I'm a bit late with this one but how has March been and gone already? We're already halfway through April too so the next post will have to go out soon! Anyway, now that I've received the Look Fantastic March Beauty Box, I've now reached my first quarter of the boxes and so far, so good. They've all been really interesting, with many products that I've been interested in trying, and this box is no exception.


Once again, there is a different colour scheme with this, with a nice sleek black box with bright pink tissue paper. I love the fact that they do change it up on a monthly basis, because it gives the element of surprise, even when it's just the box, so you are left wondering what the next box will look like.


Out of all of the products, I've only heard of two, Starskin and St. Tropez. I've actually wanted to buy something from Starskin but haven't really got round to it, so this is a good way for me to get introduced to their products and see if I actually do like them (which I'm sure I will). With St. Tropez, I've seen it in most drugstores but never really had much of an urge to go and buy something myself. Aside from them, lets have a look at everything in the March Beauty Box.


As mentioned above, I've seen this brand about in many places. I actually bought a self-tan foam  ages ago which I think I used once (literally a slither on my leg), didn't use again and when I found it amongst the rest of my bath and beauty stuff, it was blue(?) I'm assuming that's just what it does over time, but didn't think it would be blue, haha. Because I'm quite pale, I've always been put off using self-tanning products, just because I'm not sure if I'd look any good with a tan. But seeing as this is a gloss and in a small amount, it may work better for me but I'm not sure what is good and bad in terms of tan so really, it's just going to be down to personal preference. This is only a 30ml tube but a 100ml can cost around £12 so this is a good tester for me, as I wouldn't want to spend that much on something and use it once and waste it like the other one.


Next product is from the Skin Chemists. It's the Aqua Repair Facial Serum. I've not heard of this brand but I'm always pretty keen on finding new skincare products. My skin does have it's moments of being a right pain in the butt and have recently found products that have made it so good but you can never have too many products in your skincare routine. Being small in size, this will be handy if you wanted to take it with you on holiday. Looking on their site, it's main active ingredients are Rose Water, to calm and soothe the skin; Allantoin, which aims to moisturise and soothe, due to it's healing and anti-inflammatory properties and finally, Aloe Vera, which stimulates the healing process of the skin. Going by that it's £29 for the 30ml tube, it must be pretty good, so definitely going to be reaching for this one when my face is due for a deep cleanse.


For beauty, we have the Pür Disappearing Act Concealer. I've only ever bought drug store concealers so I don't know what it's like to get something high end. For this small pot, it's $24 (about £19) which is quite expensive, but I'd like to think that it's going to hide my dark circles and blemishes really well. Not only will it make me look awake and blemish-free, it contains natural ingredients in the formula, which will actually care for your skin. Although it's a thick-creamy consistency, it glides and thins out nicely on the skin, so there won't be any massive build up where you've applied it. The company don't test their products on animals, which is really good.


Fourth in the line up is the Caudalie VineActiv 3-in-1 Moisturiser. Like I've said before, I'm always up for trying new skincare products, especially when it comes to moisturisers. I've always found cream moisturisers don't work with me as much as a gel, purely because it's more oily. Luckily, I don't suffer with mega dry skin so I don't have to use too much but I don't like the oily feeling when I do use it. Not all of them have the same outcome, which is why I'm keen to try different things, to see what works and what doesn't. All of the ingredients, such as Vitamin C and E and Hyaluronic Acid) combined will work together to give you brighter, healthier-looking skin. A 40ml tube is being sold for £32, another pricey product but it's great that these sorts of products are a part of these boxes.


I wasn't really sure what this was on first appearance but reading into it further, it's self-heating hair mask from Redken, called heatcure. It delivers deep conditioning to restore your hair's look and feel, so you can go back to being your sassy self ;) It contains argon oil and soy protein, amongst other beneficial ingredients and it's a simple process. You just need to peel the seal, which will then start the self-heating (so clever). After leaving that to heat for 3-4 minutes, you tear of the top of the sachet, squeeze and apply the product to your hand, which you'll then want to evenly distribute on your hair. Just leave it for 5-10 minutes, wash it away and you're done. These are about £30 for a pack of 4 so they are quite a pricey product but can't say no to trying this out.


