You won't have seen a Look Fantastic beauty box on my blog before. After canceling my Glossybox I wanted to try out a different beauty box, one without a subscription. I first heard about the Look Fantastic box on instagram after browsing through #bbloggers. I instantly appealed to me after I noticed it contained my all time favorite moisturizer. After a quick search I was soon typing in my bank details to order my first Look Fantastic box.
So here is what I received in my January Look Fantastic Beauty Box...
1. &2. Michael Van Clarke 3 More Inches - I always love trying out new hair care products and I was thrilled when I opened the box to discover these beauty's. The shampoo and conditioner set are meant to rebuild hair helping it grow and leaving it looking stronger. I've never heard of this brand before but I'm really excited to give these a go and I will definitely post the results here!
3. Molton Brown Templetree Body Wash - Molton Brown is a name associated with luxury bath products so I was happy to receive my very own mini body wash. I don't often use expensive shower gels, I mostly grab the cheapest, perfume free gel I can find. Although I'm worried it might upset my eczema I'm still really looking forward to trying out this gorgeous smelling body wash.
4. Philip Kingsley Daily Damage Defense - I've used Philip Kingsley products before and I was quite impressed. As I have very dry hair and I regularly straighten it, I always need to use a heat defense product. I've swore by the TRESemme heat protection spray for years and it will be nice to try something new to see how it compares.
5. Nuxe Masque Creme Fraiche - This is one of the best moisturizers I've ever used. It smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling really soft, so when I saw it was in this months box I had to buy it. The creme on its own retails at around £18 for 50ml and this box is only £15 so I got a huge bargain! If you ever get a chance I highly recommend you give this a go as its just so amazing.
So that was my January Look Fantastic Box. I'm going to be giving beauty boxes a miss for a while as I'm trying for save for a holiday and these really aren't a necessity. When I get chance I will definitely be trying out another Look Fantastic Box so keep a lookout!
What did you think of the products in this months Look Fantastic box? Have you tried any of these products out before?

Another month, another Glossybox subscription. This is the January box and the last one I will be writing about as I've decided to cancel my subscription. Over the last few months I have received some wonderful products but I as money's been quite tight it was time to cancel. I've written a little piece on beauty box subscriptions and if they are worth it, you can read that here.
So this is what I received in my January Glossybox...
1. Kueshi Cosmetics Revitalizing Face Toner - So I've used this a few times now and I can't even begin to explain how much I love it. It smells amazing and makes your skin feel so soft. I'd never heard of this brand before but I would love to try out other products from their range.
2. Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow - Another highlighter. I don't know how many the people at Glossybox think I need but this is the third. I don't use highlighters very often and I probably won't use this one. Although it does look like a good quality product it will more than likely end up on eBay.
3. Me Me Me Eye Liner Pencil in Clay - I've used a couple of products from Me Me Me before and I've always been impressed. I'm looking forward to trying out this eye liner as it's not a colour I would usually pick and it will be nice to use something different.
4. Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm Superfruits - I love lip balm, I wear it every day and I am always welcoming new ones into my collection. I've never heard of Naked Lips before but I'm excited to try this out as my lips have been super dry lately. This lip balm is made from all natural ingredients which is always a bonus with beauty products.
5. Nicka K New York Colorluxe Powder Blush - I never really use blush, I have quite naturally red cheeks and I've never needed it. I'm starting to get more confident with using blushers and bronzers lately but I really don't think this product is for me. This blush comes in a cute little pot with a mirror on the top and I'm sure my sister will get plenty of use out of it, I'll let you know what she thinks!
So that was my January Glossybox. This is the last Glossybox I will be writing about but don't worry I have lots of product reviews lined up for the next few weeks!
I've love to know what you guys thought of think months box, let me know on the comments or over on twitter!
Thanks for reading!

You'd be lying if you said beauty boxes haven't taken the blogging world by storm. These little boxes have been showing up everywhere and with their popularity only growing, more of us beauty lovers are wondering if they are really worth it.
I've had a GlossyBox Subscription for just under a year and I have received many amazing products, some that I'd never even heard of before. I decided to sign up to a beauty box subscription as I wanted to try out new products and I have discovered so many things that I wouldn't have tried or would have completely dismissed in the first place as they were out of my price range.
Although it it great to be sent new beauty products each month, it can get a little bit pricey. A Glossy Box is £10 plus £3 postage which is amazing considering the selection of products you receive but what if you won't use them? There's no denying you get a lot for your money but it is very easy to end up with boxes of products you will never use.
For people who know exactly what products they want, a subscription box would be a waste of money as you're never guaranteed a certain type of product. I often find myself with products I'll never use so I always giveaway the unopened products to my sister or to friends, I feel less wasteful that way. But surely the point of buying yourself a subscription box is so you try out new products yourself, not to dish them out to everyone else.
The biggest negative I have found is that as you never know what you will receive you can end up with a lot of the same products. I recently cancelled my Glossybox for several reasons, the main one being that I had been subscribed for so long that I was starting to receive extremely similar products. Over the year I had been given 3 highlighters, which is great for someone who regularly use them but I'm still getting through the first one.
The aim of this piece isn't to bad mouth beauty boxes, after all they are a good idea and a nice surprise every month. I had come to the point where I was bored with them and I didn't feel like I was getting a bargain anymore. For people who want to grow their beauty product collection they are great but for me they just aren't worth it
What do you think about beauty boxes? Do you love them or do you think they are a waste of money? Let me know in the comments below, or over on twitter!

So I finally got around to taking some outfit photos! I've been meaning to do an outfit post for ages now, I haven't done one since April and they are one of my favorite things to do on my blog. Whenever I have time to shoot some fun outfits it either poors it down or I just don't have the energy, typical really! But I do love playing dress up and putting cute outfits together so I've hoping to feature this kind of content a lot more on the blog!
This is just a casual outfit I would wear out to dinner or on a date night with Sean. I actually wore this outfit a few nights ago to go to the academy in Birmingham. I nipped into town to catch Box Of Light play and thought this was the perfect gig outfit.
I've gotten really into kimonos lately, I think they are just so easy to wear and jazz up a boring outfit. I don't know where this sudden obsession with kimonos has come from but I'm kind of loving it and I'm slowly filling up my tiny wardrobe with all kinds of beautiful kimonos. I'm not looking to stop buying them anytime soon either!
Pink Velvet Kimono Asos £14 | Acid Wash Jeans Asos £28 | Black Scalloped Top Topshop £16 | heeled Boots Clothes Show £25 | Fake Chain Necklace Miss Selfridge £5
Although I am loving this pink kimono, the boots are probably my favorite thing out this whole outfit. I bought the boots at the clothes show last year and I've been wearing them pretty much none stop. I love the heal which isn't too high but still gives me a lift and the gold chain around the back of the boots is a fantastic details I've not seen on any other boots before. I've sure I'll wear these bad boys until the death!
I've love to hear your thoughts on this outfit and if you'd like to see more outfit inspiration on my blog!
Thanks for reading!
