Margot Elena Fall 2019 Review
This box comes with a card detailing all of the items included. As usual, the floral illustrations are stunning.
We have so many pretty things to see.

Happy Home Made with Love Apron - Listed Value $32.00
I always wear an apron when cooking a larger meal, mainly because I am a disaster of a person and I am constantly spilling things, wiping my hands, and just creating a large mess. I have an older plain linen one that I have relied on for years, but this floral cotton number is significantly more festive! I just love these big, bold flowers in the bright color palette. Because this design relies more on teal and tan than green, it feels totally appropriate for fall and winter without being drab. The quality is great too, and there are even little embroidered elements within the center of the flowers.

Happy Home Made with Love Kitchen Towel - Listed Value $20.00
I am pretty happy to see a coordinating towel. It is made out of the same heavier cotton fabric and is finished with a bold red hem embroidery. It is beautiful enough to drape on the front of my stove handle or wrap warm bread in for the table itself.

Lollia Always In Rose Perfumed Shower Gel, 8 fl oz - Retail Value $22.00
This is a new fragrance from Margot Elena, and as a rose lover, I am totally into it! The majority of this scent is a natural and clean rose petal explosion, but there are also amber and hibiscus notes that make it tart, sophisticated, and a little sexy! I am always happy when I get a big tube of shower gel in this box because I use them daily when I am not testing out other shower gels or body washes from boxes. They leave my skin lightly perfumed and feeling really fresh. The gel texture is thick and has a thick lather, especially when you combine with a loofa.

The Cottage Greenhouse Violette Fig & Black Currant Body Lotion, 8 oz - Retail Value $28.00
The packaging for The Cottage Greenhouse line always reminds me of a little French cottage. It is so giftable! This scent happens to be one of my mom's favorites, so I will be gifting this to her as a "just because" sort of present. This scent is one of those that I find perfect for fall because the fig is balanced with a warm honey fragrance that is soothing and comforting. This is a lighter lotion which is perfect for Mom since she wears gloves all day at work and just needs a little moisture here and there throughout the day.

Lollia Dream Little Lux Eau de Parfum with Lollia Pouch, 0.16 fl oz - Listed Value $11.00 (Buy the perfume alone for $9.50)
This little bottle is super cute and perfect for travel. The notes are white tea, honeysuckle, linden, and bergamot, but I always seem to notice a super girly powder note in this scent. While it isn't my usual fare, I do love a fresh, almost laundry-like scent to layer with some of my warmer vanilla perfumes. It has a super familiar quality that is really comforting and nostalgic to me.

Neptune & The Mermaid Age of Aquarius Lip Balm, 0.22 oz - Listed Value $10.00 (Buy a trio of balms for $30.00)
Look at this packaging! I love the nautical and floral vibes and that cute octopus! The balm is clear and very hydrating, and has a sweet fruity scent. The pot itself is made of heavy glass and capped with a gold lid.

Lollia 'At Last' Travel Size Shea Butter Handcreme, 1.25 oz - Retail Value $15.00
These metal tubes of heavy duty hand cream are one of my favorite products from the whole M.E. line. My hands love this formula! It is over-the-top creamy, hydrating, and the scents are on the stronger side. This particular one has notes of white florals and rice flower. I found it to be a little musky, floral, and also a little powdery. It feels very much like a sister scent to "Dream" above, but is different enough to make its own impression.

Infinite Beauty Sea Mud Clay Facial Masque - Listed Value $12.00
My face is very dry, so I don't generally indulge in many clay masks because they just sap all moisture from my skin. This envelope is resealable, and filled with a dry clay powder, which makes it really useful if you only want to use it as a spot treatment. Simply add a few drops of water, mix, and apply! I did use this on my T-zone and a random zit and I was great for those specific areas. I can only imagine that if you have an oilier complexion, you will love this even more.

TokyoMilk Signature Stationery Set - Listed Value $22.00
Margot Elena always has the cutest cards. More often than not, they are also quite cheeky, which suits me just fine. Each of these features a vintage style illustration with glitter embellishment. Most M.E. cards are $5.50 each, so this listed value makes total sense.

TokyoMilk Bon Bon Bubble Bath Mini, 2.5 fl oz - Listed Value $8.00 (Buy a trio for $24.00)
I wish this had been a bigger bottle mainly because I loved the fragrance! It has a lot of citrus happening with notes of flowers and woods peeking out and grabbing my nose. It was oh-so bubbly and made for quite the luxurious bath! Will brought me roses home a week or so ago and I grabbed some of those petals and tossed them into all those bubbles and didn't leave the bath until the water got cold. Basically the perfect Sunday morning ritual!

Library of Flowers 'Willow and Water' Parfum Crema, 2.5 oz - Retail Value $21.00
Willow and Water is easily one of my favorite Margot Elena scents. I received a body scrub in this scent this past spring, and I am still obsessed with this smell. I think it might be because the scent reminds me of a more water-based Tocca Florence, an older favorite that I recently bought a new bottle of. To my nose, it also has something in common with OUAI's Rue St Honore, but again, this feels much more watery and slightly less powdery. All three of these scents are ones I have been dabbling with ever since I randomly decided I like white floral perfumes, a huge change for someone who more often used to wear men's colognes! Maybe they all smell distinctly French in some way? Hmm... Either way, I love this! Since it is a cream perfume, just a little bit goes a long way in terms of scent power, so reserve this for your wrists, neck, or anywhere you would normally apply a fragrance.
Verdict: If you love beautifully packaged and highly fragranced bath and body products, you really can't go wrong with Margo Elena. Everything is so over-the-top lush and pretty! This quarter was one of my favorites so far, mainly because I absolutely adored that apron. And a matching towel? I am done! The bath and body products were all hits for me too, and that shower gel arrived at the perfect time since my old one just ran out. This is such a treat yourself kind of box, but if you are feeling more generous than I am, it would also be a great purchase to divvy up into presents for others. I plan on hoarding all of this to myself though! The overall value of this box is around $201, making it an awesome value for a $49.99 box.
