Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

I am over the moon with my Lux Box. Everything in it is of good quality, and high value. Lovely things, the only thing is they sent me 2 which I have informed them about:

The first item is Sheer Cover Base Primer 36.9ml (RRP £21.95) I'm not sure if this is full-sized, but it is a very generous one, if not. This has all sorts of skin nourishing stuff in

Sheer Cover Smokey Eye Shadow Palette (RRP £20.95) - This is full-sized, and comes in a mirrored compact. All the colours are great, as was going to buy something similar, so chuffed.

Green People Fruit Scrub 25ml (RRP 50ml for £11.95) - A luxury sized sample of a very useful product

Mashooq's Deep Penetrating Oil 25ml (RRP 100ml for 7.99) - This looks very promising, as my hair is very dry, and damaged

Ancienne Ambiance Luxury Goddess Gift Soap, Jasmine (RRP £14, for a gift set of 3) - This smells gorgeous, I can't wait to try it.

This really is fantastic value for money, and a great range of products that I'll use. Very, very happy!

It's not too late, they're doing another run of the christmas box. The only thing is, you'll receive it in the new year.

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

New Years Resolution - I'll be swapping beauty boxes for an organic veg box:D But I can't give up the beauty boxes immediately because I have almost enough glossydots for 3 free boxes!! How did I miss that?! (You have to have a current sub with GB to use your free ones.)

Happy New Year!:)

I used to have an organic veg box delivered. I used to love receiving one, as made me eat loads of fresh veg, and beans. I made it a personal challenge to use up everything in it each week, even the more exotic ingredients. I ended up making a lot of nutritious soups.

Let us know how you get on! I gave mine up because of the ongoing cost, but they aren't bad when compared with my current weekly shop. I'm thinking about getting one again now.

I got my first one today! I have a free delivery pass and a savings pass with Ocado, and Edwardia in the shopping forum told me that Ocado have organic veg boxes.

I got 11 different types of organic veg for £16.20 once the savings pass discount was taken off, and I'm really impressed with it. Everything looks very fresh. Some of it, the root veg, is muddy and needs cleaning, and some things are oddly shaped, but I'm happy with it!

I'm looking at going with Riverford once my Ocado passes expire in March, because they do organic fruit boxes too and their prices look a bit better than Abel & Cole (although Abel & Cole allow you to put a block on things you don't like, like swedes or peaches or whatever so you know you'll use everything you get), but for now Ocado will do nicely.

Happy New Year Missli - and everyone else!

Happy New Year to everyone too. :beer:

I can't remember who I used to get mine delivered from as was a good few years ago (it was an independant small retailer), so it's nice to get recommendations. There are so many too choose from!

I would like to try a medium/large veg box, plus a medium fruit box, as would use those as the basis for my weeks meals.

I'm not sure if anyone can help but this is in regard to the October Glossybox, it contained a product called Skinetica which I really liked but have only started using these last few days. I went on the website to order only to find that glossybox subscribers are able to get a 20% discount until the 31st December and to follow the link they were mailed with their box, I hadn't received an email which has made me realise I haven't been receiving their newsletters, I still have the card that came with the box but have realised there is no link there instead under the skinetica part instead there is a duplicated link to the anatomicals site.
Does anyone have the link?

I'm emailed both glossybox and skinetica but with it being new years eve tomorrow I'm not holding out for a response.
