Look Fantastic Beauty Box Review February 2017



Hello you beauties!

It's time again for a beauty box review. Before we start talking about the contents of this month's box, I just wanted to talk to you about the future of this blog. It's honestly nothing majorly serious, so don't worry about it.

Since the beginning of this blog, I have always included subscription box reviews, and these have swapped and changed a little bit during the past 10 months, and I am sorry to tell you all that, within the next few months, my subscription box reviews will seize completely. As some of you may know, I am going to university in September and so I am not planning on continuing getting these boxes when I do move away.

So my Look Fantastic subscription finishes next month (meaning there will only ever be one more Look Fantastic review on this blog) and I plan to cancel my other two boxes during the summer months. I'm sorry if you really like reading my box reviews but I simply can't afford to keep them going.

Anyway... let's get onto the review!

First is the Borghese Fango Mud Mask. I am really looking forward to trying out this product as my favourite mascara is from this brand and I am very impressed with this brand as a whole. I'm always in need of new face masks too and I have never tried out mud masks before so I am excited to try this out.

Next is The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factor which I am pretty sure is a moisturiser. I am always in need of new moisturisers and this actually seems to be pretty good. It's really quite affordable too so if I use it more and like it then I will probably repurchase it. It's supposed to be non-sticky too which I am excited about.

Then we got a Model Co Eye Lites Metallic shadow which I was so excited to see in this month's box. You should all know by now that I love a shimmery look on my eyes so a metallic eyeshadow colour is my idea of heaven. It is a beautiful gold colour too which is what I usually choose when buying shimmery shades (I have a lovely L'oreal one that I use all the time). So I can't wait to try this one out.

Surprisingly we got the MyVitamins Catwalk Queen vitamins and even though we've got vitamins in this box before, they're not always something that I want in a beauty box. They're supposed to help a look with your hair, skin and nails but the actually tablets are huge so I am kind of put off of taking them. They're a great addition to the box though if you love vitamins though.

Then there is the Polaar Icy Magic Roll On eye cream. I love eye creams and I personally love this brand too, as we got a lip balm from this brand a couple of months ago in this box which has now become one of my favourite lip balms. I really do hope this eye cream is magical for my eyes.

The final product in this box is the This Works Deep Sleep Stress Less roll on which I think will be perfect for me if it actually works! I get very stressed out very easily and have had to do all sorts just to try and calm myself down a bit. I use the sprays to help me sleep at night, I take Kalms tablets now when I feel the need for them and now I have something that will fit perfectly in my handbag for when I'm on my travels!

So I do like this box overall, except for the vitamins, and I'm sure I'll end up using everything in this box like I usually do.

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.

I hope you all liked this post. If you did, be sure to subscribe/follow, comment and share with friends.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box Review July 2016


Hello you beauties!

So my first beauty box of the month arrived, which is the Look Fantastic one. This is always the first one to arrive and always arrives pretty quickly, so I am extremely impressed. Let's not ramble on, let's just see what's in this month's box.

Price of box is £11.25 per month (if 12 month subscription). No fee for P&P
There are 7 products in this month's box
If all full-sized products, this box would be worth c. £100
The brands included in this box are: Silk, Benefit, This Works, Mi Ti, Bellapierre and Nuxe

Again, this box comes with an issue of Elle magazine (RRP. £4.10) but I never usually read them.

Nuxe Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
This is a cute little bottle of, you guessed it, dry oil! Apparently you can use it on any part of the body for added shimmer. I tried it out of the back of my hand and it is gorgeous! It is so easy to apply and I am planning on using it throughout the summer months to brighten up my skin.


Bellapierre Lip and Cheek Stain
Finally! The first piece of makeup in four boxes! I am actually really pleased with this addition to the box, and I especially love Bellapierre cosmetics. I got it in the shade 'Pink' which is such a lovely shade, it is perfect for the summer months and is so easily blendable. I see myself using this a lot. 
I'll be back on Saturday with another blog post for you all!

Mi Ti Hair Ties
I have heard a lot about these hair ties recently, as they apparently don't tug on your hair or leave kinks. I can't say I agree completely with this, as I do have difficulty removing them and find that they pull a bit. Also, I feel like it does leave kinks in my hair, or that could also be how my hair actually is. However, I do really like these. It hardly feels like there's anything there and also holds the hair so well that you can have as loose a ponytail as you want without your hair falling out. I just wish I could have more wearable colours like black, white or brown rather than a bright pink, but I might purchase more in the future.

This Works In Transit Camera Close Up mask, moisturiser and primer
When it comes to primers, I am not one to turn them down! I am currently using the Nivea primer but I am more than happy to add this one to my collection, as I have heard great things about this brand. The bottle is a decent size to decide whether or not you like it, and I can see myself using this everyday until I run out.


Silk Anti-Frizz Cream
Anyone who knows me knows that I have super frizzy hair and I have not found a good enough way to tame it yet. So this product is a welcome addition to the box. The bottle is a good enough size for you to try it out a few times, and I will let you know what I think about it once I have used it.

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil
When I heard a Benefit product was going to be in this month's box, I was super excited. Until I opened the box, because then I became slightly disappointed. Okay, if you've never owned a Benefit product before, then this would be a great addition to the box for you, but what annoys me is the fact that I already own this pencil after receiving it for free with an Elle magazine last month. Also, the shade is so completely wrong for me. Both of them that I own are in the darkest shades, and because I'm a natural blonde, these are too dark for me. I want to try and make it work though as they're are great pencils, and if I didn't already own one then I'd be very happy with this in the box.

I am extremely happy with this box this month - very impressed actually! Finally, we have some makeup products, and this month I feel like I could use everything in this box! It makes me regret slightly cancelling my subscription once the 12 months are up, but then it will give me the option to try another box in the future. I would recommend buying this box this month if there are any left.

I will be back on Saturday with another post for you all!
