My Little Box – review

ramblingmads

As well as the Glossybox reviewed yesterday I subscribed to My Little Box, again only on a trial basis. The first one came this morning.

My Little Frenchie Box

Designed by model and designer Ines de La Fressange it includes a mini magazine, a cute red, white and blue selection of goodies – a phone case, inspirational bon mots in a bottle and a cloth bag of beauty products – L’oreal Brow Artist Plumper, By Terry Kohl crayon, exclusive face tint, DHC Oil Blotting Paper.

Unlike Glossybox, My Little Box asks you to complete a questionnaire about your preferences, colouring, skin type so you get a tailor made selection of items, which means everything is picked for you and then you don’t end up with things you can’t/don’t use, which was the issue I had with Latest in Beauty boxes.

So far, quite pleased, although the eyebrow tint is probably not going to get much use as mine are very pale blonde and the tint would be too dark.

Glossybox review

Yesterday I received my first Glossybox. Having previously bought a few Latest in Beauty, which contain a mixture of full size and mini products, most of which I ended up not using and giving away.
Glossybox is a box of full size surprises. This is the February box and contains

A Wilkinson Sword HydroSilk razor, Marsk mineral eye shadow in grey, Royal Apothic tinted lip butter in coral, So Susan Rose Quartet for lips and cheek, B. All waterproof mascara and a mini pack of Love Hearts sweets. All beautifully packaged like a present.

Cheaper than Latest in Beauty boxes, but with fewer products, these boxes are clearly a promo product for the brands featured, which apart from the razor, I’d never heard of.

I will probably use most of the products, minus the mascara, due to my very sensitive eyes. I like eyeshadows and the lip/cheel tint is hypoallergenic.

The packaging is cute and the box sturdy enough to be reused.

My plan is to subscribe for three months and if I don’t use the products to cancel my subscription.

Do you subscribe to any beauty boxes? Want to recommend a product. Write me a comment below. 🙂
