She Said Beauty Box - April

Monday 2 April 2012

After the anticipation and excitement of the launch of She Said Beauty there were some mixed reviews in the blogosphere about their first box. Personally...as you probably read my first impressions of the box were good but as I started to test and use the product I became a little disappointed for two reasons.

1. The sample sizes of the Aveda haircare products were quite small so I only got one use from them. Not enough to test the product out thoroughly
2. The inclusion of the Collection 2000 (or Collection as they are now know since rebranding) lip cream. She Said say their box is filled with top brands however Collection 2000 is definitely not a top end brand and is more budget therefore I don't think it was an appropriate product to include in the box.

Despite this I was happy with the range of products contained within the box...the Orly Nail polish and added bonus of the nail file (which is awesome!), the We Are Faux lashes look great and have converted me a little. Overall, I think the first box was ok but She Said have some work to do to compete with the other beauty boxes out there! Oh you may also have heard that Carmine has gone to beauty box heaven and guess what?! Carmine's Product Buying Director has moved to She Said!! Hopefully this will mean that in the future we can get some great brands like the Balm and Claudie!

So anyways...lets move on to the bit you have been waiting for! Whats in the April box!!

My first impressions is that this is a great box! Again it has good balance of makeup and skincare and although samples are not more than 10ml I'm really pleased because this box contains a lot more product than the previous one! I am super excited to the try out the Erno Laszlo collection as there as been quite a bit of buzz about it! What do you think about it??

    1. I actually got this box free because I had a few people sign up with my link but otherwise I think I would have cancelled after the first too. I was super excited when I saw the EL too! :-)

    1. hi sarah! What do you like best from the box so far? I kinda guestimated how much there was based on the comfort zone samples...Im not too sure if those EL prices are correct though. I took them from the card She Said provided in the box but I noticed that the US website has the same price but in $ so I think when they hit the UK market it will be a little less.

  4. Glossy box was supposed to debut in Indian market 2 months back... for my tiny makeup budget I feel these boxes are overpriced(in Indian rupee)

    1. Glossybox was so unprofessional in the way they behaved in India, I doubt they will have a big reception when they try to enter the indian market again. I know what you mean about the price...I guess its relative...here you would be lucky to purchase two drugstore cosmetics for the same cost a beauty box...maybe its different in india?
