Sorry if I've missed anyone

@MentyB if you don't end up returning the BBC orders and want to sell on one of the Skin Rocks cleansers then PM me. I can throw in one of the Dr Jart Ceramidin masks as part ex if that interests you.

I ended up buying that mask to make up the cost of getting the Boots K Beauty discount last week so not fussed about keeping it.

@Stoic123 they are all lovely- If my life depended on picking just one, I’d go for the warm and woody selection. Luckily, it didn’t 😁.
Do check the scents though as one of the reviewers found it too masculine- I didn’t think so at all but you might and another thought two were too similar.

Thanks everyone. I am most tempted by Woody one at the moment as it has some really nice larger sizes.

That's what I understood as well @Addictedtobeauty but wasn't entirely sure because it wasn't written down.
However the founders box absolutely shows on the landing page of their own website that it has the H2O body cream and the description of the contents mention a body cream too.
A bit of a mess again, and we're only a small group.
I'm definitely absolutely not ordering until at least Christmas. My luck is sure to have run out by now.

@Sunnydaysarehereonceagain it definitely said in their insta that it was for the masterclass but doesn't look like anyone's had it included.
Ive screenshot the video on their insta and the info on the website on the founders. But as I said before their customer service is really hit and miss so not expecting much.

I'm assuming they don't always cap orders to the exact amount of products they have and the amount of each product they receive from the manufacturers varies. So they might have 1000 Votary creams but only 900 H2O creams which means a few boxes end up with other products.

@MentyB yes I saw it in insta and a body cream is mentioned in the online bulb. I doubt we’ll get any satisfaction fro customer services, but 🤞. (In my defence, I do have a rotten cold at the moment and the parcel that was supposed to lift my spirits hasn’t, so I’m just extra grump right now 🤣)

They have claimed on insta that the h20 cream you needed a code for but that I should have recieved the mask and to email, which I had already done, but as you have all said its mentioned and pictured so can't see that I needed a code for it?

Hmm I didn't use a code I think they're being awkward to avoid admitting they made a mistake. Which is very poor.

MINTD launched 4 different mystery edits, too pricey for me but they are a very high quality company, I've never had issues with them before.

I got this one too and I’m obsessed.

They have emailed to say they are investigating and want to solve the problem so fingers crossed it gets resolved early next week

Same here @MentyB

I also got the fresh and fruity one! It’s lovely. I’ve only tried a couple so far but I’m in love with the indigo fragrance

I got this one as well and am working through them a day at a time. Really liked the Jo Loves, not so sure about the Sana Jardin today.

Lots of fellow Fresh & Fruity fans!

I tried the Creed one tonight - more intense than the others I think but liked it.

I purchased the floral cult beauty edit as well as the fresh and fruity one. @Talisin I loved the Jo loves one too and am not too sure about the Sana Jardin one either. I'd like to see how that scent develops.

I'm thinking of picking up the same for my sister's birthday. I'd also quite like to try the woody one, so I might take another look. I used the blue light discount (after it was mentioned here) and felt they were a real steal for the price.

Did anyone go for the sweet one? Any thoughts on it?

I bought the sweet and sophisticated. Every fragrance is gorgeous and it’s my 17yo dds favourite box by a country mile. Only issue is it’s not quite as generous as the other edits - more smaller samples. However, I absolutely love commodity Milk and the Nest New York Vanilla and with the BLD, it’s definitely worth it.

I noticed it was less generous than the others. I already have Commodity Milk which is probably the best one in there in size terms.

I'm really surprised none of them have sold out yet unless they have a lot more in stock than usual for edits.

They are incredibly reasonable but I haven’t gone for one because my strong preference is fresh fragrances and they all have things that look a bit wrong for me.

@paristotokyo Me too! I love that one

I wore the Sana Jardin yesterday and agree. It's not that I dislike the smell, just a bit odd.

Sana Jardin claims that "this aromatic scent purifies the spirit and promotes deep meditation" so I'm going to wear it to my meditation class next week and see what happens 🙂.

I have had a response from BBC re: the disappointing goody bag. They are sending me the H20 cream and Dr Jart mask as a gesture of goodwill, although they claim I should have got either the H20 or the Vida glow (I did get Vida glow). This was not made clear at all in their marketing and there’s really no excuse for that- it’s a super easy choice to promote transparency or not. I’m happy with the result but definitely won’t be rushing back to order from them again. I am not a fan of this pervasive misleading advertising style they seem to favour.

Glad you got it resolved. They don't seem to have learned from the pre Xmas debacle.

@Addictedtobeauty I haven't been offered that, they asked for a photo of what I recieved but have also been told it was one or the other. I hope I get the same resolution

The Harvey Nichols advent calendar is showing as being in stock. Did anyone open it in December and if so what did you think? It's full price.
