Beauty Boxes (Monthly Subscription) Codes and Chat Thread 2

Alidolly

OK...mixed feelings about the A Beautiful World box. Contained 9 items in a bright red box which was inside a brown cardboard box. However, 3 of those items were not beauty products - pencil, plastic ziplock bag and a Cotton tote bag. There was one large product - Calm Down body wash in ginger and lavender (281ml) but most of the rest were sample sizes. There was also one product that didn't look right (clumps of brown / copper plus particles floating in the bottle). Sent photos to the company and they agreed and are sending out a replacement. Not an auspicious start.

There was - BB cream (5ml), Natural deodorant (0.5oz), cacao mask (15ml pot), day cream (10ml), body wash (281ml), body mist (60ml).

It's my understanding that boxes aren't all exactly the same either so some may be better than others. Is it worth over £20? In my opinion, No it's not and don't think I'd buy their next box unless I knew what it was to contain.

Hope that helps..

New box released by Latest in Beauty from Heart radio. Costs £15 and if you use Heart15 you'll get free delivery (unlike stupid who forgot to add the code d'oh!). Contains brands like Philisophy, Dove, Balancd Me and filled to the brim as usual.

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

Two months I put on hold my pink parcel order, I renewed my subscription this month and I was supposed to receive a box these days. I haven't received anything and no money were taken. Now on the website it's written that my next box will be in June... 1 week ago it was written that I was supposed to receive the May box these days... I am a bit disappointed but as no money were taken I am fine. I updated my card details just in case this was the problem. Did you pay for the pink parcel?

A Beautiful World doesn't sound great... The Heart Radio box is not bad but I will skip it. Has anyone cancelled the LMB? Did you receive a confirmation for the cancellation?

I found a great offer that deserves a separate post...see below!

If you spend £20 on beauty in M&S you get the M&S beauty box for free which is worth £59 and contains:

• Nuxe Masque Crème Fraiche de Beaute 24hr Soothing and Rehydrating Fresh Mask 50ml
• Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 40ml
• Eternal Love Eau de Parfum 25ml
• Leighton Denny High Performance Nail Colour 12ml
• Ren Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot 10ml
• Contains 20% off beauty voucher
• Leighton Denny nail colour may vary

If you buy beauty items already discounted, the website considers the full price of the product instead of the reduced price! So I paid £13.50 for two sun creams (they are half price!), I will collect them for free on Sunday from my local M&S and I should get the box for free!! I'm happy! Anyway I was going to buy some sun creams for the summer! If you use the offer don't forget to add the box in your basket and use cashback sites! currently %5.05!
