I received my OuiPlease box. Here is my review
1. Codage eau micellaire – This came in a box that had the top sealed with a sticker, but the bottom was not sealed with a sticker. It was easy for me to remove the product from the bottom of the packaging without damaging the sticker on top. Obviously, if this sticker is there to let consumers know their product hasn’t been tampered with, it’s not working. When I unscrewed the cap, there was no safety seal. This could have easily been tampered with. Does anyone know if this product comes this way, or if I have something that may have been tampered with?
Rose & Marius soap – lovely
Elissance nail polish trio – I may use at least 2 of these colors, however, when I brushed a layer on my nail to see how the color would look, I noticed little cracks on the surface when it dried. Will have to test to see if that goes away with more coats.
l’Aurore melts and burner – people have complained about the burner. It doesn’t look like what is pictured, but it’s still a nice burner. It’s white with little holes cut out of the sides in a geometric flower pattern. It’s substantial too. I am so happy they included a burner. To go they extra mile, I wish they had included a tealight candle as well. Now I have to buy candles for it.
Bracelet – I was able to request which charm I wanted, and I did receive that charm. The downside is that the bracelet looked very cheap. I need a size 7.25 in a bracelet, and for me, there were places where the elastic showed through, which looked tacky. I tried to wear it as a necklace and found that it had kinks in it an didn’t lay flat. I was overjoyed to see that the charm can be detached and easily attached to another chain!
Dao biscuits – Never received these. Instead, I got a box of OUI Palmiers. They were definitely one of the worst cookies I’ve ever tasted. No flavor – certainly no butter flavor – and barely sweet. I wouldn’t have minded the lack of sugar if they had a buttery flavor to them instead of no flavor at all. Like flaky cardboard.
passport holder – This was a poor quality passport holder. Don’t even think I’ll be able to swap this one. It’s destined for the charity shop.
I am so disappointed in this box. I wanted to love it. I looked at the past boxes when deciding to subscribe – Les Néréides jewelry! La Cocotte dishes and bags! – What happened? The bracelet is clearly something I could buy at Target for 5 bucks. Save your money and wait for another French subscription box to take this ones place.
