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!

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!

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

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!

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

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.
