Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

I've got my stash in a hat box which used to contain 'Lush' goodies, plus I have an overspill drawer. It's actually gone down a fair bit, as love using the products, but got given some more goodies at christmas to make up for it.

I'm slowly getting through my cleansers; I alternate between 2 (make-up removers) at night, and 3 different day ones (face washes), depending on how I feel. The rest are either stashed or used when travelling. They come in handy when travelling.

I only give away stuff I'll never use such as tanning products, or duplicate items. I'm hoping for more make-up, and bath products in upcoming boxes.

I received my Amarya box today. Very useful contents:

REN Morrocan Rose Otto Bath Oil (10ml) - I've already bought some, and love it.
Oxygen Purifying Honey Mask sample- I have a lot of exfoliating masks, but nothing calming or balancing. I adore honey products as seem to work well, so am looking forward to trying.
Gielly Green Luxury Shampoo (50ml)
Gielly Green Classic Conditioner (50ml)
Gielly Green Hand & Body wash (50ml)

I love natural hair products. I used to use Aussie range, but find commercial shampoos strip my hair. The hand & body wash smells wonderful, and contains lots of natural oils. Their 50ml deluxe samples retail for £5 each.

I'm happy, as will use everything.

Regarding the Amarya box

Although I'm am really impressed by the contents this month (seems they have taken on board some of the negative FB feedback) has anyone else received an Oxygen Honey Mask that looks as if it has been chewed by a dog? The label is all stained and rubbed off in places - can't work out if some of the product leaked but it's dry, not sticky. If nobody else's is like that, I'll ask for a replacement

can't wait to get my amarya box next month (was too late to sign up for this one). Re: face mask, I saw a pic of someone else's on a blog and it looked fine, I'd pop them an email and let them know, they should send you out a new one.

Mine was fine pb, so would do as judy suggested. Looking forward to trying it!

Amarya replaced my perfume vial from the last box, which had leaked without any problem. However, I have found them a bit hit and miss as to how quickly they get back to you.

This will be my last box with Amarya, and to be honest, I wouldn't have been hugely disappointed if I'd missed it. I'm putting the £10 I would have spent away for something I really want. Still debating on which out of JB and GB to dump, if not both. I'm keeping my notanotherbill sub, so I'll definitely be losing one of them.

Still waiting on my Amarya box but looking forward to it! I am sooo hoping they do a neom candle again for the feb box!

Oh are they still doing the 20% off brands in the box with the code in the box as I want to get a few bits but didnt know whether to go for the sale with 15% off and free samples or the 20% off if they still have it running? x

When I learnt that SSB were discontinuing their boxes I got in touch and asked if they could send me another Dec box as I believed I had sufficient points for a free box.

They replied saying I'd already had my free box and therefore did not have enough points to get another. They hadn't removed the 1,000 points from my account so the balance looked higher than it was.

They confirmed that as I signed up to their 6 month jubilee offer in June and the 1st box issued was that month's, my subscription ran up until November. I then received one free box taking me to December. I accepted their explanation.

So why, yesterday, did I receive a cheque for £6.55, as refund for 1 month's missed subscription and then why today have I received a complimentary box containing the following:

2 sachets of Redken smooth lock shampoo and 2 of conditioner
2 packs of Murrays matchstick nail files
a 50ml Ponds cocoa butter
a 18ml collection 2000 primer
a 18ml collection 2000 fixer
a 3ml b-liv off with those heads
a 30ml redken colour extend radiant 10 spray
and a book of powdered papers

not that I am complaining mind you and its a lovely surprise but to say I'm mystified is an understatement. Did anyone else get this?

Yes, they are still doing the 20% off featured brands in the box.

I'm loving the

honey mask. It's quick, and easy to apply, and my skin is less dry. I'm keeping the rest, except the bath oil for travelling.

Hi I have just heard about these boxes and am very interested in them, this thread is so huge though I am still trawling through it but wanted some advice from ladies still receiving them.

I am really interested in the make up, skin care and hair care products, not so fussed on natural products but my face is very combination, dry and flaky in parts but prone to hormonal breakouts and oily patches.

So, which would you recommend for me and is there any codes floating about currently? I have never used a service like this before so keen to follow your suggestions

Thanks in advance, Rhiannon x
