The little sticker that came with this month's edition was equally cute. Then once I opened the box words can't describe how happy I was to see the return of the glossy version of My Little World magazine. Every since I've subscribed it's been a folded up paper version that I haven't really bothered about so I am delighted they've gone back to their old format and I now will take the time to read it. I really hope they'll be sticking to this style of magazine in the future and it's not just a one off for the Christmas version.
Next came the sweet mittens you see above. Black with gold sparkles, beautifully presented (as always), with the adorable caption of 'Anti-brrr kit for frosty days'. Now they probably won't be getting pulled out much this year. Here in the UK we're having an unusually warm December but once the snow does hit (I have no doubt it will at some point) I'll be rocking these bad boys. These retail at £10 through My Little Corner so I was starting to have a sneaky suspicion that I'd be getting my money's worth this month.
The next item was something I was equally as excited about. I'm a massive tea drinker of all kinds. Loose black tea is my preferred option so I was over the moon to see a tin of Kumi Tea. I receive the Anastasia blend which they describe as a Russian blend of China and Ceylon teas with scents of bergamot, lemon, lime and orange blossom. Now if this tastes anywhere near as good as it smells I'm in for a treat. This is one product I can't wait to try out! For 125g they charge £13.10, but it's a wee 25g tester size I've received.
I can now forgive My Little Box for not including a make up bag last month as this month they've gone all out with a bigger sized zippy make bag up. I am so happy with this addition to the box, which they normally sell for £6. Now I knew that regardless of the bag's contents we were onto a winner.
First out the bag was a body cream from Rituals called Magic Touch. It's Cherry blossom and rice milk scent is lovely. However as I received a body cream from Baïja in October's box, I have the feeling I'll be passing this one onto someone else to test for me. For a full sized one it would set you back £17 for 200ml. However, this is a tester size of 70mls. If I do try it out, I will let you know in my review of the products.
The next product I was delighted with: NARS blusher in 'Orgasm'. Normally priced at £23. My blusher is very nearly done as well so this couldn't have came at a better time. It's a best seller for NARS so I'd say this is a great addition to this month's box. The final product is....more nail polish. I've said it in a previous review and I will say it again. I do not need more nail varnish in my life! I literally have boxes of the stuff. However, that said the Vice-Versa duo from My Little Beauty is lovely. A gold sparkly number with a perfectly matched midnight blue I will definitely be trying out this product for you. Normally they would charge £7 for this duet of nail bling.
All in all this box has been a triumph for me. The thing I love most about My Little Box is that it's more than just a beauty box. The inclusion of items like the mittens and tea is what really makes it for me. That and the monthly theme. Granted there's some month's I haven't really got the theme but it's still a great concept. Well done to all in the My Little Box organisation and I can't wait for my first box of 2016!
