My Little Box | May 2015

This month's theme is Provence and the box design is just gorgeous! Once again, it took a little longer for me to get My Little Box in the post this month. A colleague of mine who signed up for them too got hers a week and a half before mine arrived. It's worth the wait though.

L'Occitane Mer & Mistral Shower Gel

This stuff smells so amazing. It's a fresh scent that just invokes the ocean in my mind. I'm really pleased with the size of the sample too. Definitely 4 or 5 showers worth in this bottle.

L'Occitane Roses et Reines Hand and Nail Cream

I've just finished the Caudalie Hand Cream sample I was working on so I was excited to see this. However, I really don't like the scent. There's something distinctly 'Grandma's Yardley' about it. The texture of the product is very thin so a little goes a long way. It definitely made my skin feel soft and nourished but I couldn't put up with the scent. 

L'Occitane Verbena Body Lotion

Now this is lovely. I'm pretty sure I've seen this before but I don't remember it smelling so good. It's like a peppery lemongrass and a wonderful quality. It is thin textured again so a little goes a long way. It sinks into my skin so I don't have to deal with that awful sticky feeling. Definitely a winner for me.

L'Occitane Verbena Leaf Soap

When I read the description on this from My Little Box, I was a bit skeptical. I've always associated soaps with drying and felt the last place I would put soap is my face. However, I can admit I was wrong. Not only does this soap have the incredible lemon scent of the body lotion, but it also exfoliates as well as moisturises. My skin felt smooth and hydrated afterwards. Who doesn't want that?

My Little Beauty Eyeshadow Crayon

I love this eyeshadow crayon! I swatched it as soon as I opened the box and have been impressed with it ever since. The colour is a metallic dark brown with a hint of gold shimmer. It goes on really creamy and blends effortlessly. Once it 'dries' it stays put. The swatch on my hand took 5 minutes to scrub off under a tap so this is definitely a long lasting product. The colour is perfect for my ghostly skin and blue eyes so I'm pleased.

My Little Box My Little Doll Magnets

This was a really cute idea but mine wasn't pre-cut well enough so when I tried to press out the dolly, I ended up taking off her legs. Still, it was a really cute bonus and just another added touch which sets My Little Box apart from the rest to me.

My Little Box Embroidery Cuff

Again, a really cute bonus touch. I'm loving the creative vibe of the beauty boxes this month. I don't wear cuffs myself as they fall off my deceptively un-chubby wrists too easily. That said, decorating it is a fun project and it would make a great gift for someone.

So once again, a really lovely box from My Little Box. It could still be my biased love for all things French but I genuinely adore receiving these boxes every month and have been recommending them to everyone. As always, if you're interested, check out the My Little Box website for more information and to subscribe to them. 

On a personal note, I've got a brand new camera so I'm hoping the images will be a better quality moving forward! I tested it out with this post so let me know what you guys think :-)
