I decided to re-subscribe to the
LookFantastic Beauty Box and I pre-ordered my June box on 22nd May.
It arrived yesterday (3rd June) and I couldn’t wait to unbox it. My
first and last LF Beauty Box was September 2014; I can’t believe it has nearly
been six years! I initially un-subscribed due to the price (£15.00) and I
mostly received skin care items and at the time, I was only really interested
in make-up.
I already saw a sneak peek for the June
box (Staycation Edition), which is why I re-subscribed (the May box was sold
out anyway). It was to supposed to be worth over £61.00 and the items would
arrive in a travel bag. I knew I would receive a shower gel and possibly a hair
brush as they were pictured. The postage for Look Fantastic is usually £2.95,
but I believe it is free for Beauty Box subscriptions only. Here is what I
received:-
LookFantastic Beauty Bag
| £12.00 |
This is a cute aqua blue
zipped travel bag, which contains the rest of the beauty products. It looks and
feels like it is good quality and it is re-usable. It is not available to
purchase singularly as it has been made especially for this month’s beauty box.

Full Size - £12.00 |
Polȧar Very High Protection Sun Lotion SPF50+
| 20ml - £13.44 |
This sun cream should be
lightweight and non-greasy in texture and apply easily to sink into the skin
quickly and offer strong protection from sun damage. As this is a small sample
tube, I would probably use it just for my face to test it out, I’m not sure if
it would do my whole body. Most base make-up products already contain SPF in
them, but this will be good for my no make-up days when I am relaxing in the
garden. If you live in a hotter country, you could probably apply this before
face primer as extra protection. If you have the full size tube, you could
apply it all over your body. There are definitely cheaper sun creams/lotions
available that would offer the same, if not better protection.

Full Size: 50ml - £18.83 |
MOLTON BROWN Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel Bath &
Shower Gel
| 100ml - £10.00 |
This body wash is supposed to
leave your skin feeling fresh, nourished, moisturised, revitalised, pampered
and smelling amazing. It is delicately scented. It does smell very nice. The
scent is kind of masculine and like aftershave, very sexy. I will definitely
use this, I love a good smelling body wash and masculine scents tend to be
stronger and linger on the skin longer. I’m not sure if it will be worth the
price tag though, as generally I cannot smell body wash on my skin after my
shower anyway and you don’t need to spend a lot to get a nicely scented body
wash. Also, it doesn’t really matter if the scent lingers on your skin as that
is what deodorant, body sprays and perfumes are for!

Full Size: 300ml - £22.00 |
Josh Wood Colour Everything Mask
| 30ml - £6.00 |
This is a hair mask and it
is supposed to lock-in hair colour, add shine, hydrate and deeply condition. It
is described as a ‘does-it-all’ treatment and is suitable for all hair colours
and types. It’s not something that would have interested me before because I
don’t like using separate hair products. I usually use an all in one shampoo
and conditioner. I have always coloured my hair anyway and so should really use
something like this. I will give it a go, I haven’t really got an excuse not to
try it and I have all the time in the world at the moment to test it out.

Full Size: 140ml - £19.00 |
Ultrasun SPF30 Lip Protect
| 4.8g - £8.00 |
This lip balm is supposed to
reduce inflammation as well as moisturise and protect your lips from sun
damage. It contains argan oil and shea butter. It doesn’t really have a scent,
but an SPF lip balm always comes in handy. I will keep this as a back-up for
when my current one runs out. This one also has a higher SPF than my current
one, bonus!
|
Full Size: 4.8g - £8.00 |
GLOV Rainbow Drop Brush
| £10.00 |
This brush is designed to be
used on wet and dry hair. It is supposed to glide through your hair without
pulling or tugging. It fits in the palm of your hand and is the perfect size
for travelling and detangling your hair on the go. I’ve had a brush like this
before, but it was bigger. I swapped my old one out for a Tangle Teezer one
with a handle as my hair is quite long and I find it easier to brush through it
with a brush that has a handle. I typically only use my Tangle Teezer to brush
through my hair when it is wet or to brush a hair mask through it. I will keep
hold of this little brush for now as it looks perfect for travelling, so it may
come in handy. It did glide through my dry hair very easily when I tested it.

Full Size - £10.00 |
SHANGPREE Aroma Blend Moisture Mask
| 1 Mask/30ml - £2.50 |
There were two different sheet
masks available for this box and this is the one I was sent. It is supposed to leave
your skin feeling softer and hydrated as well as with a little glow. This mask
contains rosa damascena flower water, ylang ylang oil and rosewood oil. I have
used sheet masks before and I’m not overly sure how they are different to
regular masks. I will give this a go soon, I am hoping it smells nice as I am
not overly keen on rose scents.

Full Size: 1 Mask/30ml - £2.50 |
I think that this is the first ever
beauty subscription box I’ve received where I would actually use all of the
products! To be fair, I wasn’t really into skincare before and only wanted to
receive make-up to try. I will stay subscribed to see what the July box brings,
but I won’t stay subscribed for a long period of time. I would just receive too
many products and end up with a drawer full again, plus I would probably still
end up receiving products I am not interested in and end up giving them all
away again. My box ended up being worth £61.94, however, there are two
different prices quoted for the lip balm. If the lip balm is in fact worth only
£6.00, then my box as a whole would actually only be worth £59.94 instead of
the £61.00 promised. Either way, I’m not that bothered over the possible £1.06
difference.
