    Did any of you buy the boutique box? I read a review and the box is awful... Even if you like the products, the value is £7.31, items available for like 99p. A couple of blogs I follow removed the posts they had about it. I feel like this is a scam, people taking advantage of the popularity of boxes. Should I remove the link from the first page? I wouldn't want us to advertise a box like this. What do you think?

    I didn't buy it and looking at reviews I'm very glad I didn't. Seems like the value was much less than the cost of the box. I would maybe remove the link on first page, at least until they up their game! X

    Maybe keep the link for one more month but with a warning added, just in case it was just a dodgy start.

    Seen the items on YouTube though - Shocking!
  • Can anyone else get on my boutique box fb page? I think it may have been deleted! To be fair to them all 5 brands advertised on their website were featured in the box this month.

    On a brighter note....who's excited about new LMB box/site revamp tomorrow?

    That's true, they did say which products there would be in the box. I can't access the fb page, probably too many complains and they deleted it!

    I am not that excited with LMB. The last two months they feature only make up. The boxes are good but not my style. But I am curious to see what they plan to do!

    I hope memebox will announce some discount codes because I want to buy some boxes!

    Regarding the cheap vs. nice boxes, I prefer to spend the money on the products, not on the packaging.

    Can any one post a pic of the My boutique box if they got one?

    They should have waited until they had an amazing first box, for our boxes we are working on a 3x value of the price paid as a bare minimum so I am totally puzzled as to what they were thinking

    Their Twitter is still active though!

    Was it the body scrub? Mine was ok until I took the cellophane seal off. Then I moved it to the bathroom and got oil everywhere as the lid dosen't seal.

    I would send them a pic of the damage and ask for a replacement.

    It was!
    I emailed them earlier and got this reply:

    "Thank you for your email below and interest in the Summer Beauty Box.

    We are very sorry to hear about the damaged Pecksniff's body scrub and we will ask our warehouse to send out a replacement product along with a new brush! And thank you for picking up on our error on the note.

    Must do better, would be the school report, I feel!


    With best wishes
    Karen and Tim​"

    So that was good. I wouldn't have thought to email them if I hadn't seen you girls mention it so thank you :)
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.
