LookFantastic Launches New Season Edit Beauty Box
LookFantastic has introduced a new beauty box, the New Season Edit, designed for the autumn season. Priced at €50, the collection is described as 'worth trying this autumn' by the Irish Mirror and RSVP Live. The box contains eight beauty essentials, five of which are full-sized products. According to calculations reported by both outlets, the combined value of the items exceeds €120, representing a saving of €70 compared to the purchase price.
The box features brands such as Anua, Made by Mitchell, and Hair by Sam McKnight. The full product list includes Weleda Skin Food (100ml), KIKO Milano Lip Volume Plumping Lip Cream in Bloomberry 5ml), Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Capsule Mist (30ml), The Inkey List Oat Balm Cleanser (50ml), Made by Mitchell Blursh Lights Liquid Highlighter in Drip Drip, Sam McKnight Deeper Love 5-Minute Intensive Treatment Mask (50ml), Umberto Giannini Grow Scalp Scrub (250g), and Dr. Jart+ Hydro Firming Mask with Hydrolysed Collagen (25g).
Highlights from the Edit
One of the standout products in the collection is the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Capsule Mist, which typically retails at £14 when purchased individually. The mist is enriched with 2,000 ppm of PDRN, a derivative of salmon DNA that is said to promote visible firmness and luminosity. It has received a 7 rating from 39 customer reviews. One shopper commented, "It keeps your skin feeling hydrated throughout the day and give you a lovely glow."
Another notable item is the Umberto Giannini Grow Scalp Scrub, originally priced at 44. The scrub is formulated to remove product build-up and dead skin cells, leaving hair shinier and healthier-looking. With over 220 customer reviews, it holds an average score of 7. One reviewer wrote, "My hair has been so much healthier and I'm sure it's growing since I've been using this. How squeaky clean it feels after use is a bonus too." However, one buyer noted that 'the smell isn't great'.
