Beauty Box: My Little Energy Box

If you've read my last post you'll know that I, like many people, am trying to have a bit of a health kick this January. So far I'm doing ok. Lost a few pounds and been exercising more regularly. I am having a pizza tonight though - but balance is important right? Have you made a change this year? How's it going?

Anyway, the lovely people over at My Little Box are obviously having a health overhaul too because their first 2015 box seems perfect for anyone looking to have a little life refresh. I was really pleased to receive a full-size tube of Talik day cream worth a whopping £43.50. The photo-hyrda moisturiser is meant to "use energy from natural light to delve deep into the skin and moisturise it." I'm not really quite sure what that means but its non-greasy formula and illuminating effect were pretty great. I also got a Nails Inc nail varnish which I was pleased with because I love the brand. I was intrigued by My Little Box's own brand energising face mist too. It is meant to contain all sort of goodies for the skin and revive the appearance of a dull, tired complexion. While I'm not sure it'll fully makeover my face, it does smell pretty amazing and facial sprays are great for giving foundation a more dewy, natural look. I'm going to try and get in the habit of giving myself a quick spritz before heading out in the morning.

I was so excited to get a gym bag in my box too. Although I haven't really pictured it all that well, it's really cool. I like the pattern on it and it's a good size to bung my towel and swimming costume into, when I head out at home or for beach holidays. And the calendar was a great little extra because I forgot to buy one and kind of resented paying lots of money for a pretty one. I really like the My Little Box illustrations so the calendar will do me just fine.

I know I probably say it every month, but I really think that My Little Box is the most thoughtful, innovative subscription box currently on the market. It always has a great mix of high quality cosmetics, and the lifestyle extra, although sometimes not exactly my taste, is consistently well-designed and good quality. It's definitely my favourite box and the most exciting to delve into. I'm excited for next month already. Anyway, I'm off to order my pizza and gaze guiltily at my new gym bag. Oh, it is a Saturday, hey?

Are you a My Little Box Subscriber? Were you pleased this month?
