Oui Please is a luxury subscription box company where you receive full sized French products bimonthly. I was gifted a yearly subscription, probably because J kept hearing me say “one day, we’ll go to France and we’ll [insert a must see place or must eat food here]”. I have to share that I stayed in a quaint little apartment in the heart of Paris and when I walked in, I saw signs on the wall from Hollywood and New York City. Humorously beautiful isn’t it? Both sides of the world, admiring each other. People often ask me if I miss France. I would love to go back but I feel like there is so much more I need to see first! There are several destinations on the top of my list before I revisit any country. I will settle for presents from France for now. The Oui Please box is darling because it introduces carefully curated French brands I have never heard of, and I can trust that the brands are good quality. Below I listed the contents of my box since each box is different. I also included a short review for the items that I had time to test. Check out Toby helping me examine my present. I am already dying in anticipation of the next box!
Tassia Canellis – Way Ring ($60) I am a lover of simple dainty jewelry and this is most certainly dainty. This ring is different from any rings I own (because I own maybe 3 rings) and it adorably compliments my pretty diamond promise ring when stacked.
Oliv’ La Claree – Radiance Elixer 0.5 Fl. Oz. ($50) I was so skeptical of putting oil on my face! It seems a little counter productive. Directions say 5 drops before using moisturizer but I felt that 3 was plenty! I would do 1 or 2 drops next time. My foundation seems to blend more easily but we will see if it causes break outs. Also the glass container and dropper are GORGEOUS.
Oliv’ La Claree – Beauty Oil 2.5 Fl. Oz. ($35) This beauty oil smells like bubblegum and comes in a cute little can package. It is initially a little greasy but then absorbs leaving skin very smooth and silky feeling.
La Fare 1789 – Succulent Foot Cream ($15) I just had to laugh at the description reading “for succulent feet”. The two definitions of succulent I found for succulent refer to succulent plants, or food (tender, juicy and tasty). I can’t wait to have tender juicy feet (insert crying laughing emoji).
Panier Des Sens – Hand Cream, Energizing Verbana ($15) A thick rich cream with a pleasant scent. The packaging reminds me of L’Occitane but I like the texture of Panier des Sens better.
Rose et Marius – L’Eau de Mademoiselle Rose Fleurie ($15)
Rose et Marius – L’Eau de Marius Brune ($15) Both Rose et Marius soaps are a little too earthy for me, but will make cute decorative hand soaps as the pattern imprinted on top is very beautiful.
Plantes et Parfums – Ventoux Collection – Provence Lavender Flower Sachet 1.8 Oz ($15) Unfortunately my sachet was broken, undone at the seam when I received it. I opened my Oui Please box and the fragrance of lavender burst all around me like I had stepped into a field with lovely rows of lavender.
Epicerie de Provence – Honey From Provence Candy Jar ($15) Tastes like honey at first, then it kind of tastes like caramel.
Pop-Up Paris Candle – Flashing Meadow ($35) The scent is okay, but the prospect of finding a diamond in my candle is so exciting (1 in 50 candles has a diamond hidden in the wax)!
Atelier Cologne – Vanille Insensee ($25) A strong vanilla scent, a little too strong for me.
Southys Paris – Gommage Exfoliant Biological Skin Peeling ($34)
Southys Paris – Matt Eyeshadow 20 Taupe This eyeshadow is encased in super luxurious packaging, wrapped in a felt pouch similar to how Chanel products are packaged. ($16?)
Southys Paris – Nail Polish ($16)
Southys Paris – Mascara ($30)
Total Estimated Value: $391 (The Southys products didn’t include prices and were difficult to find online)
I am so glad I don’t hate anything in my box. Initially I planned to give away the things that weren’t my style as little gift “stocking stuffers” but it looks like I’m going to keep mostly everything for myself.
I don’t mind that my box included items from previous boxes because I was really hoping to try some Southys products and I also wanted the candle because diamonds are my best friend. The thing that disappointed me was that Oui Please had “trouble with receiving their shipment of products due to a delay in US customs” which in turn caused a delay of receiving my box. I wouldn’t have been so disappointed if I were notified of the delay of shipping, but the company never notified me of any such thing. I had to email them to find out. I wished they could have been more up front and sent out notices, so people knew what was going on. I was very offended not because of the shipping delay, but because the company didn’t trust that I could be understanding of such a circumstance and chose to pretend nothing was wrong.
bisous, mais à l’heure la prochaine fois!
