I have always liked the idea of treats
coming through the post, whether an unexpected gift or a subscription box (like
the cosmetic ones that are popular right now).
So when Modestrove asked if I would like to try one of their Mystery Boxes, I jumped at the chance.
It all seems rather glamorous, something
which I don't feel at all. Having to do
wudhu regularly limits how much make-up I can wear and spending time running
from school, to work to kitchen means practical shoes and clothing for me.
I received the box through the post within
a day or two and it came well packaged.
The
Modestrove Mystery Boxes all come in this sturdy pink box with the Modestrove
London logo. Little Lady had asked if
she can have it to keep her things in afterwards.
I liked the details, like the wrapping paper and the greeting card in the box.
The
Mystery Boxes come in £10, £30, £60, £90 and £100 versions. The website doesn't give any hint of what is
in the mystery boxes, so I was super curious to find out what could be in them. I received the £30 version to try and this
was what was inside:
Three
scarves in differing textures and colours.
The scarves were a nice quality and size, the smoky taupe coloured one
in the middle is my favourite as it's quite a neutral colour and will go nicely
with party outfits. The scarves are not
ones that are on the Modestrove website to the moment, so these seem unique to
the boxes.
The Taherah soap (normally retails at £4) looks ordinary at first
glance, but is described as containing vitamins A, C & E, clay, mineral
salts such as magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, seaweed, palm oil and
sandalwood. I haven't tried it yet, but
look forward to it. Little Man is
started to get his first spots (in time for turning into a teen next month), so
I may let him try this one. The
sandalwood means that the smell is not overly feminine and quite fresh.
I am a
fan of matte stay-on lip glosses, so liked the addition of this. This colour (the Miami Rose shade which is normally £12) looks like a
slightly corally pink on first look and the swatch is consistent with this, but
went on a very bright pink (more like a bubble gum pink).
It was a
really nice treat getting a Mystery Box through the post. The contents of the box were not necessarily
items I would have bought myself, but I enjoyed receiving them. Perhaps a good gift idea for those that like
surprises, the girl who has everything or for the gift giver who can’t decide
what to give.
