My Little Box Mademoiselle - September

This month’s My Little Box was the first one I paid for myself and I am so pleased I decided to stick with this box. I love the variety in each box and this month was no exception. One of the things I love most about this box is the magazine it comes with, it is full of helpful tips and tricks and no other box I have been subscribed to has had this feature. There is such a mixture of items in each box it really is exciting and I have found that I have used all of them! The box this month had a centre flap opening to the lid tied with a ribbon. So unique! 


The first item I received was this gorgeous navy Mademoiselle Pierlot’s Purse RRP £30. It feels sturdy and of really great quality and has lovely red edge detailing. This is going to be perfect for travelling, it’s just big enough for your passport and some money and a few cards. It feels too luxurious to use for day to day, it would be a shame to ruin it by stuffing it with receipts!  When you use the code MYLITTLEBOX you can get yourself 30% off the Claudie Pierlot range online. from 01/10/16 – 15/10/16


Another thing I like about this box is that you always receive a little pouch, these come in handy for so many things at home. I use mine for make-up, hair accessories and even use one to store my tablets and remedies in so they can be nicely tucked away in my bedside drawers. I love this month’s pouch, it’s so cute!


I was so pleased to see this Ren 3-in-1 cleansing water in my box this month. Me and Ren go way back, when I first started my blog ‘Christie Critique’ in 2012, I featured a post all about Ren and it became my most viewed post. Back in 2012 I would get about 2-3 views a day but my post on Ren had well over 1000 views! I haven’t used Ren products since 2012 so I was glad to see this in my box, it brought back good memories. I have wanted to try a cleansing/micellar water for a while and have been really enjoying this Ren one. This is something I would definitely repurchase and my skin is left feeling so clean and fresh after using this. 


I was in need of a new mascara so the Mascara Mademoiselle Audacious Volume RRP £14 was a welcomed addition to this month’s box. The magazine also had a makeup tutorial using this mascara and some tips to tell if your mascara is past its  best!


The brush is a standard spoolie but the results are great. I haven’t had any problems with mascara fallout since using this product and have really been enjoying it.


The final item in this month’s box was the Ginseng shot mask by Erborian Korean Skin Therapy RRP £6. This single shot sheet mask brings a bouncy freshness to your face. It’s so simple to use, simply unfold, leave on the skin for 10-15 minutes and you are good to go. My skin felt so refreshed after using this and I could definitely see that the radiance had improved in my complexion.


What do you think of this month’s box?

Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara Review*

I recently got hold of the Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara and couldn’t wait to tell you all about it!

Firstly, how gorgeous is the packaging? The mascara comes in this lovely sturdy box and just looks so nice.

The kit consists of 2 pieces. Firstly the Transplanting Gel which looks like a normal mascara wand. After applying a normal mascara to my eyelashes, I then use this want to add a layer of the gel onto my lashes ready for stage 2.

The second part is to apply the Natural Fibers to your lashes. This brush is simply a wand with fibers stuck to it. After applying these, I then add another layer of the Transplanting gel, and blast my eyelashes with a hairdryer to remove excess fibers and to set them in place.

Here are my eyelashes with one layer of normal mascara, one layer of Younique Fiber Lash and then a second layer of the fiber lash.

I’ll be honest, I can’t really see much difference between the Younique mascara and my own, and this is a lot more expensive. I found that throughout the day I had fibers on my face, and when I brushed them off I was left with black smears on my cheeks.

You can purchase this mascara direct from here in the UK from November 1st for just $23.00 (excluding p+p) .
