    Got my Joliebox today as well, which was a surprise.
    In my box:
    Etat Pur salicylic acid treatment 15ml (full size)
    Jane Iredale self-tanner
    Nailgirls gold and bronze mini-polishes
    JB toe separaters
    Wen cleansing conditioner 60ml
    Surprise item - RMK primer. 15ml (half size) Glad I got this, as I really liked it.


    You won a Clarisonic?:T:T:T

    I have been umming and ahhing over investing in one of those for over a year! Is it working well for you?

    My Joliebox(es) came too. In white -

    Both had the two little metallic polishes and the tan thingy - not impressed, and the Wen conditioner which I am very interested in. Only using one product to wash my hair does appeal!

    Then one box had an Etat Pur Mask and the other had Salicylic Acid. I like their cleansing water so I'll be happy to give these a go.

    Then my bonus items were a 15ml Essential Care Organic Moisturiser, and a Talika lash growth treatment. Very interesting, and I'm glad I didn't get a dupe box!


    I've cancelled one but my money situation has improved (got a new job!) so Iwill keep the other for now.

    I bought one last summer as a treat for my birthday and have to say it was one of the worst purchases I have ever made.
    My skin never improved like I had read in so many reviews, in fact it made me break out like crazy, which is called 'purging' and I was told it would improve after a few weeks, but it never did, so I stopped using it and it's now sitting in a drawer, unused and unloved!

    Hi Missli,

    I got the elemental herbology cell plumping hydrator too from whats in my handbag and it smells amazing :) Haven't received my Joliebox, so don't know what I'll end up with, shame you were disappointed with yours.

    It will be interesting to try, once I've used up my already opened REN goodies. Was pleased to receive as the full-size isn't cheap.
    New forum. New sig. Yes I still need to lose 2 stone! :smiley:

    Purplebutterfly - I have the opposite problem to you my hair is really fine, so fine I have to use childrens hairbands and they still slide out. Do you know if those spiral hair pins work with fine hair as well?

    Hi :j I'm the same, my hair is ridiculously thin and at it's thickest in a band i'd say it's no more than 2-3 fingers width, *grrrr hate having thin hair*
    anyhoo, the spiral pins work on my hair fine, even normal kirby grips all straight out but the pins work. I also got the ebay china ones and they work perfectly hun x

    According to FB, July's GB will be posted on Monday (23rd July) which is why there are no spoilers out there yet.

    Can I also just a say a huge welcome to the new posters and thanks for joining in!

    Please speak honestly - if 20 people hate a beauty box and you love it, then say so! Feel free to post any links to anything you feel might be of interest and if you see a beauty box code or deal, please post it or PM me so I can update the OP.

    Have fun and hide your bank cards!
