Its a sad day for beauty boxes

We have been waiting for Carmine to make an "exciting announcement" their words, definitely not mine.

Well today they made the announcement that they have teamed up with Glossybox.

NOOOOOOOO! I love Carmine and am so disappointed with this announcement.  First Feel Unique now Carmine, my monthly beauty fix has gone from 5 boxes to 3 (I also get Joliebox, She Said Beauty and Glossybox). Carmine seemed to be the beauty box that contained the most make-up products and a big plus was that they sent all their customers the same items, which Glossybox don't and this causes upset on their FB page every month. 

I signed up to She Said Beauty for their first box at the beginning of this month, it was OK - nothing from the box really stood out for me (I also forgot I had subbed to this box and had to go back and update the number of boxes I get on the paragraph above!).  I have stayed subbed for the April box which I am now really glad I did, as they have announced that Carmines Product Director is now working for them - so I'm looking forward to seeing what they send us next week!

If you are interested in signing up to She Said Beauty please use my referral Link

I have loved every one of my Glossyboxes, especially the December box which was the best beauty box out of all the boxes I have received, I'm just sad that Carmine are no longer :(

What do you think about Carmine joining forces with Glossybox? Which boxes do you subscribe to?

    1. I know! Gutted. I do really like my glossyboxes every month, but I love carmine as they always seemed to have lots of make up so I got to try things that I might not have bought. Do you sub to any other boxes?

  3. I was really annoyed when I got that email, I didn't find it exciting seen as I already get Glossybox and I loved Carmine!

    1. Totally agree! Not exciting in the slightest, I thought they were going to announce a delay due to a new buyer or that the boxes would be late being sent out. Not for one iota did I think they would be blimin taken over by GB! Going to miss carmine :(
