MY OVERALL THOUGHTS
I did enjoy unboxing this calendar, although I did come across a couple of spoilers on social media which was annoying. I know I lot of people unboxed their calendars straight away but I wanted to unbox mine like I would a chocolate calendar (day-by-day). I’m glad there was only one hair product, as you know I don’t do hair products. I’m not overly keen on body care products either, but there weren’t too many and two of them were actually body washes (which I do like). The bulk of the products were skincare related, which I kind of expected because the LF Beauty Boxes are also like this. I didn’t really get any repeated items from LF Beauty Boxes, apart from the Molton Brown body wash, but it is a different scent to the one I received in a LFBB. I’m really glad I got a mini of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Volumising Mascara, as I was looking at purchasing it in the future to test out anyway. I was surprised to see the Natasha Denona Blush Glow Duo, it isn’t the sort of product I would use but it is a great addition. I kind of wish there was a sort of eyeshadow palette (a mini would do) included. I got a 3INA The Cream Eyeshadow, but I never use cream eyeshadows, I prefer powders. I kind of hoped for a Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow quad, but LookFantastic don’t sell Charlotte Tilbury products.
 
Overall, I am happy that I decided to purchase my first ever beauty advent calendar and I am glad I chose LookFantastic, not just for the discount. The difference between how much I paid versus how much the products are worth is incredible! I would recommend that cosmetic/skincare lovers look at purchasing the 2021 version (Pre-order August/September 2021). I’m not overly certain that I will purchase the 2021 version, but we will see. If I do, I will do the twenty-five day unboxing posts for you again.

Serial Sampler #34

I’ve had this sample for a while now and I’ve only just decided to test it. I also have another sample of a spin-off scent from the same fragrance line, which I will post soon.   It is Candy by PRADA and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ Prada Candy combines exceptionally high-quality ingredients in excessive proportions. Magnified by musks, noble benzoin comes together with a modern caramel accord to give the fragrance a truly unique signature ” Launched: 2011   Type: Oriental Vanilla Notes Top: Caramel. Middle: Musk and Powder. Base: Benzoin and Vanilla. I wasn’t expecting to like this fragrance when I looked at the notes and I was right! It smells kind of woody (burnt wood) and like celery. It is most definitely a spicy oriental scent and it is not me at all. It is quite strong, but it isn’t overpowering. I would say it is a unisex scent as it isn’t sweet. With a name like Candy, I was expecting some sweetness. There is the Caramel note whi...

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #2 - June 2020

I decided to re-subscribe to the LookFantastic Beauty Box and I pre-ordered my June box on 22 nd May. It arrived yesterday (3 rd 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. ...

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...
