It’s time to peek inside my latest Little Box. Last month’s was a little disappointing, can this one do better? First out, as usual, was a print:
Next, I was thrilled to find a scarf designed by American Vintage. How wonderful is this packaging?
In the beauty bag this month were nail decals, a lip cream, La Roche-Posay BB cream and some Kerastase blowdrying cream.
I’ll definitely try the blow-drying gel as I really like Kerastase products. I’m little scared by the claim that it’s a voluptuous volumising gel with a strong hold – my thick hair certainly doesn’t need any extra volume. It’s already being a bit more voluptuous than I’d like since my new haircut!
I also like the look of the La Roche-Posay BB cream. I might give this a go as a day-cream as I’ve been impressed with their other products. It’s ‘subtle mineral pigments oh-so-delicately melt into your skin to illuminate your complexion without being too obvious’. Sounds good as my skin is looking a bit dry and dull at the moment. It’s basically tinted moisturiser, right?
The lip cream is a bright raspberry shade. To be honest, it’s a bit too bright for me (again) and the creamy texture was really difficult to apply without it smearing everywhere. Here’s a rather stern photo of me wearing the lipstick and the scarf:
The best bit of the box is definitely the scarf, which is really soft and drapes well. I love scarfs and this is a great one to add to my collection!
All in all, it’s not a bad box.
Do you have a favourite subscription box?
Looks great! I really like the scarf and print. The Kerastase looks nice too. I really want to try one of these boxes now! Gemma xx

Oh I love it!
The scarf is gorgeous, it’s really lovely!
BTW the red shade looks beautiful on you – definitely one for if you fancy a change one time 🙂

Thanks Imogene! It really is a lovely scarf x
Great review! I just got this box too, but my contents were quite different. The only thing we got the same is the lip colour. I’ve been a bit too scared to try mine just yet but it looks really nice on you. It’s the only subscription box I’ve liked enough to both sign up with and stick with, although I agree with you that last month’s was a bit of a damp squib.
Thanks Rachel! I hadn’t realised the contents of the boxes varied so much. I keep thinking I’m going to give this box up, but I do really like the surprises each month – even if I don’t end up using half of them!
