Details:  Every other month, LLB sends a themed box with fashion and beauty items.


This Month's Inspiration:  Coco Chanel, who famously said "A girl should be two things, classy & fabulous".


This Month's Box Included the Following:

1.  Watercolor Print Silk Scarf - RV $45.99
2.  Kitsch Ring - RV $24.99
3.  Lucy B's Apothecary - Nail Lacquer in Starlet - RV $12.99

5.  The Packable Summer Hat by San Diego Hat Co. - RV $27.99 

TOTAL RETAIL VALUE = $131.95

A Closer Look:


Watercolor Print Silk Scarf - RV $45.99


As you can see from the photo above, this scarf is very bright!  It's silk and is definitely a throwback to a past era.  It is summer and bright colors are definitely in.  I'm just not sure how this scarf fits into my daily wardrobe.  I may end up tying it onto my purse like the photo on the insert shows.

Kitsch Ring - RV $24.99


This ring is unlike anything I own.  I like that it's adjustable.  I'm just not really sure it's my style.  I'm afraid it will get snagged on my clothes, purse, etc. too.  It's made with 14K Gold, which is nice.  I'm hoping this piece will grow on me.  :)

Lucy B's Apothecary - Nail Lacquer in Starlet - RV $12.99


Nail polish fits with the Coco Chanel themed box, but honestly, I'm so tired of getting nail polishes in subscription boxes (especially off-brands like this one).  It barely shows up at all unfortunately when swatched.

Pour Some Sugar Scrub on Me in Coconut Mango Mimosa - RV $19.99


This is my favorite item out of this box!  


This scrub smells sooo good!  (Like pineapple and tropical fruit).  It instantly makes me feel like I'm in the tropics drinking a margarita!  I LOVE this scrub!!

The Packable Summer Hat by San Diego Hat Co. - RV $27.99 

The hat - oopf!  It's nice that it has a Velcro closure, but it's just not my style at all.  Putting it on made me feel much older than my years.

VERDICT:  I was sooo excited for this box to arrive after seeing previous month's boxes, but this one was a miss for me.  (I was hoping for cutesy household items, a strand of pearls, a glamorous hair pin, or a little jewelry/trinket box or something).  I liked the sugar scrub, but other than that, was not a huge fan of anything else that was included in the box.  The theme for the August 2015 box is "Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy".  Hopefully it will be a better fit for me than this one was.

Have you checked out Little Lace Box yet?  If so, what did you think? 

XOXO,
Stephanie

  1. I agree with you 110%! I love LLB and I was also disappointed in this months box. To think I almost did not get this months box due to an error with my payment but it was worked out and I ended up with the box...too bad I didn't check reviews prior BUT who doesn't love surprises; right? I am hopeful that the August box with be awesome!
