My SSB box came this morning and unlike Rosemary, I love it!!

I got (in white)

Miners Cosmetics - Bronzer and blush blend. Oddly I was looking at buying a bronzer yesterday so this came just in time!! Full size priced at £4.99

The Vintage Cosmetics Company - Eyelash Curler (no lashes, yay!) Full sized priced at £7.99

Murad - Time release Blemish cleanser. You can never have too much clenser imho. Perfect travel size too 30ml at £5.50

Stylefile - S-file I really wanted to try this so super happy with this item! Full sized at £4.49

And finally Freeze 24.7 - Ice crystals anti aging prep & polish. Sachet 1.2ml about £1.20's worth if I've got my maths right (£35.00 for 70ml)

I'm very very happy with this box indeed! :T

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.

I'm on a three month sub with Lux and I've not had my box yet, or a dispatch email... I tried calling them this morning but it went to voicemail *rolleyes*

I wonder if they're deleting their negative comments from facebook? It's a wonder that Joliebox has had hundreds of bad comments yet Lux don't seemt to have any?

Valiantly trying not to look at the spoilers......................................:p

Can't believe JB! If i didn't have FB how would I know lol? As I for one haven't had any emails regarding the delayed delivery.

Rose80 has gone quiet.....in a nice way I really hope she is pushing right now and not twiddling her thumbs! :beer:

When I looked at FB for Lux last week, there were no comments at all, and scant information, which has now been rectified. I do think some censorship of posts was done.

My SSB box arrived at 7.30am on my day off (everytime!!) but it's ok I love it!! No eyelashes in sight - woooooop!!!! I have the same box as fairydust!

I am happy to try the Miners Bronzer sure it's not the most highend of brands but one I'd totally forgotten about and I've used cheap bronzers in the past and been happy. Also it is full size which is nice.

Very happy to try the eyelash curlers as not something I usually use but had been meaning to try.

I'm collecting Murad cleansers in beauty boxes but sure beats eyelashes! No very handy to have and I look forward to trying them as I keep hearing great things about this brand.

S-file again useful product that I'm looking forward to trying though it's unlikely i would have purchased this myself.

Freeze 24/7 yes sample size is rubbish but given the rest of the box is full size products I have no problem with this and I look forward to trying this as well.

As with the bonus item I was surprised to see this as I was recently shopping with my mum in Debenhams (she was buying perfume) and she was given one _ I asked if I could have one too but denied as apparently you can't get one without a purchase. Given I mainly shop online this annoyed me so yay now I have one and can benefit from free p&p on their website!

Sorry that was quite long and rambly but I loved the box. I hope JB makes me as happy when it finally arrives! :T

So there's a good box and a bad box, just like Glossybox? I thought SSB gave out the same stuff?:(

Mine hasn't come yet and I'm not looking at spoilers! Though I have two coming, my 3 month sub, and then the 6 month sub which was such good value I couldn't resist. Fingers crossed I get one of each!

Got my SSB box today. Overall it's alright, if it wasn't for the Groupon deal I purchased, I would have been rather disappointed with the contents.

Freeze 247 IceCrystals Anti-Aging Prep & Polish
Tiny tiny sachet, not really enough form an opinion on it.

Miners Cosmetics Bronzer and Blusher Blend
Not more bronzing/tanning products... plus it contains parabens so I won't be using this.

Stylefile S-file
Seems convenient. One can never have too many nail files

Vintage Cosmetics Company Eyelash Curler
Came just in time; my old Shu Uemura curler needs to be replaced, so this will do until I get the chance to buy one.

Murad Time Release Blemish Cleanser
Doesn't contain parabens, yay! But I have too many decent cleansers on rotation that this probably won't be touched for a while.

On a separate note, I'm very much looking forward to my first Amarya box; if it turns out to be good I may consider joining for a year. In the beauty boxes I've received so far, there was at least one product in each box containing parabens, which won't be the case with Amarya so no products will go to waste :T
