LookFantastic's £45 summer beauty box saves shoppers £105
LookFantastic has just launched its highly sought after summer beauty box after great success in previous years. Containing some glorious beautifying goodies, this year the box is packed with six products whose total worth adds up to over £150 – featuring big names like Sol de Janeiro, Caudalie, and Color Wow.
The best bit? One of the products inside is valued higher than what customers pay for the entire collection, which is jammy for those who need to top up their (relatively expensive) skincare collection.
As the name suggests, the LookFantastic Summer Heroes Edit is packed with summer must-haves and is priced at £45. With four full-sized items and two deluxe samples inside, the ESPA Optimal Skin Pro Serum (30ml) alone is valued at £55 - £10 more than the box itself.
The serum, which delivers a radiant glow, hydrates and revitalises the skin with potent natural ingredients and has garnered numerous five-star ratings and glistening reviews.
Packed with key components such as sunflower concentrate, which works to enhance the skin's appearance, texture, and elasticity, as well as balloon vine and black currant seed oil, the serum can help calm and restore dry skin and reinforce skin's hydration barrier with just a few drops each day, reports OK!.
Another byproduct of the serum is the 'healthy shine' it gives skin. The same shopper added: "Not only does my skin feel soft and moisturised afterwards but the smell is divine."
However, a word of caution was offered by another, who said: "It's important to note that it contains active ingredients so it should be gradually introduced into a skincare routine. I made this mistake and damaged my skin barrier."
Aside from the face serum, the Summer Heroes Edit also includes the fan-favourite Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream, a body moisturiser celebrated for its skin-firming properties - and delicious, holiday-esque scent. However, a shopper pointed out their slight letdown with the size by commenting: "The Sol de Janeiro was smaller than I expected."
Sun safety, something of great importance in summer time, is catered for too. The box contains products designed to protect skin from harmful rays whilst preventing the signs of skin ageing - something exposure to the sun often accelerates. Eucerin's Sun Face Pigment Control SPF 50 50m l is a non-oily, anti dark spot fluid that's lightweight and comes with a high sun protection factor.
Infused with thiamidol, a patented component targeting the root cause of hyperpigmentation, it helps lessen dark spots over time and deters their re-emergence with regular use.
With summer in our midst, Lookfantastic's box isn't the only beauty haul helping shoppers get their best summer essentials. The Boots Minis Bag Get Holiday Ready is perfect for stashing in any holiday luggage. This seven-piece collection features six miniature items and one full-size product covering both skincare and makeup essentials.
And it's a steal at £32, boasting an actual worth of £124.50. For admirers of Sol de Janeiro, there's an exclusive Sol Tote + Body Essentials available at SpaceNK for only £45.
What's inside LookFantastic's The Summer Heroes Edit:
ESPA Optimal Skin Pro Serum 30ml (Full-Size) - Worth £55
Eucerin Sun Face Pigment Control SPF 50 50ml (Full-Size) - Worth £24
Iconic London Instant Sunshine Bronzing Drops 13ml(Full-Size) - Worth £22

Shoppers call £30 Calvin Klein scent a 'vanilla lover's dream' that 'lasts all day'
'The scent is a lovely and subtle (not overpowering) balance of vanilla, and lasts a long time when I use it on my clothes and hair' Vanilla has long been one of the most timeless fragrance notes, loved for its warmth and sensuality that feels just as right for everyday wear as it does for a night out. One popular perfume is Calvin Klein's Nude Vanilla Body Mist, which shoppers are calling a 'dream for vanilla fans.' This fragrance, available for £30 via LookFantastic, Boots and Calvin Klein directly, is described as a 'sensual' mix of rich vanilla, musk accord and amber woods, giving it a warming vibe. The lightweight mist can also be spritzed onto hair, leaving locks smelling fresh and sexy throughout the day. Ideal for slipping into a handbag, it's perfect for top-ups on the go or for layering with other fragrances. Vanilla, in particular, pairs beautifully with spicy notes like cinnamon and floral accords such as jasmine and white musk - which you'll find as a base in bestselling perfumes like YSL Black Opium (£78, Boots) and Gucci's Flora Gorgeous Jasmine (£59.99, The Perfume Shop). 47 Skin's 'life-changing' skincare products for spot-prone teens are now 10% off Lisa Snowdon loves this hair serum that's 'must have for hair loss' now 20% off There are plenty more vanilla options to consider. One of my current favourites is Phlur's Vanilla Nectar (£25, Space NK), which opens with juicy papaya nectar and is grounded by smooth, creamy vanilla to soften the tropical notes and add warmth and maturity. Otherwise, Dior's Vanilla Diorama (£168) is expensive, but described as 'an exquisitely creamy vanilla mousseline, pricked with orange zests over a backdrop of bitter cocoa.' I also like Bon Parfumeur's 402, a sweet blend of vanilla, toffee, caramel, and sandalwood. Back to Calvin Klein's Nude Vanilla Body Mist, it has received plenty of great reviews via LookFantastic. One shopper said: "This is a vanilla lover's dream. I sprayed this on my hair and pulse points, and it lasted all day. The scent of vanilla and musk, which can be layered with other mists, is great. I even got compliments from strangers. "The spritzer is amazing, giving a mist, not too wide but just enough. The gorgeous packaging, lovely pink bottle complements the scent." Meanwhile, a second person remarked: "The scent is a lovely and subtle (not overpowering) balance of vanilla, and lasts a long time when I use it on my clothes and hair. Would defo recommend." It isn't all good news, though. A mixed review reads: "I'm not sure how to explain it otherwise, but as soon as I opened the lid, it smelt like I walked into a Victoria's Secret store, which isn't bad. It does have that smell of a cheaper fragrance (quite overpowering, a bit one-dimensional). "The bottle is large and a nice colour. I wouldn't reach for it daily, but maybe if I were in a rush and didn't want to waste a more expensive scent to go to the shops, I'd use it." But on a more positive note, this Calvin Klein fan said: "I enjoyed this product. It has a vanilla and musk scent. When it settles down, you can smell the musk. It lasts a while, but I like to pair it with a vanilla body cream to help make it last longer."

