LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #5 - September 2020

Last month’s box was the Sunkissed Edition and this month we have the Birthday Edition with a peach, white and gold themed box. It is LookFantastic’s sixth birthday this month. The six items inside the box should be worth over £77.00 altogether and there is an extra free gift included!

Here is what I received this month:-

brush works Jade Roller
| £9.99 |
This face roller is supposed to alleviate puffiness and tension in the face. You can use it to massage serums, moisturisers and face masks into the skin. I already own a face roller and I do use it a few times a week. I notice a slight difference when I’ve used it. I will give this one a go as it is quite different to the one I already have. This one has a smaller roller on one side that might be better for under my eyes.
| Full Size - £9.99 |

ESPA Pink Hair and Scalp Mud
| 30ml - £5.10 |
This hair mask is a mineral rich treatment mask that is supposed to deeply condition, to leave hair soft and smooth and the scalp nourished. It should be suitable for all hair types, but mostly targeted towards dry or weak hair. I don’t really use hair care products. I don’t generally have the time or patience to use them. I use a conditioner every time I wash my hair anyway and I also colour my hair, so I already use a colour treatment conditioner. I don’t currently feel the need to try this product out. It does smell nice though!
| Full Size: 180ml - £34.00 |

ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream
| 15ml - £30.00 |
I knew I was going to receive this product as I saw I sneak peek last month. This day cream has anti-ageing properties using a concentrate of Padina Pavonica (marine extract), which should transform your skin. It contains antioxidants that should improve collagen production to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I am interesting in giving this a try. I don’t really have any fine lines and wrinkles, but I am all for prevention. Padina Pavonica is an algae/seaweed.
| Full Size: 50ml - £87.00 |

ILLAMASQUA Beyond Powder in OMG
| 2g - £10.00 |
This highlighter is a shimmering champagne shade that is supposed to warm the skin and illuminate the high points of the face to reflect light. It is best worn on the top of cheek bones, brow bones and collar bones. I did lightly swatch this product and it appears lightly pigmented. I think it might be too subtle for my liking and I also already own far too many highlighters! I will pass this on to someone who will use and appreciate it more. It is a pretty shade though!
| Full Size: 7g - £34.00 |

Diego Dalla Palma Lip Pencil in Antique Pink (80)
| SIZE UNKNOWN - £9.32 |
This lip liner has a precise tip, which should help define the lips and give strong colour payoff. You can blend it all over your lips for a matte finish that should last hours. Antique Pink is a dusty mauve pink shade. I don’t use lip liners, but this one does feel creamy, even with the sharp tip. I’m not sure how precise the tip would be after it has been sharpened a few times though!
| Full Size: 1.5g - £15.50 |

LUXIE Large Shader Brush (209)
| £15.00 |
This brush is suitable for use with cream and powder eyeshadows. This bristles are soft and synthetic. The bristles do feel really soft and it quite stiff, which I like in a synthetic brush. I don’t currently have a brush like it and it is not too big, so I will keep it and give it a whirl.
| Full Size - £15.00 |

LookFantasic BEAUTYBOX Pop Socket
| FREE GIFT |
This is the extra free gift included for LookFantastic’s birthday. It is a nice idea and good addition, but I do not use pop sockets.
| Full Size - PURCHASE UNAVAILABLE |
There was a good variety of products in this box, but sadly I won’t be able to make use of some of them. I am still looking forward to trying out the products I am keeping though. My box was worth £79.41 this month. I am looking forward to next month’s box as the sneak peek product seems interesting.

I have also purchased the LOOKFANTASTIC Advent Calendar for 2020. It is currently available on pre-order for £85.00. Beauty Box subscribers get a £15.00 discount on it if they use their code (I used mine). Information on how to get your code is in the Beauty Edit leaflet, inside this month’s box (page 18).  New subscribers can also get a £15.00 discount. You will need to add the advent calendar to your basket, along with the beauty box subscription. You will then need to enter the code: ADVENTNEWSUBS in the discount code box. It officially launches on Monday 12th October. You can purchase it exclusively from LookFantastic.com. If you purchase it on pre-order, your order will not be shipped until it has officially launched on Monday 12th October.

The Sneak Peek for October’s Box is that you should receive a 2.3g tube of the BY TERRY Baume de Rose Flaconnette Liquid Lip Balm (worth £14.00).

Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Be Delicious'

Photo:  FashionDayDreams.com My Mum went to a car boot sale and found this and bought it. My Mum didn’t like it so she gave it to my sister and then my sister gave it to me. The bottle is a sphere shape inspired by an apple. On the smaller sizes the cap is basic like on most perfumes and is made of silver reflective plastic. The bottle base is made of translucent bottle green glass. On the bigger sizes the cap doesn’t come off and it is the actual dispenser, so when you press it down the perfume sprays. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Grapefruit, Cucumber & Magnolia Middle Notes: Tuberose, Rose, Lily-of-the-Valley, Violet & Green Apple Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber & Wood This perfume smells fruity, floral and fresh and the apple scent really stands out. It is also quite a strong scent, but it is not overpowering. I also think that it is quite universal as it is not sweet. Lastly because the scent is quite strong, it lasts quite a long time...

Glossybox #21 - February 2016

I always look forward to the themed Glossyboxes and this box just looks lovely. I love the colours and the little love design on the lid (better than last February’s box!). Inside the tissue paper is the same hot pink colour as the base of the box and the tissue confetti is white. Here is what I got in my Valentine’s Day themed Glossybox for February:- Nicka K New York 24H Waterproof Eyeliner in Dark Brown | 0.3g - £3.99 | This is a nice product. I like the colour and it could also be used for your brows because it is so soft and the tip is quite fine. It definitely doesn’t stay on for twenty-four hours. It is slightly water resistant, but not waterproof. It doesn’t compare to the Urban Decay ones. MUA Power Pout Glaze Low Voltage Gloss in Rapture | 3.2ml - £3.50 | This looks like a chubby lipstick at first and when you take the cap off, it reveal the wide, flat lip brush applicator. They could have definitely got away with a slightly smaller applicator. You ...

First Haul of May!

I am hauling a few items that I have purchased recently from various different places. I was really excited about my new brush holder, I love them! From Boots I bought a Max Factor Xperience Mascara in Black, the price would have been £10.99, but I got £3 off because I had a voucher from Easter. I also got a free product from Max Factor because I bought one of their mascaras, the gift was the same for everyone but you could pick the shade you wanted, I got the Smoky Effect Eyeshadow in Bronze Haze (2), I chose this one because the colours are neutral, the price would have been £7.99. From Superdrug I just bought NYC Expert Last Nail Polish in Lights-Camera-Glitter (105), for £2.49. I had been wanting this polish for a while, but my Superdrug hardly ever restock the NYC counter, so I couldn’t get it, but I was in luck this time. From Morrisons I bought another Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory, because it was on offer at £5.99, so I bought it for when I run out of...
