My Little Box July 2015 Review

I decided to do a non-bookish related post today about a beauty box subscription service I've really been enjoying! I signed up for My Little Box in late April, so my first box was the May one. So far I've been liking everything, but not loving it - until now. July's box is the My Little Road Trip Box, and I've been really impressed with it, so I thought I'd show you the things I got, and my impressions of them!

(Note: I suck at taking photos. It is a curse. I have the least steady hand and no concept of good angles or lighting. I did attempt to take close ups of each product so you could see them in more detail, but the result was an atrocity, so you're better off with these blurry far away shots - trust me. I'm also using my phone camera which is rubbish as I don't actually own a proper camera because I am too useless to use one, so I do apologise. Just bear with it.)

Really like the design of this month's box, and the little card with the quote on it! I usually use the boxes to store miscellaneous items, and I use the cards to decorate the inside of my wardrobe (the illustrations are always really cute).

My thoughts on each individual product:

My Little Beauty Summer Sorbet After Sun Body Gelée: the My Little Beauty products always have the most adorable packaging! I love this after sun cream - it smells gorgeous and has a great texture. It's easy to apply and doesn't take ages to absorb into your skin (which is great for me as I'm kind of lazy and can't be bothered with creams that take ages to rub in).

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water: I have very sensitive skin so I have to be careful with what I put on my face. I'm not wearing make up today so I haven't been able to test out this product fully, but I did a little patch test and I haven't broken out in some hideous rash yet, so fingers crossed this product really will be cleansing and soothing "even for sensitive skin" as the bottle claims.

Essie Nail Polish: mine is in the shade "DJ Play That Song". You can't really go wrong with Essie, to be honest. I really like Essie nail polishes, they have a great formula, and even I can go a day or two or even three without chipping (and I am the clumsiest person, so going more than two days without chipping is some kind of miracle). Not the biggest fan of this shade of purple, but it's a nice, bright, summery colour, so I'm sure I'll wear it at some point.

DCER Golden Temporary Tattoo Set: these are so cute! I love the arrows and the feather. Not sure exactly when I'd be wearing these but I am excited to try them! Maybe I'll put one around my ankle the next time I wear sandals, and see how it goes.

Bic x My Little Box Ready-to-Send Notebook and Crystal Stylus Pen: okay, so this really appeals to my stationery loving self. The notebook is in the shape of an envelope and I love it. I love notebooks. Shove any pretty notebook in my face and I'll be content for hours. Notebooks will always make me happy!

My Little Box Travel Organiser: this is probably my favourite thing in this month's box. I like to prepare extensively before I travel, so an organiser for me is essential. This one is really lovely with a fab design and pockets for your passport, your tickets and any other things you'd need with you. It's perhaps not the sturdiest travel organiser you could get, but it's pretty and I will definitely be making use of it.

That's my review of this month's box! What did you think? Did you prefer any other beauty boxes over this one for July? The only other beauty box I've tried so far is Glossybox and I wasn't really that impressed. I'm open to recommendations though!
