Look Fantastic Beauty Chest 2020 Review

Advent calendars seem to be everywhere even earlier than usual this year and I’ve been on the lookout for one to treat myself. There’s plenty to choose from but I haven’t been wowed by any I’ve seen. So when I heard about the Look Fantastic Beauty Chest featuring 11 full size highend products at a price to rival the most popular beauty advent calendars on the market, I quickly weighed up the value and decided to treat myself.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 (RRP £55)

I didn’t need another face cream but I’ve wanted to try this Elemis day cream for ages and this is one of the biggest reasons I picked the beauty chest up.

Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palette 5- 02 (RRP £41)

This is one of the original ND mini palettes where you get more product, which is why the price tag is so high. It’s not something I would have bought myself at this price point but it is a pretty neutrals palette and the packaging feels really good quality.

Kevin Aucoin The Neo-Blush (RRP £31)

This is such a pretty gradient style blush. It’s quite shimmery so would be more of a blush topper for me but it’s gorgeous and something else I would never have picked out for myself so glad to try.

Eve Lom Rescue Mask (RRP £55)

I love a good clay mask so I was really happy to find this in the beauty chest. The packaging feels super luxurious and I think I’m going to really enjoy using this.

NEOM Organics Luxury Standard Scented Candle (RRP £35)

I’m not a massive candle lover but I’m sure loads of people will love to find this in the box. I’ve never owned a Neom candle before and this one smells like lavender which is super relaxing and great for a pamper night.

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray (RRP £25)

Funny story about this product. I already own it and I never thought it was as incredible as everyone said it was until I gave it another go when I was still deciding about this beauty box. You basically apply it before blow drying and it smooths your hair texture, meaning I can blow dry my hair straight if I want rather than using curling products. I like it a whole lot more now and I’m glad to have another.

PAI Skincare Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil (RRP £24)

I’m always wary of using oils on my skin but this is meant to deeply condition skin and restore balance to complexions for a more even and brighter appearance which sounds like something I need so I’m happy to give this a try.

Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Cell Repair Night Oil (RRP £38)

Another skincare oil and again not something I was hugely excited about but the bottle looks really pretty and this is meant to protect skin from environmental strains as well as brightening so I’ll definitely give this a go.

ESPA Optimal Skin ProCleanser (RRP £32)

I’ve never used anything from ESPA before but cleansers are always useful and this is a multi-use enzyme product, meaning it can also be used as a mild exfoliant and mask. Like everything in this beauty chest, this feels really high quality and the packaging is stunning.

Iconic London Plumping Lip Gloss in Nearly Nude (RRP £19)

I’ve heard good things about these lip glosses but I’ve never been intrigued enough to pick one up for myself. Despite not being the most excited about this, I already love it. The shade is a perfect nearly nude, it’s not too sticky and I love the feel of the plumping effect. I can see myself using this a lot.

Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream (RRP £23)

I love Origins but I don’t tend to go for brightening eye creams because I feel like I need something to hydrate and tighten fine lines. I already have a mini of this product so I decided to give that a go first and have to agree that it’s super refreshing and brightening on my under eyes. I think I’ll love using this on a morning for that brightened, awake look.

I love this beauty chest! It’s pricey at £100 (or £85 if you subscribe to their beauty box) but you get a great selection of full size highend products and it really feels like a touch of luxury. If you’re like me and struggling to find an advent calendar that’s worth the money, I recommend going for something like this instead.
