Hello you beauties!

This is always the most exciting time of the month for me! I get so excited for my beauty box subscriptions to arrive. In fact, that leads on to a funny story.

At 7am on the 3rd June (when this box actually arrived), I received a text to tell me t.hat my parcel would be delivered that day. Of course, knowing what it was, I got extremely excited. I spent most of the day pacing up and down all around the house, impatiently waiting. I got tired of pacing so I ended up sitting by the window, watching outside ready for when the van pulled up. And eventually, it did. At just gone 11am. I was so excited I think I looked like a little excited puppy. And the postman saw me. And he walked up my path chuckling to himself. It was so embarrassing!

Now, onto the box review!

Price of box is £11.25 per month (if 12 month subscription). No fee for P&P

There are 8 products in this month's box

If all full-sized products, this box would be worth c.£160

The brands included in this box are: Mr Blanc, Naobay, Spa Majik, Caudalie, Cowshed, Tan Organic and Korres

As we have for the past few editions of this box, we received this month's issue of Elle magazine (RRP. £4.10). However, I don't usually read these.

Naobay Oxygenating Cream Moisturiser (Given: 22ml. Full size: 50ml for £32.95)
I haven't tried this product yet, but I am very excited about it. It's made from natural ingredients which I am always keen to try as I am finding a lot of products are causing break outs on my skin at the moment. Also, 22ml is a very generous size to include in the box and I can see myself using this throughout the summer if i like it enough. I may even do a review on this product in the future once I have tried it.

Mr Blanc Teeth Whitening Strips (Given: 3 sets. Full size: 14 day supply for £24.99)
Whitening my teeth is something I have always wanted to do yet I cannot afford to get it done by the dentist and I am too scared to try it myself. So receiving these strips in the box is actually very good as it is encouraging me to do it. However, I am not a massive fan of these strips. The strips themselves are very big - way too big for my teeth. The strips feel very uncomfortable in my mouth and the amount of gel left on my teeth afterwards made me feel very nauseated! Also, they hardly whitened my teeth! Maybe it takes a few days for them to take effect, or maybe I was doing something wrong. I will try these again though and let you know what I think,

Korres Bergamot Pear Shower Gel (Given: 40ml worth £3. Full size: 250ml currently 2 for £8 on lookfantastic.com)
I was really happy to see this product in the box. I love love love scented shower gels, and after trying the eye primer that I received in the May Look Incredible beauty box, I was keen to try this brand again. The smell is great, and very different from what I am used to, but it is a great addition to my skincare collection. I haven't tried this product yet, but from first impressions I am really impressed with this product and will be trying it as soon as possible.

Caudalie Premier Cru Eye Cream (Given: 7ml. Full size: 15ml for £49)
If I am honest, I have never used any Caudalie products before. I have heard great things about them, but never used any before. I have also never used eye cream before, so this was a great addition to the box to persuade me to try something new. And I honestly love this cream. Even after only one use, my eyes already seemed better. They seemed lifted and brighter and it also helped with my under eye dark circles. I will definitely be using up all of this sample and even though it costs a lot of money for the full size, I might even consider buying this again.

Dead Sea Spa Magik Beauty Balm (Full size: 50ml for £13.50)
I have always been keen to try a BB cream, because as the weather is warming, I find that foundations are becoming too heavy and therefore I have heard a BB cream is much lighter on the skin. I tried this out in place of my foundation in my make-up routine, and it is brilliant. It doesn't offer as much coverage as my foundations do, but I don't expect massive coverage from something similar to a tinted moisturiser. I will definitely be using this throughout the summer.

Tan Organic Self Tan Oil (Given: 25ml. Full size: 100ml for £24.99)
I am actually really excited to try this product out. I have never been brave enough to used tanning products before (until I received the tanning moisturiser in a My Little Box beauty box) as it seems so difficult and fiddly and frustrating to do. However, this product seems brilliant. It's an oil so I presume it won't be as messy - obviously as it even says that you don't need to use a tanning glove. I'm going to try this out as soon as I can, and if it gives me the results I want/expect then I will definitely buy it again.

Cowshed Cow Pat Moisturising Hand Cream (Given: 50ml. Full size: 300ml for £16)
I think I was most excited about this product. That is because I just love hand creams, as I get very dry hands. Usually I use the Zoella Wonder Hand hand cream or the Baylis and Harding Beauticology Raspberry Cream Macaroon Hand and Body Lotion, so this was a hugely welcomed addition to this month's box. I loved how smooth it made my skin, but I wasn't too keen on the scent. With it having grapefruit notes to it, I thought I would love this scent. But with all the different notes together, it is just too overpowering and not so pleasant a smell. I may learn to like this scent, but I am not overly pleased with this product.

Overall, I am really pleased with this box. The box is very skincare heavy, which I wasn't too keen about at first but this box has actually really impressed me! The problem with skin care is that it can be very hit and miss with me, but I am sure I will use everything in this month's box.

I am really looking forward to next month's box - genuinely this time.

Byeeeeee!

