Beauty Boxes (Monthly Subscription) Codes and Chat Thread 2

wow! £140! Maybe the items are worth double this amount... and then this box would be a bargain, but for someone else, not for me!
I can't wait to see what's inside the cohorted box this month! Even though I didn't manage to grab it...

Apparently the contents are 'worth' £100 more than the price, so you're paying £140 for £240 worth. I shan't be buying it, though.

She said on her blog that she and Cult Beauty felt that there are already enough boxes with sample and travel size products, so they decided to do full size products.

But for me the whole thing of boxes is to be able to try out products you're unfamiliar with in a small size. I certainly wouldn't fork out £140 unless I was pretty confident that I loved all the products.

You'd only have to have one or two products that didn't suit your skin or you didn't like before it became a VERY expensive mistake. I get the impression that Ms Hirons is, shall we say, not short of a bob or two, and I think a lot of her readers seem to spend a fortune on skincare from reading the comments on her blog, so maybe it's aimed at a different demographic from those of us who use MSE!!

I found the contents of the cohorted box online! I am so jealous... There are some products there that I would love to try but I wouldn't allow myself to buy full price at the moment. I got the june and july box and now I can't wait to see what I will get! I hope these boxes are as good as the May one... Contents hidden below:
Cargo Cosmetics Vintage Escape Eyeshadow Palette – Full size worth £35.00
Michael Kors Lip Lacquer in Dame – Full size worth £23.50
Dolce & Gabbana Lace Nail Lacquer in Perfection 220 – Full size worth £19.00
Too Faced Eyeshadow in Enchanted Garden – Full sized worth £15.00

Thank you for posting this one.

Another one that only managed to order the June and July box. Not too bothered I missed the May box now. Wonder when they'll do the madness that is the Aug, SEPT and Oct boxes! (though might give those a miss as want to rein in the spending somewhat). Will continue to get My Little Box as that's my favourite box and perhaps You Beauty Discover but that'll be about it on the beauty front as got far too many products as it is and need to start using some of them up soon.

Another new box out today from A Beautiful World website. Costs £20 plus £3.95 for postage. Think it might be a quarterly or bi-annual box so will see what that contains.

Should also get my Fortune Cookie Soap box from the US either today or tomorrow. This is a quarterly box and costs $34 but does include a $10 voucher code that can be used to purchase anything in the store (though shipping is expensive). This box is Neverland (with PETER Pan and Tinkerbell inspired products).

Wow - that's quick. Just had shipping confirmation for the A Beautiful World box that was ordered this morning! Has tracking number so should arrive before the end of the week. Hoping the contents are just as good!

Let us know what is in the box! I don't know any of the brands in the description of the box!

Can anyone confirm whether they have got either their pink parcel or YBD for May? I've just come back off hols expecting a couple of parcels and there's nothing and no note from Royal Mail

Alidolly

@willowcat not had pink parcel yet (but not due till nearer end of month). YBD box did arrive though near the start of the month. Hope that helps...

Also received the A Beautiful World box - will post details later...
