LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #1 - September 2014

I was shopping on LookFantastic and I came across a page for their own beauty box, advertised for £15. Shipping would be free and the value of the box would exceed £50! There was a limited amount available and it let me pre-order the September box. I was expecting some make-up items, because from experience £50 doesn’t spread very far if you have an expensive taste in cosmetics and thought the box would have less expensive brands included.
The box itself is a lot like a Glossybox, but bigger and it feels more luxury. When you open it up it has the tissue paper and sticker fastening and when explored, reveals the selection of products. You also get product info cards, which tell you a bit about each product. I thought the box would be more exciting, but for an all beauty junkie, it would be a dream box. Here it what you get inside the LookFantastic Beauty Box for September 2014:-
ST TROPEZ SELF TAN Bronzing Mousse (50ml)
| £30.64 (240ml) - St-Tropez.com |
I can tell you straight away that this is a product I will not be using! I don’t use fake tan and I don’t see the need, I am pale and proud. My Sister on the other hand will love this.

thisworks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray (5ml)
| £16 (75ml) - thisworks.com |
I am excited to try this as I currently use the Planet Spa one and I find that they really help. This one does smell slightly different though.

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum (15ml)
| £45 (30ml) - Jurlique.co.uk |
I am always interested in trying new serums and this one smells lovely.

CAUDALÍE Divine Oil (15ml)
| £17.50 (50ml) - UK.Caudalie.com |
I’m sure I’ve had a sample of this before from another beauty box, but I can’t remember for definite. I think I will give this a go this time, as I don’t like the idea of oils for your face, but this product can be used for all over your body and in your bath.

KÉRASTASE Bain Satin 1 (80ml)
| £17 (250ml) - Kerastase-USA.com |
&
KÉRASTASE Lait Vital (75ml)
| £20 (200ml) - Kerastase-USA.com |
I am not interested in these at all! I don’t like trying hair care products and I prefer using 2-in-1 products for shampoo and conditioners. The shampoo slightly interests me, but not enough for me to give it a try.
This is a good box and I am glad that I have tried it. A box like this is mostly wasted on me because the brand/product range is brilliant, but I am a make-up girl and this is what this month’s box lacked! I will not buy October’s box, but I would recommend this service to anyone who loves skincare and hair care products. Knowing my luck October’s box will contain make-up!

What are your thoughts on this box?

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

Serial Sampler #31

This is a new perfume release for this year. I came across it by pure chance when I was asked to choose some free samples when I made a FeelUnique.com order. This scent was one of the two I chose to receive. It is Irresistible by GIVENCHY and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ Rose effervescent. Luscious rose dancing with radiant blond wood ” It contains a mixture of notes such as; Pear, Ambrette, Rose, Iris, Virginia Cedar and Musk. When it is first sprayed, it kind of smells like soap. As it starts to dry down, it still smells slightly soapy but the ambrette, rose, iris and musk notes start to peek through. Once it has fully dried down it smells less soapy and more florally. It is definitely a more soft mature scent. It does smell nice, fresh and does remind me of spring. It isn’t a scent I am typically drawn to, so I probably will not buy a bottle of it. I would say the ambrette, rose and musk are the strongest notes. You can buy it in 35ml (...

Serial Sampler #32

I received this perfume sample for FREE when I spent over a certain amount of money on a LookFantastic.com order. I actually purchased the full sized bottle (90ml) of the Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum.   It is My Way by Armani and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   It contains a mixture of notes such as; Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Indian Jasmine, Madagascar Vanilla, White Musk and Virginian Cedar. This strikes me as a mature scent. It smells like something I have tested before, but I can’t quite recall the name of it. It is a very delicate and light fragrance and is definitely floral based. It is not my typical scent, but I do appreciate it. I can really smell the bergamot, tuberose, jasmine and musk notes. I would recommend it, but I personally wouldn’t wear it.   You can buy it in 30ml (£55/$74), 50ml (£76/$97) and 90ml (£103/$126) and it is available at places such as; ArmaniBeauty.co.uk and Sephora.   | I received this sampl...
