Is the LookFantastic Mother's Day Beauty Edit worth it?
Rachael Martin, beauty editor:
There's only two beauty boxes I subscribe to. The Grazia Beauty Club box and the LookFantasic Monthly Beauty box - neither disappoint. My ears always perk up when I hear LookFantastic have a limited edition offering on the go. As predicted, the Mother's Day Beauty edit is a total treasure trove that is bound to please. The collection of premium brands are instantly recognisable from Aveda and Bobbi Brown, through to Clinique and bareMinerals - the line-up is gold-standard. And a reminder of the value for money. For just £50 you'll get £215 worth of products, one of which is worth a whopping £64 on its own. It's always a joy to receive some exciting post, too! You simply can't go wrong.'
