LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #7 - November 2020

Last month’s box was the Retreat Edition and this month we have the Firecracker Edition with a berry and orange themed box. The six items inside the box should be worth over £58.00 altogether! I also received a free aftershave sample.

The box quote this month is: “Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”.
 

Here is what I received this month:-
 
ThisWorks Perfect Legs Skin Miracle
| 30ml - Can’t find price! |
This is a lightly tinted serum, enriched with Vitamin C and E. It is supposed to give you a sun-kissed glow. You should massage it into dry skin. It does say you can use it all over your body, not just on your legs. This is not the sort of product I would be interested in trying.
| Full Size: 120ml - £38.00 |
 
Polȧar Ice Pure Micellar Water with Artic Cotton
| 50ml - Can’t find price!  |
This cleansing micellar water should remove stubborn make-up and bring hydration and moisture to your skin without drying or tightening it. I already use a micellar water product every day, so this is a product I am interested in using. The bottle is quite cute and can be re-used for travel purposes. It contains Artic Cotton, but I wouldn’t say it really has a scent.
| Full Size: 200ml - £20.00 |
 
NAOBAY Detox Oxygen Light Cream
| 50ml - £16.00 |
This face cream is supposed to provide moisture without leaving your skin feeling greasy. It is recommended for all skin types and it contains Green Tea, Aloe Vera and Raspberry to provide protection against free radicals. I am excited to try this out. I am into trying different face creams/serums at the moment. It has a light scent, but it doesn’t really smell like any of the ingredients listed.
| Full Size: Can’t find information! |
 
PHILIP KINGSLEY Pure Colour Frizz-Fighting Gloss
| 20ml - Can’t find price! |
This is a conditioning heat protectant cream for your hair. It should be applied to towel dried hair, mainly focusing on the ends. It sounds like an interesting product, but I don’t think I would use it. If it was in spray bottle form, I would more likely use it. I always wash my hair on an evening, so when I style it in the morning, it is already dry. I also find the spray bottle versions easier to apply; you don’t get your hands all sticky.
| Full Size: 50ml - £26.00 |
 
NAILS INC All Fired Up Nail Varnish in Portland Square
| 10ml - Can’t find price! |
This nail polish contains charcoal, which is supposed to protect and promote the health of your nails. It is described as a red shade, but it looks more orange to me. It definitely isn’t a true red, but it does look like a beautiful shade. I will probably pass this along as I rarely paint my nails (I’m too lazy for that) and I already own quite a few polishes that I don’t use, so I don’t need to add more to my collection. If I painted my nails more, then I would keep it. It is definitely more of a summer season shade though, it doesn’t scream autumn/winter to me!
| Full Size: 14ml - £15.00 |
 
LORD & BERRY Line/Shade Glam Eye Pencil in Antique Bronze
| 0.7g - Can’t find price! |
This eyeliner pencil is supposed to be comfortable to wear, intensively pigmented and long lasting. It has a precision tip and a creamy formula which should allow it to glide onto your eye effortlessly and be blended out for a smokier look. I already own far too many eyeliner pencils (mostly Urban Decay), so I will be passing this along, but it does look beautiful. One thing I will say though is that it doesn’t look that creamy compared to my Urban Decay ones, the tip looks quite sharp in comparison.
| Full Size: Can’t find size! - £10.00 |
 
MONT BLANC Explorer Eau De Parfum
| 2ml - Can’t find price! |
This product isn’t listed on the official Beauty Box page, so I’m not sure if everyone received a sample of this. It was actually inside my main Beauty Box, they may have had too many and needed to get rid of some. It is kind of random though really because I do not wear masculine scents/aftershave/men’s cologne. The blurb inside the sample card says “Montblanc Explorer is an invitation to a fantastic journey, an irresistible call to adventure. This unconventional woody aromatic leather Eau de Parfum reveals a fresh green Italian Bergamot, contrasted with a powerful Vetiver from Haiti, and combined with rich and exclusive Patchouli from Sulawesi. Be prepared to discover new horizons”. It gives me Dior Sauvage kind of vibes. I am one of the few people that doesn’t really rate that scent, I have smelled sexier scents in my time. It does smell fresh, musky and woody. I wouldn’t be mad at smelling this on a man, but I am more of a Mugler Alien Man Fusion kind of girl!
| Full Size: 100ml - £69.99 | 
This was an interesting box. It isn’t my favourite, but I have got a couple of products I am excited to try out. I am more looking forwarded to next month’s box as I haven’t ever received a LF Christmas edition Beauty Box before, it will also be my last box as I will be unsubscribing. I am just finding that the majority of products I receive are uninteresting to me and I also very rarely re-purchase something I have tried from a box, which is the whole idea of these boxes. I just like the excitement of opening a sort of present and not knowing what’s inside until it has been completed unwrapped! I’m not sure how much my box was worth this month as the edit leaflet didn’t include any of the prices this time, which is a little annoying, but hey ho!
 
The Sneak Peak for December’s Box is that you should receive a 10ml tube of the AVANT Pro-Radiance Brightening Eye Final Touch (worth £98.00).

O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

GUCCI Mini Perfume Gift Set

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it.   It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2019   Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift.   You can purchase the L...
