LOOKFANTASTIC X Moroccanoil Limited Edition Beauty Box (Worth Over £92)

Lookfantastic are back with another Limited Edition Box and this time it is with MoroccanOil, a brand which definitely does not need any introduction.  Over the past few months, Lookfantastic have had some amazing boxes - Laura Mercier, the Scent Edit and Eve Lom to name a few, for me what I love is the focus on one brand, giving you the chance to try some of their best selling products.  This box is doing just that.

Packaged in a MoroccanOil blue patterned box, this Lookfantastic x Moroccanoil Limited Edition Box* is designed to give you an insight into what the brand is all about, treat your hair to an incredible pamper session and perhaps, just perhaps see what all the fuss and hype is about with one of the brands signature products!

Indulge in the blissful scents of the Moroccanoil haircare ritual with the LOOKFANTASTIC x Moroccanoil Limited Edition Beauty Box and treat yourself to luscious locks and the restorative power of the brand's signature Argan Oil.

This box has contents worth over £90 but is on sale right now, here, for just £30* and for your money, you are getting 6 products!

What’s in the Box:

• Moroccanoil Treatment Light 25ml - Worth £13.45
• Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo 250ml - Worth £16.95

• Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask 75ml - Worth £8.25
• Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream 75ml - Worth £8.95
• Moroccanoil Dry Body Oil 50ml - Worth £22

I love that there is everything you hair needs for a pamper session and being a fan of the Leave-in Conditioner, I am really glad to see that it has been included. For me, one of the best things about this brand, other than how it leaves my hair feeling, is that scent each product has, simply divine.

As always with these boxes, those who are subscribed to the monthly beauty box should have had an early access email and will find that they can grab this box* for just £25 instead of £30. For anyone else wanting to get it for £25, if you subscribed today you will get £5 off when you use code MOROCCANBB also.

Aldi x The White Company Dupes

Aldi has an incredible range of beauty products and they are well known for their dupes of Jo Malone, Pixi, Urban Decay and even Laneige. Today I am sharing some recently launched dupes of The White Company bath products.

I am a huge fan of Aldi, their bakery and flowers section is just incredible, but there is that middle aisle which people rave about and it is here that you discover these incredible dupes.

The thing with dupes is that they are similar but not the same, it is not an exact copy, despite the eye immediately assuming it is.  Today is the turn of Paradise, Aldi’s version of The White Company’s bath and body products, in particular the bestselling Seychelles range, which I absolutely adore.

The Aldi Paradise collection, of which I have a bath and shower gel, a hand wash and a hand lotion has a very similar scent - bergamot, amber and vanilla but that is where the similarity ends because it doesn’t feature the additional scent of orange, coconut and green jasmine found in The White Company’s collection.  So whilst the packaging is clearly inspired by The White Company, for me that is all there is.

The hand wash, which costs just £2.19 looks every bit the luxury item in your bathroom from afar. When used, it has a rich and foamy lather which is really moisturising on the skin without being harsh. The scent of bergamot, amber and vanilla most definitely evident too.

When paired with the hand lotion, which is also priced at £2.19, they make quite the duo and it makes a lovely accompaniment to the hand wash. As most of us have been washing and sanitising our hands more than ever before, the choice of hand wash and lotion are important to ensure our already drying skin is soothed. This hand lotion has a luxurious texture which absorbs quickly into the scent, leaving behind that wonderful scent.

The final item within this trio is the Paradise Bath and Shower Gel and again it costs just £2.19.

As the gel comes into contact with the steam of your bath or shower, the scent I’ve described of both the hand wash and lotion is slightly more noticeable and it lingers on the skin after using. Texture wise it is a little thicker than the hand wash and in the bath it creates a good amount of bubbles or in the shower a decent lather.

These Aldi Paradise products are impressive given the price they are sold, especially given each one saves you between £11-13 per item and some of these Aldi products are available online as well as in store, but as with all products, they only hang around for a short amount of time before disappearing or selling out.

#WeAreAllies

When great brands come together to form an alliance for a world-first campaign to tackle and highlight the amount of packaging waste in the beauty world, it grabs your attention!

