Beauty Boxes (Monthly Subscription) Codes and Chat Thread 2

belleooo

Hi, just received the January Birchbox, with some keep fit theme going of. I think this is my least favourite box from them. As a full time carer living in the middle of nowhere Gyms are the last thing on my mind. With the exception of one makeup item the samples are trial sizes and I'm trying to justify the overall costs. The lifestyle item is useless for me and will be binned. One cup of tea, seriously Birchbox lol. Disappointed.

So, just ordered my first Beauteque bag - head to toe milk one. They are based in the US but sell Korean beauty products like Tony Moly, Skinfood, Etude House. You can buy individual bags which contain 7 full sized products for $23 plus shipping (if I remember correctly anyway). Bag is usually a cosmetic bag plus the products. They also do a subscription service too. I've been assured tht people in the UK won't be charged customs when it does arrive so will let you know if I do! There is a degree of customisation as well from what I can tell..

So, in summary costs approximately £21 but get 7 full size products plus bag.

Also just signed up to the Your Beauty box as its only £6.95 which isn't much each month (and I've LOADS of Memeboxes so don't need a lot!).

For those who want to see what they'll be getting in their My Little Box, there is a Facebook page in French that has the French box (which is essentially the same box except some of the beauty products are different). Its called "My Little Spoiler"...so if you want to peek

Beauteque looks good! I haven't seen that before. I ordered 6 of those Skin Food milkshake nail varnishes from Roseroseshop last year for only approximately $1.50 each though. They're fantastic nail polishes, last for days without chipping.

My BB arrived and it looked empty... the items are tiny even if there is a full make up item! The yoga thingy is useless to me... Glad my subscription is over.

For £21 the beauteque toe milk looked expensive. I would probably use everything in the bag but I wouldn't be super-excited to receive. I am curious to see how the monthly subscription is.

The LIB boxes were lovely. I got them on 3 for 2 and was so impressed I bought one for DDIL for Christmas, with the 30% cyber sale discount. She loved it, contained so much stuff.

Atm I'm denying myself any boxes until I use up my stash. I can't resist looking on here though and nearly caved when I saw the look fantastic boxes

I have got a GB coming though from Glossydots.

A day of boxes!

Firstly My Little Box - Energy Box which I'm happy with as seems a solid box for the theme. (Wont spoil for those still waiting for theirs to arrive!).

Also received You Beauty box. Smaller than I thought it would be but happy with the items (Afyna scrub and lotion as late to the party with the selections).

Quick question - when do they put up the next months selection for You Beauty? Want to get in their quick for February lol!! TIA

Still waiting for my Birchbox, for some reason it's extremely late this month. Is anyone else still waiting for their box?

Did you get a tracking number? BB sends an email saying that your order has been dispatched and includes a tracking number. What's the status?

I received already mine but it just lays in one corner, not interested in it at all this month...

Hi everyone, not sure if this has already been posted, but I've just signed up for the GB and used HELLOFRESH for a free box (good until 16/02/15) .

It's only for new customers, but if you were going to sign up anyway, definitely worth using, oh and a bit of cash back as well with Quidco.

PS - Sorry if I've posted anything I shouldn't have.
