Beauty Boxes (monthly subscription) DISCUSS HERE

Is anyone rose still waiting for their Birchbox? If this months is crap, or Glossybox is, then I'm going to cancel one of them and sign back up to Lovelula I think.

Hi was looking into getting one of these .. Which one is the best value for money? Thanks

This is probably the best value box:
https://www.youbeautydiscovery.co.uk/

It.s 6.95, which includes postage. You get to choose two products from a selection, some of which are full-sized,and you get another couple or little extras, usually a little foodie treat and a sachet of something.

I wouldn't recommend Glossybox. It used to be good, but there was often a huge disparity between boxes, with some people getting expensive products and others getting cheapy stuff, but the quality overall started to drop off and the luxury items started disappearing.

I prefer Birchbox - sometimes the samples are a bit on the small side, but they get better brands. The points system is good as well, you can save them up to spend in the shop, as opposed to using them for a free box.

Once you reach 100 points you can spend them - and they build quickly. You review the products in your box and earn 5 points per item and you also earn points for every pound you spend, which includes the cost of your box. So this month I had six items, plus you review the box as a whole, and then 12 points for the cost of the box (it includes the postage as well). So 47 points earned straight away.

I know people rate Love Me Beauty - it looks pretty good, and it often features full sizes, but I can't justify another box. I also get notanotherbill, which isn't beauty related.

Got my Glossybox and Birchbox today....both are pathetic.

Will be cancelling the Birchbox, and will get GB next month because I have Glossydots, but after that, I'll probably cancel that too. They're just getting worse IMO.

I decided to get a Birchbox for this month. I have 97 points in my account and I wanted/needed to get some more points to take me over the 100 points mark. I really hope this month's box isn't rubbish.

I ordered another YBD as I wanted to try the ClaySpray. I ordered it on 1st April, got a dispatch email on 8th April but I am still waiting for the box. Is anyone else still waiting for their box?

Disgusted with this months GB, so much so I've cancelled it!

I've put my rant in white so anyone that hasn't had it yet doesn't have to read it

First they put in a lip brush, it looks the same as every other lip brush for sale but they are claiming it's worth £17, either way i didn't need it

Then they put in a bath and body oil, i can't use oils and hate the smell of ginger but they weren't to know this, just not for me

a pearl pink nail varnish, as though i need any more varnishes, every box I've had this month has one in

tresemme dry shampoo, not something i use or plan to start using

and last a face and body tanning gel, when i filled in my profile i stated that i had very fair skin and was not interested in tanning, bath products or accessories yet they seem to of ignored me.

I can understand one or two products to make up the numbers in the box but i won't use anything in the box and i only used 2 of last months products so i'm cancelling, i'm not sure if i lose my glossy dots but i only have 250 anyway.

Yes I'm still waiting.
Contacted them and was told it would arrive today.

Could someone tell me if it comes via Royal Mail postie or another delivery company please?

Postie already been so I'm hoping the latter.

Thank you.

I emailed them earlier and they replied an hour or so and advised that it would be here any day now.

The boxes are normally delivered via Yodel. I think they deliver between the hours of 9am - 6pm AFAIK.

Thanks Ladies,
At least if a few of us are still waiting it means they are less likely to have been lost.
I contacted them on Friday and was told it would arrive today.
Have emailed them to say it didn't arrive.

Agree GB was absolutely rubbish. Luckily today was my last one and I don't think I will be resubscribing although I have quite a few Glossydots to use so will hopefully get a free box or 2.

I was going to go back to birchbox but it sounds like I should give that a miss too! Still get youbeauty but would like another one too.
