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.

Really really excited! Nice surprise to get the email, I’m predicting hair care and maybe some incense.

Incense? That rates even lower than seaweed tea ☕ 🌊 🐬 (though I didn't mind it when I tried it).

Ooh I love their incense - I light one each morning before I start work, I like the ritual. My seaweed tea was donated to my OH’s work kitchen, definitely not for me.

Looking forward to this month's box! I'm really liking the seaweed tea, have almost gone through the serum and have half burned the candle from the last box so def ready for a new one! I'm not an incense fan though so hopefully no incense! (I'm thinking not as we just got a candle with the last box??) I don't think there's been any haircare so far so I agree with @Saurus72 on that prediction though!

rougechaotic · 30/08/2023 11:20

From the Maldives collection (which I'm guessing it will feature!) I'm hoping for the Eco Marine Cream or the Algae Plump + B3!

HundredMilesAnHour · 30/08/2023 12:00

I'm pretty much happy with anything now the seaweed tea is behind us. 😝

dullandgrey · 30/08/2023 13:16

So the seaweed tea wasn't a hit in our house even tho DH usually likes herbal teas. So getting through that very very slowly.. I'd be really happy with a body wash actually. Reaally don't want any hair product but I'm pretty sure this box will include it as it hasn't been done yet. Wouldn't mind incense but we already got the candle. I'd love a face cream but doubt that'll be included. Let's see! Hopefully a quicker wait this time round Smile

I got the DPD notice today so I'm hoping for a Friday delivery before the weekend! Anyone else?

Zoetrope1 · 31/08/2023 10:44

My box (005) just arrived! First one for me and I love it.

Ooh! Exciting! Nothing for me yet.

First one for me... not a hit alas. Without being specific, the main product is a 'lifestyle' item. I was hoping for something fab to re-gift to a friend... although DH liked the smell. Won't say anymore...

HundredMilesAnHour · 31/08/2023 13:23

No delivery email for me yet. I guess that means it won't arrive until next week. 😥 (Hopefully my Liberty GWP is arriving later today so that will have to keep me occupied until the Haeckels box turns up).

rougechaotic · 31/08/2023 13:26

@SmithfamilyRobinson I'm guessing either chalk diffuser or incense – if so, I'm really hoping for diffuser over incense! (although would be a little disappointed with either considering we got a candle in the last box – it would feel very similar!)

SmithfamilyRobinson · 31/08/2023 13:54

@rougechaotic guess again 😀
DM me if you want to know!
My wants for the future are soap, body lotion, moisturisers, toners. Anything nice enough to regift although no. 2 product might go in a Xmas hamper for a friend on the basis that the next 3 boxes will have something gift worthy!

rougechaotic · 31/08/2023 14:27

@SmithfamilyRobinson mine arrives tomorrow so I'm happy to keep guessing! I think I might have an inkling though...!

Saurus72 · 31/08/2023 15:48

I’m very intrigued! A lifestyle product..? Can’t even guess.

rougechaotic · 31/08/2023 17:30

@Saurus72 I'm wondering if it's the body cream?? It's more lifestyle than face / hair etc?? No idea but looking forward to finding out tomorrow!

Saurus72 · 31/08/2023 18:36

Always up for a body cream 😊

rougechaotic · 01/09/2023 09:30

My box is coming by 11.20 today 😆 unreasonably excited! It’s been a loooooong week and a Haeckels treat is exactly what I need today!

rougechaotic · 01/09/2023 11:04

Hmmm box has been delivered and like @Saurus72 I’m not really a fan… one product is small and feels useless at that size and the other two are things I’m not that interested in / probably won’t use. I think I would have preferred more seaweed tea! I’ll see what next month’s box holds but if I’m not impressed I’ll probably cancel. I think the people that got the earlier boxes before subscriptions grew probably got the best of them!!

Saurus72 · 01/09/2023 12:27

@rougechaotic I haven’t had mine yet so not sure if I’m a fan or not!

nicnicspicnic · 01/09/2023 12:49

Got my first one today. A bit underwhelmed but I'll try one more before I cancel. I wanted to like it as Haeckels is just round the corner from me.

rougechaotic · 01/09/2023 13:22

@Saurus72 sorry! I meant like @SmithfamilyRobinson!

dullandgrey · 01/09/2023 15:01

Ooh not sure what 'lifestyle' means! I was hoping for some skincare.. reactions seem mixed. I just got my email DPD are expecting the parcel and I'm away for the weekend so perhaps I'll have it on Monday.

HundredMilesAnHour · 01/09/2023 16:35

Mine is apparently being delivered on Monday so feels like quite the wait. I am a little grumpy about it. But still happy that it won't be the blasted seaweed tea.
