LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #8 - December 2020

This is my last LF Beauty Box as I have now cancelled my subscription. If you read last month’s box unboxing post, you will know why. Last month’s box was the Firecracker Edition and this month we have the Christmas Edition with a black and gold themed box. The six items inside the box should be worth over £135.00 altogether!
 
The box quote this month is: “Merry Christmas with love from the Beauty Box Team”.
 
Here is what I received this month:-
 
PERCY & REED Reassuringly Firm Session Hold Hairspray
| 50ml - £6.00 |
This hairspray should be ultra-fine, humidity resistant and it should provide a flexible but firm hold. I was looking at trying a new hairspray anyway. I currently use a TRESemmé one and it makes my hair feel a little crispy if I use too much. I am hoping this one is different as it says it is ultra-fine. I only tend to use hairspray when I curl or wave/crimp my hair.
| Full Size: 250ml - £12.50 |
 
Jecca Blac Glow Drops in Champagne
| 20ml - £16.00 |
This face primer is supposed to prepare and brighten your complexion with a natural healthy glow, ready for you to apply your foundation. You can also use it alone or as a subtle highlighter. This isn’t really a product I would use. I don’t often use face primer and I prefer powder highlighters. It does seem like a nice product, there is a chance I would use it alone without make-up to give my skin a little pick me up.
| Full Size: 20ml - £16.00 |
 
Avant Pro-Radiance Brightening Eye Final Touch
| 10ml - £98.00 |
This eye cream is infused with hyaluronic acid and sea water to fight signs of ageing, deliver long-lasting moisture and combat the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and eye bags for a youthful glow. You can use it in the morning and evening. I really can’t believe how much this eye cream is worth! I will be giving it a go when I have finished up my current eye cream, but I know I will not re-purchase it as the price is crazy for an eye cream.
| Full Size: 10ml - £98.00 |
 
Medik8 HYDR8 B5 Liquid Rehydration Serum
| 10ml - Can’t find price! |
This serum contains hyaluronic acid and panthenol (vitamin B5). It is supposed to give you long-lasting hydration for a plumper and smoother complexion. I do like trying different serums, so this will be the next one for me to try before I use the Clarins Double Serum I purchased.
| Full Size: 30ml - £40.00 |
 
theBalm Petal to the Metal Va Va Vroom (Shift Into Overdrive) Cream Eyeshadow in Turbo
| 1.2g - Can’t find price! |
This cream eyeshadow is supposed to be creamy, buildable and easy to blend. The shade is a rose gold with silver flecks. This is a random edition. You can’t buy these eyeshadows in singles, they are only available in palettes and those palettes are no longer available. It kind of seems like this was included as they had a stock of samples they wanted rid of!
| Full Size: Can’t find information! |
 
Brushworks Double-Ended Eye Brush
| £3.99 |
This double-ended brush has a shader brush on one end and an angled eyeliner brush on the other end. The bristles are synthetic and are kind of stiff, which is what I like in precision use brushes.
| Full Size - £3.99 |
This box did arrive a little later than usual this month. I love the box design and there is a good range of products. They are a few items I won’t use, but I am happy with the ones I can try out. I am glad that I still went ahead with my subscription cancellation though. I also still have ten days of my LF calendar unboxing, so there will be more products for me to try. I’m not sure how much my box is worth this month as the edit leaflet didn’t include any of the prices again, which is what happened last month too! Even with some of the prices missing, if you add up the worth of products I actually found prices for; it does already go over the £150.00 mark which isn’t bad at all.
 
The Sneak Peak for January’s Box is that you should receive a 40ml tube of the SVR Hydraline Rich Intense Moisturising Cream (worth £15.00).

KALEIDOS Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette

  I have seen these palettes before on YouTube, a few people I follow have featured them in palette collection videos. The colour stories always looked incredible, but I knew I probably wouldn’t get much use out of them as the colours are bright and you are limited to six shades. I had only really seen the Futurism III: Astro-Pink , Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green , Futurism IV: VR Neon and Futurism V: Electro-Turquoise ones before. When I made my first Kaleidos order, I didn’t bother looking at the palettes as I knew I wanted the highlighters and it was going to be pricey as it was. I was browsing through Depop on the day my order arrived and came across the Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette . I think the seller must have received her order the same day as me. I instantly fell in love with the colour story, but I pondered over whether to purchase it or not. At 3am the next morning (insomnia), I bit the bullet and made my purchase. It was brand new and untouched, I just couldn’t! THE P...

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...