P.S. I don't know if you can notice, but the pictures look of a different quality than usual. That will be because I am no longer using the camera on my phone, but rather on my actual camera. I have it up and running properly now, so I hope you like these better quality pictures on my blog from now on.

*The Look Fantastic box comes in many subscriptions starting at just £11.25 per month.*

Hello you beauties!

This is the second box from 'Look Fantastic' that I have received, and although I tried to keep it a surprise for myself what would be in it, I 'accidentally' had a sneaky look on whichbeautyboxuk.com and 'accidentally' saw what would be in the box.

I wasn't completely impressed first off with this box this month, as again it is mainly skincare. I seem to have more skincare than I do have skin to put it on. I suppose it's a good way to try out products that I probably wouldn't pick up myself in the shop, but I would like to see some actual make-up products in here in the future.

Price of box is £11.25 per month (if 12 month subscription). No fee for P&P

There are 8 products in this month's box

If all full-sized products, this box would be worth c.£200

The brands included in this box are: REN, Vichy, Ioma Paris, Eve Lom, Decleor, Wet Brush and Revlon 

As we did in the last box, we received this month's issue of Elle magazine, but I don't usually have time to read this (RRP. £4.10)

Vichy Liftactiv Supreme Day Cream (Given: 15ml sample size. Full size: 50ml. £29.95) (rating: 4/5)

I have a lot of creams. I am being honest there. A lot of cream and not enough skin to put it on. But I do think this product is really... 'cute'. The sample is small but the smallness is adorable, and the product smells really great. I really do like this product. It feels great on the skin and already feels like my skin is firming up (as it promised to do).
I would definitely recommend this product to you.

REN Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial (Given: 10ml sample size. Full size: 40ml. £32) (rating: N/A)

At the moment, I am obsessed with night creams. Mainly because I work evenings twice a week so it's nice just to moisturise when I come home.  I'm a bit scared about using this product as it claims to be super sensitive on the skin and make you more at risk for the sun. 
I'm sure I will try this product at one point, but while it is as sunny as it is in England, I do not want to risk it.

Wet Brush (£11.99) (rating 4.5/5)

In the box, we were given the classic one - it could come in many colours but I was given the lime green one. I'm not complaining, I really love the colour. 

It doesn't look much different to brushes I have used before, and I usually stay away from brushes as they make my hair very frizzy - I stick to combs. I love the feel of this brush though, and the handle is thin which I personally find easier to hold. It is easy to run through my hair and my hair now looks untangled and voluminous. I will definitely be using this product until it falls apart, and I would recommend that you buy one yourself.  

Ioma Paris Optimum Youthful Moisture Cream (Given: 7 travel pods. £9) (rating: 4/5)

This product is a lot better than I thought it would be, to be honest. It comes in 7 travel pods which offers a 7 day treatment. The pods look small but I realised that there is actually a lot more product in the pods than I thought. I felt like I had to layer on the cream, and it began to feel sticky and somewhat heavy. However, it does an amazing job. It smoothed my skin a lot more than I expected, and I found that it helped slightly with spots and blemishes that I may have.

I definitely recommend this product.

Eve Lom Cleanser and Muslin Cloth (Given: 5ml sample size. Full size: 100ml. £55) (rating: 3/5)

I was going to buy a muslin cloth from The Body Shop last week (£2.50) but I'm really glad that I didn't - I was really excited to see this in the box. 

But the most important part of this is the cleanser... This is an okay cleanser but I have used ones at the same quality for a lot cheaper so I probably wouldn't recommend this product. I probably will not buy this product again, because of the price. 

Revlon Uniq One All In One Hair Treatment (Given: 9ml. Full size: 150ml. £14.75) (rating: 4/5)

I was a bit annoyed to see that this was a free sample (I looked at the back of the small bottle) but then I guess you can't have everything in life. This is a coconut scent, and whilst I don't actually like coconut, I love coconut scent. 
I sprayed this on my hair after washing it. The scent is very strong but very delicious. The product itself makes my hair feel really smooth and it looks shiny and silky too. It also seems to add volume, and I can still smell the coconut now, over 12 hours after application. 
I would definitely consider buying this again.

Decleor Intense Nourishing Cocoon Cream (Given: 5ml. Full size: 50ml. £45.50) (rating: 3.5/5)

This sample is actually tiny. And again is another cream. But nevertheless I thought I'd give it a try. I actually got more out of this than I thought I would, and it is actually quite good. It really moisturises the skin and smells good. I would probably recommend this but for the price, it may not be within everyone's price range. 

So while I was originally quite disappointed with this box on first sight as it was all skincare and haircare again, after trying out the products, I am actually quite happy and can tell that I have got my monies worth. 

I am looking forward to next month's box.

Within the next few weeks, I will also be uploading my 'Look Incredible' beauty box review (I am impatiently waiting for the arrival of my first one) and my 'My Little Box' review (which is was so impressed with last time and I hope they deliver that much amazing-ness this month when it finally arrives).

Thank you!!
