Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

choccomonster

the LoveMeBeauty boutique is open today for this month's box.

A big disappointment for me compared to last month's one which I thought was really good.

two of the "compulsory" products are eyeliner and mascara neither of which I wear. bit of a shame that they had two such products as compulsory ones as I think a lot of people don't wear eyeliner and mascara.

so I will end up giving those away, but will be left with some balm balm bath oil which I like, some aime moisturizer, and a shampoo sample. not sure that will be worth my 10 pounds!

yes, I looked at last year's calendar on-line, and I was thinking the same!!!

has anyone here tried the ciate nail polish? I got some last weekend in their flash sails and the glitter ones seem VERY difficult to apply and the polish I tried last week came off after 1 day! (admittedly I had gone swimming which perhaps didn't help)

Yes I regularly purchase from them, I love them, it's the the only polish I have found that is child proof lol - I do recommend a good top coat with it though

I re-read the card thingy the other night: it wasn't a very well designed promotion because it didn't make it very clear - only on the original "We're live" alert message I signed up for.

Hate to rain on your parade but my son is FIVE now - when he was a babby although he breastfed on-the-hour-every-hour; he wasn't really a mardy babby, but now.......grr!!!!

I have a few mascaras and eyeliners to use up in my stash, so glad I unsubbed last month, as there isn't a lot of choice with this months am pleased I did. However I've just purchased their Wowcher 1/2 price box for £5 plus p&p.

This will contain the following, and isn't a spoiler as clearly described on their site. It looks like the box I didn't get last month, and seems really great value, especially for 1/2 price:

THanks for that Mama-G - nice to hear that you've had good results with Ciate. Hopefully with the plain colours I might have better luck.

I must say Ciate have amazing colours and effects, so really hoping that the rest apply well!

Thanks MissLi for the pointer to the LoveMeBeauty / Wowcher thing - I have just bought 2 boxes! fab value.

btw, how did you come across the offer? I couldn't see it on the lovemebeauty site (and the link you had didn't seem to let me but it from Lovemebeauty). also couldn't find it o the Wowcher site, so ended up googling Wowcher and Lovemebeauty and I finally got there!!

slightly off topic for this thread I know but:

Benefit Advent calendar - Its not something that i'm going to go for, but if you are interested I think they go on sale on 5th Nov. I'm told that there will only be 500 of them (!) and will be on sale only in a very limited number of Benefit counters (e.g. Debenhams on Oxford Street)

Cult Beauty website - if you enter "goody" at checkout you get a free beauty goody bag if you spend 60 pounds. Their stuff is generally very high end, so only really worth it if you were going to but stuff anyway. I got some nail wraps (buy 2, get a third free), Dr Bonners liquid soap, Seche Vite. and some chemical-free type nail polish remover.

Hi there, I knew about the Cult Beauty goody bag but thought it starts tomorrow? When I try to enter the code it won't work....have you got it to work already? Not sure if I really NEED the goody bag though lol

choccomonster

I typed the code in and it seemed to work (at least I hope so) - the goody bag is showing up in my order receipt that was emailed to me. I only ordered it about 1 hour or so ago - not sure when you tried it?

yes I know totally what you mean about not really needing the goody bag (or the products I ordered!) - I had to really search on the site for things that I (sort of) needed!

Thanks choccomonster I got it work :j.......hmm although I'm not really sure if i should lol! By the way do you know exactly what's in it because no matter how hard I try to get a list of the products included I can't! God I've already placed a huge boots order and a one off glossy box :eek:....must stop,must stop,must stop
