Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

LP87

Oh! I also got the free samples Kiehl's promised they'd send... They arrived on Wednesday along with a load of others they just chucked in for me. So happy with this! :-) xxx

I like the look of yours, but glad I didn't re-sub.

I have to say I think I got lucky .

But it's just so hit and miss with them, I'm unlucky more than lucky.

can someone please tell me what the SSb email was about as I have not had it!I am expecting a free box next month as well over 1000 points.hope it is not like halfprice perfumes where I was £1.50 off a coupon and they scrapped the scheme:(

Well I think I got a pants GB and have now subscribed! I'm keeping JB and Amarya. I'm sure that SSB owe me a box as I used the Jubilee 6 month offer and I keep all my boxes and I only have 5! I'm not bothering t re-subscribe to Luxbox.

@rosemary54 - email them, I did the same as I have 1174 points and they told me they are sending me out a little something in january (it'll prob be that trio thing-but better than nothing?)

I received my December Joliebox. I'm on the fence about this, if it hadn't been at the end of a run of poor to average boxes I'd like it more, but now it just feels like they're losing momentum and the ability to get good samples.

I got
Full size Bellapierre eyeshadow in bubblegum (a sparkly pale pink). I might use this, but it wouldn't be my first choice of shade.
7ml Olay Regenerist - the same size sample you get if you send off to Olay, so not a big wow.
7ml Color Club nail varnish in Put a Pin it it. Pretty pinky gold colour
11ml I love lip gloss. In pink. MORE PINK!
75ml Natural Honey body lotion. A Spanish item that I haven't seen before. Doesn't smell too much of honey, seems to absorb quickly.
2 sachets of Doctor Duve hand and decollatage cream.
1.5 ml of Agua de Colonia Concentrada. I like a good fresh cologne, so I like this. But for me a cologne like this is a summer product, so it seems strange to include in a december box.
2 x Lindor sticks. Well they'll help me fight my way through this post-xmas party hangover.

There was also a fairly pointless gift envelope to allow you to buy a giftcode and give it to a friend. I'm not sure after the most recent boxes that any of my friends would be happy to receive this.

Ladies....

Just very nearly signed up for a Glossy box - but honestly, where will I get the best samples?

I would have said She Said Beauty 6 months ago but they went down hill until they discontinued their service.

Honestly, I think Glossybox have been consistently good value for money over the last few months but their one-off boxes are the best as they tend to be small products or very large samples so they have worked out at really good value. I have some reviews on youtube under the name of beautyboxreview if you can stand my annoying voice. They go through the boxes quite thoroughly.x

what do you mean by discontinued their service?I have had no emails from them about points which someone mentioned or service,do agree the last box was rubbish and only things I will use are 3 small sachets of stuff:mad:

Yes they have decided to focus now on "Being the number one UK social networking service for beauty" or some other claptrap. I understand several subscribers didn't receive an email - if you would like to PM me your email address, I could forward you on the email?
I had subscribed for my Mum for 6 months and she was told she'd get a refund but the points seem fairly useless - they just enable you to get a small gift or a preferential Joliebox subscription.

Hope that helps. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :-( xxx
