Waat Beauty Box August 2013

6 comments

Yesterday, I received the Waat Beauty Box for the month of August. I was really looking forward to it and was curious to see what was inside. Well... I am not impressed...

The box itself is a really cute blue box with pink fillegree on it. The products are wrapped in tissue paper with a satin ribbon around it. I love the attention to detail with regards to the packing of the box. I just wish Waat would pay more attention to the content...


 

In my box I received the following products:

So...? Shop till u drop
Deodarant/body spray mini
(Waat says this is a full size, but it's 50ml, full size is 75ml)

Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex advanced cellular age defense, pore refining lotion.
Full size

Dove Visible effects body lotion
Mini

Rimmel nail polish in Cranberry Zest
Full size

Estee Lauder make up bag
Supposedly full size, but it's a really small bag
Not bad products, but not one that really catches my eye...
That's a shame, but always a risk when ordering a surprise box. But Waat claims to be a Beauty Box with new and innovating products and, in my opinion, none of these are.

My real issue with this box though,  is that there are different product options that make the value of the box significantly different. Instead of the Dove mini, you could received a Rimmel blush (full size) or an Astor blush (full size).

If this was the only difference, I would have been able to get over it, but no, Waat decided to include another product option. Instead of the mini make up bag, you could have receivde a full size Estee Lauder product, like a lipstick, lipgloss or a face cream . Waat claims the make up bag is a full size, but there is no way this tiny bag has the same value as a full size Estee Lauder product!

These two differences make for a very different box! If you're lucky, you get both full size products, but if you are really "lucky", like me, you get both mini versions.

This is not ok in my book, you can not give out boxes that vary so much in value to people who all have the same subscribtion. It's just not done!

It would have been a lot better if Waat had made sure every box had just one mini for one of the two options, not both. Badly done Waat, badly done...

I have send an email to Waat with this complaint and am eagerly awaiting their response. If this is not satisfactory, I will cancel my subscription.

Did you receive the Waat box?
What do you think about sending out different boxes?

August nail polish favorites

Oh boy, it's the end of August allready! This month just flew by! I just don't want summer to end, luckily I have a holiday coming up in September, so fingers crossed for nice weather!

This month I have been loving the last bit of summer and I took full advantage by painting my nails with summer polish like neons, brights and just really colorful polishes. But, of course, I have been rocking a few darker shades too. Especially at the end of the month, when the weather just hasn't been that nice here...

My favorites this month are:

OPI Alcatraz... Rocks (for review, click here)

Chanel Taboo (for review, click here)


Girly Bits Rogue (for review, click here)


China Glaze Surfin' for Boys (for review, click here)


Essie In the Cab-Ana (for review, click here)


OPI Solitaire (for review, click here)


Essie First Timer (review to come)


China Glaze Pelican Grey (for review, click here)


China Glaze Four leaf Clover (for review, click here)


And last, but certainly not least, OPI Vodka & Caviar (for review, click here)
