You're totally right and I'm not going to start a fight on it as I thought the whole point of this forum was to express our opinions on these products. The large bottles received in mine (don't want to give specific spoilers) were the main thing I didn't like the smell of. The non-beauty related product was the best thing but I won't use it (and it seemed odd to provide it without something to use with it) and when I googled the so-called "top brand" the first result was an American gynaecologist. With regards to the other brand, the only thing I could find for them was a blogger saying how they could find nothing else online. This is here, although I must SPOILER ALERT it as it tells you the brand. http://www.thestylebox.com/2012/11/13/beauty-kipos-toner-cleansing-milk/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beauty-kipos-toner-cleansing-milk
This post is not directed at the person quoted (in fact it is in support of them), it's just a general thing backing up my previous comments.
I don't want to try out the same old carp but I just didn't connect with this box at all. I'm not a snob - I didn't get on with Amarya either - I just felt that for the higher price tag I would have preferred a more high end product than what was received. I would love to find some pricing information on this brand so that I could compare it to a more familiar brand.

I spent quite a while googling the products I received and came up with some websites both the companies and others - I like to know what I'm talking about when I'm blogging it.

I do think maybe 1 item should have been a bit clearer labelled on 1 certain ingredient - it's nothing to worry about in fact I use it morning and night at the moment from a different Korean company and really like it but it might have a few people looking like this - :eek:

The total RRP of the products in my box was around: £88 (minus the non beauty item)

I'm more than happy to share those websites - I don't know if I can just post them here otherwise I would have. .


(Just thought I would say you by no means sound like you want a fight - hope I don't either as I don't just thought as I had some information it might help with you getting some use out of this box as well you have paid for it after all .)

I'd find it hard, sit firmly on your hands. It will be worth waiting for a treat a day December.

I received an email from Jessie at BB saying my products should be with me within the next 24 hours. It had a list of what should be in it; I did a brief search and estimated it having a retail value of approx £283 (not knowing sizes, so a guess!). All looks good, my lips are sealed now, I hope it comes tomorrow.

My BB arrived today!! well actually yesterday, a kind neighbour got the delivery and no message was left for me to pick it up... Anyway, the products are worth ~£170! I have the green products tested. I am really excited trying all of them! Unfortunately the package of one of the products was not strong enough to survive the travel, but I can still use it. My questionnaire also arrived today! Better than any beauty box! Thank you to the lady who first initiated the discussion about the BB!

I have just bought my second LIB anti aging BB box. I cannot recommend the skin truffle highly enough. It is awesome and leaves my skin looking and feeling divine. A little goes a long way. Unfortunately it costs £80 for 50mL. The LIB box is £20 and contains a generous 15mL sample along with lots of other great quality products. I make that good value and am having to restrain from buying more.

The BB box is well worth waiting for folks. I am really enjoying my product testing (nothing holds a candle to the skin truffle yet though!).

Just finished filling in my first BB questionnaire, which was due in 15/11 - took me ages! Realised after I filled it in, that I hadn't noticed one product, so I assumed it was on the other one which is due in in January, but when I checked, it's not. so I've emailed Jessie to let her know.

And now for a bit of mischief making - is anybody tempted by the Selfridges Lucky Bag?

I've just signed up to Notanotherbill this month, and I still have three boxes on the go atm, so I'll be giving it a miss. I'm surprised there's still some left really.

Yep I ordered a selfridges lucky bag. As I missed the selfridges advent calendar (even tho gave the boyf numerous hints) and still no BB. So I couldn't just leave it...my glossybox is out for delivery today,already had a sneaky look. So majorly chuffed with what's inside. I'm not going to risk doing a spoiler as knowing my luck I'd do it wrong lol.

I've got a special delivery red card, bet its BB!

Tempted by LIB, BB, because of the Skin Truffle, but being good, as have loads of overnight creams so am being good, plus what I've got coming in my package looks useful, and pampering.

I am trying so hard not to look at the Selfridges goody bag. The one beauty product I could really do with is a decent blusher, or bronzer, although have Benetint. I like the look of some of the mineral powder ones.
