    Yeh from what I saw on FB I definitely got the better batch! I got the better batch last time as well so maybe I'm on their good list lol!

    I really liked last months and I do like this months just not quite as much. I think I'll give them one more month and swap again!

    On a completely unrelated note, I reaaaally need to start wearing eyelashes everyday as I have enough to tranny up a rugby team!

    I think the problem with swapping box brands is that a lot of the samples do the rounds across boxes so you can end up with repeats. You also end up having box regret - I think I would have really liked this months Jolie box

    Got my Glossybox. Mmmm. I like everything but it's all pretty small. I'm not sure what to do now as it isn't terrible, it's just not amazeballs.

    Exactly how I feel too

    QUOTE=spugzbunny;53312805 = I'm gonna go crazy and spoiler in white text as I thought we had agreed there would be spoilers on here. If you want to see highlight over below:

    So.... I got:
    Noble Isle 75ml Summer Rising SHower Gel £6 value
    Eldora lashes B168 (love these!!) £4?
    Argan Oil 10ml £1.99
    2 x aptivita face mask £3.50
    2 x Lolita perfume samples


    What did everyone else get?

    Luckily I previewed that post when doing it as once you press quote you can almost see the text.

    What a clever way of doing this, here's mine, done the same way,

    So.... I got:
    Noble Isle 75ml Summer Rising Shower Gel - £6
    2 x Lolita perfume samples
    HD Brows - brow beater - £3.90
    Weleda face wild rose "night" cream 5ml - £2.50 value
    Collection 2000 - lasting colour gel eyeliner in Teal - £4.99

    plus the glossybox mirror - tacky tacky and scratched
    and a happy birthday balloon.

    Reason the "night" is written like this is the product is all in French so I had to guess that it's night cream. What's with using rose for all these moisturisers recently?

    So as I've said, not a bad box but not a great one either. Value is in excess of £20 but nothing in there I would have bought for myself. I do like the smell of the perfumes though.

    Me too :j



    Not only had the email, had the box now - I won't spoil the surprise though.

    Too late, have looked. Couldn't resist. :D

    Some of the things sound ok, but think will have to wait and see what I get, as they all sound different.
    New forum. New sig. Yes I still need to lose 2 stone! :smiley:

    Oh I hope I dont get the lashes as I'll never use them!

    Whats the golden ticket thing?

    Do you always get a dispatch email before your box is sent? The post is so slow in Sheffield but I'm hoping I get mine soon!

    That's how I felt too but as I ordered 2 boxes and so far have only had 1, may just get them after all. Don't get the point of them, would much rather have a mascara instead.

    Don't know what the ticket is, intrigued :exclamati

    Only got a dispatch email for 1 box and haven't always had them Sometimes my box turns up before I get the dispatch email, if I get it at all.

    Hope you like your box when you get it.
