Look Fantastic’s Box of November Novelties

With October’s beauty Box setting high expectations, it’s sequel had big shoes to fill; and thankfully November’s Beauty Box was the perfect fit!

With two beautiful lip treats and two skin saviours; I’m in Heaven. I’d definitely recommend the below products for anyone with normal to dry skin like myself and those sassy ladies who love a red lip.

Ren V-Cense Youth Vitality Day cream

Always on the look out for moisturizers that will leave my skin feeling smooth, refreshed and hydrated, imagine my delight when I came across this little gem. Not only is this face cream deeply nourishing and hydrating but it also smoothes out and prevents any fine lines and wrinkles. Of course I haven’t used the cream long enough to advocate it’s age defining benefits, however I do know that it is a genuinely intensely nourishing cream that smells incredible (owing to the Shea Butter, Camelia Seed and Orange Flower Oils).

OLEHENRIKSEN Empower Foaming Milk Cleanser

I find cleansing so therapeutic; ridding my skin of all the impurities built up overnight/throughout the day is just so satisfying for me. I like to be as thorough as possible and take my time when cleansing, so I may as well do it with a product that promises to completely cleanse my face, while leaving me with that smooth, supple glow. This foaming milk cleanser ticks all my cleanser need boxes!

Although the Ole Henriksen cleanser does effortlessly remove all my make up and leave my skin feeling soft; I must deviate slightly and draw your attention to the incredible woody, citrus notes (owing to the willow bark extracts) that make my skin smell absolutely delicious.

I’ve been using this cleanser for almost a week now; I just lightly wash my face with luke warm water and then lather onto my face a couple of pumps and using a cotton pad cleanse and wipe off all my make up. I then tone and moisturize as usual.

Dr.PAWPAW Tinted Ultimate Red Balm

I feel naked when I find myself without some kind of lip balm or lipstick whilst out and about and so I always have at least three to choose from in my bag! I’m always intrigued to discover new lip balms, especially when they’ve come recommended. I’ve heard lots about the original Dr. PAWPAW lip balm and the healing qualities of the pawpaw (papaya) fruit; believed by many to be the ‘finest natural medicine yet discovered’ no less!

So imagine my glee in finding the tinted Dr. PAWPAW lip balm in my Beauty Box. I love this lip balm; it leaves my lips feeling smooth and deeply moisturized with a subtle red tint. I’ll definitely be purchasing the full size once my mini runs out.

Bellapierre Mineral Lipstick

I love red lips; they add that touch of glam to any look. This mineral lipstick applied really smoothly, much like applying a lip balm and due to the natural waxes and mineral pigments , iron oxides and antioxidants used to formulate Bellapierre lipsticks, my lips were left feeling super soft. I usually opt for matte lipsticks as feel they suit me more than shiny lipsticks, however, for this little beauty, I’m happy to make an exception.

This lipstick delivered long lasting colour (took me a couple of hours before re-applying) and is enriched with orange, as well as red tones. The mineral pigments within the lipstick also promise natural UV protection.

As is to be expected with the gamble of a Beauty Box, there were a couple of products that I won't use myself, however I do know a couple of lucky girls that I can gift them to.

Kebelo Enriching Hair Masque

This enriching hair masque has been formulated specifically for naturally dry hair; as this is not my hair type, I haven't yet given it a whirl. With nourishing and deeply moisturising qualities, this little Kebelo number promises to upgrade tresses from dry and brittle to silky smooth and nourished.

With it's generous offering of natural ingredients, from guar sugar to argan oil joining forces to repair and restore dry strands, the Kebelo enriching masque leaves dry hair 'feeling more fabulous than ever'.

Korres Guava Shower Gel

I am quite fussy with the shower gels I use as I'm a little particular when it comes to fragrances; so I do have my favourites that I tend to stick to such as the Body Shop strawberry, and shea butter and Lush rose jam body washes.

However, this Guava shower gel looks particularly tempting; containing wheat proteins that form a protective film on the skin delivering lasting moisture. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and antioxidant enzymes, not only will it leave you feeling completely nourished and hydrated but will also enhance the skin's immune system.
