Birchbox April 2013

Gerda spillman - renaissance age serum. Small tube, enough to let me know if it brings me out in spots.
La Societer Parisienne de Savons Cold Cream soap - small bar of soap, slightly larger than the ones you get in hotels. Will be ok to travel with.
Mernesse Glossy Kiss in shade Perfect Kiss (full size). Similar to a chubby stick mine is a reddy colour with a golden shimmer. Once the shimmer wore off it was much more wearable as I don't think gold sparkles are very me.
Weleda Skin Food - small tube, probably enough to moisturise one knee
Natio gentle foaming cleanser - probably enough to test for a week.
Lifestyle extra - mirror

A very average box this time - I think if I'd loved the colour of the lip thing I'd be a bit more enthusiastic.

I decided to treat myself to Glossybox last month, and the March box was dispatched. Hermes tried to deliver it when my OH was in the house, they didn't knock and just put a card though the door so he missed it. There were no details on the card about rearranging delivery or choosing a time, they then tried a further twice (at least once I'm sure my OH was in!) and the third card said that was the final delivery. If I'd been able to contact them I could have left arrangements about where to put it/or a suitable time for re-delivery.

I contacted Glossybox who said I could change my address to my work and have the box re sent as they were waiting on it being returned to them by Hermes. That was two weeks ago and they are still waiting on it arriving back. I then was charged for my April box which they say should be arriving soon. Looks like the April one will arrive first, but I'm not happy with paying for two boxes so far and very poor delivery service. Not the best introduction to my first ever beauty box!

Sorry no point to that post - I am just having a rant!

I liked mine, was the same as yours except I got

Natio Renew radiance foam cleanser instead. I liked the shimmery glossy kiss (same shade as yours!) so was worth it for me, love the smell of the soap, and use serums daily.

Did anyone get the SoukSouk beauty box this month? If so what are the sizes of the included products?

Since Amarya has gradually gone downhill I've not bothered renewing my subscription, and am now itching to try out another (natural) beauty box!

Got my Glossybox today!
Spoiler in white.
It's a limited edition spring fever and the box is so nice!
Here's what I got:
A-derma Intense repair Lip Balm- Full size
Yves Rocher France So elixir purple yves rocher eau de parfum- 5 ml. I'm normally really fussy with perfumes and it's actually quite nice.
Nip+Fab dry skin fix body butter in mango-50ml. It smells lush!
Sleek makeup blush in Flamingo- Full size. A bit bright for my liking, but never tried sleek make up so I'll give it a try.
Essie nail laquer in flawless- full size. Definitely my favorite thing in the box!
I'm really happy with the box this month and will use everything I got. The perfume isn't a normal perfume sample size either (it's bigger) and with 3 full size products, i'm really happy

I got my glossybox! I liked it! Spoiler in white:

- Sunsense Daily Face SPF 50, 10g (£2.50), very happy to receive this, it's oil free, odourless and is absorbed very quickly.
- So Elixier Purple Yves Rocher EDP, 5 ml (£4.4), slightly heavy smell for me, but lovely bottle and a more generous sample than other perfume samples.
- Dry Skin Fix Body butter in Coconut Latte, 50 ml (£2.50), I don't really have dry skin and the smell is too strong (I would like to eat it instead of use it!) but it's a nice body butter, absorbed quickly.
- Essie Nail Lacquer Sugar Daddy, full size 13.5 ml (£7.99), happy to try the product but the colour is not really opaque.
- Modelco Cheek + Lip tint in rosy red, 10 ml full size (£15), I tried it once and I don't think I 'll use it again. The colour is not opaque, ending up with two different colours on my upper and lower lip. Too bright for me to use it on my cheeks.

Overall the value of the box is £32.40, not bad, although the most valuable item, the cheek and lip tint is the worst in my opinion. I am happy with this box, I am going to use everything but the cheek and lip tint.

Thanks for mentioning that! I always forget to go on that site and miss out on these boxes.

Does anyone get the Lux Box? Have they sent one out for this month yet? It seems ages since the last one.

No and they don't communicate when they are dispatching. I have posted on their facebook page last night asking if April's box has been dispatched. Obviously they will remove this comment. Last month I messaged them and got no reply. There lack of communication is really starting to annoy me, I think its time to quit which is a shame as I do like their boxes but it seems so badly run.
