    They have already put up my Glossydot review surveys so I know which brands I'll be getting!

    Semi spoiler - one of them is definitely disappointing!

  • I just read that the Beauty Bible involves 20,000 testers, so it might be a while before I see any packages arrive : (! Oh well!

    Got my October Glossy Box today. It contains:

    (spoiler)

    • A Sally Hansen nail polish in Calypso Blue - a bit bright, but good for holiday toes
    • Yves Rocher hydravegetal Instant Anti-Wrinkle moisturiser - feels a bit tight on my dry skin
    • DrJart+ (new one on me) Beauty Balm - looks decent on my hand
    • Anatomicals Body Scrub in grapefruit (yet to try)
    • Skinetica antiblemish lotion - apply with cotton pad - says kind to skin but smells as though it might be a bit robust


    So I'm content with that. Hope you have all had decent experiences with your GB contents this month.

    Had my GB today, similar to HollyB's. I got:

    Sally Hansen complete manicure in Black platinum - £6.99

    Yves Rocher hydra vegetable instant anti-wrinkle moisturiser - 30ml full size tube - £18

    Green People self-tan - 20ml - approx £2

    Anatomicals body scrub - 75ml - approx value £1.50

    Skinetica anti-blemish - approx 10ml - approx value £1

    So with the YR cream making the box good value, I'm fairly pleased. Would have liked the BB cream instead of the self-tan though.

    Be interesting to see what was in the other box variants as looking at the GB website nothing jumps out at me. Hope the rest of you are pleased with your boxes. I'm only having it until Dec and am then only going to get boxes now and then if the mood strikes.

    Have decided that I really don't need three beauty boxes a month so I'm going to cut them down to one (eventually!)

    I'm going to start with getting rid of GB first, primarily because that's the only one I'm currently paying postage on. I might resub for the odd one though.

    I'm going to lose Amarya as well unfortunately, once I start having to pay postage on that next year, as while I liked the original concept it's starting to feel like pretty much any beauty box.

    That will leave me with JB/Birchbox, whatever it ends up being called. For me, there's been loads of new brands I've discovered through JB, and it is my favourite. Of course, it depends on where its new owner takes it.

    However, I need more than one little treat coming through the post every month, so I've signed up for notanotherbill which sends a little surprise gift every month. Looking forward to my first box in November.

    Hollyberry I've been coveting the Dr Jaart BB creams for ages, they're supposed to be really good!
