As in keeping with the brand colours, the 2021 Jo Malone London Advent Calendar is being launched in the much loved and recognised ultra-chic cream and black packaging.

Available now at Selfridges

This Advent Calendar is already predicted to be a sell-out and I just love how it has been packed. It contains 24 treats to indulge in and as with last years version, there will be mini fragrances, candles and soaps in bestselling new scents such as fig and lotus flower, which sounds absolutely delightful.

This years Jo Malone London Advent Calendar will be launching online on 1 October in stores from 18 October and it will be priced around £325 (it was £320 last year) and as with many other Advent Calendar's for 2021 this one also features a new refillable design, so it won’t go to waste once December is over and it looks to be a good enough size to be used for storing beauty and makeup samples.

Lookfantastic x Revolution limited edition Beauty Box Revealed

The latest launch to come from Lookfantastic is their Lookfantastic x Revolution limited edition Beauty Box.  Lookfantastic have had a whole host of limited edition boxes in recent months, Nuxe was the latest to reveal itself and there is still a few more to come.

Described as being a great early item to pop into your festive present pile, the Lookfantastic x Revolution limited edition Beauty Box is said to feature 9 products which are designed to overhaul your make-up kit and inject some colour into your routine.  If you are a fan of Revolution, formally Makeup Revolution, then you will have seen the journey that this brand has been on over the last few years and having gone from a fairly small high-street brand sold online and in Superdrug, they have pretty much duped everything there is to do from makeup and skincare, to beauty accessories and now hair care and there is seemingly no signs of them slowing down.

Want to know which products feature in the Lookfantastic x Revolution Limited Edition box? I’ve shared them below.

Contents

• Revolution Skincare Roller
• Revolution Beauty Soap Styled
• Revolution Pout Bomb Plumping Gloss 
• Revolution Pro Powder
• Revolution Skincare 15% Niacinamide Super Serum
• I Heart Revolution Heartbreakers Highlighter
• Revolution Pro Crystal Eyeshadow Quad
• Revolution Lift and Define 5D Mascara
• Revolution Pro Goddess Glow Setting Spray

These nine items within the box are said to have a combined worth £77 but, as usual with Lookfantastic you can get the box for £30 and it is on sale right now!

Revolution Pro Rock Star Hydrating Shine Lipstick

It has been a while since Revolution Pro has caught my attention but these Revolution Pro Rock Star Hydrating Shine Lipstick (£8 here) did just that and I quickly ordered two of the six shades on offer.

Available in six classic shades, each lipstick is housed in an elegant soft-close magnetic case with gold details and they do have an air of Tom Ford about the design and all for a difference in price between £30-£36! 

Want high-shine glamour and incredible colour in one swipe? Look no further than the Revolution Pro Rockstar Hydrating Shine Lipsticks!

The Revolution Pro Rockstar Hydrating Shine Lipsticks are formulated with seven key actives and their role is to nourish the lips while at the same time providing high shine and intense pigment in one swipe.

Key Ingredients

• Hyaluronic Acid – helps to keep lips hydrated
• Peptides – helps to keep lips looking plump
• Squalane – helps to keep lips soft and smooth
• Aloe Vera – helps to keep lips moisturised
• Shea Butter – helps to retain moisture and avoid dry lips
• Jojoba Oil – help to sooth and condition lips
• Cherry Blossom Oil – this helps to maintain lips natural pigmentation and colour

The six shades - Cashmere, Fever, Stripped, Passion, Joy and Velvet. In lieu of being able to see these lipsticks up close, as it was during lockdown when I ordered them, I took a chance and selected both Joy and Velvet.

As you can see from the swatches above, which as always will remain unedited, you see them how I see them from a simple swatch, these lipsticks are impressively pigmented and it glides onto the lips so smoothly as the formula is incredibly creamy.

The two shades I chose are both incredible wearable and having made a choice just from what I saw online, i’m pretty impressed with my choice, the shades:

• Velvet – Pink With Neutral Undertone (Rosewood Pink)
• Joy – Nude with Warm Undertone (Warm Brown)

Of these two shades, Velvet is the one I’ve found the most wearable for every day use, but Joy is just as lovely.  

For £8 these lipsticks are worth every single penny, from a quick glance you would never guess they are highstreet branded lipsticks, for me they are on part with some of the higher end branded lipsticks I own and wear with the formula, how easily they apply and even the longevity. Once applied Velvet lasts 4-5 hours before needing to be re-applied and Joy slightly less but still a really good wear time.
