French Box brings the latest beauty secrets, lifestyle items, and recipes from France every month. It’s $24 per month and you can save $10 on your first box when you use coupon code G7POXFK8Y9. The packaging for this box is really gorgeous so I took a lot of photos. A couple advisory notes. There were significant variations in this box for different subscribers. And also I hate coffee.

The box is basically the same as a GLOSSYBOX. High quality and darling.IMG_6432

And the inside!IMG_6435

A recipe came with the box too.IMG_6436

Those little tours d’Eiffel with bows. I die. YAY France. And that’s where the love ends. To be honest when I opened the outer box I was like WTF IS THAT SMELL.IMG_6437

There was coffee all over the place. Grody. I not only hate drinking coffee, the smell is vile.IMG_6438

Also, this box was weird. There was the bracelet, which I’ve seen before (it was in the September box), a magnet with a cell phone charm (REALLY are the French not using le iPhone?? because I am pretty damned sure that there’s no spot on my gorgeous and sleek gold and white iPhone 6 for a cell phone charm), a foil packet from Guerlain, and a fragrance sample. The Pier Auge Radiant Mask is full size and high value ($43.50) and the Segafredo Cafe de Paris coffee has a value of $6 (with a description by that online coffee store that it’s an Arabica coffee at a cheap price). I was really expecting a notebook and compact that others had received and to say I was disappointed was an understatement. Because of the mask this box the November French Box has a good value, but it needs improvement.

    I got the notebook and compact, I actually thought the notebook was really cute. The box was a little underwhelming, but still got the value out of the box. I don’t drink coffee either, I’m giving it to my bf. My coffee spilled out in the box too and I emailed customer service and they sent a replacement coffee out the next day. So the customer service seems pretty fantastic. I’ll just gift it for Christmas.

    So glad to know there’s someone else out there who feels the same way about coffee I do. People look at me like I’m crazy when I say I hate coffee. But I totally agree — the smell is vile, as is the taste.

      Heh. Yes blaaaaah to coffee! It does not help that my husband loves it but since we first got together until now I have made him cut back from a lot to one large cup a day. I wish I at least liked the smell because it would make some experiences not unpleasant.

      my only debate is whether to go for one box or a year.
