    I just ordered all four of the Betrousse boxes. I'm supposed to be on a beauty box diet. Not good:o

    You've got tonnes of stuff for your money. Just keep telling yourself that! :D

    Thank you Missli for posting the content of your Luxbox. It's really good value for money but not really a box for me. I had a subscription for JB, GB and luxbox but unsuscribed GB and Luxbox in September after being disappointed with both box as I thought they were poor value for money. I have decided to get boxes from them occasionally after seing the content. I guess I'd rather not be surprised than getting a bad one. I only kept JB because I didn't want to unsuscribe to all of them but I didn't really like the September and October boxes.

    I did get the October GB which I really like, even though I wish I got the BB cream. I got the enzyme mask instead which was actually quite nice.

    I had a look at the SSB spolier and tought it looked great and decided to get it, but will probably not keep a rolling subscription either. I'm also still waiting for the green BB box :(. Should be getting it next week.
  • I received both my SSB and the unwanted LuxBox a while ago, same contents as has already been posted. I'm going to go against the grain and say that I was quite happy with the SSB with the sole exception of the
    lipgloss, sparkles aren't really my thing. I'm interested to try the Weleda especially, and I'll give the Redken samples to my mum.

    Luxbox on the other hand. To be honest, this box would have had to have been AMAZING for me to be happy, considering I didn't want it in the first place.
    The fake tan products are completely useless for me, I'm pale and happy with it. I look like an oompa loompa if I tan! The oil sample things look ok though and my sister will like the eyeliner.
    I'm just really annoyed that they've claimed to have cancelled my subscription and clearly haven't. Sending products I dislike just adds to the annoyance! I've had to cancel my Joliebox since I can't guarantee if Luxbox are going to keep on charging me, and I can't justify two boxes at the same time.
    Everyday I am asked to be a magician, in a world where magic does not exist.

    Will anyone be buying the LIB Advent Calendar beauty box? http://www.latestinbeauty.com/youac/

    £59.95 for products apparently worth £210, but I'm going to pass on this as I can only see 2-3 items I might be interested in.

    I really like the look of it, and there are lots of items I would like, but sadly I can't justify the price :(
    Addicted to MSE, I can't resist a bargain ;)

    I've just got one SSB to come from their bargain 6 month jubilee offer. I won't be renewing as just have Amarya, and now LuxBox again which I'm happy with.

    Hoping the postie brings me something nice today! Think we must be amongst the last for the BB! :D

    I finally received my BB today, very disappointed as two of the products are completely destroyed. I have emailed, so hoping they will be replaced! Otherwise, I'm excited about trying everything!
