Lookfantastic Beauty Box - It's Time To Blossom April Edition

This months Lookfantastic Beauty Box has such a pretty theme to it.  Around this time of the year, social media feeds are full of  posts featuring Blossom, especially cherry blossom, which is just stunning to see and smell. My own local park is full of bright pink and white blossom trees in full bloom. So the team over at Lookfantastic have taken the Blossom theme and its Japanese symbolism to reinforce the message that loving yourself is paramount and along with that sentiment pink is definitely the theme of this months box.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box - It's Time To Blossom April Edition
Inside the box there is six products across the skincare and makeup category, so whether you like to try new and emerging brands or something you might be more familiar with, there is definitely something here you will recognise.

First out of the box for me is Mayfair Lane nail polish from Nails Inc which can best be described as being a Ballerina Pink shade and one which is perfect for Spring and Summer.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box - It's Time To Blossom April Edition
Highly pigmented to provide exceptional coverage, this nail polish glides on effortlessly and the extra wide brush ensures easy application. One thing I love about Nails Inc polishes is the width of the brush because it makes the application so easy with less streaks.

The second item within the box comes from Glov with the Scrubex and it is described as being the exfoliating accessory for soft and kissable lips.

I was expecting to find a lip scrub in the form of a balm before opening this up, so I was intrigued to find that it is infact an exfoliating finger glove which you use with water to gently scrub your lips to remove dead and dry skin cells. I have tried it already and I am impressed with just how effective it is!

The third product comes from Beauty Pro with the Rose infused sheet mask which is described as being a botanical based face mask which is formulated to heal and soothe.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box - It's Time To Blossom April Edition
The anti-inflammatory-rich formula, which includes a cocktail of botanical extracts, including Rose, works to soothe skin of the appearance of redness and irritation, leaving touchable softness and a dewy, glowing finished aesthetic, with the risk of breakouts drastically reduced. Blemishes and imperfections appear minimised thanks to the cooling, gentle components within the mask.

The fourth product comes from one of my favourite brands Ren with their Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, a full review of this product can be found here.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box - It's Time To Blossom April Edition
Designed to hydrate and replenish, this cream is perfect for sensitive and delicate skin that is regularly exposed to pollution. The cream's job is to soothe and protect skin whilst helping to combat the discomfort, redness and sensitivity that can cause premature ageing.

Next out of the box comes the Pink Orchid Subtle Restoring Overnight Serum from Avant and it is described as being a serum that helps hydrate the skin and combat signs of stress and fatigue.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box - It's Time To Blossom April Edition
This serum, which feels divine on the skin, is designed to support the skin during sleep, helping to replenish essential moisture reserves and lessen dry patches that can make skin look dull, relieving the most common signs of stress and fatigue.

The final item in the box comes from Eylure with the 3/4 length No.11 Light & Wispy Lashes with glue included.
Lookfantastic Beauty Box - It's Time To Blossom April Edition
These lightweight lashes are designed to give your makeup look a bit of added oomph. They have a winged shaped which helps give the eye that elongated look and they are said to be  quick to apply and gentle to remove.

Once again from Lookfantastic is a really lovely mixture of products within this box and I also love the theme. Lookfantastic Beauty is a monthly subscription service* which starts at £15 per month. There is also further membership offers of signing up for a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription to save money.

Positive Daily Affirmations

I love a good motivational quote and for me Pinterest is somewhere I can spend hours of my time looking for the exact quote I need, something that gets me out of that mood I am in, gives me a good shake and reminds me of how lucky I am. Just recently I’ve been saving positive Affirmations to a new board, something that as well as a quote, makes you really think about how much stress we all put on ourselves, usually with a comparison to something someone else has, is doing or has got.
Positive Daily Affirmations
An Affirmation is described as being a positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome those self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. It is said that when you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes to your life, sense of well-being, outlook and moods. Many of us have negative thoughts which include something along the lines of “I will never have a house as nice as that” or “I am not good enough to work with that brand”, having thoughts such as these is part of who we are, but when we think like this, our confidence, mood and outlook can become negative and you end up just feeling utterly worthless. So an affirmation and a little bit of self-belief might be just the tonic to help those thoughts.

Here are some of my favourites.