Jo Malone fans are raving about the brand's most iconic scents and they're £18 each
Jo Malone London enthusiasts are rushing to purchase the brand's most celebrated fragrances for £18 each through a collection available on LookFantastic. The Jo Malone London Tantalising and Seductive Travel Cologne Duo costs £36 and includes two perfumes. Lime, Basil and Mandarin stands as one of the label's most renowned fragrances, beginning with lime, mandarin orange and bergamot. It transitions from the citrus opening to a heart that features a distinctly herbal combination of basil, thyme, lilac and iris. The foundation proves much more understated with vetiver and patchouli. Pomegranate Noir lacks the citrus element but remains equally fruity, commencing with pomegranate, rhubarb, plum, raspberry and watermelon. The middle notes adopt a more aromatic direction featuring clove, pink peppercorn, guaiac wood, frankincense, opoponax (sweet balsamic warmth), rose, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. Meanwhile, the foundation of amber, musk, Virginia cedar and patchouli provides excellent grounding, reports the Manchester Evening News. Jo Malone isn't the only brand offering smaller sizes of their fragrances to customers, allowing them to truly experience the scents before committing to a large bottle. They also make excellent options for travelling as they barely take up space in carry-on luggage. Penhaligon's £50 Ladies Fragrance Collection has been hugely popular, although it doesn't feature spray bottles which some shoppers find off-putting. Tom Ford have 10ml bottles, with Café Rose costing £40 on LookFantastic. The Jo Malone collection has attracted glowing testimonials, achieving an average rating of 4.8 out of 5. Customers clearly believe these make excellent presents - though several admit wanting to retain them for personal use. One customer commented: "Never tried Jo Malone before really because it's so expensive so brought these two little bottles. I'm not disappointed and already had so many compliments." Not everyone is as pleased with the scents as personal fragrances, with some suggesting they'd make better room scents. It is available as a candle for £56. One customer commented: "First ever Jo Malone purchase and I wasn't massively impressed. I agree with other reviewers that the Pomegranate scent would be better suited in a candle." Another shopper remarked: "Really lovely duo to mix and match. Bought as a present for my mum and then was tempted to steal it back!"

Amazon shoppers swear by 'breath-taking' £20 scent that 'lasts a whole day'
'Every time I wear it, I feel confident, polished, and a little more myself. The bottle is gorgeous, too — a perfect reflection of the fragrance inside. A true gem in my collection' Amazon shoppers are flocking to buy a £21.99 perfume that they insist makes them feel confident. Khamrah by Lattafa is proving popular on shopping giant Amazon with it having over 25,000 ratings. Khamrah is quite spice forward, opening up with cinnamon and nutmeg which is brightened with bergamot. The heart is a warm blend of dates, praline, tuberose and mahonial. It rounds out with a warm base of vanilla, tonka bean, amberwood, myrrh, benzoin and akigalawood. This is a great option as autumn slowly approaches. For those who like the date note but want something sweeter then perhaps Lush's £28 Sticky Dates is worth checking out. Khamrah has been compared to Angel's Share by Kilian (£310) although while the packaging is similar there are not many overlapping notes. How to get Sol de Janeiro's new 'seductive' summer fragrance for under £9 Lorraine Kelly's makeup artist shares anti-ageing product from Boots for 'dewy' skin Khamrah has pulled in an average of 4.5 out of 5 from 25,343 global ratings. One shopper said: "The bottle is stunning—heavy, well-designed, and comes in premium packaging that feels high-end. Performance is excellent with long-lasting wear and strong projection. Perfect for evening wear or colder months, Khamrah is a standout choice for anyone who loves warm, sweet, and seductive scents without the designer price tag." Another insisted it boosted their mood, writing: "This perfume is simply breath-taking. The scent opens with a beautiful burst of freshness and gently melts into warm, sophisticated notes that linger all day. It strikes the perfect balance between subtle and noticeable — never too strong, but impossible to ignore. Every time I wear it, I feel confident, polished, and a little more myself. The bottle is gorgeous, too — a perfect reflection of the fragrance inside. A true gem in my collection!" The spices can be quite divisive, with one shopper saying: "I saw all the hype about Khamrah by Lattafa and decided to blind buy it. It's a really strong fragrance, but I didn't like it because the cinnamon was too much for me. If you love cinnamon, you'll probably enjoy it, but it's not my type. The first day I wore it, it was so strong that someone complimented me at night, even though I had sprayed it in the morning! The longevity is crazy. I ended up giving it to my friend, and she loves it." Another review commented on a booziness in Khamrah, that we often see noted in the more expensive Angel's Share people associate with the scent. They said: "The fragrance is sweet boozey and spicy and settles down after it dries down to a sweet and spicy fragrance. Absolutely love the longevity and projection. Easily lasts a whole day long on my skin. Great value for money."
