Its beauty box time, and Look fantastic is my monthly subscription box. I have subscribed for a year and it roughly is £13 per month.

This month I hadn’t seen a sneak peek of what was in it, as I’ve done over the previous month’s, too busy getting surgery 🤣🤣

So it’s a surprise to me and a really good one too! Music unboxing video on youtube

What timing to get a Beauty blender sponge when I’ve just bought one from #Clomana off tiktok shop 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ they are very different though.

Glov Beauty Blender Exclusive custom one RRP £10.00 Glov website

An Exclusive Pink Glov beauty blender that is hypoallergenic, latex free, and has antibacterial properties. The flat part of the sponge allows for an even application of concealer under the eyes, the tip gives greater control in smaller areas where you need precision. Designed to apply liquid and powder products, and easy to contour and use on blusher as well as your foundation. Making it a perfect tool to tackle the base of the face. The bounce feels lovely and firm while dry. But to use make sure it’s damp and has more spring.

Upon the prospect of surgery, I knew my skin would need ALL the help it could get. And one cream stands well above all the others, #Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion.

Designed to exfoliate and condition skin, the Transforming Body Lotion (Fragrance-Free) from AMELIORATE is enriched with lactic acid to help gently remove dead cells and refine the appearance of pores.

Infused with a unique blend of the brand’s LaH6 skin hydration complex, alpha hydroxy therapy and sweet almond oil, the potent formula delivers long-lasting moisture, smoothness and suppleness to dry skin. 87% agreed that the appearance of their skin had improved and felt softer and smoother. Featuring a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture, the potent everyday body lotion promotes an even-looking complexion. The fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types and safe to use on the face.

Cruelty-free.

*not my skin* but from their website to show difference.

After multiple surgeries and wearing TED compression stockings I can 100% RECOMMEND this, it does exactly what it claims to do. Hands down its the greatest skincare I’ve ever used and I’ve bought it multiple times.

I love it so much, I’ve bought the spray version too, so it’s easier to apply while I have a hand in a cast (following my latest surgery)

After the complete failure of #Maybeline 24 stay foundation powder (we all saw the gurus advertise on tiktok!) I needed a good foundation but not heavy coverage, as I have mature skin, is wrinkles and dry patches. I managed to get my foundation powder to work with a foundation brush and less is more. However I saw this available, and wanted to try this, and feeling influenced by actual bloggers I know, I decided to give it a go. #ITCosmeticsCCCream

Perfect your complexion with IT Cosmetics’ CC+ Cream, designed to hydrate and nourish. Acting as both a full-coverage foundation and concealer, the formula encourages an airbrushed appearance, promoting a flawless look that resists creasing and cracking.

The CC cream is fortified with hydrolysed collagen, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptides, vitamins and antioxidants, meaning it’s full of skin-loving goodness. Working to improve the look of lines while disguising pores, dark circles, and an uneven skin tone, your complexion will seem refined and visibly luminous.

Topped off with SPF 50, the cream also protects against the sun’s UV rays.

I really liked this, again for me less is more, it has a scent of spas to me, so if scents bother you, try a small one like I did before you go into the big one. However it’s a pleasant scent and subtle. The creaminess is lovely, and covers my redness and dryness well. I would definitely buy again, but I think I will try #Erborian next to test against this one.

Nourish and firm skin with the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Day Cream SPF30, designed to generate a more youthful appearance. Expertly formulated with Pro-Retinol A and Elasti-Flex, known to improve skin’s elasticity, this extravagantly hydrating balm provides skin with the resilience to resist easy damage, allowing fresher looks to last longer.

The SPF 30 will provide protection from UVA and UVB rays, which can cause premature ageing. Skin will be left looking even-toned, with a balanced surface- layer. C.R

My face is feeling parched and dry, almost chapped. I’m probably still dehydrated from surgery 2 weeks ago. I can’t really wear make up, not easy with 1 hand. But feeding my skin at night with this cream, feels like a mini pamper. It’s thick without feeling claggy, it sinks in quickly and skin feels beautiful in the morning. For such a cheap cream it is amazing. A skin hero for the face for sure.
