Look Fantastic Beauty Box August 2020

Archive, Beauty Boxes, Blogger Reviews, Events, Covid-19 Lockdown, Covid-19 Week Twenty, Make Up, Beauty, Skincare

This August there were 2 variations and I got this one, with make up in. The other was more skincare based. The beauty book is back too!! I swear this BOX is perfect for me this month, I’m camping and everything will be coming with me. Spot on @lookfantastic

#BellaPierre Cosmetic Mineral Blush in Amaretto worth £15.00 6Grams
Creamy and non-comedogenic which is recommended by both make up artists and dermatologists, this mineral blush gives a flush of colour while being a natural look. (I’ve not used blush for so long, the newer red shades have scared me off, so this looks more my cup of tea)

#Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum 10ml worth £15.33
Cult favourite and I always love recieving it. Claims it’s 62 times more effective than vitamin c, and proven to lighten dark spots in 4 weeks. (So let’s see shall we)

#Eyeko Lash Alert Mascara 4ml worth £10.00
I LOVE eyeko products so I was happy to see this, it’s handbag sized, or camping size for me. Curved wand to give precise long fluttery lashes for up to 12 hours. (Going to test this while camping next week)

#Ahava Sea Kissed Mineral Body Lotion 40ml worth £8.00
Deep hydrating body lotion, packed full of antioxidants to help feel revitalised and refreshed. Perfect for sensitive skin. (This is coming camping too!!)

#Mio Sun-drenched Body Wash 30ml worth £3.15
Burst of citrus scent this zesty hydrating body wash is the right size for a few nights away, yep taking this too!! With for extract and monks pepper for an instant soothing effect for mind and body. (This is a camping shower must have)

#PercyAndReed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder balm 30ml worth £8.00
A hair primer that can be used alone or with styling products to enhance the style. Makes hair more manageable as well as adding moisture shine and definition. (Need this after sea hair, it really dries my hair out)

So that’s it, I’m really impressed with this one.

Sneak peek item….

It’s #Elemis Pro-collagen Marine Cream 15ml worth 30ml really looking forward to that one!!

Yay it’s beauty box time, and what a perfect pick me up, it’s very much needed and wanted.

Cute spring colours, I love this box. I’m sure to keep it.

As soon as I saw #Ameliorate in I was super excited. It’s a cream I buy over and over again. I usually buy 200ml which is too big to carry around so this at 30ml is brilliant. Rrp £4 For 30ml

Especially made for keratosis Pilaris this is the dry bumpy skin on your upperarms. It uses magic acid to get rid of dry skin cells and reveal renewed healthy skin. I use this on my legs, as surgery has left them dry and feeling blah. The only cream I’ve found to work on them.

#Starskin 100% Camellia 2 step oil sheet mask Rrp £9.00

Getting our glow back with a 2 step facial sheet mask, put the oil on first to massage into skin, to target dry patches, revive dull skin and soothe into radiance. Then put the sheet mask and relax for 15mins.

#VintageCosmeticsCompany Tweezers Rrp £8.00 I actually needed these, so it’s great timing. A brilliant slant so I know they will be as precise as I need them to be.

#Minetan Coffee Scrub 30g Rrp £9.95

Getting a caffeine kick in a different way? Exfoliate from head to toe with this caffeine scrub, perfect prep for tanning. Or just to feel summer ready.

#BellaPierre Peach Blossom Palette Rrp £28.99

Made exclusively for look fantastic it’s a small palette with 3 shimmer and 1 matte, weightless and bendable the shadows feel lovely. Perfect size for a handbag and with handy mirror too.

#ErnoLazlo Hydraphel skin supplement 15ml Rrp £5.58

A calming toner for dry and sensitive skin. It will hydrate and repair your complexion after your cleansing routine. I have tried these before and always loved them. Cooling and nourishing I find them.

Sneak Peek for next month. Is a HOLY GRAIL item I love. I swear it saved my skin in Rhodes in 2018. It’s #Avant Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Resurfacing Duo Moisturiser RRP £100 For 50ml. So there’s no better time to join.

Urgh! I hate being ill, it’s so boring. Lately I can’t even focus on the TV, let alone binge watch Netflix. I’m just staring at the box, like a zombie at the moment.

You think you can catch up with reading or tv shows, while resting in bed. But the truth is, it’s almost impossible to hold a conversation, let alone follow a decent plot line in a book or on screen.

My only bonus is I’ve been taking ibuprofen 400mg tablets x 3 a day, and my hands have massively improved. Could be related or could just be as it was time for the flare to go down? Though hip is the opposite, the pain levels are high in the hip, really achy and stiff. But likewise that could be from me avoiding moving.

It’s no surprise I’ve not done anything, literally nothing for 2 days. I’m giving myself time to heal, and get over this virus. So instead here is my March #Glossybox hope it cheers me up!

I have no idea why I decided to start the subscription up again, and I’ll be honest the second I opened this box, I promptly cancelled it once more!!

It’s not that it’s bad as it’s not, but the #BellaPierre lipstick kiss proof creme is a deep burgundy, purple so I can’t wear it. My daughter now has it. Full size £20.00

#bybibeauty Plumper Lip Balm is lovely but tiny 10ml so at least it’s useful, but I’m not overwhelmed. Full size £9.00

#Laritzy Dew Pot Utopia highlighter pot, again a bit underwhelming. I’ve seen much better highlighters and it’s a creme which I don’t use. Full size £15.30

My favourite products ended up being the #essence You better work! Fixing spray, which has held my make up well when working out, or going to hydrotherapy. Full size £3.50

Finally we have another good staple product #TheBodyShop Shea Butter body butter in a deluxe mini (it’s a fair size) which would cost £6.00

Overall I thought it was pants compared to look fantastic boxes. And it seems to fall into a trap of same ole brands to use. If my daughter’s had received this box, she’d be over the moon though. So maybe it’s just me. Least I can use the Shea Body Butter while I feel grossly poorly, to make myself feel a bit better.
