My Little Box April 2016

If anyone has read my Pink Parcel post, they will have seen my official apology for the lateness in posting. For all the My Little Box post readers, I shall repeat my apology. I have finally moved into my new house (it was love at first step) but I was left without internet access for quite some time so I really apologise.

I loved this month's theme. I have recently gotten really into gardening, plants and all things floral so to see it was My Little Flower Box was amazing for me. I thought it was a really sweet touch that some of the subscribers had bunches of flowers delivered with their boxes. Unfortunately I was not one of the lucky few but I really thought that was a great idea from the MLB team. The box itself is absolutely stunning and in a book type structure rather than the usual box with lid format we are used to. Before I'd even opened it, I was in love already.

Upon opening I was really happy to see the 'Jardin d'appartement', a lovely little pop up garden for your house and I knew exactly where this was going to go in my lovely new house. There isn't much more I can say until the seeds start to sprout but I thought this was a lovely idea and very in keeping with this month's theme. Apparently they sell this for £7 which is a little pricey in my opinion but it's a nice inclusion none the less.

The next lifestyle item was a gorgeous little lingerie bag, as part of a collaboration with Balzac Paris. It is absolutely beautiful and sweet and it makes me really wish I was going on holiday this summer. It has two separate compartments and a nice orange bow to keep everything nicely together when filled. The front has the motto 'La Vie Elegante' whilst the inside has a sweet picture of ladies' intimates. Normally costing £13 I loved this item and a very successful collab in my opinion. Well done MLB and Balzac. 

Now the bit everyone looks forward to each month, the bag of make up and beauty products. As per usual in a little drawstring bag, this month's featuring grey leaves so again very in keeping with this month's theme. The first product I pulled out was a Nails Inc base coat. Nails Inc are a good brand and it normally retails about £11, so definitely value for money. However not a product I am raving about. At the end of the day it's just a base coat. I would have preferred to see a colour, maybe something floral (greens, yellows, pinks, oranges). 

Next out is another brilliant brand, L'Occitane whose products I'm always more than happy to use. This one is their 'Pivoine Flora' shower gel whose peony scent transports you to France in spring. The only let down is I know how quickly I'll use up this sample. Thankfully My Little Box have arranged for their subscribers a discount for the month of April so chances are I'm going stock up on this one.

Every month MLB includes a product from their own beauty range, My Little Beauty, and this month is no different. We have been given a detox mask 'Rosée Du Matin' or Rosy Mornings for those who struggle with French. Apparently bursting with vitamin C which is always good for waking up skin after a long, harsh winter. Really looking forward to trying this out. This is £11 a go so I definitely feel like we got great value for money from this month's box.

This month had a really beautiful theme, great especially for spring and the contents I was absolutely delighted with (except the Nails Inc base coat which I was still relatively happy with). This box's theme really appealed to me and it was done perfectly.

I love My Little Flower Box!
