I am delighted to share with you the latest offering from My Little Box for the month of November. And this month's theme is.... Goodnight! At first I was a little unsure about how MLB would execute this box.. but I must say I am a happy customer with this months box.
I managed to resist ALL urge to sneak a peak at any spoilers online which can be quite a challenging task when there are lots of photos posted on instagram. I always find the boxes to be way more enjoyable when I have no idea what is going to be in it... It really is like unwrapping a surprise pressie! That's what I love about subscription boxes... Its almost like you've treated yourself to an extra birthday present every month but have no idea what it is! Something to make me smile everything month! what could possibly be wrong with that?
The box this month is designed beautifully with a starry sky; it is pretty simplistic than a lot of the other boxes but I think the design works well and the little sticker inside the box is really sweet.
The box comes tied up as usual with the MLB ribbon and the card this month is double sided with a little anecdote about stars and night time and then on the other side there is a really cute illustration of a girl in her bed and says "Je ne veux pas dormir, je ne veux que rever." This translates into "I don't want to sleep, I just want to dream."
The glossy mag is included as it does every month and as usual I always set aside some time to have a read through it as I really enjoy the articles and spreads in it.
The first item I pulled out of the box was a crepe paper starry envelope which says "Sweet Dreams" on it. Inside the envelope was a sleep mask in a midnight blue colour with little moons and stars all over it. I really like this item and sleep masks are something I never wear as I can sleep pretty much at any time and do not need complete darkness which is why I think some people use these masks. It is really cute though and I might give it a try. It is actually really soft and might even be really comfortable to wear.
The next of the lifestyle items I pulled out of the box was a really cute little box and I was intrigued to see what was inside...
Inside the box was such a cute little jewellery dish for putting rings, earrings on and other little small pieces of jewellery and I LOVE it! I already own a little jewellery dish which is now becoming a tad overloaded with my jewellery so another one will most definitely come in handy. This little polished porcelain dish is in a half moon shape and is adorable. A definite staple for my bed side table.
D'accord.... For the next part of the box; the beauty bag of items. The little drawstring bag this month was pretty plain in its design with little stars on it.
The first item I had a look at was the Garnier PureActive 3 in 1 in a 50ml size. This 3 in 1 formula is designed to Wash, Scrub and Mask and is the "ultimate beauty multitasker" - a great thing for anyone on the go and in a hurry. "Combining three skincare products in a single bottle, it cleverly cleanses, exfoliates and fights the appearance of blemishes all at once." I have not tried this product yet but I do enjoy Garnier products and they work well on my skin so I imagine I will use this. A 150 ml size of this item is retailed at £5.10.
The next little item in a cute, adorable box was a perfume sample from brand Yves Rocher and is called: Secret D'Essences Accord Chic. MLB's description of this perfume is "spicy, daring, mysterious and French." I find it to be more of a muskier scent than I would wear and seems more suitable for a more mature lady. I loved the last perfume sample that was received in the Sweet Box last October I think... It was the Elixir perfume from Yves Rocher and I much preferred that one to this one. This perfume retails at £53 for 50 ml (A rather pricey perfume.. ) At this price tag I think I will be sticking to my Mon Paris from YSL.
The last of the beauty items was a Moonrise make-up remover jelly. This generous 100 ml sized bottle from My Little Beauty is beautifully designed with half moons on it in a midnight blue background. This formula is 99.5% natural and vegan that is suited to every skin type. On contact with water this cleanser transforms into a gentle milk, that is very gentle with a subtle scent and works excellently at removing make up and dirt from the face.

Least Favourite item: Yves Rocher perfume
A delightful mixed bag of items this month from MLB. I am happy with what I received this month however..... I am super excited to see what My Little Box delivers for December! The Christmas boxes for subscription boxes have very high expectations to deliver something spectacular so I am intrigued to see what December delivers. Having said that I always love the My Little Boxes' and will be continuing my subscription for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for reading this if you do!
A Bientot et bisous!
