Late to the Party

September celebrates the Look Fantastic Beauty Boxes Fourth Birthday with this special Birthday Edit.   The Look Fantastic Beauty Box is £15 per month (Inclusive of P+P) BUY HERE   Let's take a look at the goodies you can take home from the party!   Box Design 3/5   A suitably celebratory shimmery holographic birthday box with a plain white box base. Not a keeper for me as I generally prefer the plain coloured boxes.     The Reveal! Excitement Score: 4.5/5   I was expecting a lot from the Birthday edit and the reveal doesn't disappoint. Some great brands and I can only spot one let-down (for me personally). Also comes with this month's issue of Elle magazine, a super-size tube of Parma Violet sweets (which I happen to love) and a card with a 20% off discount for the pre-order of the Look Fantastic Advent Calendar.     Eve Lom - Cleanser and Half Size Muslin Cloth Excitement Score: 5/5 This was ...

Another month another Look Fantastic Beauty Box! I've been subscribing to this box for nearly a year now which is pretty good going for me as I tend to get disillusioned with subscription boxes after about three months! These boxes have been reasonably consistent in bringing exciting and usable products, there have been a couple where the excited anticipation of opening a new box has turned to slight disappointment on seeing the contents, but I've not thought about un-subscribing.   The Look Fantastic Beauty Box is £15 per month (free P+P) Subscribe HERE   This month's edit is called 'Feel, Be, Look Fantastic'. The philosophy behind this is to have confidence in your beauty routine and being the best you can be (with the help of the products in this month's box).   So, how 'best' can me be this month?!     Box Design: 4/5 Two-tone summery-sky blues with a gold trim.   The Reveal!     Excitement Score: 3/5 ...

The Look Fantastic Beauty Box is £15 per month (free P+P) Subscribe HERE   I love that this box comes so early in the month! The money gets taken from your bank account on the 1st and it's usually here by the 4th!   This month's edit is called 'Golden Goddess'.   And this box colour is my most favourite yet!   Box Design Score: 5/5   A gorgeous matte gold lid with black titling and a matte black box base. The tissue paper and shredded packaging are all black - it looks very luxe and 'sophisticated summer' rather than the usual funky neon 'young summer'.     The Reveal!      Excitement Score: 4.5/5 I recognise all the brands but have not tried them all.     * Filorga - UV Bronze After Sun Excitement Score: 4.5/5 Filorga is a brand, who I feel, always delivers. I wasn't actually aware that they had a summer range of products. This is a triple action gel-to-oil formula that calms t...

The Look Fantastic monthly beauty box is £15.00 per month (free P+P) - Subscribe HERE When I heard that this was going to be the second special edition box of the year, I was really hoping that I'd be more excited about this box than I was by the previous two. This edit is called 'Into the Blue' and this month you can expect seven items (it's usually six) which promise to rejuvenate, illuminate, hydrate and refresh us all.     Box Design Score: 3.5/5 It certainly is a very refreshing looking box. Not sure this is a keeper for me though.   With the usual accompanying free copy of Elle Magazine and the Beauty Box booklet. I do really like the opulence of the navy tissue paper and the gold writing.   Excitement Score: 5/5 Yess! Loving the look of everything in here at first reveal.        * Elemis - Superfood Facial Wash Excitement Score: 5/5 I think Elemis has to be one of my favourite skincare brands - I...

After last month's slightly disappointing offering, I was really hoping that Look Fantastic would kick it up a few notches for the May box. Well? Did they manage it? The Look Fantastic monthly beauty box is £15.00 per month (free P+P) - Subscribe HERE Box Design Score: 4/5 I think the bright orange lid is gorgeous - not so keen on the orange and pink as two colours that work together though! But this is such a happy colour - it feels like the promise of what's to come inside should be good.   Free latest copy of Elle Magazine and the accompanying Look Fantastic booklet.   The reveal! Excitement Score: 3/5   1. Avant - RNA Serum Excitement Score: 4/5 Here's a brand I've never heard of before so am excited to try. At first glance, this appeared to have the longest product name I've ever seen - but then I can see it's a list of the main properties -  Arginine, Malto Dextrin, Trehalose, Ubiquinone, Mannitol, Histidine Hcl, Niaci...

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - £15.00 per month (Free P+P) - Subscribe HERE   Back to the plain box this month with a nice Spring-like pistachio green and turquoise colour theme.   Box Design Score: 3/5 - I prefer the plain boxes and these colours are nice and fresh.     Before I even open the back, there is a really strong perfume smell and I worry that something has leaked! Comes with this month's Elle magazine and the Look Fantastic booklet. I'm also too scared to look inside to see what's broken!     The reveal! Excitement Score 2/5 - Nothing's broken but I immediately spot several products that I already own or have used before.     1. Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads (Travel Size) Excitement score - 2/5 I've bought a full size pot of these Glycolic cleansing pads previously and I ended up throwing about half the pot away because they started to smell like boiled cabbage and I assumed t...
