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.

Mr Blanc Teeth Whitening Strips This is a UK line of peroxide-free teeth whitening strips. I could stand to get my teeth whitened after three rounds of braces doing a number on my enamel, but my teeth are sensitive so I’ve never had them bleached. I’ve never tried strips before, so I gave them a go. They have a minty taste. We were sent three sets, which probably isn’t going to give you a great idea of how effective they are, but we’ll see.

Cowshed Cow Pat Moisturizing Hand Creme (8 £/$10 USD) This smells of coriander, grapefruit, and a touch of lavender — it’s pretty unisex. Cowshed’s mission statement promises natural and sustainable resources, no parabens, no sulfates, no animal testing, and no animal ingredients aside from beeswax and honey. I love it! Cowshed is based in the UK.

Naobay Oxygenating Cream ($36 USD for fullsize) I’ve received this before from Birchbox and I like it. Since it has no SPF in it, I would use this before bed along with my eye cream. Naobay products are made in Spain.

Korres Bergamot Pear Showergel (10 €/$11 USD for fullsize) This shower gel does contain sulfates, boo! Korres is usually pretty good about using quality ingredients but unfortunately this one doesn’t make the cut. It smells amazing, though.

TanOrganic Self Tan Oil (25 €/$27 USD) This tanning oil dries fast, doesn’t transfer, and smells awesome. I’m pale as can be, and I might have to try this, at least on my legs. There’s no colour guide (it applies clear) so you have to be pretty thorough with this.

Caudalie Premier Cru Eye Cream ($100 USD) Wow, this eye cream is expensive — I’m expecting miracles when a product is that pricey! Still, samples like these go a long way as the amount you use is so small. I’ve been using the eye serum I got in my Magnolia Post box last month lately, and I’m interested to compare results with this one.

DeadSea Spa Magik Beauty Balm (13.50 £/$17 USD) This beauty balm is award-winning in the UK and is packed with minerals for your skin. There’s only one shade, as is common with BB creams, and I think it’s a bit too yellow for me, but it blended in fine. It smells nice!

Swatched; I blended it in a little on the right.

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 psyched about Look Fantastic! I love that most of the items weren’t items that are easily found here in North America — I’m excited to try the whitening strips and the skincare especially. The box is definitely specifically geared more towards skincare than makeup, so I don’t think it could replace Birchbox or Ipsy completely just yet. Look Fantastic has limited edition/one time boxes as well similar to Birchbox, which I find exciting as well!
