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.

Genius idea Stella

Snoozy1 · 04/02/2012 13:51

Can anyone tell me if there's any Caudalie in the Feelunique box? wanted to order something and could do with the 10% off (Love the idea of a review/swap thread!)

dingdong3 · 04/02/2012 15:08

Mine just arrived about 10 minutes ago. There's no Caudalie Snoozy, sorry! There's a fragrance sample in it that I can't work out if it's mens or womens. Suspect it's mens as very musky. DH will be pleased Smile

Where in all things feckity deck have I been! I will be ordering 2!

gregssausageroll · 04/02/2012 16:32

Feel unique is sold out for February. Don't know I'd that means march will be the same or you can still subscribe later?

FAO Snoozy, the Amarya & Joliebox (Boudoir Prive) boxes sometimes contain Caudalie.
I've just started a BB spoiler thread because I want to know what's in the Feb Feel Unique box. Still dithering over Amarya.

thanks for this thread, I love to try new stuff and had no idea such things existed! I ordered the Jolie Box (am in France, so UK one might be different), 10 EUR per month. First one just arrived and it has

China Glaze red nail polish
Maybelline Dream Nude Mousse foundation
Algoane toner
Pure Altitude mask
YSL Forever youth liberator serum

Very pleased. One blogger has added it up, almost 100 EUR.

Snoozy1 · 04/02/2012 19:04

Thanks for that. I'm off to find the spoiler thread now!

Got my feel unique box today. Literally squealed with delight.
Good size Elemis body wash, lovely orangey colour nail varnish, decleor facial exfoliator, phillip kingsley volume spray, new JPG tester perfume and best of all a small bottle of Nuxe gold body oil which I love.
Cant wait for next month

TragicallyHip · 05/02/2012 10:39

Oh I haven't got my FU box yet. Monday hopefully!

I get Fell Unique, Glossy Box, Jolie and Carmine. There is another one called She Said Beauty which I am going to sign up for. I love them all!

If you aren't signed up to Carmine keep an eye out for ads in Facebook as there is a link to a £5 box. Use code STYLISTDEC1411 for a half price Glossy Box too. There always seem to be code's floating about!

If anyone wants to know what's been in the last 5 months boxes PM me as I write a blog and have them all on there. Also there is a Facebook page where you can swap unwanted products if you get things you don't like Smile

TragicallyHip · 05/02/2012 10:40

Oh wow China Glaze! I hope we get that

StellaAndFries · 05/02/2012 13:01

My finger is twitching over the SheSaid subscription button Grin

TragicallyHip · 05/02/2012 13:37

I can't not! If it was a great box I would be gutted, hate missing out Grin

Think I might do the 6 month plan as they are giving 40% off...

There's just a few hours left to order the Feb Jolie box. Do I succumb? I'm getting dreadful urges...

Also, all new subscribers to the Feb Jolie box get the concealer brush as a free extra - this was in the Dec box.

ChiefPotterer · 06/02/2012 10:45

Hi Housewife, just PM'd you.

dingdong3 · 06/02/2012 15:07

Much more impressed with Glossybox than Feel Unique. It arrived just now. Good size products as per Chief's post above, will use them all. Pleased after not being overly wow'd by FU. Smile

dingdong3 · 06/02/2012 16:19

Just put up pics on my blog of the Feel Unique and Glossy Box boxes that I received this week if you want a peek.

StellaAndFries · 06/02/2012 16:19

I got my latest in beauty box and I think for me it was better than both my GlossyBox and Carmine :)
I've had to rearrange my make up case, toiletries bag and hair care bag though to accommodate everything I've recieved in the last week or so Blush
