Bonjour mes amis!
It has been a long time since I wrote a post for you all!... November last year to be exact! What can I say... I fell into a bit of a rut before Christmas and was swamped with numerous things going on in my life.. A change of job for one (and a fair few others) but I am back and have a review for the March MLB for you all which I hope you will enjoy.
The theme for the March box is: No Filter and I personally love what they have created with this theme.. I would say this box (or bag) for this month has been very true to its theme and all of its contents run very well with the nofilter theme. I think this might be the best box that I have seen by the means of MLB tying everything in with the theme so precisely. Spot on MLB! Soo without delay.. Lets look at the contents of this wonderful bag.
Every now and then; My Little box like to stray away a little from the actual box that you receive your contents in; previously they have offered us a tin, a fabric bag, a box that was sort of a book with a cover that could be tied with the traditional MLB ribbon. I like that occasionally they offer up something a bit different and I am sure like many other subscribers I am struggling to make space to store all the boxes; that are just too pretty to throw away!
The bag itself is a nude, translucent, glossy plastic which will be perfect to use as a wash bag for a weekend away; it is really lovely and stylish.
The first item I pulled out of the bag was a sort of pink blush coloured box that says "Selfie brush" on it - pretty big clue as to what this could be.. A purse-sized foundation and blush brush. It is so cute and compact and I just cannot tell you how in love I am with the colour theme of this box - the nudes, rose golds and pink blush colours they have packaged everything in; it is gorgeous. Very contemporary and looks expensive.
The brush is soo soft and delicate with a lovely gentle blush colour on the top of it. I will definitely be using this for my loose setting powder and think it will work wonderfully for just that.
The next item I had a look at was in the most cutest packaging I had ever seen!... Pink heart shaped bubble wrap! Can there be anything better than that?! We need more of this in the world!!!
Not gonna lie... I've been popping these hearts away but its such cute packaging I am trying my best not to ruin it! Packaging is a big selling point for me! So inside this intriguing little package was something called "The Ring for your smartphone". This nifty little piece of kit in a rose gold colour attaches to the back of your phone and allows you to use it as a mini tripod to take photos/videos in portrait and landscape and its 360 degree rotation compatibility is perfect for "those acrobatic selfies" if you feel the urge to want to take photos upside down. I have now attached mines to my phone (without taking a photo first).. nice move Cheryl.. but you can see a pic here of how it works. I am liking it for mainly the purpose of propping my phone up to watch things on my phone hands free (It has especially been perfect for in the bath!) Love the idea MLB!
The next item I pulled out was again a small blush coloured box with a lady on it doing her nails... so I am thinking... Nail Polish!
This is a very delicate pinky/nude colour which I really love and again the theme is running brilliantly throughout. It really is apparent why each item has been chosen for this box as we go through the contents. I can never be disappointed with a nail polish so I am happy with this.
The next of the beauty related items which I was MEGA pleased with! was....................... A........ Laura Mercier foundation primer in 15ml size. I love Laura Mercier products however I do not tend to use them a lot as they are a little more high end than I usually buy - every once in a while though as a treat! This new Blemish less primer is intended to make pores disappear right before your eyes and evens out skin tone. I do love a primer and the one I have been using recently is the Too Faced Hangover primer however as I love Laura Mercier products I am well too excited to try this out. The formula is very light and delicately fragranced. This retails at: £30 RRP.
The last of the beauty items is an Ultra HD Pressed Powder from brand Make Up Forever. This pressed microfinishing powder; mattifies, blurs imperfections and leaves you looking luminous. I have heard good things about this powder and I am intrigued to see how "photo-ready" it actually makes you feel. Will give it a go and will see if a nofilter selfie is instagram worthy! ahaha! This retails at: £26 RRP.
I was happy to see that MLB still included the usual printed card which I love to frame. This one is lovely and says "You were born to be real.. Not to be perfect" Love this quote and is very apt for this box. Pass me a frame!
So there you have it My Little Boxers... The March review! What did you think of this box if you received it? I adore this box and think My Little Box have really upped their game and brought something really outstanding to the table.
My Favourite item: Laura Mercier primer
My Least Favourite item: Nail Polish
Marks out of 10: DIX :)
I am waiting in eager anticipation for next months box, if MLB keep this standard up! Great work MLB!
A big thank you to all those reading this! Hope you enjoy it and I promise I will be back soon this time! No more long breaks! :)
A bientot et bisous!
