LuxBox mark Deux

So, apologies for the delay in a new post, I was hollibobbing with the fam!

On the day of my return, I had me my second LuxBox delivered!

I had practically forgotten about it....I shall proceed with the contents tout suite....

Inside we have 

Mocha Rose Lip Balm full size at £7 a pop,

Flick Tips - £8.99

Di Palomo Orange Blossom with Wild Honey and Olive  Hand and Nail cream (25ml) which is £6.50 for 75ml

Papier Poudre - Powder paper £7.20 for three booklets (of which there is about 25sheets)  

Murad ExfoliatingCleanser  £34 for 200ml on the feelunique website. This is 30ml

Now, I like this box, to some, this may not be exciting, but I have not EVER used any of these products. Which is what its all about...!

I will get back to you how each fair up. I'm not holding out on the oil paper because I don't get oily skin really....but other than that. YAY.

The eye flicks are intriguing! I love my winged liner, and if this saves me stressing out on getting them even, or even looking for some added drama to my eyes then WAHOO!

On a side note, I cancelled my June box for now (funds are tight....but I know I'll re sub later!) and I tweeted and emailed LuxBox on Tuesday (the Jubilee Bank Holiday) and I was responded to in mere minutes! They where super kind, friendly, and sorted it out almost immediately!

So BRAVO LuxBox, your customer services has been wonderful. The box did its job, and I look forward to the next!!!

Have you had LuxBox??

The Very First Lux Box

Well, here we have it the long awaited LuxBox!

After initially being told we would have it by the weekend, postie arrived some time Monday afternoon with my long awaited box!

The only reason I bought this was it was the FIRST box, which they should really be trying to impress with. and because they where offering a discount.

I actually bought two, but I have recently befriended a lovely french lady who has agreed to swap this box for La Boite à Beauté! An organic beauty box from France! (watch this space for the big reveal!)

So here we go....!

Standard Beauty Box packaging really...

.

I like that the inside of the box is black, but again. no real changes or differences to others!

TADA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inside we have:

2x1g BM Beauty Eyeshadow Pigments in 'Her Majesty' and 'Wolf Howl'

Eldora Lashes in H101 - I have 5 diff Eldora lashes...

Steam Cream - love this stuff...just like LUSH dream cream YUMMERS

Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream - love an eye cream

MOA The Green Balm - The 'Miricalous' Balm

So - 6 items, 2 full size (not that theres sample lashes I'm sure) pretty good your thinking....?!

Well...here's the killer.....

Apart from the Wonder Eye Cream, ALL these items have been in other boxes.

Now, I personally don't find it too much of a problem as I will use them ALL, however, that's probably because I have already had them, and know I like them.

So I haven't really tried anything new here.

The Eye Cream, I haven't specifically tried this cream but the Balance Me range has been featured in other boxes.

A lot of people like the items, and were upset when Carmine failed to let us all have the Steam Cream, so this should please some.

I think they have done well to get so many different variations of colours of the shadow...seems to be quite a few about and its also nice to have two..so you can create a look rather than plastering one colour...

Lashes where quite dramatic and definitely wont be to every ones tastes.
The rest is very easy going stuff. I'd say 6/10 for you  LuxBox!

All in all, though I am happy with the contents as I've just replenished stocks of items I'd have bought anyways, its a shame there wasn't really anything actually NEW......I wonder what next month with bring.....
I really hope my French counterpart likes it!

Did you get a LuxBox? What do you think?!
