Oh gosh, again I saw online a lot of negativity around this month’s box. And while it’s not actually terrible, it is disappointing. Though I will use it all, so can I really complain? I pay £13 a month and I definitely get my money’s worth out of it, as everything gets used.

But it felt a bit too niche, and meh. But that’s just my opinion. You may love it, or hate it worse than me. So what did they give us this month.

Call me daft, but this was one of the items I was weirded out by, it feels so unseasonable, I would have expected mini egg style pastels, sunny yellow, baby blues. But Dark Red. Now my gothic heart likes it, but it doesn’t sit right for a March/Easter time box.
