September appears to be the month where we see a few new beauty box launches and I was delighted to hear that Look Fantastic had also taken the plunge. Known for providing all things beauty from A-Z via their website if anyone could successfully pull this off it’s certainly them being experts in this trade already. With over 14,000 products online from more than 400 brands across hair, make up, skin care, nails, electrical, fragrance, health , home and organic it was inevitable that this beauty box was going to deliver and be a hit as soon as it landed. Really isn’t a surprise that the September box sold out like a flash.
The October Look Fantastic Box Box is available to pre-order here
Inside the box is filled with 6 mystery beauty items which have been carefully selected. A mystery gift (worth £89.00) was also added to 5 random boxes.
The September box being their first features an incredible line up and showcases well known brands such as Keratase, This Works, St Tropez, Jurlique and Caudalie.
1. Caudalie Divine Oil – Sample Size 30ml Full Size 100ml RRP £27.00
I was introduced to this luxurious oil a few months ago and religiously used the whole bottle during the Summer. Happy to be re-acquainted with the Caudalie Divine Oil.
This is a nourishing multi-purpose miracle oil which is an indulgent treat for dry skin, hair and nails. The unique blend of natural oils, gentle fragrances and softening shea butter can also be used to restore the skin in the bath or during a massage.
The oil has beautiful but subtle floral fragrance and it’s multi purpose properties have so may uses, the list is simply endless.
2. Kerastase Nutritive Irisome Bain Satin 1 Shampoo and Condition – Sample Sizes 80ml and 75ml. Full Size Duo Set RRP £22.20
I am a big of Keratase and was happy to see that both a shampoo and conditioner from the Nutritive Range was within the box. There’s nothing worse than receiving an incomplete set for hair as sometimes you either only get a shampoo or just a conditioner. I like to try both to really get a feel of the brand and the product as they both work hand in hand.
Specially formulated to meet the needs of normal to slightly dry hair, Kerastase Nutritive Irisome range gently cleanses your hair of dirt, excess oil and product build-up, whilst deeply moisturising and conditioning your hair to restore it back to full health.
Whilst these may be sample sizes they are really good sized.
3. St Tropez Bronzing Mousse – Sample Size 50ml . Full Size 240ml RRP £30.64
I’ve not used St Tropez for years and happy that I’ve been re-introduced to the brand in the form of a self tanning mousse. I particularly like the St Tropez range as the developed colour is more of a natural glow rather than a full on colour.
St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse is a super-lightweight, easy-to-apply, velvety mousse that delivers the ultra-even all-over tan you’ve always wanted. Delivering a streak free tan, it dries in just 60 seconds so you can whip it on anytime, anywhere.
St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse contains an innovative fragrance technology that helps to take away the tell-tale tanning aroma to make way for a beautiful subtle, yet refreshing fragrance.
I can’t wait to try this mousse and the 50ml size should hopefully give me one full application.
4. This Works Deep Pillow Spray – Sample Size 5ml. Full Size 75ml RRP £16.00
Now this product excites me and as soon as I saw the packaging I knew exactly what it was. I have been meaning to try this spray and convinced myself I really didn’t need it. I sleep like a log at the best of times and it’s very rare that I suffer from insomnia but I like calming and relaxing aroma’s and this spray sounded perfect for a better night’s sleep.
This spray aims to give you a relaxing and rejuvenating deep sleep and is formulated with natural oils such as Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Camomile which release relaxing vibes so you inhale calm and exhale your worries.
I applied a couple of sprays on my pillow and the scent is intensely relaxing and quite comforting. It’s a very herbal fragrance and isn’t overpowering at all. Whether this put me to sleep or not I couldn’t really tell you but I love the concept and it’s calming properties. Definitely one for the wishlist!
5. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum – Sample Size 15ml. Full Size 30ml RRP £45.00
I’m familiar with Jurlique products and have seen some raving reviews of their skincare range.
This youth defence concentrate serum features a proprietary active complex: Naturadiance PB18+ to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, help increase elasticity, restore radiance and increase hydration, while antioxidants create a natural defence shield to help protect against environmental aggressors. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum leaves skin visibly glowing, hydrated and younger-looking.
As this isn’t suitable for my skin type I will be gifting this to my mum.
My Verdict
Look Fantastic known for providing all things beauty from A-Z via their website have definitely hit the beauty box industry with a bang and they certainly didn’t disappoint with this showstopper of a box. They definitely exceeded my expectations with their first ever beauty box.
The September box featured an incredible line up and showcases well known brands such as Keratase, This Works, St Tropez, Jurlique and Caudalie.
In my opinion they have executed their first box very well from the presentation to the contents within the box. Inside the box also contains pretty information cards which are quite descriptive.
Whilst there are no full sized products the samples themselves are very good sized enabling you to get a good feel of the brand and product and perfect for weekends away. I think sometimes people forget that the sole purpose of these boxes are to enable you to trial products before you buy. It’s certainly a nice monthly treat to receive through your letter box!
The value of this month’s box is £54.00 beating the cost of the box which is only £15.00
