So I've been looking at monthly subscription boxes for a few years now, I think the concept is so exciting, getting sent a bunch of surprise products each month to try, all at a greatly reduced price usually.The main reason I've never signed up for one before is because I've never found one that I thought was really good value for money and had interesting products in it. Cue My Little Box, the thing that first interested me in this box was the gorgeous illustrations on it, I think it's great that everything is linked together through the illustrations. I also loved the fact that rather than just getting beauty products you also get a lifestyle product or two each month. But I think the most convincing factor was that their partner brands are so good, for example L'oreal, Carmex, Nyx, Essie, Elizabeth Arden and Bourjois. So I took the plunge and waited 2 weeks for my box to arrive, I tried to avoid spoilers but I couldn't resist checking the instagram tags (Oops), and I have to say I was rather pleased.
In the box I received a Wonder Woman themed sticker sheet, the magazine which comes with every box, a rather cute 'I believe I can fly' T-Shirt, a L'oreal kerastase conditioner, a Caudalie Paris hand cream and a lip and cheek stick form my little beauty. The sticker sheet isn't amazing, but I'll probs stick them on my school journal as they're quite motivational which I always need at school :) The T-Shirt I like and will wear and the magazine I found to be rather interesting. I thought it was gonna be really boring but I actually found it very interesting I especially liked the Philol Article and the quotes pages. Moving onto the products, the conditioner I have used once and found it to be disappointingly average, but I'll keep using it and see if my opinion changes. The hand cream smells absolutely amazing and makes my hands feel lovely and soft but no more or less so then any other hand cream I've used. And finally the lip and cheek stick, I'm not really a great believer of multi use products, I'd much rather have two good products then one sub-par one. and whilst I love the colour of this as a blush the formula is absolutely useless as a lipstick.
So there we go, that's my opinion on everything. Whilst it doesn't sound like I'm very pleased with the box overall I actually am and I'm very excited to see what I receive next month.
PS you can use the promo code FIRSTBOX to get your first box for £11 instead of £14.95
