Quick question to those in the know - have just resubscribed to Glossybox after a couple of months of due to moving etc. It says I'll be sent the June box - anyone know if this will be correct or not?

I'm not an expert but if they state the June box, that is what you should get still. Might be worth emailing them, or ringing customer service to check.

I may do that. It seems unlikely as people have obviously received their June boxes already but that would be a lovely surprise next week instead of waiting a month!

Well my Glossybox didn't arrive and wasn't even showing on my account despite it being "active" so I rung GB and they apologised and said they would send one out straight away which arrived this morning (so a big well done to GB!) I'd read all the blogs and reviews and had mixed feelings about the boxes but this is what I got in mine:

The Glossybox brush
Yves Rocher Mascara
BM Beauty Bronzer
Dermalogica Clean Start Kit
Vichy Dermablend Sample Kit

Overall what I recevied was pretty good value though I doubt very much the brush is worth £15!!!

I'm not sure whether the Dermalogica is really suitable for my dry skin but would make a nice gift.

I've just received my Betrousse box. I'm really happy with it. 5 full sized products delivered for £19, a bargain. I liked every single product. Betrousse have added another different discounted beauty box, but was not so much too my liking as this one.

I got the kit mentioned on this page. This is a marketed look before you buy box, so not a spoiler as such, just warning you:

In white: Out of the variations mentioned, I got the bath salts (which I wanted), a good thing as my skin is very dry. I loved the soap (I got the Lavender and Olive oil variety), hair mascara (not gloopy like using my dried out mascaras), and hair mist (great for styling loose waves, and curls). These are all good products for me so worth the box. To receive the gorgeous, but expensive face oil (14ml, £31), just made this an excellent buy for me, although haven't yet tried.

Just got the meail re: this week's You Box. I'm going to post a pic because you'll see the same photo anyway if you decide to go to the site to buy it!

I haven't had one of these boxes before - do you get everything shown in the pic or just a few items from the selection?

Definitely fancy giving this box a go, looks good

I'm pretty certain you get the lot with the LIB boxes (they always look very good value), though do note that (JB spolier in white)... It contains the l'occitane cream from the birthday box.

I've been using the Balance Me hand cream the last few days and absolutely love it, is the rest of the range as good does anyone know?

sometimes you will get everything but sometimes there is an either or product too. This will be easy to see when the link goes active on Sunday. Looks like a good box, I love skincare.

I almost wish I hadn't cancelled my GB subsription for the HD brows tweezers, but then again I might not have got them, so wouldn't have been worth the risk. There is a very well-known brand that I've been looking at instead Tweezerman, but they are so expensive!

Missli, the second brand that you mentioned ;-) are well worth investing in. What I would suggest is finding a generous friend who works in industry and has a beauty supplies trade card and getting them to get them for you at trade price and paying them back.

I have a trade card because I'm a trained manicurist and it saves me so much money with Argan Oil and tools / accessories :-) x
