Real Chemistry Luminous 3 Minute Peel, 20 ml - Estimated Value $19.20 (Buy 50 ml for $48.00)
I feel like I have gotten this product so many times across all of my boxes and I just don't love it. It is a peeling product in the most literal terms. You apply this clear gel to your face, wait a few minutes, then lightly rub in circular motions until little pills form. These are supposed to be dirt, skin, and impurities, but I always just feel like it is the product itself. I have never noticed a difference with this product.

Eylure Texture No. 117 Lashes - Retail Value $4.99
Ok, I am not generally a huge fan of falsies (mainly because I am really terrible at application...) but these are gorgeous. They are very natural looking and extremely wispy, looking more like eyelash extensions than true false lashes. I am absolutely going to stash these for a special occasion where I need a noticeable lash boost, but don't want to go full tilt.

Bumble & bumble Invisible Oil, 1 fl oz - Estimated Value $3.29 (Buy a full-size 8.5 fl oz for $28.00)
I think B&b was the first hair brand I actually spent what felt like a lot of money on back in college. I still really like their formulas, though I am more of an OUAI girl now. I don't often heat style or blowdry my hair, though I did just get a mini blowdryer for all of you that remember I melted my last one on my kitchen stove!! I decided to give this a go since I could actually blow dry my hair again. I spritzed it on my damp ends, combed through, and went to work drying my tresses. The result was hair that was certainly shinier and more polished looking. I like that in addition to those benefits, this is also a heat protecting formula, so I can blowdry my already dry hair with less damage and guilt.

Sleek I-Divine Eyeshadow Palette - Retail Value $12.99 (currently on sale for $8.29)
I am not a Sleek Cosmetics fan. The shadows are always a little lacking when it comes to pigmentation, though they do have a nice shimmer every so often. This palette is exactly that: lackluster mattes with a few pretty shimmers. You will want to apply any of these with a fingertip because the fallout with a brush isn't pretty.
Here are the swatches. Some have decent pigment, others just don't.

PRAI Platinum Firm & Lift Creme, 10 ml - Estimated Value $9.00 (Buy 50 ml for $45.00)
This was a new brand for me, and I thought the sample size was a little larger than I would have expected. It is a heavier cream that applies like velvet and feels really great! Meant to firm and lift, I applied it to my back and neck and waited. Truthfully, I don't have any issues with sagging just yet (fingers crossed!) but I can comment that this cream was certainly hydrating, and it did make my skin look smoother.

Eyeko Black Magic Liner, 0.3 ml - Estimated Value $16.50 (Buy a full-size 0.4 ml for $22.00)
Our final item is probably the one I have seen the most often across all of my boxes: Eyeko black eyeliner. It works just fine, leaving behind a deep black line from its brush tip. This liner has pretty good longevity too.
Here's the latest issue of Elle UK Magazine, which was included in this box:

The Verdict: Look Fantastic Beauty Box has a value of around $65.97 this month which is good for a $19 box. I just wish the contents were better. A huge value means less if there is nothing amazing inside. I really didn't like the eyeshadow palette. The performance is just lacking with that brand, at least in my experience. I was also disappointed to recieve yet another Eyeko liner. The Real Chemistry peel is another product I feel like I get once a month, and I don't find it effective. The bright spots this month were the eyelashes, the Bumble & bumble spray, and the PRAI cream. I don't think this month was for me at all, but here's to January!
