LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #3 - July 2020


I re-subscribed to the LookFantastic Beauty Box in May and received my first box in June (Staycation Edition). I did enjoy that box so I decided to stay subscribed to see what July’s box (Sunkissed Edition) would have to offer. Last month’s box was a bag and this month we are back to the usual cardboard box. The six items should be worth over £65.00 altogether!

Here is what I received:-

MÁDARA Regenerating Night Cream
| 25ml - £17.00 |
This night cream is supposed to work best throughout the night, which is when your skin is best at repairing itself. It is supposed to help stimulate cell renewal, which should reduce fine lines and wrinkles. You should wake-up to brighter, more hydrated and more youthful-looking skin. I am interested in using this. I currently use a basic moisturiser at night, but I have been looking at upgrading to an actual night cream. I hope it is not too thick as I have used a night cream before and I could still feel it on my skin in the morning after applying it and my face felt a little congested, which is why I haven’t used a night cream since.
| Full Size: 50ml - £30.00 |

thisworks Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum
| 10ml - £12.33 |
This serum is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, which is supposed to reinvigorate your skins luminosity. Dullness, dehydration and fatigue should appear reduced and your skin should look brighter over time. This serum is targeted for use as a morning skincare product. I am into trying serums at the moment, but I don’t currently use one in the morning. I will give this one a go and I can still use my current one at night as this one is for morning use.
| Full Size: 30ml - £37.00 |

MONUspa Rose & Lemon Enriched Body Cream
| 100ml - £16.65 |
This body cream is enriched with ultra-nourishing vitamins and essential oils to relieve dryness and help your skin to feel more firm. I don’t use body creams or lotions because I am too lazy to apply them, don’t feel I need to use them and I don’t really like the feel of them on my skin. This one does smell so nice and fresh and I think I might use it. I will probably just start using it on my arms only first and then see how I feel about it. I hope the scent lingers on your skin!
| Full Size: 180ml - £29.95 |

Sleek MakeUp Matte Me Lip Cream in Bittersweet
| 6ml - £4.99 |
This is a matte liquid lipstick in a mauvy coral pink shade. It is supposed to easily glide onto your lips, feel comfortable and last for hours. I have heard that these lipsticks are mean’t to be quite good. Bittersweet is definitely not my kind of shade at the moment, so I will be passing this along. I would look at ordering one in a more suitable shade in the future (brown or warm nude).
| Full Size: 6ml - £4.99 |

MYVITAMINS Beauty Sleep Capsules
| 30 Capsules - £7.50 |
These vitamins contain a blend of minerals and herbs designed to support your sleep and the health of your hair, skin and nails. You should take one capsule thirty minutes before you go to bed. You should consult Doctor or Healthcare Professional before taking these vitamins.  I’ve heard very mixed reviews of this product. Some people swear by them and others seem to have actual nightmares instead of a peaceful and restful sleep! I’m not keen on subscription boxes offering vitamins and in my opinion they shouldn’t be offered. I am slightly annoyed that this is one of the items I received! During the pandemic, I have been struggling to get to sleep (insomnia), so I may experience benefits from using these vitamins and I am also intrigued as to whether they would cause me to have nightmares. I dream every night, but I’ve never experienced a nightmare during my adult life. I take prescription medications, so I would definitely have to consult a HC professional before considering trying them. Although I said I was disappointed at having received them, I haven’t actually ruled out trying them unless I am medically unable to do so.
| Full Size: 60 Capsules - £16.99 |

So Eco Blush Brush
| £7.50 |
This blush brush is made from sustainable materials and it is also vegan and cruelty-free. You can use it with powder or cream products. The bristles are very soft and it is slightly larger than I would normally use to apply my blush, but I will give it a go. I am mostly interested in trying it with my bronzer. You can use it to apply any face/base products really, although I wouldn’t recommend it for applying highlighter.
| Full Size - £7.50 |

Overall, I received another good box but it is skincare heavy like the previous one, but I am glad that there are no hair products! I won’t use the liquid lipstick because it is not a shade I currently wear and I am still undecided on the vitamins. My box this month is worth £65.97. I am staying subscribed, so I can’t wait to see what I receive next month.

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #43

I decided to purchase a sample of this perfume online as I missed out on the free sample offer on Facebook (I had no idea it was being offered). Lady GaGa is the face of the advertising campaign for this fragrance and the television adverts feature a reworked snippet of her song ‘Sine From Above’.   It is Voce Viva by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A couture and feminine bouquet of white flowers that gives Italian tradition a contemporary edge. ” Launched: 2020   Type: Floral Woody Musk / Feminine Notes Top: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger. Middle: Orange Blossom and Gardenia. Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. This is a very soft floral scent and it smells lovely. It dries down very light and not overpowering, which is nice but I feel like it could be a little stronger as it smells quite weak on me. I can detect the Bergamot, Vanilla, Musk and Sandalwood notes. It is my type of floral scent even tho...
