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.

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer
