Well, I finished my tax return a couple of hours ago (couldn't be more last-minute if I'd tried!), I've bathed and eaten and now I'm ready to reward myself so I'm after this box. Hope it's not going to be long. Can anyone remember if the last two boxes were presented on air? Is it likely to be on tomorrow, or is it only online or on the Beauty channel or something?
It's live now but I'm out - the sizes are tiny and whilst the total cost of the contents is more than £20, it's just not good value for me as the mystery full sizes just don't make up for the rest, which I either have a version of already or don't really want - disappointed

Totally jealous. Unfortunately they don't ship it to my country (I guess it is because of the nail polish)

they are web exclusive so will never go to air
You have made me re-think this and I thank you! I was feeling in need of a treat and the box is undoubtedly good value at £20 when the RRPs total 4-5 times that. However, like you say, I don't really need, or won't use, half of it, especially the colour cosmetics of which I have hundreds and don't even know if I'll like the colours. I have looked at the "value" (to me) of the things I really would like or might buy anyway (see below) and I'm struggling to make £20 in all honesty. I'm fed up of relying on eBay to offload the extras in this and other beauty boxes, in order to justify my past purchases - it's time-consuming and overall you only make a few quid here and there after fees and postage. I think I'm going to swerve this one after all.
This is brilliant, thank you! I think you've done what I do and worked out the costs pro rata so you've saved me a job there. But what I also do is look at the value to me - eg I wouldn't put the Mally shadow at £4 let alone £19.50 because I wouldn't use it so it's really only worth £0 to me. Being brutal here but I've got to get a grip. It's only my personal view and I'm sure a lot of people will consider it a no-brainer as you say. Hope you love it, lloyd.
AndiK, yes that's exactly how I feel (although bizarrely, if the Molton Brown shower gel had been 100ml, I probably would have succumbed). I knocked the You Beauty Box on the head for exactly the same reason - very good value, but I ended up with loads of little travel/sample sizes that I generally ended up giving away before they went off.
With this box, I actually already have a few of these items in travel sizes and given there is no guarantee of the colours we'll get for the full sizes, this just doesn't seem like a value purchase for me, but as Lloyd has shown, it is berluddy good value if you do fancy the products inside!
I am disappointed as the first few items revealed to be in the box made it look very attractive. It went downhill for me though. I've just had another good look at the list of contents and faltered a tiny bit but I think I've made my mind up. Love Molton Brown like you, but hate 50ml bottles in any make.

Thanks for this .... I had just ordered on auto pilot - but then read the recent comments and sanity has prevailed. Ido the NEED any of this ... yes a couple of things might be 'nice' but I really don't need anyone more 'stuff' I've got drawers full of unused stuff - so now cancelled my order
Thanks again !
Thanks again !

I am sure I will enjoy it, thank you AndiK.
I have a couple of other beauty boxes and when I have friends birthdays I e mail them with what I have and then they can choose things to try. Might seem an odd thing to do but it works for me, I have had great feedback from friends. At least if you break it down in price you can make an informed decision whether to buy or not.

I think that's a great idea - I tend to make up gift boxes for friends with what I think they'd like but that's a much better way of doing it!!!

So out of interest I had a look at the Elemis Gentle Cleansing Wash ingredients on their own site. It has lactic acid, I cannot use this ingredient I come out in lumps if I use it. So not gentle at all.
The Essie polish Candy Apple, is an old shade I know I bought it 5 or 6 years back. I own a few from the collection it came in, they should have given the lovely deep rose pink or even the even more pretty blue shade.
