My Little Parisienne Box UK Review (September 2014)

I just subscribed and was very impressed with the first UK My Little Box which arrived on my doorstep today! It was only £11 plus £3.95 P&P and you would pay around that just for the sample of the Laura Mercier Primer I received. 

You can visit their website and subscribe here!

Contents included:

A 30ml Laura Mercier Foundation Primer

A 10ml Nuxe Multi Purpose Dry Oil (face, body, hair)

A My Little Beauty Stylo Lumière (highlighter)

A Cute Drawstring Bag

A Parisienne Girl Illustrated Laptop Sleeve

A Notebook (with blank pages)

A Page of Adorable Paris Themed Stickers

An Illustrated Piece of Card (I’m going to frame mine)

and An Illustrated Box to keep things in.

I love anything to do with Paris, I’m so glad I found out about them and can’t wait for my next box!

GlossyBox September 2011 ‘5 Future Classics’ Review

 I’ve been testing out GlossyBox products since June and the September box came today, earlier than I expected!

 Firstly the 1.5 ml Eau de Parfum Plum by Mary Greenwell smelt very ‘mumsy’, not a scent I’d wear as a 20 year old and came in one of those awkward tubes to ensure that once opened, the perfume will be all over your fingers.

 It didn’t smell like a plum to me but then again I haven’t sniffed any plums lately, if you want to smell like a plum maybe you’ll love this.

 Day Solution by Green People is a daily moisturiser ‘delicately scented with fairly traded Rose Geranium’. It says to apply to your face and neck but the scent of Rose Geranium is about as delicate as an elephant wearing Dr Martens so it’s now my excellent hand cream for the winter months.

 There were also a couple of sachets of Rahua Shampoo and Conditioner. Apparently it ‘prevents frizz, adds bounce, body and shine’ but as it claimed to be ideal for colour treated hair I’ll be saving this sample for usage when I next highlight/ dye my hair.

Eye&Brow Palette in 'Vamp'.

 I was excited to find a HD Brows Eye&Brow Palette in my GlossyBox, however instead of receiving ‘Bombshell’ for blondes or even ‘Foxy’ for brunettes I got ‘Vamp’ for dark hair… I have blue/ green eyes and medium blonde hair.

 Somehow this product hasn’t matched the preferred requirements in my beauty profile I filled out for GlossyBox but I guess you get whatever products they have left over if there’s a high demand.

 On the plus side, for the price of £19.95 when I only paid £10 and P&P for the entire contents of my GlossyBox I really can’t complain. The shades are too dark for defining my eyebrows but I have been loving matte brown eye shadows recently and now I have 4 more that last ’24 hours’.

 My final and favourite product in this GlossyBox has to be The Green Balm by Moa. I tried this and it’s the most moisturising lip balm I’ve ever used! It is organic and smells very slightly like tea tree oil and my beauty card informs me that it has ‘many weird and wonderful uses’.
