Bonjour mes amis!
Well... Its been quite a long time since I posted anything on here. The blog has well and truly been given a good dusting off and I am here with a new post all about the French edition of My Little Box. Sadly My Little Box UK ceased in November 2017 and brought with it a lot of unhappy subscribers, myself for one! I really enjoyed my subscription with My Little Box so was pretty disappointed to see them stop sending to the UK.
However.... Silver linings and all that.. I have been able to subscribe to the French edition by having it sent to a forwarding address in France for them to then send it on to me. It does mean I can be a little behind in receiving boxes as the delivery process is longer, but I am just happy to be able to get my hands on it and carry on my subscription. The first offering I have for you here is the February box which is the theme of the Cosmos. I have been receiving boxes from France for a little while now but I am finally just getting around to sitting down and writing a review for you.... So Here Goes..!
The concept of the box is primarily the same as the UK one however I would say the contents are better and I feel the box is more value for the money. Of course I pay a bit more to have it forwarded to me but I feel that the quality of the box justifies this, so for the time being I am really happy to receive this.
The February box is the theme of the Cosmos which is super cute with the constellations of stars design on the box and everything in midnight blue and silver.
So lets delve in to this box...
Upon opening the box.. we are presented with the contents tied up cutely in a silver ribbon with some really cute holographic stickers.. always gotta love some stickers and My Little Box are strong with their sticker game. For someone who super enjoys seeing stickers in their Glossier orders - I am really happy to receive these.
Only one small downside was that there was no sticker this month on the insider of the outer cardboard packaging, normally they do have one - its a bit of a hit or a miss really.
Lifestyle items
Ok so on to the lifestyle items in this exciting box!..
First up... A beautiful gold necklace from jewellery brand Satellite. Customised to my own star sign Cancer this necklace is two gold discs, a smaller one in front of another engraved with my astrological sign on it. I really love this cute necklace and will be something I will get plenty of wear from. I am impressed that they have tailored this product unique to everyone and it is just a really nice little customised detail of the box.
The beauty products in this box are contained in a very stylish metallic silver clutch purse which says "Kit a emporter sur la lune" on it and this translates to "Kit to take to the moon".
Beauty items
Ok so on to the excitement of the beauty items and in true My Little Box style there are three items with one of them being an item from the My Little Beauty range.
The My Little Beauty item is a Masque de l'espace, translated to ... Space mask. This mask is a purifying silver face mask (50 ml) which I have now used twice and I am really impressed with it, after leaving it on for 10 minutes it leaves my skin feeling ultra clean, smooth and really purified. I am aiming to use this around twice a week to keep my skin in check and so far so good..
The second of the beauty items is a REDKEN multi-benefit treatment for hair in a 30 ml sample. As stated, this treatment is multi-use as it can be used as leave-in treatment after shampooing or as a rinse-out after 1-2 minutes for lightweight conditioning. The scent of this is really pleasing and I have been seeing good results using it as a leave-in treatment, can really see me re-purchasing this in a larger size however for the now it is making the perfect travelling companion for my hair.
Its... Benefit Bad gal Bang mascara!
I have been desperate to try this mascara for forever now and I am delighted to have received it. I received a small size sample of 4.0 g which is perfect for me to pop in my handbag. Let me tell you.... the wand on this mascara is tres bien!! Its a slender intricate comb like wand which catches every eyelash. The perfect mascara for lengthening my lashes, it is giving me vibes from my University days of wearing L'Oreal Telescopic mascara which used to be one of my must have mascaras.

Favourite item: Benefit mascara (and the necklace too!)
Least Favourite item: Silver clutch purse
And so you have it... my first review from the French edition of My Little Box. I intend to keep on top of doing these reviews.. as some of the boxes are really impressing me and I would love to share the content with you all. I can see why My Little Box perhaps decided to discontinue the UK boxes and focus on channeling their energy in to the French ones - they are certainly of a better quality with a higher quality of products and the little details, it has also been helping me out with my French! A win-win all round!
Until next time...
I am waiting to have my March box forwarded to me so I hope to receive this soon and a review will be on its way to you all!
A bientot et bisous!
