Look Fantastic June 2016 Beauty Box

LFJetsetter Beauty Box

Look Fantastic June Beauty Box 2016

‘This month we’re taking you on a journey to become an #LFJetsetter! Your Beauty Box is packed full of treats that will make you gorgeous and beautiful ready for your travels. Their handy travel sizes will also mean you can pack them in your suitcase to stay radiant no matter where you are in the world! 

The June Look Fantastic Beauty Box* includes mostly skincare which is OK by me but I feel a lot of people would prefer more of an even mix of makeup and skincare. I do also like that you get a copy of Elle Magazine with this months box, I will be reading my copy on the beach this week.

#LFJetSetter Beauty Box June 2016

Cowshed Cow Pat Moisturising Hand Cream

This is a beautiful, rich & hydrating hand cream. It will keep your hands feeling nourished and smooth, especially after being in the sun all day long. This one is made with Chamomile, Grapefruit and Cinnamon so it smells fantastic too. This is a great size to pop in your handbag or take away with you on your holiday.

Korres Basil Lemon Showergel

I am a big fan of these Korres showergels & I recently finished the Water Lily one. They are gentle on the skin and smell grown up which I like as quite a lot of shower products smell overly sweet or artificial. I have the Basil Lemon one & it is infused with Vitamin C, E and also Zinc. Again this bottle is the perfect size for travel.

Caudalie Premier Cru Eye Cream

Caudalie is a brand that knows how to do excellent skincare. I haven’t had any of their products in my routine for a while so I am very excited to try this eye cream. It is infused with Copper and Silver and Iridescent Pearls, which help combat dullness and illuminate the skin. Ideal for those Summer no makeup days! This is a very generous size at 7ml, eye cream always lasts such a long time so this will keep me going for months.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box June 2016

Naobay Oxygenating Cream

This is made with 98% natural ingredients including Rosehip and Sweet Almond Oils, to keep your skin radiant, moisturised and smooth. This will be perfect for getting my legs prepped ready for Summer.

Dead Sea Spa Magik Beauty Balm

I am a big fan of BB Creams and think they make the perefect lightweight Summer base. This promised to give the skin a healthy holiday glow. It is infused with Dead Sea Minerals and Vitamin E so its nourishing and hydrating too.

Tan Organic Self Tan Oil

I have never used a self tan oil – although I am 100% in the fake tan camp. I try to stay out of the sun as much as possible. This sounds simple enough to use that even a tanning noob like me will be able to make it work. So you apply a liitle oil to the skin and massage it in, but make sure you have exfoliated well before hand. You don’t need to use a tanning mitt but make sure you wash your hands after application. This tan develops over 6-8 hours & you can apply more depending on how dark you like to tan. I am looking forward to bronzing up my legs & seeing how well this works.

Mr Blanc Teeth Whitening Strips

I’m always so worried to use anything whitening on my teeth, they are so sensitive as it is. These Mr Blanc Strips are peroxide free and promise to be gentle and won’t leave any lasting sensitivity. Have you used these? Would you recommend them?

I am quite pleased with this months box, I will get use out of all the products although I think I will pass on the Teeth Whitening Strips to a friend. I have never tried anything from Cowshed but I have heard nothing but positive reviews of this brand. Caudalie is always a lovely brand to see in beauty boxes & I am always excited to try anything from them.

What do you think of this months box?

These boxes always sell out super quickly so if you want this months #LFHelloBeautiful Box then you best be quick.

Five Under £5 June 2016

I don’t have 5 things this month, but I do have 4 really good things to share with you.  If you want to get involved and link up your monthly 5 Under £5 finds then head over to Julia’s blog at Rainbeaubelle.

PEZ £1.00

Yes I collect PEZ dispensers & have done for years. I have quite a collection & at last count I had over 200. These are my latest additions & I am pretty pleased with the Snoopy ones, they’re so cute. I always buy them when I see them in discount shops & I never pay more that £1.50. I need a neat way of displaying them & I’m thinking of a little DIY project, making something to go on the wall to put them all in. I will keep you posted.

Alpro Go On Yoghurts 80p

These are delicious & I have been trying to hunt them down for weeks, Cornwall always seems to be the last to get anything new but I have stocked up on these so I am good for the next few weeks. They are so creamy & the fruit is so sweet and refreshing. Even if you’re not into Alpro I highly recommend trying these, I think you will be surprised as to how nice they are. I only saw 2 flavours, Mango & Passionfruit, but I hope they release a few more.

Succulent Plant £3.99

My toilet downstairs has no windows & so I can’t keep a real plant in there which is a pain, so I have been on the hunt for an artificial plant. When I came across this succulent in The Range at first I thought it was real it looks so convincing. It goes perfectly in my small toilet and brings a little greenery to the space.They come in lovely mirrored pots & I think they’re cute and so inexpensive. I need to pop back in and get a couple more.

Clipper Love Me Truly Chai Tea £2.99

I LOVE Chai and this one from Clipper is not only beautifully packaged its also one of the tastiest I have tried. Its spicy and full of flavour. I wish I could buy it in bulk because I drink so many cups a day. Its what keeps me going.

Ogario Restore and Shine Hair Masque

Ogario haircare

Ogario Hair Mask

This award-winning hair masque from British haircare experts has been restoring my hair back to its former glossy healthy self after a cold dry winter & some really warm spring days. My hair has been a little neglected and the seasons take their toll.

Ogario products have been developed exclusively by London-based independent salon and their products contain so many beautiful natural ingredients. In fact, all their products are made with naturally-derived, active ingredients and essential oils.

Restore and Shine Lavender and Sage Hair Masque*

This is one of the nicest smelling products I have ever used, it’s sweet and floral with a hint of zesty citrus. It’s so uplifting.  This is quite a thick mask, that you leave on damp hair for at least 10 minutes & wash off to reveal healthy, nourished locks! It contains sage, lavender, nettle, avocado, olive, and aloe extracts and oils which add shine, strengthen and eliminate frizz.

My hair feels so soft after using this treatment and it’s great at taming frizz too, which is great because I have naturally wavy hair & it can be prone to flyaways and especially frizzy ends.

Ogario restore and shine hair masque

If you use this once / twice a week you will see great results, I’m loving how glossy and manageable my hair is & I think this 200ml pot is going to last me well into the Summer. You only need a small amount & I like to concentrate the product on the ends & mid-length of my hair. That way, it doesn’t weigh down my hair or leave my roots greasy.

Ogario Haircare

I would say this is on the pricey side, but it is a hair treatment so it’s not to be used more than twice a week, which means a tub will last you months! It’s an investment into naturally glossy, healthy hair & well worth the price tag.

Ogario have a great range of haircare that you can purchase online at www.ogariolondon.com & they have a few store stockists but only in London & Kent
