LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2019 Review

It’s pretty obvious to anyone who reads my blog that I am quite obsessed with Beauty Advent Calendars and this year there are some amazing ones that you can still get your hands on - yes some of them have sold out!

The latest Advent to have me swooning is the Look Fantastic 2019 Advent Calendar which is not only beautiful to look at but is great value for money too. Inside the calendar, the value of the products is £420 with a price tag of £79 which is a massive saving of over £341! Better still, I love that this calendar doesn’t have odd products in it - think pencil sharpeners, nail files and sachets, instead it is 25 days of beauty.

This calendar comes housed in a very sturdy cardboard setting which is detailed with beautiful midnight blue and gold colourings. It opens to reveal all the drawers for 2019 and once you have opened everything up, it could very easily be re-used to either store your beauty products or even gift to a loved one the following year as an advent calendar you have created!

Lookfantastic has a huge range of products on their website and if you want to branch out and try new brands, then an advent calendar is a good place to start! If you don’t want to know what is hiding behind the doors of this advent then stop reading now but before you stop, you can grab this calendar right here, but be quick before it sells out!

Even though I am revealing the contents, I’ve decided not to share them day by day to totally ruin the surprise. Instead, they appear in no particular order but will all be found inside:

Grazia Beauty Advent Calendar

Grazia has teamed up with Latest In Beauty to release their first-ever Beauty Advent Calendar and it has been one to certainly wait for.  It is most definitely one you can't miss. Opting for a clean look and feel with the iconic Grazia yellow, the tree inspired design lets the brands and products do the talking. 

I have decided not to spoil the fun of what is inside every single door, but below is a list of all the products you will find inside this calendar, but not which days hold which product.  I am really impressed with what you will find inside the calendar and is priced at just £85 for contents worth over £320 it is a huge saving to be had!

CONTENTS

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Ashton - Described as being a Metallic Dusty Mauve, these liquid lipsticks are said to be a full pigment liquid formula that dries to a weightless matte finish for smudge-proof wearability and long-lasting colour.

Lixirskin Electrogel Cleanser - Described as being a cleanser with a clever twist, this rich, creamy formula removes makeup and detoxes your skin, removing the harmful toxins that penetrate even the most scrupulous skin regimes.

Omorovicza Illuminating Moisturiser - I am a huge fan of Omorovicza as a brand and this is a moisturiser that is perfect for those people who don't like heavy creams. Light in texture, non-greasy and it literally sinks into the skin almost instantly.

Clean Reserve Sueded Oud Eau De Parfum - I have featured Clean Reserve on my blog a few times now and this is one EDP I have been wanting to try. Described as being a woody, floral musk fragrance it has notes of Temple Oud and Jasmine, both of which I adore. 

Spectrum C03 Brush in Malachite - The Spectrum x Disney Little Mermaid Collection has been my favourite collaboration of brushes to date, they are just stunning.  The Malachite C03 is almost an iconic member of the Spectrum range of brushes and it has been designed for precision application of powder or cream formulas and its tapered tip makes it perfect for contouring.

Malin & Goetz Advanced Renewal Cream - This cream has been formulated to improve skin elasticity while minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to smooth, firm and hydrate skin.

Diego Dalla Parma Geisha Lift Concealer - Another brand I have loved everything from that I have tried to date, especially this Nuda Eyeshadow Palette.  Within this calendar the Geisha Lift Concealer is described as being lifting, smoothing and illuminating and in doing so, it gives the skin a perfectly flawless, relaxed and tonic look.

Aurelia Cell Repair Night Oil - Another brand I am really liking getting to know and this Cell Repair Night Oil is one of the most amazing scented night oils I have used in such a long time and it is described as being an overnight boosting treatment for the skin.  I have used two bottles of it in recent years and cannot get enough of its scent.

NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien - This is a beautiful Rose Pink shade and the description from NARS is that this is a lip pencil which has a modern, long-wearing formula in a jumbo pencil format provides great wear and intense, vibrant colour with a satin finish

OPI Nail Lacquer (shades vary) - You can never have too many OPI nail polishes and one of my all time faovurite shades is Lincoln Park After Dark which is the perfect shade for Autumn and winter.  So I am excited to see which shades appear in these calendars.

Sukin Rejuvenating Day Cream - This day cream is described as being infused with White Hibiscus and Baobab to naturally plump, firm and hydrate skin, Pure Ribose works to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles (total area) by 78%, and Cocoa Butter, Goji Berry and Vitamin E soften and soothe dry skin, leaving skin smoother and more elastic after just 14 days.

System Professional LuxeOil Reconstructive Elixir - A weightless, multi-purpose formula developed for all hair types. Ideal as a leave-in treatment, a conditioning elixir, a cutting support and a finishing product to eliminate frizz and defend against heat damage, UV rays and mechanical stress.

Darphin Vetivier Oil Mask - This is a product I cannot wait to try, it really intrigues me from the name.  Said to help reduce the visible impact of the environment, daily pressures and lack of sleep with our stress relief detox oil mask infused with golden flower petals and stress-relieving Vetiver.

Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil - Said to be the first of Dermalogica's double cleanse offerings, it uses the oils of Olive, Apricot and Kukui Nut to cut through make-up, sunscreens and oil-based debris, readying them for easy removal.

Philip Kinglsey PK Prep Perfecting Spray - Described as being a multi-tasking product, this heat protection spray which was created to deliver natural hold and shine with volume and fullness. 

This Works Sleep Together Calming Spray - I am a huge fan of This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray but this one is said to be a soothing wind-down spray to diffuse the house with calm and pave the way for sleep by using a blend of Lavender, Vetivert and Camomile.

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - I absolutely love this product and have a blog post coming soon.  Described as being ideal for those with blemish-prone, oily or combination types, this non-abrasive formula is laced with BHA salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells both on the skin’s surface and within the pore.

Weleda Skin Food - Quite the iconic product from Weleda and one that is described as being a deep-penetrating nourishing treatment for the whole body that reams of A-listers swear by. It is suitable for use on the whole body which includes tired-out feet, hands and elbows.

NIP & FAB Glycolic Fix Exfoliating Mask - This mask is described as being dosed in glycolic acid which gently polishes the surface of the skin to help remove dead skin cells for a brighter and lit from within complexion.

St Tropez Self Tan Purity Mist - Described as being a lightweight facial tan that gives a gorgeous golden colour. The bronzing water uses 100% naturally derived tanning actives such as Green Mandarin and Hibiscus Flower Extract which together also work to nourish the skin and protect it from the damaging effects of pollution and environmental aggressors.

Dr Paw Paw Original Balm - This is a great little multipurpose balm for always having in your handbag, your makeup bag, the bedside table or even on your desk, it has a multitude of uses which means it can be used on your lips, hair and skin.

Aromatherapy Associates Forest Therapy Bath and Shower Oil - Said to have been inspired by ‘shinrin-yoku’ (the Japanese art of ‘forest bathing’ or spending time in nature amongst the trees to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul), the scented oil is evocative of a soothing stroll beneath the canopies of tall, majestic trees.

bareMinerals Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion - A serum that is described as being designed to revive and help maintain your skin’s most vibrant look of health, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Code 8 Precision Liquid Eyeliner Carbon Black - Described as being a water-resistant pure ink eyeliner, that glides onto the lash line with the softest and smoothest consistent colour flow. Its ultra-fine high-definition brush-tipped eye-marker allows for precision tracing and custom eye creations in high purity carbon black ink for the deepest colour intensity.

I am really excited to give quite a few of these products a try, especially the Forest Therapy Bath and Shower Oil from Aromatherapy Associates and the Electrogel Cleanser from LixirSkin.
