Bonjour mes amis!
Well this blog has truly needed a little dusting down as it has been an age since I have posted on here. I hope you have all been well during these crazy times we are living in. I have been finding the small wins have been keeping me going and My Little Box is one of them. A little package of joy I receive every month all the way from France which is always a nice surprise. I recently received the French edition of the March My Little Box which is in collaboration with Caudalie. I think I have previously mentioned that My Little Box do not currently operate in the UK, they suspended their boxes here a few years ago now. As I was so sad to see it go I decided to have the French edition shipped to the UK via a parcel forwarding site.
This months box is in collaboration with Caudalie, a French brand I absolutely love. A fair few of the previous boxes have featured the odd Caudalie product however not a dedicated box so I am excited! My Little Box often feature with quite well known brands such as Nuxe, MAC and Estee Lauder.
This months box is not typically in a "box" fashion and instead the items are all found to be in a woven, canvas style plant pot.
Lifestyle Items
I really like the style of this pot and will most definitely get use of it. I really like this trend we are seeing; plenty of greenery and plants in hanging style pots much like this one. A nice trailing style plant would suit this pot really well I think, going to have a browse and do a bit of plant shopping.
The next of the lifestyle items is a turban style towel for your hair. I received one of these in a box a loong time ago and have only recently started using it and what can I tell you?... Its a revelation. What was my life before this? It fits perfectly on your head and is held secure with a button, no more oversized towels balancing on the top of your head. The one I am currently using is like a flannel type material which is lovely and soft. The one in this box has a slightly different material with a more fleecy like texture. Very happy to have received this as they are so compact and ideal for travelling. Now I have two I can alternate them between washes. If you do not have one of these and have considered getting one, you will not be disappointed. I used to see them and think they could be a little "gimicky" and would not be any good but I love mine and I am very pleased to have discovered them so thank you My Little Box. An aspect of My Little Box that I am always impressed with is their variety and innovation of products. They deliver items that are quirky, useful and always delightful. I probably use 90% of the items I receive and see my box every month as a little present to me, from me.
The next of the lifestyle items are of the jewellery variety - always a win in my eyes. I am always delighted to receive an item of jewellery and have amassed a fair collection now.
As you can see from the image, I received a little package with two delicate gold rings inside. These are adorable and something I will definitely wear. A dainty ring is always a cute option and this was a great choice for spring.
I often wear costume jewellery and like to layer rings together so I will most likely do that with these. Gold is my preference of jewellery so I am a very happy customer MLB! :) The rings compliment the theme of the box very well and are very cute against the floral cotton bag that the beauty items come in.
Beauty Items
Ok... Here comes the every exciting little bag of beauty goodies and I know from the the collaboration of the box that they will all be Caudalie products.
The first item out the bag is a Vinoclean Instant Foaming Cleanser with moisturising grape and purifying sage in 150 ml. I have recently been experimenting a little with different cleansers to see what suits my skin type better. Currently, I am enjoying the milky jelly cleanser from Glossier and I am finding that a milky like formulation is more kinder to my skin. I will try this cleanser and see what the results are, foaming cleansers can be quite stripping to my skin and leave it feeling quite irritated after. With that being said.. I have not yet tried a Caudalie cleanser and I really like them overall as a brand so will see how it goes..
The next of the Caudalie items is a Nourishing body lotion in 30 ml size. This is a little compact body lotion ideal for when travelling can resume. I have tried this out on my arms, the scent is pleasant and smells very natural. Some body lotions can often smell a bit artificial and are too overbearing on my skin so this is lovely for my skin. The lotion is quick drying, non sticky and has left a lovely soft, nourishing feeling on my skin.
The last of the Caudalie items is a Vinosource moisturising sorbet in a travel size of 15 ml. This cream comes like it is described in a sorbet like texture, almost fluffy like. It is lightly scented and this moist quenching cream aims to 'deeply hydrate all skin types, even the hyper-sensitive ones' much like mine. This cream is gentle on my skin and has it has complimented it well.

Favourite item: The turban hair wrap
Least Favourite Item: Caudalie foaming cleanser
And thats it! My round up of the Caudalie Beautiful Plant box. My overall feeling about this box is very positive and really impressed me. As I previously mentioned I think that because My Little Box are solely focusing on the French edition it has become very impressive. I would say the quality has improved and I am really happy that I can still get My Little Box. I hope you have enjoyed having a read of this review. If you were are a previous MLB subscriber in the UK. do you miss it at all? Let me know.
Until next time... I hope to continue to receive these boxes and review them for you all.. So stay tuned. I hope you all stay safe and well.. we are just beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel so stick in there.
A bientot et bisous
