No spoilers please, but had anyone had their August box yet? Last month I received it on July 1st but I've not even had a dispatch email yet.

Mine has arrived. This is my first box, thanks to whoever posted about it on the beauty drop thread. I’m really pleased. No spoilers but I think judging on what others have posted everyone will be pleased!

OMG I'm so jealous!! No email about despatch for me still and even when the email arrives, my local courier seems to be hopeless and it takes 3 days at least while they 'attempt' delivery (with no signs of any actual attempts in real life) and I get increasingly frustrated and annoyed.

I'd love a candle. I have a candle subscription from a small family run company, I've had it for ages and have loved it, but the last three have been very strong florals which make me sneeze. If this month's is the same, I might cancel.

The botanical candle company does a lovely subscription box

Fabulous, thank you @Cyclingmummy1 I didn't realise candle subscriptions even existed until I read your post. But Googling has revealed that apparently I'm been living under a rock. Who knew?! Not me apparently. 🙄

Just returning the favour for the Haeckels intro 😁

Very envious @Oranges102 I wonder if they send new subscriber boxes first? That would explain why I had mine so early last month.

Can anyone tell me what they've had previously in boxes? Google isn't helping!

I think it's just luck of the draw. Especially this month. I've been a subscriber since the beginning but my box was also early last month. I think they're just refining their process as they've increased the number of subscriptions (the first 2 months was a very limited number of subscriptions that were snapped up within an hour or two) but it sounds like this month has gone a bit pear-shaped because of the new boxes.

Cyclingmummy1 · 04/08/2023 19:59

Ooh, they look lovely @Bonfire23 . Just what I need, another subscription 😆

You’ll be really pleased. I signed up because of you!

Ha thank you @Oranges102, I'm relieved you're happy! I just want my damn box before @Cyclingmummy1 and I combust with impatience 😂

Babysharkdoodoodood · 04/08/2023 20:20

Got my dispatch email from dpd today.

Disappointed about the boxes as they're lovely for packing gifts in. I'm still using the sample night cream. Eeking(sp) it out as it's so lovely but I don't need another full-size one.

I managed to get in, in time for box 2. No regrets at all.

Cyclingmummy1 · 04/08/2023 22:18

I've had an email saying it will be Tuesday before the next batch of boxes/packaging arrive.

Oh b*gger, this made me check my email and I have the same. 😥

Cyclingmummy1 · 05/08/2023 08:05

@HundredMilesAnHour I think I'm going to pop with anticipation!

We're going to a food fair today so hoping for some really interesting stalls to distract me 😂

dullandgrey · 05/08/2023 08:54

Oh I got the Tuesday email also! Never mind. I'd quite like a serum and moisturiser. A candle or perfume would also be nice. Is it usually two products in each box?

Cyclingmummy1 · 05/08/2023 10:17

@dullandgrey I think so, one off the shelf and one special edition. Last month was a perfume and a hand/body wash plus a clay mask sample. It was quite a good sample, I got three 'faces' from it.

That sounds like an excellent distraction @Cyclingmummy1 I actually woke up this morning thinking about the damn box. 😂

I'm going to the gym (if I can motivate myself) and then having my hair cut - hair cut is a source of more angst as it was supposed to be in a couple of week's time on the morning of a wedding I'm attending (so my hair would look perfect for the wedding) but my hairdresser has decided to go away on the wedding weekend and the only time he can fit me in is this afternoon. 😬I will be comforting myself by buying a Babelle canele from Monmouth on my walk to the salon (if there's a huge queue in Monmouth, I will probably throw a hissy fit like the spoiled brat I appear to have become). I just want my Haeckels box really.😂

HundredMilesAnHour · 06/08/2023 20:53

I just ordered the new algae clay face mask that Haeckels released on their website today (and used my £5 off coupon from the delayed subscription box). This is the mask that we got as a sample in the previous box and I really loved it so very happy - or rather, I will be when it arrives and when the actual subscription box finally arrives. Hoping it will be rather like buses with waiting for ages then two Haeckels deliveries arrive at once 😜

Saurus72 · 06/08/2023 22:22

I just bought the mask too - used the 15% discount code plus the £5, so v reasonable. It’s great for my skin - including the good sized samples in the subscription box is really helpful because you need more than a single go to work out if it’s right I think. V v v excited about the box this week (hopefully😬).

Cyclingmummy1 · 07/08/2023 10:04

I'd forgotten we got 15% as well as the voucher. I really liked the mask but I've just opened a tube ago don't need another one.

I also bought three bottles of gin on Saturday so that warded off my disappointment for a few days 😆

Oooh finally got the delivery email that DPD are expecting my box (no eta yet). 😍Hoping that means it might arrive tomorrow fingers crossed.

Dammit, just realised it went to one of my other email accounts so it's probably the face mask rather than the subscription box 🙄

Cyclingmummy1 · 08/08/2023 12:56

No email yet. Even checked the dpd app 😆

Got mine Smile

I won't give the contents away yet though.

dullandgrey · 09/08/2023 10:44

Got my email today that DPD are expecting the parcel. Hopefully not too long now!
