    A good set, but a shame this company has hiked it prices so much of late. Worth it if you like most of the items.

    4,500 boxes sounds like alot to go round but reckon these will sell out quick!! x

    \I always find latest in beauty's boxes to be excellent value, and they make fab gifts.
    The nail varnish alone in this box is worth more than their asking price.
    Have already ordered mine.

  • What about the size the items - seem more like GWP not full sized items

    I think that is the idea. If you read below, OP states that the company let you try sample sizes before buying the full-size products. Based on the names in the list, it will still have been costed on the sample size ml, when they say its £50-worth!!

    As Parsnip states above, the Nails Inc polish is worth £11 on its own (this is a full-size at 10ml) so everything else is a bonus!!

    I think their anti-ageing box from last month looked better value, but I'm a sucker for beauty boxes so ordered mine!

    I was about to buy another copy of Red magazine for £3.50 just to get that Liz Earle sample so I'm pleased I waited!

    Got mine today, some lovely stuff, a bit disappointed I didn't get the Porefessional but can't complain otherwise! Thanks OP.
