Anyone know when the September GB is being dispatched? Since they changed the website I'm finding it really hard to find anything out!

Their posting them On the 17th September

Has anyone had their Lux box yet?

Missli

No, if they dispatched them late Friday (guessing?), maybe RM didn't dispatch them until the following day, and Saturdays are hit and miss with post. Perhaps why no-one has received them yet?

Thanks, Missli

I'm definitely going to give the Dr. Hauschka a go, what's the worst that can happen?!

And I agree with lip balm sticks vs pots, with the little pots, half of it ends up under my nails! :rotfl:

Just received my Lux Box. Not very impressed at all.
Interested to know what others think.

I'm not sure whats happening with LuxBox for me at the moment. I have paid for a special edition box for myself (birthday treat), but they have been sporadic in taking payments for my boxes, which I have always received, and have had no responses to emails, or phonecalls asking them to take payments still!

I don't think I will be overwhelmed (if I receive one) judging by responses so far.

Just got my LuxBox, not that happy with it, especially after waiting this long!

Everything is so small, only enough for 1-4 uses (face mask, 1 use, oil-free sunscreen, about 3 uses, moisturiser, maybe 5 uses). Don't really like the look of the hair pomade and don't have much use for it. Think I'll give this to my mum. However, the anti-ageing oil might be really good. quite excited to try this. moisturiser was nice, but it's really just a sample size they'd give away for free, same with the sunscreen. The only thing (in the sizes they gave) I would actually buy is the anti ageing oil and possibly the face mask, depending on how good it is.

Their previous boxes looked so much better, perhaps some months are better than others for beauty boxes. Do others feel like this also, or just me? Are the boxes in November / December really good just before Christmas?

Also, are you supposed to get a card with the information on the products with luxbox? I didn't get one which I found a bit strange.

I spent yesterday evening organising my toiletries. I've always kept the Soap & Glory stuff together, the Body Shop stuff together, etc, and all in little tubs. In fact I've been decanting things into my empty beauty boxes for months now. I gathered it all together and sorted by haircare, skincare, body, etc. I had so many unopened body washes and body lotions they each fill a tub the size of a laundry basket!!! I've used one of my sons old toyboxes just to store shampoo and conditioner bottles. I have some that must be 7 or 8 years old and I've no idea if they're even still safe to use.

I'm totally horrified with myself. I think I'll have no need to buy shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, moisturiser, etc for about five years. Because it was so scattered around the house I had no idea how much I had. I thought we'd run out of toothpaste and bought some more, only to find I now have two beauty boxes full of unopened toothpaste!

I got a flyer through the door asking for unused toiletries so I'll fill a bag (or three) for them, but I'm really going to have to stop buying toiletries from today. I have my GB and SSB subscriptions running for three more months and I signed up for the Beauty Bible trial, but after that - no more!!!

I'd love to see a picture of your collection.
My OH always makes fun of me for having 2 bottles of shower gel as back up but I'd buy more if I had the room.

I'm not currently signed up to any of the boxes but I'm wondering if I should treat myself to a Joliebox/SSB or Glossybox when their christmas boxes come out....

I didn't get an information leaflet either, I'm pretty sure we usually do.

I'm not impressed.

Hair pomade, not entirely sure how many people would actually use this. I like the smell though. I might just rub it on things to make them smell nice.
Also like the smell of the anti aging oil, although I'm not entirely sure what to do with it.
What is the small pot of moisturiser? Is it a face one or a body one, 'Unique' isn't really helpful...
Face mask feels fun and at least I've enjoyed squidging the packet.
Sun cream isn't strong enough for me unfortunately

Well, overall disappointed, they can have one more month to redeem themselves.

As an aside, is SSB a rolling subscription? I subscribed, got two boxes then was wondering when this months was going to arrive only to discover it looks like I no longer have a subscription. Didn't cancel, so not entirely sure what happened...
