New Year, New You… New Lookfantastic Beauty Box? Well, yeah! After following my monthly unboxings of my favourite beauty subscription boxes throughout last year, you might not recognise the new design of the lookfantastic beauty box. But here it is; better than ever! And, as the theme suggestions, lookfantastic are starting the new year with a new start, and so my adventure into beauty this year beginds with the secret treats inside the all new Lookfantastic Beauty Box January 2017.
Spoiler alert: if you don’t want to see what’s inside, look away now!
Although I have always adored the designs of the lookfantastic beauty box, this new instagrammable box has to be my favourite yet. Not only is it insta-worthy, but it’s sleek size is the perfect place for storing my makeup brushes in when I’m doing using them and looks oh-so-sophisticated on my cosmetics shelf. This year, lookfantastic are not only introducing a new design, but also a new range of products including three brand spanking new products which you can try in the beauty box first, before other customers are able to try them on site.
One thing the same as last year, however, is that each month’s treats include 6 products (a mix of travel size and full size beauty products) from a range of products across all beauty catagories (skincare, haircare, cosmetics, tools and bodycare). I personally love that there are an amazing three cosmetics products in the Lookfantastic Beauty Box January 2017, two from new brands to lookfantastic; a beautiful rose gold liquid highlighter from Trifle Cosmetics and the best selling Fairy Lashes mascara from Asian makeup brand Jelly Pong Pong.
Plus, there’s a real treat from one of my favourite brands in there; a full size Brow Tamer from Pixi by Petra, which is a clear mascara used to set your brows (both with or without brow colour underneath). The Brow Tamer is worth £12 on it’s own and is a full size product, so if you have a Lookfantastic Beauty Box subscription you’ve pretty much paid for the box with just this product.
The Lookfantastic Beauty Box January 2017 also includes a skincare product, a haircare product and a beauty tool, which I personally think is a great mix. For this box, there is an option of one of two Nuxe products (a cleanser and a toner) and I received the Lotion Tonique Douce toner, which I am pleased about as I have quite the mini samples collection of cleaners which I take with me on my travels, but mini size toners seem to be hard to come by!
For hair, one of last year’s most-loved 2016 lookfantastic Beauty Box products has been included – the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! hair mask, which is great timing for looking after your locks during this awful January weather.
Finally, the rose gold Slanted Tweezers by The Vinatge Cosmetics Company is another highlight in the Lookfantastic Beauty Box January 2017. Again, this is a new brand to lookfantastic and their Beauty Box subscribers get to try it first, but this product is worth £8 which again means you get great value for money. Plus, a girl always needs a pair of tweezers (and who could resist anything rose gold)?
Honestly, I reckon the Lookfantastic Beauty Box January 2017 is one of their best yet and it’s just a bonus that the design is totally instagram-able too! At just £13 for a 12 month subscription, you’ve basically paid for the box with just one of these full size products; plus each month the box comes with a complimentary Elle Magazine and a Beauty Box Magazine to read during your winter pamper nights.
Oh, and after all, isn’t January the perfect time to give yourself a little treat each month?
