Haeckels subscription box

[Cyclingmummy1]

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.

Same and I’m leaving at 6am! Just rearranged it for next Thursday 🤦‍♀️

Also there is something I definitely DON’T want…..

Ha ha @SmithfamilyRobinson yes I know I'm a miserable cow. 😂I'm probably excessiveIy disappointed as I'm working crazy hours at work to meet some bonkers deadlines so tired, stressed and hungry (8pm and I'm just about to eat some lunch!!) and my box arriving was my hope for something nice to happen. Daren't say anymore about the contents or I might spoil the surprise for others but WTF Haeckels?!! I'll be gifting my items - literally not keeping a thing.

I got my box yesterday - and agree it’s a pretty disappointing one! I actually cancelled my subscription before this box arrived and now feel like I’ve made the right decision! I need to cut back on spending for a while due to some unexpected costs and was worried the arrival of this box would make me regret it… no chance of that! (Although knowing my luck the next one will probably be amazing!)

Have sent you a pm about subscribing or not @HundredMilesAnHour

I'm pretty pleased with this box. One item is a definite dud, but the other is great for me - and the smaller item is just meh.

I've just opened mine. As PP said - one dud (I bet Vinted will be getting a stash of them soon), one I like as I haven't had it before and sample is not exciting. Not overwhelmed this month. 😒

I’ve just signed up. Swithering about cancelling Liberty but want to check this one out first. My first one will be May 😊

Box received today and I’m pleased with the main size bottled product. The sample I am curious about as I have issues in that area of the body. The other product, I tried and think may add something 🐝 to it to improve it.

@TracyBeakerSoYeah I just replied. (Sorry for the delay, been a long crazy day at work).

Thanks again @HundredMilesAnHour & I'm subscribing.
Won't get my first box till May so hope it's just as good (well to me it is) or better than the April box (for anyone who doesn't like what's in the April box)

Edited for typo

Bastard Royal Mail emailed to say I wasn't in to take delivery. I was right there in the kitchen!

Typical! I am doomed not to find out the rubbish item.

Mine is being delivered on the 15th.

Ha ha. I have my box! I am happy with this one (so I can confirm no room spray!) But I can see why there are unhappy bods. I haven't tried the offending item yet!

@HundredMilesAnHour is the really bad item the one we moaned about a lot a few months ago? I thought it was going to be a candle, but now think it might be a repeat of the other one. I quite liked it in the end.

@Cyclingmummy1 It is indeed. You can imagine my utter joy! 😂I guess the only way is up from here.

I'm sure you were delighted @HundredMilesAnHour and still have the smile on your face 😀 😖

I am wondering whether the offending item can be used in the bath? I am not too offended by it, but am always keen when items can multi-task :)

@jurassictart well if you want to try it in a basin of water in a pop sock/old tights so you don't block drains? It might be a bit astringent though?

I think this box is a good one - the contents have a retail price of £97 so quite clever mixing something 'marmite' with a high value product - will this shift opinion...?

Based on @SmithfamilyRobinson 's comments, I've not had the bottle item before and am almost finished my current bottle of the same product.

So I’ve a good idea what one of the items is (and it’s the one I definitely didn’t want), but curious about the rest still. My box is being delivered tomorrow, back home after a slightly stressful family visit home so am looking forward to it!!!

@Cyclingmummy1 did you receive your box yet?
I can’t talk about it until I’m sure I won’t accidentally spoil it 😂

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but Haeckels have been active again on their Discord channel. Lots of discussion about how the sub box could change and they were interested in people's opinions on what we want and how it could be better. Looks like they're listening again.

@Specialkp yes, arrived today.

I like the tea but there's no way I'd spend that sort of money on it. I'll try the sample - would have liked a bigger bottle - and am nearly finished my current serum so will try this one next.

Also got my Liberty beauty drop today. A bit underwhelming so I've cancelled.

oh good @Cyclingmummy1
I am not sure about the tea, I did not want it! Concerned if I don’t like it it’ll just go to waste.

And I agree about wanting a bigger sample size.

I’m looking forward to trying the serum but I just opened a new one so it’ll be a while!
I guess I’m a little confused about it being called ‘Innovation’ as all the products, even the sample, are available to buy on their website.

I’ll stick with it for another month in the hope of some body/home products.

Expecting my Liberty box in the next day or so and I already know what’s in it and have spent my credit so will be cancelling too
