You Can't Get Rid Of Me

song of the day - Compton by Game ft Will.I.Am

OK, so I'm a little late posting about the latest My Little Box, but for some reason I was just not inspired to edit these photos until last night. Which is odd because I do love the contents of this (cough last) months box. Maybe it's the heat. For those of you that don't know MLB is a monthly subscription service that mixes beauty, fashion and lifestyle in one box.

 This months theme is French Riviera, so there's a lot of blue going on. For the beauty bits this month there is a nail polish from Loved by Sarah Lavoine (shade number 501), which I haven't tried yet but I'm hoping is good. The shade reminds me of a more vibrant version of 501B from Lancome. There's also a Kerastase blow dry milk; I don't blow dry my hair often so this is getting donated to a friend. And finally a MLB own brand product, a sea salt scrub. It smells very calm and refreshing, and is great for exfoliating.

The fashion item this month is this pair of cute sunglasses by Sarah Lavoine. They are very lightweight so I'm afraid of them breaking in my bag, but they do look great on.

And finally there are two planters. They remind me of those paper hats we used to make when we were little. You can use them as storage pots, or to put plant pots in to make them a little more aesthetically pleasing.
This is going to be my last MLB for a while. I still love the boxes, but there are other things I could be the spending the £15 a month on. I might subscribe again in the future, but it won't be soon.

I Walked With You Once Upon A Dream

On Thursday my April MyLittleBox arrived. MLB is a monthly subscription service that mixes beauty, fashion and lifestyle in one box.

Every month the box has a different theme, and this months is Dreams. The illustrations that go with this months box has to be my favourite so far. They are just so cute.

There are always three beauty bits in the MLB's, they usually vary from box to box. First up this month is a Lip Balm Loved by Lou Lesage. It's a pretty tinted lip balm, nothing too exciting. 

Next up is the MLB own brand product, this time  a hair masque. This mask is a repairing mask for dry ends. Now, I don't have dry ends, so this product does not appeal to me in the slightest. I will definitely by donating this product to one of my friends.

And finally is the Invigorating body lotion from Cowshed. I've heard a lot about this brand, but I've never actually tried something from them. First of all this stuff smells amazing. It's so refreshing, I felt like I'd drank a nice cold virgin mojito after sniffing it. It feels great on the skin, makes me feel all soft. This has to be my favourite product from the box.

I love the stamp. You know that I want to put a stamp on everything now! My mum does card crafts, so I might let her have this, just to keep every blank space around me safe.

And finally is this little medallion. It came in the little cloud, which was such an adorable touch, you had to cut into the cloud to get the medallion out. I was so tempted to leave it be before I didn't want to cut the cloud. The medallion is sweet, but I'm not a fan of the cord that it's on. I'm either going to put it on a chain, or add it to a key ring.
I will admit that this is not my favourite box product-wise. Don't get me wrong, the products are lovely, but the usual wow factor just hasn't come up with this box.

It's Down To Me

song of the day - Under My Thumb by The Rolling Stones

More than a few subscription boxes have come (and gone) over the past few years, but none have ever really caught my eye. I bought 2 Glossyboxes when they first came out, but they were kind of underwhelming, so I just gave up on them. 

A few months ago I heard about MyLittleBox, a French subscription box that has a few makeup and lifestyle bits in it. I was intrigued to say the least. After umming and ahhing for a few months I decided to subscribe last month, and I have not been let down. Yet. I didn't write a post on last months box because I didn't receive it until late in the month, but I did post photos of the products I received on Instagram.

This months theme is Superheros, and the illustrations that go with the theme are so cute. In this months box the 2 lifestyle items are a tee (there are at least 2 designs available), and some stickers. I'm not sure what I'll do with the stickers, but the tee is so cute. It looks a little big for me, but it'll do. I'm going to be feeling very Space Jam while wearing it.

The one thing that really drew me to this brand were the beauty bits that they include in the boxes. So far there isn't anything that I wouldn't love to try. This month there is a Caudalie hand cream, a Kerastase conditioner, and a MLB lip and cheek colour. Other people have got different items, I've seen a Garnier product floating about, and a MLB lip balm.

I never jumped on the Caudalie bandwagon that was pushing through the blogging world a few years ago, but everyone raves about the brand so hopefully this hand and nail cream will be good. I've had very dry hands this winter, so I'm not sure if this will be heavy duty enough for me, but we can only see.

The Kerastase conditioner is supposed to leave hair feeling silky soft, and looking luminous. I'm not a conditioner girl, because every one that I've used so far has made my hair feel and look greasy. Hopefully this will work better for me.

And finally is the MLB own brand beauty product. This month (for me anyway) it's a lip and cheek colour stick. It's a pretty coral colour, and I think I'll be more likely to use this on my cheeks rather than lips. The texture of it reminds me of the Topshop cream to powder blushes, and hopefully it'll be just as good as them.

Overall it's a pretty good box, and it's a great mid-month pick me up.

Have you subscribed to MLB? Or any other subscription box? Have you tried any of these products before?
