If last month’s box left you in awe and wanting more, the October My Little Box edition makes a fashionable bold statement in collaboration with Diane Von Furstenberg, an iconic fashion designer and philanthropist who is best known for introducing the wrap dress in the 70’s.
My unveiling of last month’s box left me truly impressed and I was pretty confident that this edit certainly wasn’t going to disappoint and I wasn’t wrong. From it’s chic presentation to the stylish and luxe contents within, it beautifully captures the work of Diane Von Furstenberg and her famous prints.
This box offers something very different compared to the other boxes and if their previous boxes are anything to go by you will certainly not be disappointed. It’s definitely a showstopper and one which is beautifully composed with their very own in-house illustrator Kanako.
My Little Box is a hand-picked and beautifully designed box of beauty, fashion and lifestyle surprises. With fashion accessories, beauty products and other goodies created exclusively for you and based around a different theme every month, each box promises to delight their subscribers. They also produce their in house beauty products known as My Little Beauty.
This month’s DVF edition contains 5 items and includes a mixture of beauty products which is contained within a charming draw string bag and also lifestyle items. Enclosed is also the My Little World Magazine which see’s it’s first debut inside the UK box.
1. Keratase Laque Noir Hairspray – Travel Size 75ml
The Keratase fixing hairspray offers a long-lasting hold and provides a 48hr anti-humidity super shield with an exclusive blend of fixing polymers in a water-free formula. It’s extra strong hold is ideal for controlling volume or radically structured styles. As we approach the party season this is the perfect companion to control my unruly hair for the cold and wetter evenings ahead.
This good sized travel spray comes in 75ml.
2. L’occitane Vanilla Bouquet Hand Cream – Sample Size 10ml
I’m a big fan of L’occitane, who’s products smell absolutely divine.Their distinct aroma’s can always be smelt when walking past their pretty dressed windows.
This highly concentrated hand cream which contains 20% shea butter helps to protect, nourish and soften the hands. It’s indulgent scent has sweet notes reminiscent of a vanilla flower.
I love the formula which is rich and when applied sinks into the skin without a trace of greasiness. My hands felt wonderfully soft.
3. My Little Beauty Micellar Water – Full Size 150ml
I think it’s pretty amazing that My Little Box also have their own beauty range which is called My Little Beauty.
This month see’s a full sized bottle of Micellar Water which gently removes make up and dirt and is infused with skin loving ingredients such as aloe vera for it’s softening properties and orange extract to smooth even the most sensitive skin.
I do love micellar water as it’s very effective at removing stubborn make-up and also freshens and brightens the skin.
4. Lifestyle Items
This month’s box included 2 lifestyle items which finished the box off perfectly.
First up is the DVF Print Scarf which comes designed in either a green, black or a red print from Diane Von Furstenberg’s famous collection. The silky material is of great quality and can be used in multiple ways such as a head band or if you’re feeling creative the scarf can also be transformed into a bag or a shrug! There’s some great step by step video’s on their Instagram account. I can’t wait to use the scarf to brighten up some of my autumn attire.
Up next is a cute DVF lip-shaped brooch. The lips come from a cover which Diane Von Furstenberg did for Interview Magazine in 1976 and very naturally became the brand logo.
My Verdict
I adore the October DVF edition from it’s chic presentation to the stylish and luxe contents within which beautifully captures the work of Diane Von Furstenberg and her famous prints. It really amazes me how much love and passion goes into My Little Box.
As soon as I opened the box it spelt out quality, class and all things chic. The attention to detail is very intricate and delicate and it’s certainly evident that a lot of effort and planning has gone into delivering this edit. It’s uniqueness definitely stands out from the others and their presentation is the prettiest I’ve seen. My Little Box is full of charm and I love the surprise aspect as they do not release any spoilers. This is certainly a box which I eagerly wait for!
The box also showcased well-known beauty brands such as Keratase and L’occitane and an item from their in-house My Little Beauty Range. The lifestyle items complemented the collaboration perfectly and I can’t wait to use the scarf to brighten up some of my autumn attire.
This month also see’s the addition of the My Little World Magazine and contains articles from Diane Von Furstenberg and some useful tips and tricks. There’s even some mouthwatering recipe ideas.
There’s also some great offers inside the box for DVF, Keratase and L’occitane.
I can’t wait for next month’s edition.
