LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #3 - July 2020


I re-subscribed to the LookFantastic Beauty Box in May and received my first box in June (Staycation Edition). I did enjoy that box so I decided to stay subscribed to see what July’s box (Sunkissed Edition) would have to offer. Last month’s box was a bag and this month we are back to the usual cardboard box. The six items should be worth over £65.00 altogether!

Here is what I received:-

MÁDARA Regenerating Night Cream
| 25ml - £17.00 |
This night cream is supposed to work best throughout the night, which is when your skin is best at repairing itself. It is supposed to help stimulate cell renewal, which should reduce fine lines and wrinkles. You should wake-up to brighter, more hydrated and more youthful-looking skin. I am interested in using this. I currently use a basic moisturiser at night, but I have been looking at upgrading to an actual night cream. I hope it is not too thick as I have used a night cream before and I could still feel it on my skin in the morning after applying it and my face felt a little congested, which is why I haven’t used a night cream since.
| Full Size: 50ml - £30.00 |

thisworks Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum
| 10ml - £12.33 |
This serum is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, which is supposed to reinvigorate your skins luminosity. Dullness, dehydration and fatigue should appear reduced and your skin should look brighter over time. This serum is targeted for use as a morning skincare product. I am into trying serums at the moment, but I don’t currently use one in the morning. I will give this one a go and I can still use my current one at night as this one is for morning use.
| Full Size: 30ml - £37.00 |

MONUspa Rose & Lemon Enriched Body Cream
| 100ml - £16.65 |
This body cream is enriched with ultra-nourishing vitamins and essential oils to relieve dryness and help your skin to feel more firm. I don’t use body creams or lotions because I am too lazy to apply them, don’t feel I need to use them and I don’t really like the feel of them on my skin. This one does smell so nice and fresh and I think I might use it. I will probably just start using it on my arms only first and then see how I feel about it. I hope the scent lingers on your skin!
| Full Size: 180ml - £29.95 |

Sleek MakeUp Matte Me Lip Cream in Bittersweet
| 6ml - £4.99 |
This is a matte liquid lipstick in a mauvy coral pink shade. It is supposed to easily glide onto your lips, feel comfortable and last for hours. I have heard that these lipsticks are mean’t to be quite good. Bittersweet is definitely not my kind of shade at the moment, so I will be passing this along. I would look at ordering one in a more suitable shade in the future (brown or warm nude).
| Full Size: 6ml - £4.99 |

MYVITAMINS Beauty Sleep Capsules
| 30 Capsules - £7.50 |
These vitamins contain a blend of minerals and herbs designed to support your sleep and the health of your hair, skin and nails. You should take one capsule thirty minutes before you go to bed. You should consult Doctor or Healthcare Professional before taking these vitamins.  I’ve heard very mixed reviews of this product. Some people swear by them and others seem to have actual nightmares instead of a peaceful and restful sleep! I’m not keen on subscription boxes offering vitamins and in my opinion they shouldn’t be offered. I am slightly annoyed that this is one of the items I received! During the pandemic, I have been struggling to get to sleep (insomnia), so I may experience benefits from using these vitamins and I am also intrigued as to whether they would cause me to have nightmares. I dream every night, but I’ve never experienced a nightmare during my adult life. I take prescription medications, so I would definitely have to consult a HC professional before considering trying them. Although I said I was disappointed at having received them, I haven’t actually ruled out trying them unless I am medically unable to do so.
| Full Size: 60 Capsules - £16.99 |

So Eco Blush Brush
| £7.50 |
This blush brush is made from sustainable materials and it is also vegan and cruelty-free. You can use it with powder or cream products. The bristles are very soft and it is slightly larger than I would normally use to apply my blush, but I will give it a go. I am mostly interested in trying it with my bronzer. You can use it to apply any face/base products really, although I wouldn’t recommend it for applying highlighter.
| Full Size - £7.50 |

Overall, I received another good box but it is skincare heavy like the previous one, but I am glad that there are no hair products! I won’t use the liquid lipstick because it is not a shade I currently wear and I am still undecided on the vitamins. My box this month is worth £65.97. I am staying subscribed, so I can’t wait to see what I receive next month.

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...

Serial Sampler #42

I have wanted to try this fragrance for a very long time and I have seen the advertisements with Charlize Theron countless times over the years. For some reason, I just didn’t look for it to test so I thought it was about time I did. I decided to purchase a sample online.   It is J’adore by Christian Dior and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ J’adore’s original composition is a sophisticated harmony blossoming from Comoro Islands Ylang-Ylang and Damascus Rose Essences and Jasmine Sambac Absolute. ” Launched: 1999   Type: Floral Fruity / Feminine Notes Top: Pear, Melon, Magnolia, Peach, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot. Middle: Jasmine, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Tuberose, Freesia, Rose, Orchid, Plum and Violet. Base: Musk, Vanilla, Blackberry and Cedar. My assumption before testing this fragrance is that it would smell like an old classic (old lady) floral. It is very floral, but you do get the hit of the fresh fruity notes. I can mostly detect the Magnoli...
