Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

Marnova

I got my SSB box today.

Same as some others:

White Glo Professional Choice toothpaste 24g
Balance Me Rose Otto Intensive Lip Salve FULL SIZE 10ml
Redken Color Extend Radiant-10 30ml
Papier Poudre (Rachel) - FULL SIZE 20 leafs
Absolutely Flawless Nail Foils - 16 foils
Bonus item 4711 Eau de Cologne 3ml

My thoughts:
I don't mind having travel size toothpaste - always useful, as is the lip salve, a nice brand too.

I don't have coloured hair, but will try out the Redken spray anyway and see if it's protective properties help.

My mum used Papier Poudre and I have combination skin, so was quite nostalgic to see this and see that the brand still endures. The leaflet said full size was 20 leaves, but the old books used to have more? I will use this. And also the thing I like about Papier Poudre is that it has powder on the pages, unlike blotting papers and you don't need a brush or puff to put it on.

Don't mind nail foils, but would rather not have had leopard print!!

Bonus cologne isn't a thriller, but will probably come in useful sometime - cute teeny bottle!

Although there's nothing in the box that wows me, I'm quite happy with my box (esp as I used the Jubilee offer) as they are products I wouldn't usually buy and the whole point for me is I get to try new products.

All in all, quite OK, but probably wouldn't be happy if I paid full price

I had the same as Rosemary but I got my nails inc mini in 'brook st' which is a salmon colour - I'm happy with that

I'm also a little underwhelmed as the rest of the items I already have expect the hair treatment, I forgot about that - looks good actually- my other box is at the depot for me to collect tomorrow so I'm hoping for another colour nails inc mini and not the foils - although I've never tried them, it's not really my thing

Still no July Joliebox or Luxbox

I seem to have lost them on facebook? Can't find their page??

edit to add - I had to go via their website.

Amarya works out at £22.40 BUT you also get loyalty points, which is only really worth it if you're planning to buy more from there in future.

The REN works out at £24 with the 20% discount BUT you can't combine that with the "six of the best" offer. REN checkout will only accept one offer code per transaction - trust me, I keep trying to fool it and haven't managed it yet! :rotfl:

I ended up just ordering it through amarya, as through REN it would have been £24 (plus £3 shipping)
or £30(plus £3 shipping) full price but with the 'six of the best' set and 2 samples

My SSB boxes arrived today. I ended up with two because I was paying monthly and cancelled for the half price deal. Wasn't the best month to get two boxes but never mind.

It wasn't the best box but it wasn't terrible and hopefully next months will be better

White Glo Professional Choice toothpaste
It will get used by somebody (eventually)

Redken Color Extend Radiant-10
I have just bleached and coloured my hair so this will be useful

Papier Poudre Powdered Paper
Erm .... what can you really say about these?

Absolutely Flawless Nail Foils
Both the boxes had these in. I would have preferred a nail varnish (or two.) I haven't tried nail foils before though and as I have a [STRIKE]slight[/STRIKE] huge nail varnish obsession it is something I would have bought to try eventually anyway.

4711 Eau De Cologne
Not nice.

Balance Me Rose Otto Lip Salve
I love lip products and I didn't get this with Glamour. I really like it. The smell reminds of something.

I don't know why but that really tickled me :rotfl:
That's exactly how I feel


Lux is supposed to be sent out this week - they said that on Monday so I'm assuming they will be posted tomorrow or Friday and we'll get them after the weekend.

Soon be Amarya time again :j:j:j

Lucky!

I only sub to GB and SSB at the moment. I keep eyeing up Amarya and Joliebox though. Must. Resist.

Still no lux or Jolie box - getting impatient now, especially as lots of people had their Jolie boxes weeks ago :0(

Ps - is there any way to highlight/read a spoiler on an iPhone?

I received my SSB yesterday, and got the same as most others, the dreaded nail foils! :rotfl:

It wasn't bad for what I paid with the jubilee offer. I had a lip balm from the Glamour giveaway so donated to my sister. I will use everything else. I even like the mini bonus item. Retro!

My nailfoils were crimson, and silver garish delights. My sister and I are going to play around with them tonight as have never used before. A bit of fun.

Got my REN bath oil with a lovely mini sample of REN Hydracalm face wash included free, so that made up for any disappointment.
