I was signed up to Beauty Drop as soon as I could as you had to sign up to wait list. Can’t remember when my first box was. I unsigned last autumn as the boxes seemed like filler clearance items. I think the best box was still the very first one with the bag, I was sorry to miss out on that. It seems like they had a settling in after raising price to £25 and crediting only £20. I signed up again for the advent calendar and really happy with the July box. I think I’ll continue, but if the October box is disappointing I’ll cancel again. I’ll use the credit at Christmas and in sales. I’ll be judging the boxes by whether I’d pay £15 for them and if I get £15 of use.
I’ve removed items from my drawers of doom and the calendar is in the cupboard ready to be forgotten about and I am excited about the opening threads in December! I’ve asked DH to fill the empty drawers with something from their beauty hall, he knows my fav brands and they’re really good in store at recommending shades if he shows a photo of me. I have terrible eyesight and the numbers are hard to read on the doors so I won’t know which day is an alternative.
@SoloCat i might do, I think I am approaching candles wrong, they’re different to bath oils or body moisturisers. I tried one of this year’s advent candles whilst I was in bath and didn’t think much, I couldn’t smell it over my face mask, though it was a lot better than Herlum Comfortable Silence. I am now lighting one whilst my toddler bathes and then it has set the ambience for my one whilst I remove makeup. I went somewhere posh last weekend where you walked in and their candle just set the mood. I just can’t see myself leaving a candle burning whilst in post partum haze with newborn and toddler though. I’ve been waking 5 times in the night recently so been using the pillow mist, really helps me meditate and breathe back to sleep quickly each time. Still VERY pregnant here. Having a daily bath.
Do you think we’ll get a good September beauty kit? I’m looking forward to hopefully a skin edit and a bath and body care edit. Usually you’d get a good autumn one but maybe they’re all focused on AC advertising now - which I’m done with. Liberty usually do a woo one in October with crystals. Cult Beauty have teased and opened a wait list for Skintellectuals edit and CBxSali Hughes edit, hope Liberty do similar. Though I won’t be interested in Skin Rocks/Caroline Hirons.
