I popped my Beauty Box cherry last month with SheSaidBeauty. I was completely in love with the whole concept; you do an online beauty profile and they send you samples that are catered specifically for you. I loved the box last month so I was really looking forward to finding out what products they were going to send me this month. Disappointed is not the word - after seeing the contents of the box I immediately logged onto their website and unsubscribed. I'm getting really mad just typing this out - ARGH!
I got a Sun Lotion (Green People) which retails for £17.95, it has got SPF 15 and accelerates your tan by 25%. Erm, I'm Asian, I have a permanent tan, why are you giving me this? I told you in the beauty profile the colour of skin. And, have you seen the weather? I thought it may be a good product for people who need protection in the sun and actually want a tan, but after reading the feedback reviews on this product on the site I can tell you that no one is particularly impressed with it.
I got soap. I got SOAP?! It retails at £8.50...for SOAP?! It is a hefty size but it is nothing special...it is soap. Natio is also a cosmetic company, I would have preferred to try some make up than soap.
Some eyelashes. They retail at £6. They are okay.
Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew! I hate Kim Kardashian with a passion, and I hate this perfume even more. It smells so bad. It's sort of musky and really heavy. Why would you do this to me?! I would actually just like to point out that I don't hate this perfume because I hate Kim Kardashian, I mean I don't like Justin Beiber but I think his perfume is okay.
I was looking forward to trying this lip whip by Inika. They do cosmetics that are vegan and halal friendly and free of animal cruelty. These retail at £14.30 and I think they are the biggest rip off's in the world. It has a gloopy consistency, it left my lips greasy, it smells gross and it tastes awful.
I also got some Snowberry samples of their skincare range. The samples were too small, they had a horrible consistency and they smelt awful!
Is anyone else subscribed to SheSaysBeauty?
What were your thoughts?
What box would you recommend?
I always umm and ahh about what box to subscribe to and I still haven't! I'm quite glad though as there hasn't been a single box I've loved!

This month's Glossy Box looks like a good one to check out because it's their first birthday ~ so it should be a good one.
DeleteWhat a disappointment! I've never signed up to any as I don't like the risk of wasting money on rubbish or things I'll never use, which I sometimes regret when I see some really good boxes, you've definitely confirmed my decision though xxx
ReplyDeleteThey are a bit hit and miss :(
DeleteThat's not a great box admittedly but isn't awful. I'd be disappointing too. This months She said box was wicked though.
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends what kind of products you like getting in these boxes. I was very disappointed.
