Look Fantastic June Beauty Box Review

It’s very rare that I purchase beauty boxes now.

I used to have regular subscriptions years ago – Look Fantastic, Birchbox and My Little Box were the main ones. Once I realised I had way too many products, I cancelled them all. Now I only purchase them once every so often. The last one I purchased was the Cosmetips box, so I could finally try a Natasha Denona palette. This time I purchased June’s Look Fantastic box* because for the first time I’d seen a box where I knew I’d use every single item in the box.

For a start, how amazing is the bag? I don’t normally like ‘free’ cosmetics bags, but loved this. I knew it would be perfect for future travels. I also loved the blue theme of this box. It’s a perfect summery colour.

As I purchased this as a one off box, it was £15 with free shipping. If I’d have signed up to the yearly subscription, it would have dropped to £13 a box. Even at £15, this is a massive bargain for everything you get in it.

Sheet Masks

Only one sheet mask was advertised, so to receive both was a nice a surprise. I don’t use sheet masks regularly any more, just because of the environmental impact of them. It’s nice to have them every so often as a treat, as I do believe they work.

The first one was from Oh K! I’ve tried a couple of things from this brand before and not been that impressed. I believe it isn’t actually Korean, just uses ‘Korean ingredients’. This mask is £6* to purchase on its own and it’s not your usual sheet mask, it’s actually a hydrogel mask. I’ve tried a couple of this style before and I’m not sure whether I like them? This mask claims to aid hydration which I definitely need right now, as I’ve just started using tret. The second mask is a traditional sheet mask and from a Korean brand I’ve used before. This is also £5.99 full price and is all about plumping and anti-aging.

Hair brush

Glov is a brand I’d never heard of before, but this brush looks similar to a Tangle Teezer.

This is a nice size and ideal for travel where you don’t want to take a huge brush. I’ve yet to test if it fares as well as a Tangle Teezer with my knotty hair. I couldn’t find this available in the UK, but was able to find it for 7.50 on their site.

SPF

In keeping with the holiday theme, there were two SPF products in here.

The first is a Factor 50 from Polaar that I’ll be using everywhere but my face (because I already have a face SPF I’m happy with). I’m sure I’ve tried this brand before and liked it. This is £22 for 50ml, meaning the 20ml size is worth about £8.80. This is pretty expensive as SPF goes, but for something used on the face, this is in line with what I already use. Next is some lip protection, which I’ve been needing for a while. It’s so easy to forget lip SPF when you’re out in the sun, and I could tell my lips were affected by my daily walks. This is worth £6* and will see me right through Summer. I’ve used this a few times already and it keeps my lips soft and protected.

Hair care

Anyone else’s hair feeling rough during lockdown?

The full size of this is £15 for 140ml so this sample is worth just over £3. I’m looking forward to trying this in the shower this week!

Bodycare

You can’t go wrong with a lovely Molten Brown shower gel. I’ve used this brand for years and there isn’t anything I’ve tried that I haven’t liked.

The colour is really nice and in keeping with the theme. The scent is lovely and fresh and the full size of this is £22, so this 100ml is worth just over £7.

This box was such amazing value.

Based on my calculations this was worth £38. So much more than the £15 price for the box. I always say though, a subscription box is only truly worth it if you’ll use it enough to match the value. As I’ll use everything in here, this was a fantastic purchase. That even excludes how much the bag is likely worth.

Like I mentioned at the start, this is a perfect travel bag for my skincare. I just need to be allowed to travel somewhere with it!

I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out on future Beauty Boxes from Look Fantastic*. If they’re all as good as this in the future, I’ll be purchasing more.
