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.

First time blogger.. Testing

There's a new blogger in town, an asian girl in London documenting the bliss that comes with unboxing subscription boxes and anything girly.

Birchbox is my first subscription box and certainly not my last. Since then, I have subscribed to 2 more monthly boxes (you beauty box and my little box), 1 bi-monthly box (for my cats), lib, memebox and all boxed up.

I was scanning my fb newsfeed when I came across an advert for a new subscription box.  My Little Box... Mmmmm a little piece of Paris in a box.  I was curious to see what they have to offer so I paid £11 + £3.95 P&P and I waited, and waited, and waited a bit more.  After more than 3 weeks, the postman knocked on my door with a biggish box addressed to me.  I was ecstatic! I wanted to open the parcel asap but I had to control myself.  I wanted to take photos and share my experience with you.
                                                         
My Little Parisienne Box

My Little Box was well worth the wait.  This subscription box is totally different from all the boxes I receive.  My Little Box have put so much effort on the presentation that I didn't want to mess it up but still I wanted to see more (go to gallery for more unboxing photos). My Little Parisienne Box had full size  Laura Mercier foundation primer, Nuxe Dry Oil, My Little Box's own Stylo Lumiere, Parisienne inspired laptop sleeve, stickers, notebook and illustration. 

This subscription box from Paris has definitely raised the bar when it comes to boxes.  I just hope UK based subscription will try and improve the quality of  their boxes as international ones like My Little Box and Memebox are giving subcribers value for their money.  What do you think?