Coming together with REN Clean Skincare is a collection of brands who form this alliance as part of the #WeAreAllies campaign.  Highlighting the fact that 70% plastic containers and packaging waste ends up in US landfills, a shocking figure I’m sure you will agree, with such a high figure, one brand on its own can only do so much, but with allies agreeing to join that campaign and to make a collective effort to make a positive change for our environment, that message becomes much more powerful.

By working together, sharing ideas and pioneering new solutions while at the same time raising awareness that will inspire other brands to follow suit with their own sustainable efforts.

So who are these brands and why are they part of the #WeAreAllies campaign? Working alongside REN Clean Skincare we have 4 other brands, from which I was sent some products as part of the campaign:

• Biossance - From Biossance is the 2021 Beauty Inc Award "100 Greatest Products of all time" and the 2020 Marie Claire Skin Awards "Best Facial Oil". This Biossance Squalene + Vitamin C Rose Oil. This is a luxurious lightweight oil which is said to deliver trifecta of skin-loving goodness in just 3 drops - hydrating, brightening and firming.  This oil is also housed inside a recyclable bottle and is EWG verified to reduce the environmental impact with every product created.
• Caudalie - From Caudalie is the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum which works to reduce all kinds of dark spots as it evens out the skin tone and boosts radiance. House in recyclable packaging, it is powered by Vine sap Viniferine which is proven to be 62x more effective than Vitamin C at brightening and to reduce dark spots appearance after just 1 bottle. Full review here.
• Herbivore - From Herbivore we have the Cloud Jelly Plumping Hydration Serum. This is a naturally derived plant-based serum which is formulated with Tremella Mushroom - an hyaluronic acid alternative, that leaves the skin feeling intensely hydrated, soft and visibly plump.  It also includes Vegan Collagen to moisturise and nourish skin while Strawberry Extract which is rich in antioxidants, including Vitamin C, to visibly brighten the skin.
• Youth to the People - From YTTP we have The Your Skin Goals Start Here nutrient-rich cleanser which is loaded with cold-pressed superfood extracts from kale and spinach which work to effectively cleanse the skin, remove build up in pores and at the same time balance pH without drying.

Finally from REN Clean Skincare we have the Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, which I have reviewed here. Housed in a 100% recycled plastic bottle, this tonic exfoliates, brightens, tightens and hydrates to give your complexion a smooth, even and energised complexion that gives your skin that glow without irritation.

I absolutely love this initiative, the fact that five brands can come together in a fight to protect our planet, by not being competitors but instead being Allies.  I hope more brands join REN Clean Skincare and the rest of these brands in their campaign.

Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glitter False Nails Collection

When it comes to wearing false nails, Elegant Touch is one of the brands who always spring first into my mind and they are a brand I have used for years, long before I turned to blogging. What I love about Elegant Touch is that as well as being really affordable, they have every kind of pattern, colour, shape and type of nails you can think of and better still, they have some amazing seasonal nails too.

I been kindly gifted a selection of nails from the Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glitter False Nails Collection, they are all really wearable, they feature glitter and as well as being really easy to apply, they are priced at just £6.50* each.

The first set of Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glow Getter Nails are called Glow Getter and I was immediately drawn to these because of their squoval shape (squared oval), the shape I always have my nails filed to whenever I have a manicure. 

With their light pink, pastel shade which features a really pretty iridescent glitter accent nail, as I've shown above, they are perfect for everyday wear and suitable for any occasion, plus they are said to last for up to 10 days of wear.

Next we have the Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Rosé All Day Nails, and they have an almond shape to them in the another shade of pastel pink the difference between these nails and the set above is that every nail has a gradient glitter effect over the tip.

Again, designed to last for up to 10 days, these nails also need to be applied using the adhesive glue which can be found within the pack of nails.

The final set from the Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glitter False Nails Collection that I have, are the Prosecco Poppin’ Nails.

These nails once again take on that squoval shape, like Glow Getter above and they are a really pretty light shade of Mauve and are described as having a duochrome gold glitter effect which is perfect for creating that accent nail. 

All three sets of these nails are described as being 'Ping Proof' and they come in 12 sizes with the nail glue that you need for the application, as well as a set of really easy to follow instructions, perfect if you have never used false nails before.

You can find Elegant Touch nails on sale in Superdrug, Feelunique and Lookfantastic and via their own website here.
