I’m sure you are well aware of what subscription boxes are. In the past I have been a Birchbox subscriber but after a year I decided to unsubscribe as I didn’t really see the point to it. I ended up receiving practically the same thing every month and I wasn’t really using-up any of the products. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy it in the beginning, thanks to Birchbox I discovered Rituals and have been in love with the brand ever since, but at the end I wasn’t really excited about receiving my monthly box.
My Little Box is quite similar to other beauty boxes, the unique thing about this one is its French vibe adding lifestyle products into the mix. I thought it was a nice concept and decided to give it a try.
The theme to January 2017 My Little Box is “Fresh Start”.
Who hasn’t thought about having a fresh start in January right?
This month’s box didn’t exactly come in a box, all the products came in this lovely maxi pouch which I love. I love the design and the size of the pouch, I can see myself using to store little bits and bobs.
What I was most excited about was receiving the Timeless planner. If you regularly read my blog you might know by know that I am just a bit planner/stationary obsessed. As the name suggests this is a un dated planner, it doesn’t have the days set up. Each page is a whole week and its designed for you to do a weekly to do list, set up your priorities and goals for the week. It also has inspiring quotes and sections were you can work on your mindfulness.
The box also come with a sample of the Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey Treasure hair mask. I have already tried this hair mask before, it’s a nice product, I wouldn’t say its my favourite hair mask but it is a great drugstore buy.
Sweet Hand Cream by My Little Beauty. My little box also has an in house brands and normally feature their products in their boxes. This hand cream has a really soft and fresh scent, it has a thick consistency and leaves your hands a bit sticky. I have to say I am not a massive fan of this hand cream.
Boost Yourself Body Cream, this is also by My Little Beauty. This product has a similar consistency as the hand cream. It has more of a flowery scent but besides that, the formula is really similar. Again this product isn’t for me, I honestly don’t think I will get much use out of it.
Mercy Handy Holy Mint Tooth Paste. This is the only product I haven’t tried yet but I will give a go. Its 98% natural and its made it Paris!
The Box also came with inspirational cards, with themes like “Unleash your inner creative genius” or “Train yourself to be Happy”. I like details like this, them make you stop and reflect about your life which is something that I don’t normally do but really want to make it into a habit.
The box also came with this cute little snood. I don't think I´ll get much wear out of it now as it is absolutely freezing, but I can definitely see myself wearing it through spring.
As a whole I really enjoyed Januarys My Little Box, can’t wait to see what Februarys edition will be like.
Are you into subscription boxes? If so, which ones have you tried?
