I know what you mean about GB. Sometimes they're really good, and other times it's just like they've grabbed what's left and chucked it in a box! Bit like mine which arrived this morning....I wasn't too impressed either.

I got: Bellapiere mineral lipstick in Cat Walk. Not a bad colour, but I would have prefered a stronger colour.

Absolute New York perfecting eyeshadow primer....not too sure if I'll use this?

Carmex lip balm. A carmex lip balm?! I could have went down to a superdrug and Boots and got one myself! I wouldn't say it's a celebrated American product anymore.

Color Club nail polish in Glossy Seal. Very very similar colour to the a Essie nail polishes I got in the LIB boxes.

Mary Kay mascara. I very rarely wear mascara, so probably won't be using this either

I haven't seen other boxes yet, although it did see mention of a full size serum? To me, it really is a big flop. When you think of how good they could have made it. Filling it with brands that perhaps we'd never heard of before, to give us a taste of all the cool American brands out there.

Mine is the virtually the same , plus it is full of red dust from the filling

I have enough Glossydots for a free one so might use them on the next one and if no good cancel

What did you get in your GB?

I'm glad I cancelled my BB. This months and last months were nothing spectacular.

I know not a beautybox but i finally gave in and ordered a NerdBlock from the USA (approx £18 inc shipping) my husband and son will be fighting over the contents
