Look Incredible Beauty Box Review June 2016




Hello you beauties!

I am back again with another beauty box review for you all! This one is my favourite - the Look Incredible beauty box. I love the fact that we receive 5 full sized items a month, for only £18.99. 

I must admit, I had a problem with this box this month, hence why it is the last post of the month. The first box that was sent out to me still hadn't arrived almost 2 weeks after it was sent out, so I emailed Look Incredible and they sent me a new box straight out. This arrived within a week, and I was so happy to finally receive it. Everything was in perfect condition, and I would just like to thank the Look Incredible team for such brilliant customer service. 

Now, let's get onto the box!

Price of box is £18.99 per month. And £2.50 P&P
There are 5 products in this month's box
This box is worth £76.50
The brands included in this box are: Ciate, No7, Velvet 59, Stila and The Body Shop



Ciate Manicure Set (RRP. £16)
This is the first item that I saw in the box, mainly because it was the item on top. Ciate is a brand that I have heard a lot about but not really used before, until I received a mini in the shade 'Pepperminty' in this month's 'My Little Box'. I loved that nail varnish that I own now, so I was really happy to see this product in the box. The shade of nail varnish we receive ('Cream Soda') is a lovely grey colour that I would see myself using a lot. The foils are beautiful colours, with a range of golds, silvers and greens, etc. Each foil is named; 'Flash', 'Fizz', 'Feisty', 'Fling', 'Flirt' and 'Frost'. I am really looking forward to trying these out, as it's something new to try. 



The Body Shop Moroccan Rhassoul Body Clay (RRP. £16)

I absolutely love this brand. The Body Shop is somewhere I go on every shopping trip. I own four of their body mists which I use every day, along with many other products of theirs. So of course I was extremely excited to see this brand featured in this month's box. I like the fact that this is supposed to firm your skin, as I certainly have a lot of areas that need firming! The scent of this clay isn't as bad as some people have said, but it certainly does get messy, so I'd advise not to apply any where it would be difficult to remove (e.g. fabrics). I can't see any effects yet, but I've only used it once, so I'll bring you a proper review when I can see better results.


No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara (RRP. £11.50)
This box couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time. I had just run out of my favourite Maybelline mascara, and was about to buy some more, but now I don't have to. I tried this mascara out as soon as I spotted it in the box. It doesn't add massive volume, but sometimes I prefer that as it helps me to create a more natural look. It adds a lot of colour (I received my mascara in the shade 'Black') and even curls the lashes. Mascaras are probably one of my favourite makeup items, and No7 is definitely one of my favourite drugstore brands. I will definitely repurchase this in the future.

Velvet 59 Matte to the Max Liquid Lipstick (RRP. £17)
This is a brand that I have honestly never heard of before. I like the idea of the product being vegan, although it's not something that I'd go out and look for in particular. However, I am wary about trying this brand's products again. This, however, is only because I find this lipstick so hard to work with. It is so... 'runny' and I find that I have to blend it with my finger too to make it reasonably wearable. Also, the colour really doesn't suit me. I received the shade 'Pink Cadillac', which I think is the shade that everyone received. It is a very bright, light pink, which is a colour I never wear, and I don't see myself using this in the future. I might've done if it was a more wearable colour for me though.

Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer (RRP. £16)
I think I was most excited about this product this month. Stila is a brand that I have always wanted to try, and finally I got my chance! I received the shade 'Kitten Shimmer', which I think is, again, the shade that everyone received. I hardly ever use highlighters, but this highlighter is so pretty that I feel like I'll be using this every single day. It is extremely easy to use and blend, and helps create a perfect, natural look. I will definitely consider buying this again.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this box. It's hard to decide if I prefer this box over last month's, as both were amazing. This is definitely my favourite beauty box that I receive each month, and it's great value for a grand total of £21.49 a month. I will be continuing with this beauty box for as long as it continues to impress me.

I'll be back on Friday with my June favourites for you all!

Look Incredible Beauty Box Review May 2016


Hello you beauties!

I received this box last week but decided to wait until today to upload it because I thought you might all be overwhelmed with 3 beauty box reviews in a row!

