A couple of questions though - firstly, any codes flying about for JolieBox? I'm gonna succumb and get this french birthday box (hopefully it's more 'wow' than GB) but only on a month by month sub

Secondly, I signed up for a 3 month sub for she said - this box that's on it's way will be my second (so I'm guessing I paid for may, june and july?) can I use the 60% off code for a 6 month sub or will I get 1 or 2 double boxes (which will kinda defeat the object of saving anything!)

Don't think there's any codes for Joliebox I'm afraid, there were a few single use ones about a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to be a company that doesn't really do special offers / discounts much.

I think it's likely you would end up getting SSB duplicates I'm afraid. So it's just about deciding if you don't mind getting 2 June & July boxes. With the deal being so good it may still be worth it if you thought it was likely to be stuff you'd either use yourself or perhaps give as gifts.

Does anyone have a referral for Amarya? I am thinking of signing up and (if I am reading this correctly) if I use a referral link we both get £10.
.

If you still wanted to be referred I would be happy to do so, the vouchers may last a while and you might want to use it eventually. To be referred it's not a special link, you just need to send them an email within 7 days of joining. PM me if you want to do this, if not, no worries.

Would new subscribers (1st June ) be getting the June box, or getting something different in July?

I'm thinking if we subscribe on the 1st we probably will get the box that's out now, I think they usually keep sending it out until it's sold out later in the month. It's different for the likes of the wowcher deal as you have a few weeks to redeem but with the jubilee one I think it'll go through right away.

Just checked my LuxBox account & didn't realise that it wasn't a rolling subscription :@. So I won't be getting one after all. Never mind £40 + postage is quite enough to spend anyway.

Going to cancel SSB & re-subscribe with the code for 6 months.
Amitee is gonna be late this month according to their last email but I do love their boxes so far

Amarya is a keeper & I'm going to see about JB. If their birthday box is as pants as G , then I'll cancel that as well

Just seen the latest in beauty’s new box is now available, and just ordered one.

I’ve only just discovered these boxes and think there a fab idea. I tried Glossy box as my first box and was really disappointed as I think I ended up with the worst box out of the lot. I wouldn’t have minded so much if everyone had something similar but when some boxes are loads better than others I thought it was a little unfair, so have ordered the Jolie birthday box hoping that will be better as I have now canceled with glossy box

I decided against the new LIB as already got some of the stuff and not used!Was very disapointed with my SSB and have emailed them as the peek makes it look like you get all the items when in fact you get a selection:(I realised there would (thankfully) be only 1 pair of lashes but I was expecting all the other items and not too keen on the ones I got:( do we think the boxes are getting poorer value????with stuff they want to get rid of!

I just orded the new LIB. I have been wanting to try out the Percy & Reed dry shampoo for sometime now. Also I love Elemis and I could do with a self tan mitt. lol.

I've ordered mine too, I really must seek help for my BB addiction :rotfl:

The Elemis is great, had it in a previous box and considered buying. Now I won't have to.

Quite happy with my SSB this month, apart from the lashes - groan really pleased with self too as didn't sneak a peek. Gave in and ordered a Lux Box last night so the only one I'm not having this month is Amarya - oh dear, definitely need to seek that addiction assistance

Elise, I have one code left for a £5 Joliebox (plus p&p). Let me know if you'd like it. If you do, I'll send it to you via PM as it's a one use only code.

Ok so bad news is SSB seem to be going more and more towards the different things in each box a la GB route. That said I still prefer the SSB this month. Here's what I got (in white just in case we haven't all received!):

Yardley - Royal Diamond 1ml perfume sample - £0.20
Balance Me - Super Moisturising Hand Cream 30ml -£6
Elemis - Bath Elixir 50ml - £3.17
St Tropez - Everyday Body Moisturiser Medium Dark 75ml - £5.36
Lets Go - Tease Lashes -£8.95
Bonus Sample of Ginvera Green Tea BB Cream 3g - £2.40

Total value - £26.08

I personally hate lashes andthese cheapie perfume samples. Especially since both lashes and perfume were in the last SSB though at least the perfume was a deluxe item even if not to my taste.

That said total value about a tenner more than my GB still like the idea of the bonus sample though I had kind of expected the perfume to be a bonus! I'm very excited to try the St Tropez though worry it might be a bit dark for my fair skin (think milk bottle!!). Hand cream will slip nicely into my hand bag and I'm looking forward to a few nice baths with the bath elixir.

What did everyone else get and think of SSB June box? Although satisfied not thrilled that I will be getting a second box when I sign up to the Jubilee six month offer tomorrow!! Still worth it cost wise!!

Finally has anyone received Luxbox yet? I'm still waiting!!!

I think it should be...have you checked your bank a/c? Payment comes out for Lux at the very start of the month but delivery isn't till the very end or in this case it would seem the beginning of the next as I'm still waiting to receive May's box!
