I don’t know if you’ve had the email and not wishing to put temptation in your way, but LIB are doing a beauty box from tomorrow reduced to £20 with some very nice items indeed 👍 You can choose your own things. I got this particular one last year and got a 30ml bottle of Hugo Boss for men as one of the items. Gave it to Mr SA for his birthday and he was very happy indeed. I think you can choose 6 items.

Hi @Sun_Addict - my beauty box arrived!  And a free gift of a nice little make-up bag was included!😀. However I totally messed up on the ordering as I thought the exfoliater and eye mask were the full sizes, i.e 100ml of exfoliator and pack of 5 eye masks.  However I actually received travel sizes so I was only up £1.89 on the monthly sub. ☹️  But this was my fault for not checking properly - there were lots of other things on the list that were full sizes.  And the exfoliator was very good when I tried it out so I think this will be a regular addition to my beauty products. It's sold in Waitrose too. 

And I had a look at the £20 box. There was some really good value products on there, e.g. a full size Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in the must-have colour Pillow Talk. When I bought this some weeks ago with a gift voucher it was retailing at £26!  However by the time I went through the list it had sold out, along with a couple of other products I had my eye on. I think you have to be quick and get on there as soon as you get the email. 

Anyway, here's the beauty box I received. The message on the make-up bag made my day!!!🤣

You have to check the sizes as many of them are travel size. I managed to find 6 items for the £20 box but a lot of things had gone and I suspect they may have done when it was being sold for £30 as still good value. Not a bad haul for £9 though 👍

I too tried to get the £20 box too late. All the best buys had gone. Next time I'll be quicker! One of the things I signed up for was to try new things so the smaller sizes suit me. Then if I like it I can always buy a bigger one. I'm terrible for buying products that I don't like and at full price it is a terrible waste. I see Amie in Waitrose sometimes on offer so good to know you were impressed.

Have a good day all
