After last months box I had high hopes for Septembers offering and whilst its certainly better its just all a bit meh! I don't want to sound like a snob BUT!!! Collection 2000?? I just don't identify with this brand, the primer is ok, the fixer smells rank and in all honesty I have better quality products to do both of those jobs.
The DHC oil I already have and also received the same sample in Augusts Glossybox so I'm happy to have it but its a bit of a bore to get the same samples across the boxes.
The Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel and Amie spring clean cooling clay mask are two products I am looking forward to using especially the mask so those were my favourite samples from this month.
The Popchips were ok but a bit of a strange thing to have in a beauty box however they were a bonus item so can't grumble.
After rooting through my box I sat back and then looked back at my other boxes from she said beauty and came to a conclusion. This box would have impressed me about 10 years ago, the products in it are affordable and this month for example was a really good month for skincare three of the samples I loved but the collection 2000 products just really leave me cold.
I'm at the stage now where I will happily spend good money on good products and especially with Skincare and this box just isn't delivering those kind of products to me.
Sooooo!! I cancelled my subscription. Not because SheSaidBeauty is terrible far from it their delivery service and the customer care is amazing and GlossyBox could take notes on how to handle criticism and work PR from them. However its just not a good fit for me. The products don't excite me and don't make me want to rush out and buy whereas GlossyBox I get that at times and I just think their box is a little more grown up. So SheSaidBeauty is no more for me. I'm still mourning the loss of Carmine so I've now signed up for Joliebox as it seems to get good reviews and the products look to be more up my alley. Hopefully their September offering will be a good one!
I used the primer today and it didn't work on my oily skin, and the spray made my face shiny lol. The Ginvera I already have and its brilliant but as soon as you take a break blemishes come back if you have any. I did a review about the Ginvera on my blog, xoxo.
