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.

Ooh mine is due to arrive tomorrow!

False alarm! It’s a sample of the new SPF - I saw on Discord you could email them and they’d be in touch if they have any new products to test and I said I’d test this (well before seeing the email about this month’s box)

Babysharkdoodoodood · 02/07/2024 21:32

@Specialkp I got my tester today as well. Looks very unlike any sunscreen I've seen before. Hope I don't break out.

Cyclingmummy1 · 05/07/2024 07:05

My box is on its way!

Mine is being delivered tomorrow.

Babysharkdoodoodood · 05/07/2024 21:38

I'm really hoping that one of the full sizes is NOT the sunscreen, after using the tester this week. My face is like a chip fryer.

Housewife2010 · 06/07/2024 09:13

I applied for the tester but didn't hear anything.

Same. Maybe just as well since it sounds so oily.

Housewife2010 · 06/07/2024 11:45

My box has just arrived. Very good value & useful products.

My box arrived this morning and I'm delighted with it.

Housewife2010 · 08/07/2024 14:20

Is anyone still waiting or are we ready to discuss?

HundredMilesAnHour · 08/07/2024 15:03

I'm still waiting but I know the contents so go ahead and discuss (assuming everyone else has their boxes).

Specialkp · 08/07/2024 17:44

I’ve got mine…

jurassictart · 08/07/2024 18:10

I have mine :)

Cyclingmummy1 · 09/07/2024 08:07

I like the refill. It was easy to squeeze and smells nice, though not a gorgeous as the cocktail waste. I've chopped up the bag and hope it composts.

I've not tried the SPF yet. The reviews are mixed so not sure what to expect.

Am I the only one who is still waiting for their box? Grrrr, Haeckels.....

What's the sample this month? I read about the 2 items but no-one has mentioned what the sample is yet.

JoJo36 · 09/07/2024 09:55

I didn’t get a sample this month, just the SPF and refill (love both).

jurassictart · 09/07/2024 10:27

No sample for me either. Very keen to take a run at the sunscreen (even if it's oily on the face, hopefully it'll be good for the body); and happy with the gel (is it the one we got a few months back?)

Cyclingmummy1 · 09/07/2024 12:31

No sample @HundredMilesAnHour

I really like the SPF.

SmithfamilyRobinson · 09/07/2024 19:04

Both products work for me. The only problem is I ripped open the packing for the refill without reading it so can anyone tell me which way up the insert was? Wondering what to put it in. We usually recycle all the shower gel bottles and I didn't get the box with the original product (a glass bottle?)
SPF watch this space. Judging by the weather, they aren't going to sell out!

I'm already using my hand wash bottle for another handwashing, so I bought these from Amazon

I really really like the SPF. I'm sure some will find it too oily but I prefer a very dewy finish, and often wear a face oil in the daytime too. I'm also very fussy as loads of SPFs irritate my eyes and this doesn't.

HundredMilesAnHour · 11/07/2024 18:44

I'm still waiting for my box 😥

Cyclingmummy1 · 11/07/2024 20:56

@HundredMilesAnHour you can't be! It must be lost.
