LookFantastic Beauty Egg Collection Easter 2018 Contents, Spoilers + DISCOUNT CODE

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, March 15, 2018

Remember the amazing Beauty Egg Collection from LookFantastic for Easter 2017? I had unboxed it here.
Their 2018 collection is here, and the eggs look fabulous. There are seven beauty products, just like last time, and there's a total worth of more than £200. Like last time, it contains mostly skincare and haircare products.
What is the LookFantastic Beauty Egg Collection? It is an assortment of beauty products that LookFantastic has been releasing for Easter for two years now, packaged in individual eggs, all collected in a beautiful repurposable box.
Like last time, it comes in the same gorgeous hatbox packaging, with a similar colour scheme. This one is HUGE, people - make sure you have enough storage space before you buy.
This one is priced at £65. I have a code for you further below, towards the end of this page, which will bring down the costs even more.

Best Beauty Advent Calendars For 2017: Holiday Gift Guide

Best Beauty Advent Calendars For 2017: Holiday Gift Guide

Selfridges Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, October 06, 2017

This year, there are so many new names jumping on the Beauty Advent Calendar bandwagon, right from luxury store Harrods, to drugstore favourite Soap & Glory. Which hopefully means that the brands which previously had Beauty Advent Calendars would have to up the ante and make their calendars better than ever before, right?
LookFantastic has certainly done that this year, as also FeelUnique and ASOS. This ensures that you are coming back for next year's box!
Given that there are now more than 50 different Beauty Advent Calendars out there, I was hard-pressed to narrow it down to 15. So this - calendars which have improved with each year - became a criterion, and I've also included some of the new names, based on the contents.

Happy New Year! I hope you and your loved ones have had a great Holiday season, wherever you are around the world. I also wish each of you a very fruitful and prosperous 2017!
2016 was one of the three worst years of my life. I spent the first few months hiding at my parents' place, not even stepping out to sign for packages, with my face ravaged by a terrible breakout. Things began looking up from the mid-year, and I am due to start subcision for the scars from January 18.
For 2017, my goals are as follows:

Last Minute Gift Ideas: Beauty Box Subscriptions That Ship Worldwide

Last Minute Gift Ideas: Beauty Box Subscriptions That Ship Worldwide

Korean Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, December 15, 2016

It's almost Christmas, and you couldn't buy a gift? Beauty boxes are the answer.  
Why beauty boxes, and why ones that ship worldwide?
If you are looking for an unforgettable and special gift for a beauty lover, or a lasting treat for yourself, look no further than a beauty box subscription. It is a gift that keeps on giving; the recipient will remember - and thank - you each month as they get a lovely surprise box. Prolonged pampering. 
One opinion I get in my inbox regularly is that very few beauty boxes are available outside of the USA. Not true! Many countries have their own (my own has at least four of them that I know of), and there are even more beauty boxes that ship worldwide. So you get half a dozen or so beauty products from another country, from brands you have not tried before, and come to understand beauty trends and the industry, and the market, in those regions - what is not to love about that?

Holiday 2016: Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar Contents - Ships Worldwide

Selfridges Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, November 15, 2016

Selfridges makes one of the best beauty advent calendars each year. No, not their regular luxury calendar, which has only L'Oreal-owned brands such as Lancome, YSL, Viktor & Rolf, Urban Decay, and Kiehl's. This is their less expensive "Beauty Workshop" Advent Calendar, with a mixture of brands and sizes. This year, they've dropped the word "workshop" and rebranded it as the Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar - and the 2016 luxury calendar is known as "Eclectic Little Luxuries".
You get 24 products inside, with a total worth of £230, while the calendar costs £65. As usual, this beauty ships worldwide and makes for a gorgeous treat for all us deserving ladies. Read on for the contents. Hint: plenty of makeup; several full-sizes.

Holiday 2016: HQHair Beauty Bauble Contains 5 Makeup Products

Primer Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, November 08, 2016

Worth £89, but priced at £25, containing four full-sized makeup products and one mini, the HQHair Beauty Bauble for Holiday 2016 makes the perfect stocking filler - or you can even hang it on the Christmas tree. It is one of the most fabulous, value-for-money Christmas gift sets I've seen this year.
For those wondering what "HQhair" is, they are a beauty retailer - they ship worldwide and sell makeup, skincare and more; not just hair care.
Their exclusive, limited edition bauble launched on 7 November 2016, nicely in time for Crimbo, and is available on pre-order - it will ship out on 11 November. It contains solid, well-coveted brands such as Illamasqua, OCC, and Nudestix.
The HQhair bauble is themed "Party in the Nude", and contains a universal bronze eyeshadow, a neutral lip and cheek pencil, a highlighter, a mascara, and a primer to bring it all together - everything you need to rock the Holiday season.
There is a strict limit of 1,000 of these, so you want to hurry before they are all gone. More below.

