Beauty Boxes (Monthly Subscription) Codes and Chat Thread 2

I think that tatler has a deal to advertise those specific products in the tatler box and they wouldn't send a different box to subscribers. But this is just my opinion and maybe I am totally wrong! Maybe they don't give a specific description in case too many people subscribe and they end up sending the boxes new customers will get this month. Unless we get all 3 of them since their RPR is £30, instead of the tatler box!

I hope that they're that generous if they run out of stock for the Tatler box!! I'm new to the forum and have been browsing alot of the posts and was surprised to read about people getting substituted gifts. I hope that doesn't happen as I wouldn't subscribe otherwise.

Very often it is written in the terms and conditions that the offer is valid till stock lasts or that they can substitute the gift... There is always the risk unfortunately... And especially in the case of the tatler subscription, they don't give a lot of information!

Yeah, I'm hovering over the 'order now' button for that very reason. I'm thinking that it might be better to pay a bit more and buy the products when I actually want them (hopefully on a deal!).

Word of warning if you're thinking of ordering the Beauteque Tony Moly bag - it contains a hair straightening kit that seems to have a LOT of warnings for use (to apply at your peril). A lot of folk have complained as its not even a choice item and people may think it's just shampoo and conditioner (given everything is written in korean).

My little box theme this month is dream box. Spoilers on Instagram if interested - though beauty products may be slightly different as thats thr french version

Nerd block has back to the 80s theme - ghostbusters and back to the future items included. Arcade Block will include a Kingdom Hearts item. Nerd Block Jnr girls has a Hello Kitty item and both will include a Sonic the Hedgehog item too.

Zbox from Zavvi to be dispatched at the end of the month - this month animation so really hoping for Disney / Pixar items if possible...

Currently waiting on my Kawaii Box for April to be delivered. looks "ok", but nothing special.

So here's what I got in my Birchbox this month (written in white text so that I don't spoil the surprise for those who don't want to know in advance - hight the blank area and you'll be able to read it):

# 30ml foundation primer from Laura Mercier
# 30ml smooth and volumising no oil hair oil by Percy & Reed London
# 8ml nail polish in Grazia (hot fuschia colour, exclusive to Birchbox) by Lola Barcelona
# 30ml cleanse and polish face cleanser by Liz Earle
# 1 pure muslin cloth by Liz Earle
# 7ml nature's remedy balm by Pommade Divine
# 28 tablets (2 week supply) of vitamins to boost skin quality for 30+ year olds by Imedeen

Everyone gets to choose which sample they get from Laura Mercier this month though there's no more primer so it's a choice between mascara and a deep purple eye liner. There's 2 other nail polish colours that you might get instead of what I got and some people got a hot mud face mask instead of the vitamins that I received. I also saw that a few people got a Korres body wash, perhaps instead of the remedy balm (not too sure).

Also impressed with the BirchBox this month. A couple of very good brands in there with great products. And a couple of poorer ones, sorry, but the nail polish is not that great quality!

For those that like Japanese kawaii type stuff, Jbox has a couple of grab bags (called fukubukuro as usually sold at New Year by store getting rid of old stock). There's two at $120 and one at $65 but this doesn't include shipping or the inevitable customs charge on arrival. From checking out youtube, seems to contain a fair amount of stuff though so if anyone's interested...

QBox has also limited quantities of My Neighbor Totora box for $39.99 plus shipping. Again there may be customs on arrival (shipped start of June). Has already been unboxed on Instagram and contains 8 items including a small rucksack, bracelet, coaster, earphones etc..they also have a "pink" box and another japanese figure that looks like a fried egg (YEP...my thoughts exactly on that one lol!) plus their monthly subscription box. All shipped from the states but products from Japan or Korea etc.

I actually found the nail polish to be good quality - easy to apply, dries quickly, only needs one coat... and I love the colour! I don't wear alot of nail polish as I'm terrible at applying it but this one just seemed to glide on and looks really nice.
