June 'My Little Box' Unboxing





Of the four boxes that I have received, I think this may be my favorite, which is such a relief after the disappointment of last month's Provence Box. I love the idea of a holiday in the French Riviera and I just love the turquoise and blue tones in the box, the products themselves are also lovely, though I do usually get caught up in the packaging and presentation.
The rather strange thing this month was the Foldable Plant Pots that came in the box, they have pretty designs printed on them but are altogether rather random, not that I'm complaining because my succulent Friedrich (I like to name things okay? Okay.) needed a new home as he was currently living on my desk in a red christmas plant pot. The larger one I'm using as storage to organise all my body lotions, face masks and scrubs etc in  my bathroom. By organise I of course mean that I just plonked them all in there.
The second lifestyle product which I absolutely adore are the Sarah Lavoine Sunglasses. Unfortunately My sister also took a liking to them and I actually had to steal them back from her in order to take these photos! Though I guess I probably should let her have them since I already have like 5 pairs of sunglasses. They look black in these photos but they have a purplish brown tinge to them and the shape of them is just so pretty.
The first beauty product was a Loved by Sarah Lavoine Nail Polish in a beautiful dark blue turquoise colour, it's opaque in one stroke and lasts without chipping for a few days.
From there in-house beauty range I received the My Little Beauty Sea Salt Body Scrub which smells like the sea and makes your skin feel so soft. As a sidenote it also tastes like the sea, don't ask how I know.
When I saw the Loreal Keratase Keratine Thermique Hair Milk I was a little upset because I got a Keratase product in the first box and it was a very disappointing conditioner. It did nothing for my hair but make it feel weird, however I have been putting this on my hair whilst its damp and then waiting till it's dry to straighten it and its feeling and looking quite healthy for now, so we'll see.
The My Little World Magazine was lacking the usual nail tutorial which was disappointing and the rest was pretty average as usual. Once again it was a fold out poster this time adorned with pictures of a woman frolicking on the beach making me insanely jealous. 

So although that look a bit of a turn at the end, I was really pleased with this box overall. Of all the subscription boxes I've looked into, this definitely seems to be the most consistently interesting and useful one about.

June Favourites

1. L'oreal Telescopic Mascara- Definitely one of my all time favourite mascaras.
2. Heros Of Olympus Books- Finally got round to reading the second one and am loving it.
3. Vaseline- My lips have been so chapped at the moment and I tried using my Maybelline Baby Lips but they are seriously the most over-hyped product ever and I think that they are practically useless. So anyway I decided to try out the old classic and it has been working great especially since I have been flying.
4. Fringe Kimono-My current favourite piece of clothing, its the perfect summer piece and its so easy to just throw on and you instantly win in the style stakes. 
5. Metcalfe's Skinny Topcorn- I saw this featured on A Yellow Brick Blog a couple weeks ago and really wanted to try it and I have to say it is delicious! I seriously can't believe how nice it tastes considering how few calories it has in it.
6. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation- My favourite foundation to date , it matches my skin tone well, is light but gives good coverage and looks dewy but not oily on my skin as most foundations do. I also got it for £6 at the Birmingham Rag Market rather than £11 in Boots so I was very happy!
7. Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturiser-I have been using this for a while now, I've gone through 2 tubes of it and it's really helping to make my skin look less oily.
8. Benefit Porefessional Primer- I recently brought Elle magazine because this primer came free with it, I was very disappointed with the mag but definitely not with the primer. It lived up to all my expectations.
