My Little Box Energy Box Review

New Year, New Start. What's your new year's resolution? For many of us it's to loose weight or get toned. January's My Little Box is the perfect weight loss/get toned companion to this resolution. 

This month, My Little Box focuses on fitness and beauty. I recieved 3 beauty products and 2 fitness themed items.   

Let's start with accessories. First one is the My Little Sports Bag, retails for £20 at My Little Box's shop. It's a cute gym bag with a feel good message. The material is a bit thin but looks durable, perfect bag to put all your gym essentials in. 

 

The next item is the My Little Box Calendar which retails for £10 at My Little Box's shop. Not only will this calendar tell you what day and date it is, it will help stimulate your mind with tips on how to stay energised throughout the year. It also features a Sudoku page, insipiring quotes, beautiful illustrations and horoscopes. 

 

Now onto the Beauty products. The first one is a bottle of nail varnish in Tate Red from Nails Inc London which retails for £11. I love Nails Inc, I just don't love the price. Tate Red is such a 

classic, timeless and elegant colour. 

 

The next item is the Photo-Hydra Day Cream by  Talika. This product retails for £43.50 for 50ml. I can't really say anything  about this item because I haven't tried it yet. I've got 8 tubs of cream to go through and review. I will let you guys know if it's any good next time.

 

   

The last item is My Little Beauty's Energising Mist which retails for £7.50. I love this mist because it's packed with vitamin C, green tea and antioxidants. I use it when my skin needs a little boost especially when I'm at work where it's really hot and dry. A couple of spritz and my skin feels refreshed. 

    

A good way to start the New Year. I don't get anything from this but if you're interested in subscribing you can go directly to My Little Box's site (https://www.mylittlebox.co.uk) to get your first box. Remember it's £11 per box plus £3.95 shipping.

My Little Box by Fleur de Force

I know it's really late for this December My Little Box review but as the saying goes, it's better late than never. Here we go, December My Little Box in collaboration with YouTube star Fleur de Force. 

I didn't enjoy this box as much as I did the previous ones because half the accessories that came with it went to other people. Don't get me wrong, this box was useful and it was perfect for christmas but I would rather keep the stuff to myself thank you very much.

Everyone got a set of fancy masking tape, a roll of black and white gift wrapping string and a pack of fancy gift tags. The masking tape were perfect as I've run out of washi tape over the holiday season. 

I have misplaced my headband/ear warmer that's why I have no individual photo of it. I got the peachy coloured one. It has hints of gold and it looks lush. I don't recommend it an ear warmer if it's too cold, it simply cannot replace a hat during those cold winter months. If you're staying indoors and want to look stylish, it's perfect.

COWSHED Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion 100ml 

This item retails for £18 and it's perfect for the cold weather. It's packed with natural ingredients, like shea butter to help hydrate and moisturise the skin. This body lotion has a hint of lemongrass and ginger and it smells refreshing.

L'OCCITANE Creme Precieuse Immortelle 

This item retails for £45 for 50 ml and it's another winter must have. It has triple action to help the skin appear younger, firmer and smoother. How I wish my box came with a full size one but I'm still happy I was able to try this Creme out. 

MY LITTLE BOX My Little Beauty Lipstick 

This lipstick is from My Little Box's own brand, My Little Beauty and is available on My Little Corner for £15. It's not available to ship to the UK yet but My Little Box has said they are hoping to ship here soon. I wasn't really impressed with the colour to be honest. It looked very pink but once applied, it just looked like a lip balm. 

I would rate this box 7/10, not bad but not as good as the other My Little Box's that I've received. This subscription service is still better than most out there and if you want to know how to subscribe, visit their page HERE.

My Last Birchbox

If you have been following my blog, you would know that I have recently stopped my Birchbox subscription because I don't like the idea of receiving tiny samples anymore. This article is all about my last Birchbox which I received in December 2014.

Birchbox has teamed up with Sophia Webster for this months' box. I must admit, the December box looks amazing especially with the free, stylish coin purse. 

The first item is the ESLOR Firming Collagen Day Cream 10 ml 

This anti-ageing cream is made from hydrolysed marine collagen and other nutrient-rich botanicals to help lock in the moisture and improve the skin's elasticity.  The best thing with this product is that it's made without any parabens. It's quite thick and smells like a bar of soap. 

VASANTI Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvinator 20g. This exfoliating cleanser is enriched with Papaya, Aloe and Micro-crystals to help get rid dead skin. This reminds me of the Neutrogena exfoliating cleanser, same micro-crystals but Vasanti smells a lot nicer.

ELECTRIC Hydrate Shampoo 30 ml. This nourishing and revitalising hair bath helps to hydrate dry and stressed out hair. Make sure you massage it onto your scalp and root area. The only thing I don't like about this shampoo is that it's too small a sample for my hair - my hair is about 105 cm long. I know, I know, it's really long so I need a lot of product to keep it healthy.

MODELS OWN Nail Varnish 14 ml.  This is the first time (correct me if I'm wrong) that Birchbox has offered subscribers to 'customise' the contents of their box. I picked this colour because I don't really fancy the other colours. I had to use a black base coat for this to work as I don't really fancy a slightly black, glittery nail varnish.

EYEKO Fat Eye Stick 4g. This item is perfect for creating that smokey effect.  The only problem I have with this eye stick is that it's not waterproof and it does not stay on for a long time.

BENEFIT High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer. It came inside a cute benefit christmas cracker. What is it? It's basically a highlighter, and a really good one at that. Just a small amount on the right areas can make a huge difference with your look.

It's been 2 months since my last Birchbox and I can tell you that I'm not really missing it. I look at the spoilers, unboxing, reviews and I'm happy with my decision to cancel my subscription.
