I feel a bit disappointed for the first time with this box. The perfume has given me a headache, I rarely carry handbags so no need for a mirror in one and I don’t like the rich cream. Love the face mask though, I buy these ones regularly so that’s a bonus and cuticle oils are always welcome in our house. I wish I’d signed up to the fragrance launch but didn’t fancy it on my own tbh. Maybe they’ll put one in the January box as a post Christmas treat / temptation.

If I’m putting makeup on I’m doing it at home with a proper mirror, I don’t sit on the train doing it!
I don’t need a mirror to put lipstick on; I know where my mouth is 😂
Anyway, mirror is no use to me, I’m just surprised that people find them useful is all.

I must be the exception as I really like the perfume. Also loved the Darling Nikki last time

Well, I'm happy enough! The perfume I think is masculine but DH thinks it's too feminine for him 😂

The oil and the cream will get used. I'll give away the mask as a I'm not a fan of cold slippery badly fitting masks of any variety - I prefer cream masks etc. Mum will probably get the mirror at Xmas!

I’m happy with the box. I’m probably one of the few on the thread who really like the AB Cream, so handy to have a small travel size. I like the perfume too, and nice that it is a decent size.

I actually not infrequently do put make up on while on the train to work, so the mirror will come in handy for me. It’s already found its way in to my commuting make up bag (a Liberty one, of course).

I might have accidentally purchased the full size perfume. I have spent far too much on perfume this month but I deserve it 😂(and I had £60 credit and a £10 voucher).

I’m with you - I love both of them too! It’s been a good couple of boxes for me. Am also thrilled with the mirror - I’m easily pleased!!

Me too, make up on train plus with my Liberty bag 😊

I like the box - not sure about the fragrance- it’s quite spicy. A good size though.

AHH this gives me hope as I haven't opened box yet (working) but loved darling nikki

This is my first box and I love it, except my mirror was smashed! Do you think they’ll send me another one if I send them a photo?

@FlipperSkipper yes, without a doubt.

I like this box, I think it’s very generous. The perfume is nice, but not for me. Am I right in thinking that the mask is worth £20? I am planning to go to the launch tomorrow if I can get there in time.

I’ve just realised, I hope I’ve not made the same mistake with this perfume as I did when buying the full size peony couture. One was eau de perfume and one was eau de toilette and they smelled completely different.

Yes @LinaCavalieri , mine went to my old address , even though the first 2 came to my current address , I emailed them , they sent another out to the correct address , by way of apology and then checked they had the correct address ( I also had the one from the old address as we still live locally and the new people called me and I went to collect it ! )
The next one was delivered correctly , and I’m expecting the new one soon

Cuticle oil - so in the ‘instructions’ they say to use it after the topcoat? But we’d sort our wayward cuticles out before the polish right? Or is it before and after?? Both?

This feels like the day I realised you put facial oil on at the end and not the beginning 😱

Just opened mine, think I like the perfume but I'll see when it settles. There are already bottles on eBay for £28
Not a bad box for free, only bad item is the AB cream, it's a great size so I'll use it for a weekend away but I'm sick of the site of AB
Hopefully I won't get another this advent 😂

I was missing the perfume from the last box and they sent me a whole new box.

cuticle Oil definitely after polish, soak and trim cuticles before polish.

Facial oil at the end? I'm doing it wrong, serum, oil, and moisture to lock if all in was my thoughts?!

Happy to have cuticle oil, mirror is cute, face mask.... I'll stick in the bathroom cabinet with all the others and forget to use.... perfume smells like talcum powder and tobacco- jury is out. At first I was 🤮 but now I keep smelling my wrist and thinking hmmm maybe it's not so bad. I also thought it might be a Liberty perfume so a bit disappointing!
AB moisturiser = same as Nivea to me. It'll do for a night away moisturiser but I'm not a fan.

@WeAreBorg glad that you asked because I thought the same as you!

@Toomanylosthours I still can’t get my head around facial oil at the end.

I tried the AB oil which I like (haven’t tried previously) but I’ve either got a massive face or I didn’t use enough. I couldn’t apply it as instructed from one blob. It is quite a small tube or I have a massive moon face and am tight on the application

I needed a mirror so it's perfect, perfume will do for forthcoming holiday

Completely agree! I kept searching....

@WeAreBorg cuticle oil definitely goes on after the polish (I use it every night before bed, too) as it will interfere with the polish's ability to adhere to the nail otherwise 😊

God I hated the topnotes of the perfume in the box, but as it settled I liked it a lot more. Really annoyed with the notes about the perfume tho - just fluff, no top/mid/basenote explanation (I'm a perfume nerd). They clearly know how to do this as they did it for the Liberty perfumes leaflet included inside!
