    LookFantastic October Beauty Box Review

    It’s the end of October already but better late than never I guess. So here is a review of this month’s LookFantastic Beauty Box.

    Balance Me Radiance Face Mask

    I’ve used this face mask before and you can read my full review of it here. As it is a product that I’ve previously used and liked, I was quite happy to find it in this month’s box.

    Percy & Reed Smoothed, Sealed & Sensational Volumizing No Oil Oil

    As someone with ‘big hair’, who uses copious amount of ‘actual oil’ to add moisture,  this isn’t exactly a product targeted at me. I will be quite honest in saying that I haven’t tried this product, nor do I intend to (for obvious reasons) but I’m sure I’ll be able to give it to a friend who will find it useful.

    Look Good Feel Better Eye Shading Brush

    I currently use a few of the Look Good Feel Better makeup tools and so I was happy when I saw this eye shading brush in this month’s box. Like the other LGFB brushes, it’s super soft and it works perfectly for applying and blending eyeshadow.

    Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

    I’m always happy to find new skincare in a beauty box. I’ve not tried any Murad products before and although I’m still yet to try this exfoliating cleaner (due to the fact that I currently have a few on the go), I’m sure it will come in handy for when I’m next travelling and need to take a miniature.

    Monu Firming Moisturiser

    I had never previously heard of Monu skincare but I must say that I am pleased with this moisturiser. It does what it says and helps to firm the skin and you can feel it working instantly. It’s not greasy and it sits well under makeup, which I particularly like.

    Elemis Hydra-Balance Day Cream

    I really like this day cream. It’s been ideal for my skin whilst being on holiday, as after coming in from the sun it was nice to refresh and apply this day cream to restore moisture and hydration to my skin. It really does help to hydrate the skin and you can instantly feel it soak in. – I’d probably buy this product in full size in the future!

    Nuxe Paris Hand and Nail Cream

    I’m surprised I haven’t finished this hand cream already. I’ve been carrying this around in my handbag on a daily basis and using it on the go. It doesn’t feel too oily and keeps my hands moisturised for a good amount of time. This miniature size has actually really come in handy when my handbag has been stuffed to the brim.

    Overall that’s another LookFantastic Beauty Box that I’ve been pleased with. I’ve received a good selection of products, some of which have really come in handy and others which I would purchase in the future.

    Have you tried any of these products?

  • Look Good Feel Better Makeup Tools

    Look Good Feel Better Makeup Tools

    With all my makeup and what not, I feel one thing that I seriously lack is a wide range of appropriate tools/brushes for applying it. I think my problem is that I spend too much time looking for and purchasing fancy makeup and not enough time focusing on which tools to buy to apply it. Don’t get me wrong, I always have a foundation brush and that sort of thing but I have to say I’m not the most adventurous when it comes to purchasing new ones and their are so many out there, it’s often hard to choose.

    A brand that is new to me is Look Good Feel Better. After recently being introduced to it and trying out some of their makeup tools I’m pleased to say that not only are their makeup brushes great but they also support a great cause too as the LGFB charity supports women struggling with the visible side effects from their cancer treatment.

    Flawless Complexion Sponge

    Look Good Feel Better Flaweless Cmplexion Sponge

    At first I wasn’t so sure about this sponge. I’ve had them used on me in the past by makeup artists and they have always done a great job but for me I just wasn’t getting the same results… Until I got used to the technique. I had to remind myself that this isn’t a foundation brush, it’s a sponge and so rubbing it around my face was just dragging my foundation around and not really blending it. I’ve found that dabbing works best to blend the product when using this sponge and using the tip actually works perfectly for when you’re trying to conceal spots or blemishes.

    Angled Contour Brush

    Look Good Feel Better Angled Contour Brush

    One thing I was serioulsy in need of was a new contour brush. This one works like a dream, as the rounded angle of the brush works perfectly to lightly contour my cheeks without making my bronzer come out looking too harsh. The brush is so soft and it’s probably my favourite one out of the three.

    Powder Brush

    Look Good Feel Better Powder Brush

    This brush (like the contour bush) is so soft and it perfectly and lightly helps me to apply just the right amount of powder to my face so that I can decrease shine without looking too powdery. It’s been ages since I found a powder brush that I liked as much as this one and I’m really pleased with it.

    Look Good Feel Better - Samio

    Overall I’m really happy with these Look Good Feel Better makeup tools and I’d definitly recommend them. I’d now really like to try out more of the brushes from their range too.

    Have you tried anything from the Look Good Feel Better range? What’s your favourite brand of makeup tools and brushes?
