My Little Box November 2015

So this one was a goodie. I already knew the theme because they'd given it away on social media. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I preferred when it was a surprise. At work we've been doing a whole 'No fat November' thing and attempting to be healthy. So to receive 'My Little Sweet Box' was like a sign from above that dieting is not my strong point.

Displayed in a beautifully decorated tin, that will from now on house a collection of sweet treats in my kitchen, I was excited to see what would be inside. The tin itself is valued at £7.50 so I was fairly confident I would get my money's worth this month.
First thing inside was a lovely little apron with the same pattern as on the box. I do enjoy cooking and baking so this was a most welcome treat. And at a retailing price of £11 I now knew for certain that I was happy with this month's box regardless of what else I was to receive. 

Next up was the above envelope with adorable jar decals. I love keeping my pasta, flour, rice, etc in jars so these were another really cute addition to this month's box. For people interested in purchasing them, they come in at £3 a pop. My favourite one was the Coffee, stating: May your coffee be strong and your Monday be short. Here here! 

Now onto the beauty selection in my box. My only negative is that the treats didn't come in a little bag as usual. These bags are one of my favourite part of the boxes so I was a little disappointed at it's exclusion this month.

First product was My Little Beauty's own Sweet Hand Cream. With a subtle marshmallow scent and a thick texture that doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy, this was a welcome addition. My hands tend to suffer over the winter month's so this handbag sized cream is really great. Plus it's the only thing in the box that I feel truly fits the 'sweet' theme. 



Next up was this adorable little bottle of perfume from Yves Rocher. A woody scent that I wouldn't normally go for but it will do for when I'm on the go due to it's cute and dinky size. 

The last piece from this month's box was a neck and décolletage lifting cream from Dr Pierre Ricaud. Not something I can say is in my daily routine but I will certainly try it out. If for no other reason than it normally would cost £18 and is a lovely pinky colour that almost looks good enough to eat!



All in all I was delighted by this month's box! Had it included the little postcard and make up bag that is usually in the box it would have been absolutely perfect. For those who wonder whether or not it's worth it, I would definitely say give it a try. Even with last month's box when I was a little disappointed, it was still worth the price. The sticker included this month sums up my feelings perfectly:
