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).

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
