Got mine!  It's a nice box.

Not as good for me personally as last month's and everything is going to pale in comparison to the Little Lace Box that I got yesterday, but it's a decent box. 

 
Okay,here ya go!

There is a full sized bag of coffee,,,the freeze dried kind, I think; one of those hard blocky things.

A foil packet of Guerlain Parure de Lumiere foundation (I am bummed as I was hoping for perfume from Guerlain but y'all may be more excited!)

Some sort of treatment mask form Douce Aurora, could be full sized 1.68 oz, in a tube.

A really cute compact mirror, quite large and heavy with little Parisian illustration/doodle type things

Some sort of doodad from the Lido, it's a hanging thing, no clue what it is, if it were heavier I'd say maybe a key chain but it's too light for that. Also a small square flat magnet with the Lido logo on it. These two items came in a draw string bag with the French Box logo on it. I assume they were put in there because there are small, but it was sort of anti climactic to reach in to the bag and find fairly meh items!

And then the usual cute postcard and a recipe card.

I guess I don't know how to do pictures uploaded from my computer :\

Anyway, I was underwhelmed.

I got a bag of coffee, pier auge treatment mask for face, foil sample of Guerlian, perfume spritzer of Leonard, a Lido hardback notebook that is very banged up and a Paris mirrored compact.
 
Yes, they can't all the be the best box ever! It was a nice mix again.

Problem for me is, I don't drink coffee or wear foundation, and I think I'd have rather had a banged up notebook than this little thing I got that I can't identify!   :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm kind of eager to get home and see what I got.  I don't drink coffee either and I'm so pale, foundation samples don't usually work out for me.  It's the hangtag that has me curious.  I'm kind of hoping I get that just to see what it is.

The mirror sounds like a cute item but I think I have another one coming in a sub box soon and I just got one from Sephora too.  I haven't even looked at the one in my Birchbox Mermaid box yet.  Maybe I can put a string around each one and hang them on a Christmas tree.  I'm getting quite a collection!

 
I read the spoilers before I rec'd my box and was disappointed; but, after I had the box in my hands, I found the items charming.  Less makeup than the previous 2 boxes, but I really like it!

 
I don't believe I have ever used a mask that is not recommended to rinse off but rather to rub in. Sounds more like a rich moisturizer. But that will be fine with me as that is what I really need anyway. I do love coffee. The mirror is too heavy to add to my purse, but it is really cute. I'm trying to find the bright spots. They can't all be LLB. 

 
Here is my box. I have a different variation from MSA's box

For some reason my notebook smell really gross. :/ Like I don't even want to open it again because it smells so bad. I'm going to email them and see what they say.

When I opened my box I was disappointed and very pleased at the same time. I loved all items I got but I felt like something was missing. (later I realized bonus Sothys wasn't there ) Still it is a good box. I am so happy for coffee and mask! This kind of mask (rub in)are my favorite (Nuxe in December Glossybox is the same kind of mask) And it is totally new brand to me, I never even heard of it! Mirror and notesbook are so cute. And both perfume and make up sample will be used. Value is also there. So my third Frenchbox and counting :)

 
@@PrettyAndWitty  your box is identical to mine.

I smelled my notebook but it just smells like binding paste to me.

But when I opened it to smell, the notebook part separated from the back and ripped off.  Not too high quality in that case :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Although I did see that they sell these in the LIDO bookshop on their website.

 
Well alrighy then! Thanks to @@Saffyra mentioning the shop, I realize now that [SIZE=14.3999996185303px]my dangly thing is a phone charm![/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.3999996185303px]Perhaps someone can now explain to MeeMaw what a phone [/SIZE]charm[SIZE=14.3999996185303px] is?  :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />[/SIZE][SIZE=14.3999996185303px] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.3999996185303px]I mean, I get that you hang it on your phone, but...where? And how?[/SIZE]

 
I received the same box as PrettyandWitty. Since I work for a French company, my co-workers will crack up if I use the compact :)    Overall I still really like this subscription box - nice variety, great shipping/customer service and gorgeous packaging.   

 
Love this mask!! This is why I originally started subscriptions; to find great new products. I don't know what benefits I will see long term, but it sure feels wonderful right now. This product alone well worth it!
