Mademoiselle (n.): 1. Term of address denoting younger female. 2. A French-er, fancier way of saying "Miss". 3. A free-spirited, mischievious, and insouciant young woman. One who's got that special something you just can't get enough of. The one with that famous je ne sais quoi.
To quote from the My Little World magazine... This month's theme from My Little Box is something oh so French and chic and is Mademoiselle!
I knew my Little Box would be delivering something special for the month of September as it the month of Fashion! Not only in Paris but across the globe. And this has been quite a running theme for the boxes of September by My Little Box as last years box was a Fashion box and the year before that: a Parisian box. In my opinion My Little Box do these boxes best as they are a Paris based brand and really know how to add a little Parisian style to your life. Something I really love and admire about these boxes.
So let's check out the box!
The sticker that is normally included in the inside lid of the box was missing this month.. and although it is just a sticker; it is a little extra that is missed and something I'd like to see each month.
The style of this month's box is unique to the usual boxes as it designed to be like a little shop with the ribbon tied in the middle so when you untie it; its like opening the little doors to the fashion boutique. My Little Box collaborated with an English blogger: Freddy My Love. Who is actually someone I have never heard of.... :/ Anyone else heard of her? Another collaborator for this box is Claudie Pierlot; a French clothing brand known for their "elegant designs with a cheeky, playful edge." The epitome of French style.
Upon opening the box there was a printed card with a photo of Freddy on it and some information about herself and Claudie Pierlot. Not really something I would frame and display but a nice touch all the same.
The glossy mag from My Little World was included and I always enjoy this little mag for a good read and always has interesting style edits and make up articles.
The contents of the box I noticed to be significantly less than normal.... However; on opening the lifestyle item I realised the reasoning behind why we only received one item. The main lifestyle item is a purse designed by Claudie Pierlot and is retailed at £30. What can I say about this purse??.... J'Adore! It is beautifully designed in a navy blue shade with a red trim finish and complete with little bow on it. The purse is a great size for keeping everything I need in a purse.. All my cards, coins etc and looks beautifully elegant in true Parisian fashion.
The little bag of beauty goodies was so cute this month and reminded me of a Lulu Guinness design with a little face on it.
Inside the bag was the usual three beauty items and the first item I pulled out was a Ginseng Shot Mask by a Korean Skin Therapy company called erborian. This mask is in the style of a face sheet mask which I really love and feel these style of masks are very easy to apply and remove and work wonders on my skin. This mask is supposed to act like a concentrate of youth and helps to visibly reduce the signs of ageing. Always a bonus! I am looking forward to trying this out soon. The mask retails for £6.
The last item from the My Little Beauty range is a Mascara Mademoiselle. I am really pleased with this item and I am happy to see a different item other than some sort of body lotion.. The mascara wand is a good quality brush and I have been happy with the results of this mascara so a big thumbs up for this item. A mascara in a beauty box will never fail to impress me. This retails for £14.
I also received a bonus item this month as I previously signed up to their Summer pack promotion whereby subscribers would receive an extra lifestyle item for the months of July, August and September. This month I received a headband that I love! Its the same style as the one included in the Dolce Vita box but this one is in different colours and I prefer it a lot more. I saw that this item featured in one of the French boxes and I was keen to get my hands on one so I am a happy girl that I received this!
The headband came in such a cute little box and I just love the range of colours used for this.
