July 2020 Look Fantastic Beauty Box - what was in it?

So back to the box format this month for the July Look Fantastic Beauty Box (last month's was in a clear plastic pouch). I liked that they mixed it up but I also love the boxes, they come in so handy so that's fine by me.


Again, the booklet was made digital this month which I fully approve of, and there was a small card explaining this. It's far more eco friendly.

First impressions
This month the box was orange and the filling was red. You always get that red folded shredding inside which can be reused for gifts. It is always exciting breaking the seal on the folded tissue paper, you never know what you're going to get!
What was inside? 
The items were a good mix including:
1. MYVITAMINS hair skin and nails, 30 capsules (you take two a day). Dated use by 10/2021 so plenty of time on these. I have had a look on the MY Vitamins website and these are actually out of stock (is that a good sign?). They are not available on the Look Fantastic website but interestingly there are collagen and beauty sleep versions from the same brand that range from £5 - £12 so quite a reasonable price.
Here's a good bit of science on the ingredients:

  •  Zinc and biotin contribute to the maintenance of normal hair and skin
  • Zinc and selenium contribute to the maintenance of normal nails.
  • Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin
  • Zinc and vitamin C contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress

2. Thisworks - small 10ml tube of morning expert hyaluronic serum
3. Vegan blush brush - I'm looking forward to this.It's an eco-friendly vegan blush brush ideal for applying a beautiful dash of colour and definition to the cheeks. It looks like a great ethical company and they have their own facebook page @soecobrushes
4. MONU spa tub of rose and lemon enriched body cream - a decent size at 100ml I am going to enjoy using this, it's a great brand.
5. Sleek matte me lip balm - looks a nice colour but I am not big on lip colours so may not use thi. It will remain sealed while I decide and if it's a no it will go in the next ebay bundle of things I don't use. I don't ask a fortune for the bundles, usually around £1 per item but they always sell!
6. Madara deep moisture regenerating night cream - 25ml. I will keep this sealed for now as I have only just started a NEOM night oil which was quite expensive so I am going to see it through but I do usually use a night cream or oil as I think they have plenty of time to sink in and do their goodness so I will get around to using this once I'm over the night oil!!

Prices
Again, let's take a look at the price of this sub box. With a 12 month sub it is £13 per box (each month) which includes free postage. This month you got six items in the box. I'd estimate £35 product at RRP is included (that is a guesstimate as I am not sure of the exact prices).

Final thoughts
This was a nice box and well worth the money. I am happy with everything in there.

What's next?
I think my next post will be some budget beauty discoveries I have made whilst on lockdown. I have bought online from the Online Pound Store and SAVERS plus I have been to town so there are a few new things to talk about. I've managed to resist the summer beauty boxes that I normally buy as I won't be travelling but it hurt not to get the M&S one! Until then, take care!
