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.

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.

Woohoo we ALL love this cream, this is well used and loved, so I’m definitely looking forward it this.

I’ve recently stopped my monthly Witch Casket, mainly so I have time to use items up and just enjoy a break.

My skin is needing some extra loving care, and my hair with perimenopause and bleach/colouring can always do with a bit of spoiling. As I confess I’m a lazy ass maintenance girl, especially over summer months, opting to camp, hike and just generally be outdoors.

Application:

Start by cleansing with an oil-free cleanser. Make sure skin is completely dry. Do not use cream around the eye area. Shake the tube. Apply a pea-sized amount to the top of the hand. Using a make-up brush, pick up a tiny amount of the product.
Using upward strokes, spread a thin layer of the gel underneath the eyes for puffiness, over the crow’s feet area, over the “11” lines between the brows, and beneath and above the brow bone (but not on the moveable eyelid).
Let the product dry for approximately five minutes while remaining completely expressionless. Do not squint or smile.
When product is completely dry, feel free to apply powder or gently pat on foundation

I love the new style boxes, easier to reuse for other purposes, though obviously not as pretty as they used to be. But as the world becomes more ethical, and environmental it’s a good move.

This is a monthly subscription, I’ve paid for 12 months so mine is £13.00 per month. It’s £15.00 a month if you rather do monthly. Or £14.50 a month if you do 3 monthly plans or £13.75 for 6 months. So it’s affordable and flexible.

This month’s theme is getaway, and while I have no long distance tropical plans, I do still enjoy summer nights out, and mini breaks in this country. Admittedly mainly camping, but these items are still appropriate.

First up it’s not a box, which I’m so pleased with, I love these clear bags. Perfect for toiletries camping or aboard.

First item I gave away immediately as I had no use for it. It’s a #Ciate Glow to Highlighter 6g. It’s a beautiful shade and shimmer but as I don’t wear highlighter it would be wasted on me.

I swapped that with my daughter to have her #BondiSands SPF 50 10ml suncream as I have Polymorphic Light Eruption. IE I’m allergic to the sun and UV rays, so more factor 50 the better for me.

Then we have #WeAreParadox 3 in 1 hair treatment 30ml, it can be used as a hair conditioner as normal after shampooing, or add to towel dried hair as a leave in conditioner, or on dry hair as a styling cream. So many options I feel this is an essential for holidays.

One item I was super excited about was the #Gruum Purifying Charcoal cleansing bar 50g A zero plastic cleansing bar which detoxes the skin leaving it feeling clearer, brighter and smooth. Perfect small bar to pack nice and light, this is a camp perfect item.

#RitualOfKarma Body shimmer oil 30ml a beautiful and decadent body oil with tiny shimmering mineral particles that catch the light and sun, to give you the most gorgeous shimmer. What a summer night out essential, look glamorous and sun kissed.

My final item is the #SolDeJanerio Bum Bum cream 25ml the holy grail of most influencers and bloggers alike. I’ve never tried it before, and my legs well after 6 enormous scars on my legs and buttocks, I’m keen to see how this feels, and I obviously have cellulite too. The smell is divine!!

I’m absolutely loving this month’s, after a few meh months it feels good to be excited to try new brands and products. If I wore highlighter I would adore the ciate one, and I have too many as it is, and wear them as eyeshadows. This month there isn’t a single boring item for me.