This is a fairly new beauty box to the beauty box market (I think they are pretty much new for this year) and this is the first ever box of theirs that I have. 

They promise to send you 5 full sized products every month, which is completely different to most other beauty boxes, which only usually send you 1 or 2 full sized products and many travel and sample products. This box also sends you products mainly from high end brands, with bareMinerals being featured in a lot of the boxes and brands like Mac, NARS and Tarte have also been featured too. 

Now can you see why I got so excited about this box!? And trust me, it didn't disappoint!

Price of box is £18.99 per month. And £2.50 P&P
There are 5 products in this month's box
This box is worth £86
The brands included in this box are: Claire's, Bellapierre, Korres, bareMinerals and Mac



Claire's Nail Polish (Rating 4/5) (3 shades for £3 each)
Okay, so I know this isn't a high end brand, but they do make up for it by giving you 3 of these, so it brings up the value of the box. So really, you're getting 7 full sized items, not 5. But they classed these as just 1 item. I am not disappointed with these at all. I have used Claire's nail polishes before so I am actually excited to use these as I know they will be great quality. They are great shades too - one being a base coat shade and two being top coats. The base shade is plainly called 'Silver' and is exactly that. It's a beautiful glittery silver and I feel like this will be perfect for Christmas time.
Now, the top coats are called 'Gold Glitter' and 'Rainbow Sparkles' which, again, are self-explanatory. I don't usually try top coats like these very often as I only wear nail polish a couple of days before taking it off because of work. But I definitely will be using these in the future. I feel like the 'Gold Glitter' looks like gold confetti and the 'Rainbow Sparkles', as my mum described it, looks like 'hundreds and thousands'. I would definitely recommend that you buy these products.

Korres Eye Primer (Rating   ) (£15)
I am new to eye primers - I haven't really used them until just recently. I am really excited for this as I want to know what works and what doesn't. From my first swatch of this product, I found it to blend well and the apricot undertone gives this product an amazing colour. Part of me is hoping that this will be better than my favourite GOSH Prime & Refresh Eye Primer, and if it is I will probably buy this Korres one again. £15 isn't bad for an eye primer after all, is it!?


Mac Patent Polish Lip Pencil (Rating 4/5) (£17.50)
This is probably the product I am most excited about from this box as I have been desperate to try Mac products ever since I really got into make-up. The shade I received is 'Hopelessly Devoted' and it is probably not a shade I would've chosen myself, as it is a very bright fuchsia tone (and these do not usually suit me). But because it is not a lipstick but more of a lip balm/lip gloss, it means I can have it quite sheer coverage and build it up as I wish. I will probably experiment with this and probably use this for a night out (like for a drink with friends or a family meal). It is highly pigmented and very glossy, which is brilliant. I will definitely treat myself to something like in the future. 

Bellapierre Kabuki Brush (Rating 4/5) (£22.50)
Admittedly, I already have a Kabuki brush that I bought from Wilko's for like £4 which is amazing quality but it was nice to receive a brush from such an amazing brand like Bellapierre. The handle on this one is a lot smaller than on my other one though, so I will probably use this as a buffer for my foundation. The brush is extremely soft and the bristles look beautiful, with white tips. I am excited to be using this regularly in the future and I may consider buying brushes from this brand again. 



bareMinerals READY blush (Rating 4.5/5) (£22)
This is probably my favourite product in the whole box (hence why I left it until last) and I have been keen to try bareMinerals products ever since I heard of the brand. I received the shade 'Whisper' which is a very neutral, beige colour and is perfect for me. I do risk pinks sometimes but usually I stick to my nude tones. I have never owned a nude blusher before though, so I am excited to try this out. This product is extremely pigmented and easily blendable if necessary. I would probably buy this product again (despite the hefty price tag!).

And that's it! That's my first ever 'Look Incredible' beauty box review done and, I must admit, this has to be my most favourite box ever that I am subscribed too. Always saving the best until last! 

I'll be back on Wednesday with another beautiful beauty post!

Thank you!!
