My Little French Riviera Box
Sunday, June 21, 2015
The June edition of the My Little Box was late this time round due to a production problem but in my opinion it was well worth the wait. The theme for this months box is the French riviera and the box design and products are making me wish I was going abroad this year *cries*
There are three beauty products and two lifestyle items in this months box as well as the usual magazine, drawstring bag (which are super cute and useful) and print. The boxes themselves are also useful and great for storage. The boxes I believe are £14.95 per month including postage and packaging and although it is a little more expensive than other subscription boxes, it is definitely the best, in my opinion.
For the lifestyle items, I received a pair gorgeous matte purple sunglasses which were designed in collaboration with My Little Box and Sarah Lavoine who is an interior designer. I love the retro, unique design and the matte finish! The second lifestyle items are plant pot covers which is a really unique idea - I haven't seen anything like this before. There are two sizes, one larger and the other is really quite small. I love the summery, nautical design.
Now onto the beauty items, the first is a gorgeous nail polish which is again a collaboration between My Little Box and Sarah Lavoine. It is in the shade 501, it's a gorgeous deep teal. It has a thin brush which is my only complaint as it is a little difficult to apply but on the whole it's a really nice polish. I will have a photo of the polish on my nails on my instagram (heathernixon4) later today. Next up, the My Little Beauty Sailor Scrub which is a sea salt scrub in the most adorable packaging - it has little anchors on it! Last but not least, I received the Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique Resurfacing Strengthening Hair Milk which I cannot wait to try.
Overall, I am very happy with everything in this months box and the theme/design is making me want to go on holiday. I will definitely get use out of all of the items. It isn't my favourite My Little Box (that would be the dream box) but it's a lovely summery box.

My Little Provence Box
Saturday, May 16, 2015
My Little Box is a french beauty and lifestyle subscription box which I have been subscribed to for a least five months and I have loved almost all of the boxes. Last months 'my little dream box' was the best yet and this one is pretty good too.
The theme for this box is Provence which just reminds me of sunny french summers and lavender but there isn't anything lavender themed or scented in this box which I thought was quite unusual! However there are two lifestyle items, five beauty items and the magazine and print as well.
Firstly, the lifestyle products. The first is a magnetic doll which has numerous clothing pieces and accessories to put on her which I think is a cute idea, especially if you have children although it was difficult to remove all of the magnetic items from the sheet - she is now on our fridge but I'm sure al of the pieces will become lost soon. The second lifestyle item is a DIY bracelet which is such a fun, unique idea and I think I will be giving this to one of my friends who will love it. The bracelet is a cuff style bracelet, it is gold and it comes with thread that you can create a pattern with in the holds in the bracelet!
Now onto the beauty pieces, all but one are from one of my favourite french brands - L'Occitane which is such a good deal as L'Occitane products are on the pricy side so to have four travel sizes in a beauty box is amazing, in my opinion. You get two verbena products (a soap and a body lotion) which I will be giving to my dad as he loves the scent, a rose hand cream which my mum will be happy to receive and the mer and mistral shower gel which smells incredible and I will definitely be keeping it for myself! The fifth and final beauty item is a bronzy eyeshadow stick from the my little boxes own beauty line.
Overall, a very nice box with some cute lifestyle items and amazing L'Occitane travel sizes which would be great for holidays. I think the inclusion of the L'Occitane items makes this box even more great value for money although I did love last months box more. I can't wait to see what next months box will contain!
