lookfantastic Beauty Box is a monthly beauty subscription from the UK.  This box is currently $22 per month, but goes down to $16.50 per month on an annual plan and ships free to the US and Canada! In every box you’ll get a hand-picked selection of must have beauty fixes, which are wrapped in a beautifully presented box and delivered straight to your door. It will always include a minimum of six products.

First look! The Elle magazine and the box itself are shipped together inside a plain cardboard packing box — I’ll show you all the magazine at the end!

There is a magazine by Look Fantastic in each box as well — this includes the product information, makeup tutorials, style highlights, and other features.

Everything looks great, very editorial!

The branding continues right down to the sticker on the tissue.

Everything shifted during transit! But the paper squiggles did their job keeping everything safe.

Prices/values are calculated off the sample size based on retail price of the original. (Converted from GBP in most cases to CAD and USD!)

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil ($10CAD/$8 USD) Oh wow, I’m so pleased to see this! This is one of the new products in Benefit’s brow line (they’ve also revamped the packaging on their old brow products as well) and the sample is a really decent size! (0.001oz to the fullsize 0.003oz) I was sent Shade 2 which is a lighter shade but I think I can make it work.

In Transit Camera Close-Up ($25 CAD/$19 USD) A 3-in-1 product that Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice!) swears by. Anything that combines three skincare steps into one is going to make me happy — it’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, and my skin feels soft and smooth after applying. This sample size is actually half the fullsize, which is awesome!

Silk Anti-Frizz Cream ($1.95 CAD/$1.50 USD) Full of jojoba and argan oil, this is an anti-frizz smoothing cream that also acts as a straightening product and heat protectant. I am desperately in need of something like this with the hot summer weather, so I’m happy to see this as well!

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or ($6.50 CAD/$5 USD) This is a shimmery version of Nuxe’s award-winning dry oil. I love anything sparkly — turn me into a Twilight vampire! — and it smells great. You can use this for your face, body and hair, though I don’t think I’d use it on my hair as mine is very fine. It also smells great. I was surprised at how reasonably priced the fullsize product is — only about $25 USD which isn’t bad at all! (This sample is about 1/3 the size of the full.)

BellaPierre Lip and Cheek Stain ($20 USD) This lip and cheek stain is creatively called Pink. I don’t mind BellaPierre products but I’m picky about lip and cheek duo products. I usually end up using them only on my lips unless they’re super easy to apply and control on the face, and this is a stickier balm sort of texture. This is also a fullsize item!

MiTi Hair Ties ($8 USD) I actually got something similar in my stocking at Christmas last year, and I really like them! These hair ties are made of coiled plastic not unlike an old school phone cord. They hold your hair securely and don’t leave indents behind when you take them out. I don’t find them comfortable to sleep with, though.

The box comes with next month’s issue of Elle UK! The magazine is actually a lot smaller than our Elle; it’s exactly the same size as the box itself.

I’m seriously loving Look Fantastic! It’s definitely replaced the Birchbox-sized hole in my heart, and is even beating out Topbox when it comes to beauty boxes. I loved how there was something for makeup, haircare, and skincare, and the new Benefit product was great and I’m excited to try. The value is awesome — just over $60 USD!
