LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #4

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #4 - August 2020

Last month’s box was the Sunkissed Edition and this month we have the Radiance Edition with a coral and pink box. The six items inside the box should be worth over £55.00 altogether and there are two variants of boxes available this month. I received Variant 1, which just has a couple of different products to the ones in Variant 2 (this is apparently due to high demand of subscribers).

Here is what I received this month:-

AHAVA Deadsea Water Mineral Body Lotion

| 40ml - £8.00 |

This body lotion is supposed to be deeply hydrating and fast absorbing. It is also supposed to soften and smoot your skin, leaving your skin feeling revitalised refreshed and restored. I have said many times before; I do not like body lotions! I received a body butter last month and haven’t used that, so I probably won’t use this one either. It sounds great, but it is just not something I would appreciate using.

| Full Size: 250ml - £23.49 |

PERCY & REED Perfectly Perfecting Wonderbalm

| 30ml - £8.00 |

This hair primer is supposed to make your hair more manageable and add moisture, shine and definition. I’ve also previously said that I am not into hair products. I don’t currently feel as though I have need of this product. Should the need arise; I would consider giving it a go. I feel my hair is in good enough condition at the moment and I don’t usually struggle with styling. I actually wish my natural waves/slight curls (when my hair has naturally dried from being washed) were stronger and would last being slept on so I didn’t have to straighten it the day after washing it.

| Full Size: 75ml - £18.00 |

MIO Sun-Drenched Body Wash

| 30ml - £3.15 |

This body wash is supposed to deeply hydrate your skin. It contains Indian Fig Extract and Monk’s Pepper Berry, which are supposed to give you an instant soothing effect. It does smell citrusy which is quite nice. I do enjoy a good smelling body wash.

| Full Size: 200ml - £19.00 |

EYEKO Black Magic Mascara

| 4ml - £10.00 |

This mascara has a curved brush which is supposed to help you coat every lash and give you drama and curl. I have heard of this mascara before and I am interested in trying it. When I try it, I will probably do a ‘Serial Sampler’ post on it.

| Full Size: 8ml - £19.00 |

bellápierre Mineral Blush in Amaretto

| 6g - £15.00 |

This mineral blush is supposed to give you a natural healthy flush of colour. Amaretto is a rosy nude shade. This is a loose blush and it appears to have a little shimmer in it. I am not into loose powder products as they can be messy and I also do not like shimmer in my blushes, I love a good matte one. The shade is also not one I would currently wear; I am into light peaches and soft pinks. I will pass this product along to someone who will appreciate it.

| Full Size: 4g - £19.00 |

CAUDALIE Vinoperfect Radiance Serum

| 10ml - £15.33 |

This facial serum is full of Viniferine, which is apparently more effective than Vitamin C. It is also scientifically proven to lighten dark spots in four weeks. I have received a sample of this in a subscription box before, but I never used it. I will give it a go this time as I am in to trying different facial serums at the moment. I was also considering purchasing a full size bottle of it not that long ago, when I finished up my Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum.

| Full Size: 30ml - £46.00 |

Overall, it is a good box but I will most likely only use half of the products I received! I will give the body wash, mascara and serum a go, but that will be it. I really do not like body lotions or hair care products. My box this month is worth £59.48. Again, I am staying subscribed for now and there is actually a sneak peek for next month’s box.

The Sneak Peek for September’s Box is that you should receive a 15ml tube of the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (worth £30.00).

Beauty Bakerie Lip Whips & Remover

I had wanted to try these lipsticks for a very long time, but I was sceptical as I had heard mixed reviews. Some people love them, some people dislike them. I had also heard that they are very hard to remove, which leads me to believe that the staying power must be there. My current favourite liquid lipsticks are still the JSC Velour ones and nothing else I have tried has topped them yet, a couple of brands have come close though! ABOUT THE PRODUCTS The packaging of the lipsticks is simple, but aesthetically pleasing; I like the blue accent caps. It is made out of plastic and there is something inside the tube to make the formula looked twisted in the tube, which is a nice detail that I haven’t seen before. The applicator is a little pear shaped sponge with a little well in the middle to hold the product. The packaging of the remover is also pretty simple and cute. The container is made of lightweight plastic and you could easily repurpose it once you have used up the wipes. You get 3...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