Last but not least, is the Starskin Eye Catcher Smoothing Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Eye Masks. As mentioned above, I have heard this brand through other bloggers. I saw people hyping up their face masks but didn't know they did eye masks. These have been designed to reduce puffiness and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles, which is pretty standard. Ingredients include vitamin rich coconut juice, liquorice root extract, blueberry extract and broccoli extract (yes broccoli). All of these, alongside everything else that's been packed in, will give you hydration and make the eye area appear brighter and radiant, all within 15 minutes. To be honest, I've never used eye masks before so I'm really keen to use this during a pamper session one night. On Beauty Bay, two of these will cost £8.50, which isn't too bad but there may be cheaper alternatives out there.


So that is everything in the March Look Fantastic Beauty Box. Again, there isn't anything that I'm disappointed with, so another thumbs up from me. I'm not sure how many of these I'll do, because I'm worried that I'm repeating myself too much but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Have you tried any of these products?

I'm a BIG fan of tea. It's one of my favourite beverages and I don't have a day where I don't have atleast one cup of tea. About 2 weeks ago, I was contacted by a company called teatourist, where they wanted to send me their March box. I was a little intrigued so I had a little look on their website and saw that it was a subscription box containing 6 sachets of tea of different flavours from different companies. I said that I would love to give it a try and so one headed my way.

It arrived about 3 days later through the letter box, which is good as you don't have to worry about being at home for it to arrive but I couldn't wait to have a little look to see what I got. Contained in a grey and green themed box, a little leaflet, a note from the company (just saying to enjoy it) and last but not least, the brightly coloured green and orange box, containing all the tea. When you open it up, there is a print of hot air balloons on the inside, which is so cool.


Now, for the exciting bit, THE TEA! Looking over the 6 sachets, all the flavours, I imagine, are going to taste really good. Each sachet will make you about 4 cups so you're going to have plenty of tea. In this box, we have:

• Numeric Root Chai by Chai Kai Tea Co. "Hints of vanilla and coconut combined with a creamy milk oolong provide a perfectly balanced blend of floral, citrusy goodness." Not had chai that much before, but this sounds pretty tasty.
• Wilderness Honeybush by Leopard Friendly. "A fragrant wellness tea" which is "naturally sweet, caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants." This will be a good one if you're feeling a bit unwell and need something to give you a bit of a boost.
• Chocolate Orange by Nelson & Norfolk Tea Co. Its "harmonious blend of chocolatey goodness brings natural chocolate notes and zesty orange that deliver a delicate cream flavour". This sounds beaut!
• Honey Lemon Morning Blend by Teagime. "Bee pollen and lemon provide a well-balanced citrusy sweet flavour, whilst the addition of elderflower and liquorice root delivers immunity boosting powers". Definitely one if you have a cold or flu.
• Mulled Apple Brandy from Nothing But Tea. It has been described as "Fine White Tea leaves infused with apple flavours, combined with cinnamon and a generous glug of brandy, creates a heart-warming brew." Sounds delish!
• Rose & Strawberry Red Bush by Spice Kitchen. "This Rooibos infused blend makes for a tasty aromatic tea that will truly delight your taste buds." I've had lots of fruit teas before so this one, I'm sure is going to be tasty.

Each sachet contains a nice handful of tea leaves and if you lift it up, there is your brewing guide, which tells you how to make this tea taste amazing, by giving basic instructions on how many teaspoons, how long to brew it for and the temperature of the water, alongside a tea profile, describing it's origin, whether it contains caffeine and what it's best to be used for (relaxation, to get an energy boost etc). On the back of it, it just gives more a description on the tea, what's it's best served with (if anything), the ingredients, allergy notes and the best before date. You also get discount codes so if there is a specific tea you like and you wanted more, you can atleast save 10% on your purchase, which is awesome.


Although I haven't tried the flavours myself, the one that I am looking forward to trying the most is the Chocolate Orange flavour. I've never really tried a tea that tastes like chocolate so I'm really intrigued to try this. I'm so happy that I've been introduced to this and just want to thank teatourist for providing me with this box, you guys are awesome.

Have you tried a teatourist box? Which would be your favourite tea?

Although this product was sent to me from the company, this blog post is not sponsored and all opinions are my own and honest!

