lookfantastic Beauty Box March 2017: The Elle Edit

This month the world celebrated International Women’s Day 2017 on 8^th March; an opportunity to thank all the strong women in our lives and to raise awareness of the gender gap that is still prevalent across the globe, both personally and professionally. In honour of this, lookfantastic’s March edition of their world famous Beauty Box is here to highlight a strong partnership between the global beauty brand and one of the most successful Women’s magazines in the world. Say hello to lookfantastic Beauty Box March 2017: The Elle Edit.

The first of the 6 items from the box is a 15ml sample size of the brand new skincare launch Caudalie VineActive 3 in 1 Moisturizer, an item ideal for popping in your handbag for busy ladies on the go. This moisturiser is a brand new product from lookfantastic favourite Caudalie and promises to rejuvenate tired and sensitive skin using the patented grape vine ingredientst that the brand has become famous for. I actually first discovered Caudalie through the lookfantastic Beauty Box and so it makes sense for it to be included again in this celebratory edition.

This moisturiser is accompanied by the Skinchemists 24 HR Aqua Repair Facial Serum, weighing in as a travel size at 30ml. This promises to soothe and repair skin using ingredients such as rose water and aloe vera known for their calming properties. I reckon this is the perfect size for popping in an overnight bag, or even better, an on flight cosmetics bag! I do love to give myself a little facial when I fly and the properties in this product give me hope that it will help my skin to retain moisture whilst I travel. A perfect item for jet setting power women!

For hair, the lookfantastic Beauty Box March 2017: The Elle Edit contains a sachet of Redken Heatcure Mask. This is a New In product from salon haircare specialists Redken and once applied to the hair, self-heats to allow we busy ladies to give ourselves a pamper worthy of a salon treatment at home. These sachets are usually sold in packs of 4 from lookfantastic and cost around £35ish for a whole pack.

Makeup wise, The Elle Edit contains a PÜR Minerals Disappearing Act Concealer. Unfortunately I received the colour Light which is still way too dark for me, but I will be passing it on to a friend as the formula looks really promising – it contains moisturising and anti-aging properties and aims to let skin breathe whilst still concealing any dark circles or wrinkles. This is a full size product that usually costs £19.50, so you have pretty much made up the cost of the £13 monthly lookfantastic beauty box subscription by receiving this one product.

Us power women also like to go from day to night in one swoop of a body product and the St Tropez Instant Tan Body Gloss is here to do just that for us! This 30ml size (ususally costing £12 for 100ml) promises to add shimmer to arms, legs and anywhere else you might desire! This is perfect for popping in your handbag in case of emergency nights out after work – yes, I’m really going to do that!

Finally, when all of our day-to-night partying is done, we can rest our tired eyes with these refreshing Eye Catcher™ Smoothing Coconut Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Eye Mask from STARSKIN. This sachet usually costs £8.50 and contains bio-cellulose properties to ensure the delicate eye contour area is smoothed and soothed. It promises to brighten the eye area and is the perfect way to relax after a long day at work. I have a feeling I’m going to need to use it this week!
