Beauty Boxes

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.

Housewife was it the December one? It sounds the same as mine but I got mascara instead of eyeshadow :) (I think it was either/or)

The nail polish is lovely. I've had it on my toes for about 3 weeks now with no chips!

Housewife2010 · 17/01/2012 22:14

Hello Mrs Meow
Yes it was the December one. I ordered it last week. I was very impressed with it. They are promising that the delayed January one will be special so I'm looking forward to that. I'm getting urges to try more though - very addictive!

Loving the sound of this!! Is there a code you need to get £3 off the Carmine box this month?

Kellamity · 18/01/2012 11:10

I think I have made my mind up - I think I am going to go for the Carmine Box!

buggyRunner · 18/01/2012 15:31

kellamity I used to be skinnyGirl! Think the boxes will be so RHNY!

humblehippo · 18/01/2012 15:43

Ooh people are talking about a foam shower gel, is this a Rituals one? I love those!

DottyDot · 18/01/2012 15:46

good lord I had no idea such things existed. MN adding to my education again... Grin

MrsMeow · 18/01/2012 15:47

Humble yes it's Rituals. I LOVE it!

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 18/01/2012 18:54

I think I might have to do the rounds of them all ( one at a time) Wink . Any ideas on how I can justify it to myself though when I'm so strapped ?
Somebody will be along from AIBU in a minute to tell me that IABU for even considering it if I'm strapped ...Grin

therumoursaretrue · 18/01/2012 19:34

nannyplum I get carmine and glossy box (and hoping to try others soon!) I justified it by cutting out cans of diet coke and using the money for beauty boxes instead! When you think about it a box is on about £2.50 a week so not bad!

Strawberrytallcake · 18/01/2012 19:42

I just subscribed to Joliebox as I read about it at the hairdressers in the hello supplement for this month...had no idea about these beauty box things but very excited about receiving one next month!!!!

Strawberrytallcake · 18/01/2012 19:43

Oh lord...I just had a look at Carmine and I love Neom and Caudalie so think I might have to join there too.........

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 18/01/2012 20:05

Hooray ! I just done it - ordered Feel Uniques . Are we all going to stay on the thread and share our excitement as we each get our goodies Grin
Then we can all decide which one to get next .... Wink

Kellamity · 18/01/2012 20:56

Right I'm going to sign up right now!

Kellamity · 18/01/2012 21:01

Done it!

Kellamity · 18/01/2012 21:02

I'll report back when it arrives. I'm not too old am I? (40)

MrsMeow · 18/01/2012 21:16

Oh this isn't good, I want to order them all to try!

StellaAndFries · 18/01/2012 21:31

I'm really tempted and trying to justify to myself and dp that it's only £2.50 a week.

Housewife2010 · 18/01/2012 21:41

I really wish I could have earned commission for all the trade I've drummed up for them by starting this thread!
I've been looking at the Beauty Blogs - last month's Amarya box looked fantastic - a fullsize Ren gift set - I love Ren! That box is still available but it's £20 as opposed to the usual £10 & P&P.
I'm interested in trying another one now but I can't get 2 a month - even though I want to. I'm looking forward to seeing what my 2nd Glossybox is like at the end of the month.

Housewife, it looks like there's a recommendation system at GlossyBox. I think I'm going to sign up, so I'll hang fire until you can benefit.

PM me if you fancy colluding.

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 18/01/2012 22:11

kellamity don't be a berk Wink.
Which one did you sign up for ?
I have been looking at all the beauty blogs this eve ..

NannyPlumIsMyMum · 18/01/2012 22:12

Stella I haven't told DH when it comes I will just tell him it's an advertising freebie Grin .

Kellamity · 18/01/2012 22:13
