  • I got three of my Betrousse boxes today, one more to come. A French courier delivered them which was a nice touch:D But I think he was alarmed by my polar bear pyjamas and mad morning hair. French women probably look immaculate by 10am on a Saturday!

    got my organic one today,not too thrilled as got bath salts instead of shower gel:(also the hair mascara said black on the english writing and brun(brown ) on the french,was supposed to be dark brown but is in fact jet black so totally useless:(:(:(so will probabaly only use 3/5 items

    think my courier was eastern european!

    I did get the bath salts:D Last box just turned up. It's a pretty bottle though. If you're not keen they'd make a nice present for a teacher or relative.

    (My hair mascara is black (but says it's brown) too.)

    I'm in group 59 too and received mine today, and it seems like I'm one of the only people to be disappointed!! Obviously I won't name what I got but most of it is unsuitable for me, it seems like my questionnaire was ignored (or I was put in the wrong group) one of them is for dry & mature skin - I'm 26 with combination skin! I hope everyone else has more luck with the testing :)



    I got invited to pay my £30 to BB today but it said in bold on the email only suitable for 35 years old + so I haven't paid it. Do I have to reapply for the next one or do they keep everyone on a database type thing? Sorry if this has been answered before!

    I wish I'd ordered now, as the only thing I'd run out of from my original box was the bath salts (I did not want a shower gel though). They really feel like a luxury product, and would have been worth ordering discounted, just for those.

    Everything else in the box seems to be lasting for ages. Worth it even at full price.

    Loving my BB stuff. Mines the green/anti-ageing (group 55, geared towards the latter).

    I've got plenty of products to keep me amused, so my current subscriptions are Amarya, and Luxbox, although apparently there is no November Luxbox due to missing boxes. I hope there are more quality make-up products in upcoming boxes, I have mislaid the lovely Inika eyeliner in peacock blue I received a past box (can't remember which one!).

    i emailed on the off chance as i heard they had just green groups left and i'm well short of the 35 age cut off, they put me in one just for green. email them and say you aren't 35 but will go just green, they were pretty quick to get back to me as well.
