Lookfantastic Summer Scent Edition

The latest launch from Lookfantastic is the Summer Scent edition, which, if you are fanatical about your fragrances, it could be just the box for you. The last Scent Edit from Lookfantastic was released back in May and it was quite the box, but I think this one is even better!
Lookfantastic Summer Scent Edition
Inside the box you will six fragrances from some incredible brands with everything from Paco Rabanne to Carolina Herrera and if you are wanting to find a new fragrance for an event, as a treat or even jut want to try something new, a box like this gives you the opportunity to do just that. I love fragrances, but I like trying them within my own surroundings, in places I frequent rather than in a store or department store, I like to know how something is going to work with my skin a few hours after application, once it has dried down, rather than purchase from one spritz.

Priced at just £55, the six fragrances inside the box are really good sample sizes with a mixture of 5ml, 6ml and 7ml, giving you more than enough of each fragrance to decide whether or not you might like it. But, there is also something else, inside the box you will also receive a £55 voucher inside the box and it is redeemable on one of the six full-size fragrance of your choice! SO essentially, you are being the chance to try before you buy!

Contents

  • Carolina Herrera Good Girl 7ml
  • Paco Rabanne Olympea Blossom 6ml
  • Paco Rabanne Lady Million 5ml
  • Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal 6ml
  • Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle 6ml
I am lucky enough to havw tried all of these fragrances and would find it really difficult to choose my favourite from these six, Olympea Blossom is one of those fragrances you can wear at any time on any day as is Lady Million and La Belle, but Good Girl and La Belle are definitely something a little bit special too.

Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser

I am really enjoying the Ole Henriksen Truth Collection that I have been working my way through and one of the products I’ve absolutely loved is the Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser.
Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser
The Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser is priced at £23 and it comes packaged inside a squeezy plastic tube with a flip top cap. It is also Vegan and a delight to use. As you can imagine, being a cleanser means it has a job to do and that is to remove dirt, oil, sunscreen as well as eye makeup including waterproof mascara as well as anything else lurking on the skin and in doing all of that, it should also leave your skin feeling fresh, clean, cleansed and super soft to the touch!

This Truth Juice daily cleanser has a really uplifting citrus orange scent, though it isn’t a sharp and zesty scent, much less zingy than that. The gel texture is really creamy and quite easy to massage onto the skin, this is one of those products where a little goes a very long way.  It does lather slightly when massaged onto the skin and in doing so, that orange scent, which comes from Orange Water is really noticeable and I am a big fan of the scent and it helps to revive and refresh the skin. Alongside the Orange Water we have PHA who has the task of helping to loosen and lift dead skin cells whilst the likes of what are referred to as being Truth Botanicals which are Orange, lemon, rosehip, Goji Berry and Sea Buckthorn extracts who come together to condition the skin.

I change when I use this cleanser depending on my mood and what I feel my skin needs. It’s ideal to be used both morning and evening, though I do prefer to use it as an evening cleanser because it works well with other products I like to use, especially as I like to double cleanse.  It’s worth noting that this cleanser doesn’t strip the skin or leave it feeling taut after use, it’s an absolute delight to use.

You can find the Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser on sale at Boots.

Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition

The August Time Of Your Life Beauty Box (TOYL) is quite the theme, designed to be the ultimate problem solver for those fine lines around the Neck plus the cleavage, Eyes and Lips with products that are said to plump, hydrate and soften so that you look even more amazing and of course are able to try some amazing brands and their products.
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
The box is worth is once again amazing value for money and is worth a massive £155.70 plus there is also a free product which is worth £5.85 and all you have to pay is £35, though I have a discount code at the bottom of this post which makes this box even cheaper!

The first product out of the box comes from Emma Hardie with the Lift and Sculpt Firming Neck Treatment (40ml - RRP £65.00) and I have a full review of it here.
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
Described as being a rich, hydrating, collagen boosting neck serum to help lift, sculpt, firm and tighten the skin on the neck and décolleté. The specially designed roller on the tube, which provides a deep massaging effect stimulates the neck allowing the serum to penetrate the skin. The serum is packed full of ingredients which seek to activate the production of high-quality collagen and leave the skin looking and feeling hydrated, firmer and a lot plumper. The roller can also be used when the product is "turned off" or closed as a facial massage tool as well.

The second product out of the box comes from Gatineau with the Hydra Aura Eclat De Soie Sleeping Mask (75ml - RRP £48.00) and it is a face mask you apply just before going to sleep.
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
Described as being a face mask which is designed to calm and hydrate, it is formulated with vitamin E, linoleic and amino acids, as well as active minerals. it is said this blend works to deliver intense moisture to target dry areas, plus with its anti-inflammatory properties your skin will appear radiance with a glowing, dewy surface.

The third product is the Instant Effects Deep Line Elixir (5ml - RRP £30.00) and it is described as being an age-defying, anti-pollution treatment that plumps skin for a younger-looking complexion.
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
It does make claims to give visible results in ten minutes that last eight hours and it uses what is referred to as a combination of OX2 PRO® Oxygen Transfer Technology, Birch Sap and a rich blend of active ingredients to work in harmony with the skin’s metabolism. These ingredients together not only enhance cellular energy to dramatically plump the skin but also works to increase skin elasticity and provide the skin with long-lasting hydration.

The fourth product of this box comes from the much loved DR PAWPAW with their Overnight Lip Mask (25ml - RRP £8.95), a product I was really wanting to try.  Said to be a 99% natural, vegan and cruelty free lip treatment, this is the newest product to the Dr PawPaw range.
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
Featuring a soft gel-like texture that melts as soon as it comes into contact with the lips, it quickly absorbs and isn’t greasy or tacky and it also has the inclusion of Natural Peptides to both plump lips and smooth any fine lines. I can imagine this being an incredible product for those winter months when lips become chapped really quickly with the change in weather.

The final product in this months box comes from Skyn Iceland with their Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels (single - RRP £3.75). 
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
Designed to help to improve the appearance of signs of ageing, leaving the eye area looking more awake and invigorated to create an illusion of youth. infused with highly potent actives plus Icelandic glacial water to firm, tone, brighten and reduce the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles.

This months freebie comes from Sanctuary Spa and it is their Supercharged Hyaluronic Face and Neck Crème (15ml - RRP £5.85 ). An intensive moisturiser which can be used both night and day.
Time Of Your Life Beauty Box - August Edition
It is enriched with Shea Butter which is really nourishing as well as Hyaluronic Acid, together these ingredients help to reinforce the skin barrier to lock in hydration and strengthen the skin’s natural defences. There is also a potent blend of Seaweed Extract and a Matrixyl Synthe’6™ complex works to plump and firm the facial contours and then both Lavender and Frankincense essential oils infuse the skin with an uplifting fragrance.

This box is worth £104.88 and could be yours for just £35.  If you didn't know, TOYL is a monthly subscription box and it costs just £35 a month, but, unlike other subscription boxes I’ve tried, you always have the option to pause your subscription and pick it up again when you are ready. So if there is a box you don't feel is right for you, you can hold that subscription and continue when you spot something you love, which in my case has been every month so far!
