Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

Missli

PB, good to hear you finally have water. It must have been frustrating to be without a kitchen sink. Rose80, good to see you on here, and glad baby slept well.

I'm not re-subbing to SSB once my Jubilee offer has expired, and will probably cancel GB again, to make up for the special edition Lux ordered. Lux, and Amarya consistently have high-end products in their boxes so will be my only subs soon. I feel good, that I've finally made a decision (until I change my mind again!;)).

I'd be interested in knowing whether being a beauty bible tester has worked out well in terms of value for money? :-)

I've done it twice; i think it cost around £30ish each time.

I got ten products each time ranging from a £1 Superdrug hairspray up to a face cream worth around £80 (which i hated).

There was a couple of products in each bundle i never used (after the intitial test) like hairspray, bronzer, etc. And i couple i really liked.

The questionares they supply are pretty intensive so it does take a while to fill out.
They do match the products to you skin type/colouring etc.

I'm my opinion its pretty much like the beauty boxes - its good value if you like the products but thats a risk you have to be prepared to take.

I'm doing it again for the green update. I did it before and my mum has done it, we both paid £30 and got over £200 worth of products. My mum got a really expensive anti ageing kit that's basically a chemistry set from dr lewinns from them and that was worth £80 alone!

I love doing it. There's normally a real mixed bag of things, with varying values. Cheapest thing I got was a pair of E.L.F tweezers, which were really good, actually, but in the same bundle I got a Dior face cream that was around £80 and I've also had a Prevage eye cream - can't remember whether it was the same time. I think they normally include at least one luxury product. Oh, and everything I've had has been full sized.

EDIT: Meant to actually quote Marnova there, but I'm sure evilsquid (love the name) won't mind!

Thanks Missli, good to have a chance to be back on, can't bear to miss the deals!

I'm planning to reduce my subscriptions too but won't make promises till I see what deals come up - I'm thinking ssb may try something when the jubilee'ers deal comes to an end and we all cancel!

Sat here with the hair treatment from LHC on. Leaving it on overnight, hoping it doesn't do anything awful to my hair! in hindsight maybe should've tried it out for an hour first before doing it overnight but it's 1am, bit late to wash it out now will post results tomorrow!

I didn't realise you could use aloe vera gel on stretchmarks - has anyone tried it? It feels much nicer on my skin than Bio Oil (I gave up on that pretty quickly!)

I've just accidentally come across a spoiler as to a couple of products in this month's Joliebox, on the Facebook page of the brand in question. I'm not entirely sure if you get both products, or whether it's an either/or - the prices of each differ considerably so I'm hoping it's both.

Does anyone want me to put a spoiler up or will the temptation be too much?

Thanks for the feedback on Beauty Bible experiences! Think I'll give it a whirl, especially if they profile :-) I think I was lucky enough to find products when I was quite young, but think I have got stuck in a rut and there are probably better products out there these days. All said and done, I still totally love Shu Uemura, even if they did sell out to L'Oreal, and glad there is more than one stockist in the UK these days!

Anyone know any valid codes for the next glossybox
