My Little Box June Edition - The French Riviera Box

I wrote last month about how I was a little disappointed with the Provence box in terms of the items that were included. I decided to give My Little Box another go as I really like the concept. I used a discount code to get free p+p (I think the current one is SPRINGTIME) making the cost £11.

This month's box was a vast improvement on the Provence box!




Inside the box is the free magazine, a Kanako print, a beauty bag, a box of sunglasses and two storage bags. The products are influenced by this month's featured designer, Sarah Lanvoine. 


These sunglasses are stylish and great for summer (should the sunshine last!). Includes cleaning cloth.



These storage bags are beautifully designed and sturdy as well. On the pack, it implies it can store plants and flowers, as well as make up and other bits and bobs.



We also have the Kanako print, which is cute, and the fold out magazine, which includes more information about this month's products, beauty tips and an interview with Sarah Lanvoine.


In my opinion, the beauty bag is a lot better than last month's. I felt that the products were quite small and had already been given free in another promotion by L'Occitane which was disappointing. This month are three full size products.


First is the Sea Salt Fresh Scrub by My Little Beauty (RRP £8.50). This contains Geurande sea salt cristals and Ajonc water to exfoliate the skin to get it summer ready.


I am quite excited to see a hair product this time. This is Nectar Thermique from Kerastase (RRP £19.50) which makes dull hair look more lively and softer. As someone who blowdries their hair quite a lot, this product is perfect for me. I can't wait to try this one.




The last item in this month's beauty bag is a nail polish from Loved by Sarah Lavoine (RRP £6.50). The colour is nice, and will make a good addition to my ever-growing collection of nail polishes.

Overall, the French Riviera box made me smile. If My Little Box continues to do boxes like this, or even better, I will be happy to subscribe.

Update: last month, I had an issue with the shower gel leaking in my box. I contacted My Little Box, and although it took quite a while for them to respond, they offered to send me a replacement and a new bag. Fantastic!

My Little Box May 2015: The Provence Box

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 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 i...

Edinburgh - Eteaket Tea Room and Ibis Hotel

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Luckily for us, the sun was shining as we made our way to the Eteaket tea room on Frederick Street. Eteaket is famed for its teas, and they supply many local restaurants and other cafes. The tea room itself is quite spacious and full of customers, which shows how popular it is. As well as teas, light lunches and afternoon teas are also on the menu; something to suit any occasion. I opted for a high tea, with Royal Earl Grey tea. The high tea is priced at £8.45 and includes half a sandwich of your choice (I had Scottish Ham and Cheddar Cheese), scone (fruit or plain) and a mini cake (I think I had lemon cake). Tea is also included. Eteaket uses loose leaf tea, good quality and better tasting. The waitress also brough a mini timer. When the sands run out, the tea has brewed for long enough and is ready to drink after you remove the filter. What a beautiful cup of tea! The food was tasty and filling too, making it a great value high tea...

Molang!

Recently, I have discovered Molang: a cute fat rabbit from Korea! In Korea, you can get a lot of Molang merchandise, but it is also possible to find some online to deliver to the UK. I have started a mini-collection already haha! Far left is my Molang suction doll, about 13cm. On the back, there is a suction cup, so you can stick him to the window if you wanted to. Far right is my big Molang doll. This is a 25cm plush doll, with a big cute pink bow! The Molang Figure Doll Boxset contains five 3cm Molang figures. This one is the macaroon collection, and all five Molangs are holding macaroons. They like to eat macaroons. Next is the Molang zipped bag. This is about 20cm in length, perfect for make up or small documents. This is the strawberry version, and also contains a Molang charm on the zip! So happy!
