Beauty Boxes

[Housewife2010]

I'm really tempted to try ones of these. Anyone recommend Glossy Box, Boudoir Prive, Feel Unique or similar? I keep reading beauty blogs to see which is best.

Also, today is the last day to join Amarya & get free P&P for your first year. It is currently £10 a month. After tomorrow it's £12.50 a month. You can cancel anytime. If you tell them I referred you (just PM me) we will both get a free box at the end of the year. The referral email has to be sent within 7 days of joining. There is always a full size product in the Amarya box & it is all organic and very nice.

I think it's a shame that Carmine are going. I know they're officially merging with Glossybox, but I think it will stay Glossybox & I don't see any Carmine influence coming through. (Rather like when old schoolgirl comics merged so that the readers of the weaker magazine would be nudged towards the more successful one rather than drifting elsewhere. Mandy comic - I loved it so...)
Just to tout for business.. If any woebegone Carmine fans want to join Glossybox & are willing to use my link so that I can get Glossybox loyalty points, I would be very happy!

So the news is Carmine are merging with Glossybox. Gutted I'm not going to get my half price introductory Carmine box now!

[MrsMack80]

I wonder what is happenning with Carmine HW, I was really looking forward to my introductory box so I hope I still get it! Will be interesting to see what is going on, as long as they are not merging with Shesaid! My original dispatch date was yesterday I think and now it's showing as the 30th. Plus they've had my money for weeks!

[Housewife2010]

I don't know if the Carmine box is going to be pulled (like Feel Unique's) but on their FB page they are promising a big announcement in the next few days. They aren't taking any more orders & their product manager has defected to Shesaid Beauty. I got my first Carmine box last month & it was the alternative one but I thought it was good value & I really like the blusher.

[Housewife2010]

Ive just got my Harrods GB though & its very nice

[Housewife2010]

I've missed the Naked 2 sale! They mailed me 28 minutes ago to tell me it had just started. I've just logged on & it's gone already!

[StellaAndFries]

Money not moment too much

[StellaAndFries]

There is a thread where you can suggest products for the MN Buyapowa, I was very tempted by the smash box pallette but blew my birthday moment on new clothes and fripperies.

[MadamTwoSwords]

I know and I don't even wear eyeshadow that often but I must have it!

I'm such a sheep it's unreal

[Housewife2010]

Madam
you sound like me! We'll have to put an alert on MN S&B when the Naked palette becomes available! I bought the Bobbi Brown Ultra Nude palette this week but I'm getting swept up in the hype of the Urban Decay Naked 2 now!

[MadamTwoSwords]

I want the Naked 2 but they always put it on at the wrong time of the month for me and you have to be quick as it sells out really quick.

I keep trying to downsize my collection by giving stuff to my sister but with my new addiction to Beauty Boxes it's not going to plan

[Housewife2010]

I'm interested in the Urban Decay Naked 2 sale which is starting soon. I'm getting too obsessed with makeup at the moment. I ended up putting it on for the school run today just to make a dent in it...

[MadamTwoSwords]

I've had a couple of bits from Buyapowa.
Origins spot gel and Lanolips. It's very easy to get carried away by the bargains!

[Housewife2010]

I'm looking forward to my Glossybox too. I'll have to steal myself not to spoil the surprise by searching for spoilers.
Has anyone checked out the beauty buys on buyapowa.co.uk? I bought Greens & Blacks chocolate from them last week but they have lots of cosmetic offers now.

[louby86]

I'm really excited about my glossy box, I hope I'm not disappointed!

[StellaAndFries]

Eeeeeeek my Harrods GlossyBox has been shipped I'm v.excited!

[MrsMack80]

I'm jealous!

Got email with another deal today - Latest in Beauty have a discount code for 50% off their 'luxury samples' when you buy 5+ (Code MUM50), I think you might have to register to view them, some pretty good deals.

[msbuggywinkle]

I got my Amarya box this morning, I'm impressed.

Full sized John Masters organics rosemary and lavender shampoo.
Full sized John Masters organics lip balm, which is citrusy.
2ml Ren anti ageing serum sample.
Sachet of Inlight face oil.

[MrsMack80]

No problem, enjoy your box! My first one isn't till April, can't wait!

[hiviolet]
