I'm getting a beauty box. Which one?

I'm getting a beauty box starting next month. Which one would you recommend? I've heard GlossyBox has gone downhill. True?

Which do you order?

I get Glossybox. It's a bit of a hit and a miss but I generally use most of the items they send. The only other one I've tried is the Latest in Beauty You mag special. It was fab!

I've been impressed with Jolie Box for the last few months. Interesting products i hadn't heard of.

Glossybox did get a little rubbish for a while but has improved, so that's a good solid box too. But generally I think Jolie Box has more 'interesting' products if that makes any sense.

I also get She Said Beauty (I know, it's addicting, but I'm stopping this one) - I've had 3 so far and their latest has been their best. Not terribly impressed with this one and I think they oversold it.

Do also look at the Latest in Beauty themed boxes they sell every couple of months - they have been superb. You can't subscribe to them but if you sign up to their emails they let you know when they're coming out so you can buy on on the day of release.

Are you a member of Topcashback? There's some brilliant deals for Glossybox on there. www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/member35142194115 (Please note that if you use my link I will receive money for referring you, you can go directly but obviously I would be very happy if you used my link!)
On TCB there's a code for free P&P & also if you go through TCB you will also get £7.07 off your first box. So, it's less than £3 for your first box & you can cancel it whenever you like.
If you are willing to let me refer you to Glossybox I will get loyalty points www.glossybox.co.uk/​invitation/​NDY0MTY=?utm_source=Customers&u​tm_medium=link&utm_term=NDY0MT​Y%3D&utm_campaign=Refer-a-frie​nd%2F
I get Glossybox & Amarya on yearly subscriptions (on TCB you can get an annual sub to Glossybox for £50 - full price £135). I also get Jolie Box but may cancel that. I have 3 Amarya boxes so far & find them excellent value - they are organic products. Do a search for Beauty Boxes on MN - there was a very long thread in February when lots of us discovered them.
Re Amarya if you fancy trying it & PM me to let me refer you we will both get a voucher for £10 off from the Amarya online shop if we spend £30. This is worth doing, because if you decide later that you want a yearly sub you can use the £10 off it.
I find Glossybox can be hit & miss but my last one was brilliant. £46 worth of stuff & I'm using everything. Jolie Box can be good, but I'm getting overrun with cosmetics so something has to go.
The best thing to do is to check online to see what previous boxes have contained so you can see which box you prefer. Re Amarya & Jolie Box - everyone gets the same (makeup colours will vary), but Glossyboxes have several different varieties each month so it's luck whether you like the one you receive. However, when you can get one for less than £3 it's worth going for it.

I'm not a member but I'll become one and use your link! Will it still work next Monday?

I think it's £50 cashback for a years sub of Glossybox on TCB, not £50 payment.
