I saw adverts for My Little Box on Facebook, checked out its website, and gave it a go! For £11 a month and £3.95 P + P (although I used the SPRINGTIME code to gain free postage for the first box), you receive a box containing beauty samples and products, a magazine, a print and lifestyle items too.
I received my first box a few days ago, and was it worth the wait? I am not too sure. First of all, here is the box...
Included is a drawstring canvas bag containing the beauty products, a box entitled "Sunny things inside" and the print, dress-up doll magnets and the magazine tied up with a ribbon.
One of the beauty products, the shower gel, was already open and had leaked inside the bag, which was annoying.
The next box is quite curious. Inside is a customisable gold cuff, which you can decorate with coloured thread. Again this is a nice idea, although I wonder if this makes the box good value. On the website (www.mylittlebox.co.uk), it claims that the content of the box is worth £65, but I don't think the cuff is that expensive looking.

The beauty products are actually small samples, showcasing the best of L'Occitane, a well known and good quality brand. However, most of these products have been given away as a free gift from L'Occitane themselves. You can already get it free, which makes me question the value of the box. Also included is My Little Beauty's eyeshadow crayon.
The dress-up dolls magnets are a nice idea; they remind me of the paper dress-up dolls I used to have as a child, but at this age? It is not something I really need...The print is quite nice - the illustrations are beautiful. The magazine is not really much of a magazine - it folds out into a poster as shown below. It contains information about the products in this month's box, interview and tutorials.

I am a little disappointed with the box - I feel you don't get a lot for what you pay for. The shower gel incident, and the products included left me feeling sad. Having looked at photos of past boxes , which included DvF scarves, smartphone cases, t-shirts and bags, this month's box kind of pales in comparison. I do like the idea of My Little Box, but not the box itself. I would like to give next month's box another go but if it is as poor as this month's, I will be unsubscribing.
