Terrible way to run businesses! My Joliebox is now cancelled which is a shame - the 2 innovators (GB & BP) both gone from my shopping list all due to customer service and distribution issues!

Wish Feel Unique would come back as they were the BEST!

Morning ladies!

Well I still have no SSB box and no Jolie box. :mad:

I think this is a postal issue - RM in my area is dreadful and my daughter is still missing 3 birthday cards that should have arrived by Monday at the very latest (they have also taken to driving around in hire vans as opposed to the official red RM ones...). So, I have been trying to avoid the thread to stop teasing myself!

If I want to cancel Jolie have I missed the payment for the next box then? So I will be getting August's one whatever now? It's not the end of the world and I haven't decided to cancel it until I actually see what I get!

Received my first JolieBox (birthday) box and suffice it to say that I will not be getting another JB. If I absolutely had to like one thing about it, that would be the JolieMag :rotfl:

Yonka Pamplemousse
"90% ingredients of natural origin" but they had to put multiple parabens in the other 10%. There are plenty of paraben free products with 90%+ natural origin so I really don't understand. This is getting instabinned.

Instituit Esthederm Tanning Spray
Maybe I signed up for beauty boxes at the wrong time of year... Seriously !!!!!! is with all these tanning products??!? I like my skin tone the way it is thank you very much.

Jolie Nail File
Flimsy, feels super cheap - they should at least include something with retail value over 10p.

Elysambre Eye & Lip Pencil
This is just baffling. How can you have an eye and lip pencil? I don't want my eyes to be red/pink and I certainly don't want black/brown lips. The pencil I received is brown, so I'll be adding it to my mountain of eyeliners in various different shades of brown then...

Overall very disappointing.

I've just suspended my Jolie Box subscription although unfortunately looks like they are already processing the payment for the next box.

I haven't received mine still, but the postman hasn't been yet. It doesn't sound like I've much to get excited about, as have waited so long, have read all spoilers for it.

Yours sounds like its missing a product bunberry, and think I'd be disappointed too.

This box looks good, would be happy to get. Not holding out any hopes though!

Oh dear after massive will power display I've now caved and read the Joliebox spoilers. Is it a bad box? Or a good box but just far too late? I haven't received mine of course....will have to wait and see.

Bunberry I'd be shocked and mortified if you aren't indeed missing an item. I'd definitely contact JB!

How do I unsub from JB? I can't see anything obvious! Never mind, found it from a FB comment!

This was going to be my first Joliebox. I'm really cross that they would take payment for the new box before most people even have the current one. And I will not receive the bonus welcome item, because they will all be random now.

I'll be honest, these beauty boxes are beginning to feel like more of a chore than a treat... but you're stuck with me for at least 5 months until my GB/SSB subs run out:D (And I still love LIB)

Postmans finally delivered my JolieBox. Mine came in the orange box version. A shame as was after the cute girly one for my dressing table. I like the black drawstring bag the products come in.

I got 6 items in mine. I assume one was a bonus item, plus a couple of vouchers.

I received (in white):

Yon-ka Pamplemousse cream (50ml) - a decent size, apparently customised. I got the normal/dry skin version which I will keep for the winter when my skin gets dry. Currently its oily, with the odd blemish. I've got weird skin. It looks very nice, but I can't understand why Parabens were put in an otherwise natural product? I will use though.

L'Occitane Angelica hydration cream (15ml) - Looks lovely, although I have so many moisturisers now. Its one I'd be interested in. My voucher is for a free angelica cleansing gel when buying a full-sized angelica moisturiser.

Bronz Repair - I've gone very bronzed, so do not need. Will give to someone.

Elysambre Mascara - Its brown, plus I have loads, so will give to someone.

Volumising Shampoo - I do not need, as have thick waves/curls. I do not want a bouffant. Will see what its like on my daughters hair.

Jolie Nail file - A fun extra, but that is all.

The items in there are of decent quality, but feel its not really for me, as will only use the moisturisers, but luckily bought using a £5 off code, someone kindly gave me.

I dislike their apparent policy of favouring the bloggers. None of them received a brown mascara, and they all got theirs weeks before anyone else.

It looks like I've got another one coming despite me suspending my account, but that will be my last from them.

Looking forward to Amarya next week! :j

Hmm now that you mention it... there are definitely more items on the JB site than what I received in my box.

They'll be getting an email from me soon. Late box + missing item(s) + crappy selection = me :mad:

Did you suspend your account to cancel? Its what I did, or is there a better way? I'm not interested in having any more from them (apart from what I've now paid for).

I thought that was cheeky too. They didn't tell me by email, as other companies have.

I still enjoy mine, but have found this month frustrating. I'm happy sticking with Amarya, SSB, and Lux (despite delays, as is one I love).

The novelty has worn off of trying every available box.