LookFantastic Advent Calendar 2016 Beauty Secret Vol 2 Review, Contents, Unboxing; Comparison vs 2015

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, November 07, 2016

Stealth is not needed for this prey - you swoop right in, tearing, clawing and ripping with both hands. So much so that you barely remember to click some hurried photographs right where you are. The LookFantastic Advent Calendar has turned me into a mad predator for the second year running.
Measuring a massive 1'5''x12''x 6'', the Holiday 2016 LookFantastic Advent Calendar, titled Beauty Secret Vol. 2, is a heavy white and rose-gold box packed with 26, not 25, beauty products. 
The 2015 LookFantastic Advent Calendar, reviewed here, measured 14''x11''x6'' in contrast. It was a white and yellow-gold box.
Because of last year's success, the 2016 LookFantastic Advent Calendar sold out on pre-order a full 24 hours BEFORE its scheduled launch date. I had posted spoilers here.
No way can I wait until advent. The box arrived; it was unboxed within minutes, as I hinted.

The 2017 LookFantastic Advent Calendar is available on pre-order here; I've just ordered mine.

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, November 03, 2016

When I was growing up, my Dad and Gramps, both of whom worked in shipping, used to bring home chocolate Advent Calendars, with enough sweets to last until March. As an adult, I am addicted to Beauty Advent Calendars. See the best selections from last year here.
Beauty Advent Calendars seem to be more of a UK-centric thing, though brands in the US and elsewhere are fast catching on. So much so that the LookFantastic Beauty Secret Vol 2 Advent Calendar for 2016 has sold out while on pre-order - a good 24 hours before the release date. See the spoilers here. The 2017 Advent Calendar is available here.
With 12-25 beauty products that you can open each day of the Advent (or for the 12 Days of Christmas), what is not to love? Think of it as a best-of-the-year surprise beauty box. I've been showing you individual calendars over the last couple of weeks; here is the round up of the best ones currently available - they all ship worldwide.

Holiday 2016: NYX Cosmetics Wanderlust Advent Calendar Ships Worldwide

NYX Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, October 21, 2016

The vast majority of beauty advent calendars - as also beauty boxes - are skincare-heavy, with few being devoted to makeup alone, though there are mixed ones with skincare and makeup, such as LookFantastic's Advent Calendar.
No such concerns about the NYX Cosmetics Wanderlust Advent Calendar. It contains 24 makeup products. One for each day in December, up till Christmas eve.
If the name of the NYX Advent Calendar did not give you a hint of the travel theme - and the contents - perhaps the suitcase-like packaging did?

Holiday 2016: Paul & Joe Makeup Collection Advent Calendar Contents

Reviews Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, October 12, 2016

You're probably sick of all the Advent Calendars. We aren't even halfway through the lot - and the best is yet to come!
Makeup lovers, rejoice. The Paul & Joe Makeup Collection Advent Calendar for Holiday 2016 contains 12 different makeup products. No skincare, hair care or any of those.
Paul & Joe is known for very cutesy packaging, and you actually get a couple of their famous cases in here. There are 24 "windows" in this Advent Calendar, but only half of them contain products - the rest only reveal a pretty picture.
The calendar costs £56, which is inclusive of international shipping. Not bad at all, given that you get 12 full-sized cutesy makeup products.

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, October 11, 2016

I had shown you the Charlotte Tilbury Book Of Magic Beauty Advent Calendar for Holiday 2015 here.
Charlotte Tilbury has an Advent Calendar out this year as well. And, it is called "World Of Legendary Parties". It contains 12 Charlotte Tilbury products, of which half are makeup and five are skincare, with one makeup remover, and costs £150. I suppose you can open one product on every other day from December 1, or one each day from December 12. Or you can keep it for Twelvetide (after Christmas).
The good news is, like last year, the Charlotte Tilbury World Of Legendary Parties Beauty Advent Calendar ships worldwide.
