£240 (£120) is how much i would (have) wasted this year on Beauty Boxes & that's not including postage!
I remember when Beauty boxes first came onto the scene in 2011, There was such a buzz around them, i know i was gutted when i missed out on Glossy Boxes 1st ever box with it's full sized Nars product (marketing ploy) & other luxury brands, i did however get the next one, month after month i stuck with it some months receiving a good box & others a rubbish box.
Then Boudior Prive/Jolie box appeared, I joined up & got their 1st box, This box had promise containing brands I'd not heard of, it had really luxurious products samples of £100+ face creams from lots of expensive High end brands. it was great but again the great boxes became good boxes & have slowly got worse. But at least i was more happy than disappointed with these boxes.
I got Glossy boxes Birthday box & then cancelled my subscription as the boxes were getting progressively worse & the boxes are so unfair! Everyone paid the same but the value of the boxes differed massively some people getting boxes worth £40+ but others not even scraping back the £10 they'd spent!
I understand it is a sampling service but the companies are charging you for sachets of creams & tiny vials of perfume that anyone can pick up for free at a local department store, the tiny samples are also gone in one use, so you are unable to use a few times before you decide if you like it enough to buy the full size?!
I will be receiving my last Jolie box of the year anyday now & from the review i have seen it will be a let down, so i think my Beauty box days are over & i will save my money to spend on something i really want/need & will actually use, as my draws are fit to burst with samples of disgusting smelling perfumes or creams that aren't suitable for me!
I also tried She Said Beauty & Feel Unique but cancelled after one box.
I know i am not the only one who feels like this as Beauty Boxes Twitter & Facebook pages are full of complaints about the boxes, customer service, brands, products etc...
Have you had a good or bad experience with BB's?

I think i didn't cancel as i tried to convince myself the next one would contain something amazing & I'd miss out - How wrong was i!