Another month has passed. I cannot believe that we're finished with February already. It'll be Christmas in no time! But, what it does mean is that I've received another Look Fantastic Beauty Box. I really liked the contents of the January box, so I was so excited to see what will be in the February box. I hope I have this feeling every month!


Instantly, I see that the box colour and theme is different to last months, which is a nice touch. Included is the February edition of ELLE magazine, alongside their own one, just like January. What else is different? The products! Let's get into the February Look Fantastic Beauty Box.

I've never signed up for beauty subscription boxes before. I have been looking into them for a while, but just never got round to buying one myself. For Christmas, my boyfriend said that he'd pay for me to have a subscription to a beauty box for 12 months, suggesting that Look Fantastic appeared to be a front runner. I went with his suggestion and so, I'm now looking forward to getting 12 boxes full of different goodies each month. Although I got this at the beginning of January, I didn't want to post anything too early incase it would spoil it for people who were still expecting theirs, so I've left it much later. Never having a beauty box before, I didn't know what to expect but was still excited nevertheless.


Upon arriving at my house, I opened up and saw this cute package, which included an Elle Magazine, the Look Fantastic magazine (which gives detail on what's inside the box and what it does) but most importantly, the beauty box itself, which I couldn't wait to delve into.


Reviewing the box contents, I only know of one brand, Pixi (I have the Glow Tonic) but the good thing about beauty boxes is that I can try different products and they might actually work really well. So without further ado, let's have a little look at the products in the Look Fantastic January box.


The first product that I was instantly drawn to was the Trifle Cosmetics Liquid Glow. The packaging alone is very pleasing to look at, all pink and covered in little ice creams. Love it! I've not heard of this brand before but I had a quick look on their site and their other products look really nice. It's vegan and 100% cruelty-free, which is something a lot of people will be happy to hear. This lightweight liquid luminizer will give skin a little rosy finish and priced at £15.96 on their website, this is a great product to start the year off with and I look forward to using it.


Next up, it's the Nuxe Lotion Tonique Douce, which is a toning lotion. I've seen the brand name dotted around Boots but never have actually looked into the brand and it's products. Infused with rose, it helps soothes and refreshes, suitable for sensitive and normal to dry skin. The only other toner I have is from Pixi but I'm going to start giving this a try, see how it compares. It's a perfect travel size, at 35ml but a 100ml bottle from their website is priced at £9. Another great product to the first box of the year.


Third product in, and it's this mascara from Jelly Pong Pong (what a name). Again, not a brand I've heard of before but you can't go wrong with having a mascara in the Beauty Box. It's called the Fairy Lashes Curl, which can be bought from their website at £17.95. The packaging is pretty usual for a mascara but love the colour scheme it's got going. I've not actually applied this to my lashes yet, but the bristles are a nice size and looks like it's going to add some serious curls. I've been using my current mascara for nearly a year now so it's good to have a new one in the collection and can't wait to try it.


Here is the Brow Tamer by Pixi. Pixi is the only brand where I actually own something else from them but aside from that, I've never actually used a brow gel. It's something I've never really looked at using so I'm quite keen to try and see what it does for my brows. This soothing formula, containing Aloe Vera and Panthenol, helps conditions your brows so that it'll leave them silky smooth. Priced at £12 from their site, this is another great addition to this months box.


Next up, something that looks really interesting, is the Don't Despair, deep condition mask from Briogeo. I haven't ever really used hair masks before, although it has crossed my mind of something I'd like to try and start doing, so why not start it off buy using this. Some key ingredients include Rosehip Oil, Algae Extract, B-Vitamins and Almond Oil, each with a benefit to get some luscious locks. I'm really keen to start trying this and going by the reviews on the site, (mainly all with 5 stars), it must be really good. For a 236ml tub, it retails at $36, which seems a little pricy but it's likely that the product goes a long way and is worth the money.


Last but not least, are these rose gold tweezers from The Vintage Cosmetic Company. I've not really heard of them but have seen them about on Twitter recently. I've been needed a new pair of tweezers for a while so it was perfect timing that they were in this box. I love the colour of these and comes in lovely floral packaging.


For my first ever subscription to a Beauty Box, I am honestly really happy with what I got. I can't wait to try out some new and exciting products in the near future. I'm really looking forward to the next 11 boxes I get.

Are you signed up to any Beauty Boxes? Which ones? Do you own any of these products and use them on a daily basis?
