Beauty Box

It's 2014!

It's also been a long time since I have last posted anything.

So I have been hearing this rave about 'beauty boxes' where you can get a box sent to you with up to 5 beauty products which are from 'luxury' or 'boutique' brands - brands that we have not heard about before - brands that are quality. Since it was a new year I thought I'd opt for a fresh start were I am able to order a fresh beauty box. So I ordered my first from Glossybox - the first Jan 2014 box was very disappointing interims of the products; products that were not luxury or boutique, they were brands that we have heard before and unflattering. Apart from the disappointment the presentation was lovely it came in a good quality box, ribbon etc. I wanted to give Glossybox another chance to see if they improve, so I waited for my Feb 2014 box to arrive. Surprisingly the Feb 2014 box improved a little but it could do better. Brands are still brands that we have heard of and some item I wouldn't even use but I felt like I was forced to use it just to get some wear out of it. At the moment I am waiting for my March 2014 box. On the side I have ordered my first Birchbox which is another company that does beauty boxes which is created in America. So this month I will be comparing and contrast both of these boxes. And I will be cancelling one box this month if it does not improve any further for any of these brands. I will admit having these boxes can make us girls feel good by having a beauty present every month, hence we all use beauty product and perfect for those beauty junkies out there. However we don't know what kind of products we will receive which is the downfall and we wouldn't know how much the products cost in total before hand. Although I do think some beauty products are quite flimsy interims of small samples and samples that you can get yourself on-line or on the counter. I know beauty box companies are looking at there budget but honestly they need to look into buying risks and maybe spend a little more to improve there products for full size items. On my next post about beauty boxes I will be showing you the difference between Birchbox and Glossybox receiving it on the same month March.
