This LOOKFANTASTIC pamper kit is worth over £200 – but it's just £62 for Independent readers
Spring has officially sprung, which means it's time to ditch the fake tan and get our bodies prepped for the months ahead. Think shorts, claw clips at the beach and make-up free days in the sun.
I may be getting ahead of myself (the fake tan doesn't need to go just yet), but there's no harm in being prepared, especially when that eagerness could save you more than £160. Thanks to a partnership between The Independent and LOOKFANTASTIC, you can get your hands on nine beauty products worth £226, all for just of £62 (Lookfantastic.com).
Complete with luxury brands including ESPA and Christophe Robin, the bundle spans haircare, bodycare, skincare and home scenting - it's your Thursday night everything shower in one bundle. So, whether you're on the self-care train or need a Mother's Day gift, scroll on for everything you need to know.
How I tested
With everything from shampoo and conditioner to an aromatherapy bath duo (oil and candle) included in this bundle, I settled into an afternoon of self-care and put all of the included formulas to the test. I performed a hair and face mask, moisturised my body and indulged in all of the treatments on offer. When judging these products, I assessed the hydration of my skin, the feel and appearance of my hair and the overall value versus cost of the items. Here's how I got on.
As IndyBest's beauty writer, I've tested all manner of hair, body and face products from brands both affordable and high-end. When it comes to beauty bundles, I authored The Independent 's guide to the best beauty subscription boxes and the best beauty gift sets. I'm well versed in the brands that are (and aren't) worth your attention. I've also covered years of Black Friday and Amazon Prime events, so I know when an offer is being falsely inflated. Read on for my honest verdict of LOOKFANTASTIC's pamper bundle.

Netflix's Adolescence is now second biggest English-language show on streaming platform
Netflix's Adolescence has hit a huge new milestone, surpassing Stranger Things, as the second most watched English-language TV series, but which show holds the top spot? Netflix's Adolescence has officially became the streamer's second most-watched English-language TV series, surpassing Stranger Things, which previously held the crime drama mini-series, co-created and starring Stephen Graham, arrived on the streaming platform on March 13 and recently reached a huge milestone of 141.2M total views, putting it above the fourth season of Stranger Things, which initially held the title at 140.7M views. It follows the dramatic aftermath of a 13-year-old boy Jamie, portrayed by Owen Cooper, who is arrested for murdering a classmate. Each episode is remarkably shot in one take. In first place is the debut season of the platform's Addams Family spin-off, Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega, which racked in a jaw dropping 252.1M total views within its first 91 days. In comparison, season one of the streamer's popular Korean psychological thriller Squid Game is Netflix's most watched non-English language TV series, bringing in a whopping 265.2M views in its first three months. Adolescence, which is likely to land several Emmy nominations next month, recently swept at the 2025 Gotham TV Awards. It was awarded the prize for Breakthrough Limited Series, as well as two acting awards for Graham and young newcomer Owen Cooper for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Limited Series and Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited Series, respectively. In his acceptance speech, Graham said: 'We're overwhelmed for you to embrace us the way you have. "This was a small colloquial piece that was made with love, respect, humility and dignity, and we treated the subject with a lot of passion, but a lot of care.' Speaking to The Independent in March about the struggles of shooting each episode in one go, director Philip Barantini admitted: 'It was quite difficult, but it was fun as well. It was meticulously planned. '[Tech rehearsals] would be an opportunity for the sound team to put the booms where they needed to be. "And, we had all the support and the runners and ADs all dressed in police uniforms in the first episode and teachers in the second episode so they could be on camera and cueing things. 'It was technically challenging, but a huge collaboration.' It comes after 15-year-old Owen from Cheshire in England recently appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and boldly revealed "one thing he hates about America". Host Jimmy had asked the teenager what he didn't like about America as Owen spent some time there promoting the Netflix drama which is now in talks for a second series. The young actor replied: "One thing I hate about America - the chocolate and the sweets, everything is just terrible. It's just Cheetos and all that nonsense. Honestly, I hate it." Whilst slating US confectionery, he even brought out some classic British snacks to prove his point that they are better. Owen lifted up a basket of snacks to reveal his favourite treats to Jimmy, which included the classic Maltesers. He asked the host: "Have you ever had a Malteser? Right - I'll bring the whole basket up. So this is what I brought [Monster Munch, Maltesers and Fruit Pastilles]"
