    So what did you all choose for your June YBD?
    I chose both lippies.
    I can't resist lip products and I've never tried this formula.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm fairly newish to beauty boxes, I used to get the Jolie box a while ago and have recently started getting the YBD box which I'm really enjoying at the moment.

    Just ordered my June YBD box. I went for Transformulas and HER, can't wait to try these products!

    Welcome Laura!

    They would have been my next choices if the lippies had sold out.

    There's a beauty box listed on the Grabbit board...

    I know nothing about them and I'm not going for it but thought I'd give the ladies here a heads up anyway...

    I've used All Boxed Up twice. Some of their offers are in conjunction with The Telegraph and I got a beauty box last year (around Christmas) and have just taken delivery of a home fragrance one featuring Rituals, so they are legit and ok to use in my experience. X

    I ordered the transformulas and the Cowshed body butter, and I forgot (no seriously I did!) to cancel the second one I'd set up in my husbands name to get 2 foot creams, so with that one I ordered the HER and another Cowshed BB.

    Was tempted with the hand cream, but you can buy them for about £1.99 I'm sure?

    I didn't think it was as good a box, but after abit of research into the products (some of them I'd never heard of) I've changed my mind.

    Has anyone tried their foot cream yet? It's actually a balm, and a little goes a long way and has really softened my feet. I thought it was expensive for what it was when I still thought it was a cream, but now I see it's a balm, I can see it lasting a long time and therefore being value for money. :)

    Yeah I think it's more a treatment than an everyday cream, I'll probably use it a couple of times a week and use a standard foot cream in between. Should last a while at that rate!

    I got the Transformulas and Cowshed too. The L'Oreal lip colours look great but I don't wear lip colours much and therefore already have a barely touched stash of lipsticks that I've acquired from beauty boxes and gift with purchases!

    LMB are revealing spoilers on their Facebook page. Looks like one brand is ************which doesn't really impress me as it's [/COLOR] a cheap brand! Hope it's not nail polish!

    I skipped last month.... If it is I can see me cancelling entirely.

    I think I read somewhere to use it everyday for about 2 weeks and then every now and again? I haven't tried the Elemis foot cream (that came in the BBB box) yet, it's smells really nice!

    I'm sure I've tried those loreal ones before, or at least something similar? They never last that long, well not on me anyhow, and I usually don't like the texture/feeling on my lips. I wear lipsticks now and again, but hate lip glosses etc.
