    Amarya aren't despatching until next Monday now. JolieBox has basically said we won't get it until next week after a c0€k up with labelling and UK Mail. Last FB update from Luxbox was on Friday 21/06 and said despatch was last week :(

    SheSaid has apparently despatched today and so has my beautylishious bag

    Think I am gong to have another cull - I'm not going to bother with the beautylishous bag again as one of her products next month is a bodyshop showergel - I can pick them up for £2.00 in the sale.

    Also haven't heard from Amitee/Pamper Secrets yet:(

    Thank you! I'm glad that someone is better at keeping track of them all than I am :rotfl:

    Amarya aren't despatching until next Monday now.

    Next Monday is the 9th and I thought they always sent them out on the 9th but according to FB they normally post on the 7th. Just shows how much notice I take really! :o

    Amarya is the only box I look forward to getting, hopefully I'll get the inevitable disappointments of SSB, Lux and JB out of the way this week so that I can enjoy my Amarya box the week after

    My Joliebox arrived yesterday - it was ok, but after all the spoilers I'd seen and the long wait it just feels a bit of a let down. The shame of it is, all of these companies seem to understand beauty, but not many of them seem to understand the dull stuff that makes up a business (customer service, logistics etc)

    As SSB is on its way, I am not going to peek. I hold no hope whatsoever for Lux, as they have not taken payment still. Amarya is probably not dispatching on the 7th, as its a Saturday, so is why they have put the 9th. Thats fine, its the one consistently good box for me, as love natural products.

    Its good to see a couple of people have got boxes. :)

    SSB arrived BUT am not pleased with it:mad:
    1 item was acne cream:mad::mad::mad::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:as a 50 something why would I want that?plus it was a full size tube.there were 2 samples that must have cost pennies and whole box only worth about £15 .....ok i only paid £16.20 for 3 plus postage so not too bad but DH who was with me when i openned the box thought it was a rip off how they show photos of tubes and only give sachets.
    there was only one item I was pleased with style file.and the rest will give away:(:(:(they also included a debs beauty card which i guess most people will have anyway so that seemed a waste of time.this is about the worst SSB I have had and other people who reviewed on the site seem unhappy with the tiny sample sizes too

    I really want to peek at what you've whited out, but hopefully my postie might turn up with something for me now. I took advantage of the 60% off a 6 month subscription offer, so mine works out at approx £6.33 a box, so will hopefully be worth that.

    The show pictures of sachets in the beauty box photo at the top of the page. The other photos are so that we can see what the full size version looks like, should we wish to purchase them.

    What else did you get in your box, I'm looking forward to mine. although I will have to say something about the Miners products as that is 100% NOT a premium brand.
    I'll be ecstatic if I get the Style File though
