The Lookfantastic Beauty Edit
All my top recommendations to get you summer ready, with the all-important DISCOUNT CODE!
This post is sponsored by Lookfantastic…yippee! It means I can share a super little discount code with you (keep reading!), which you can add to their already fabulous Bank Holiday sale. Who doesn't love a bargain!
It’s a wet and miserable BH weekend here and I’m off to Liverpool at any moment, to stay with family for a few days, but that’s not stopped me dreaming of sunshine (I’m literally counting down the days to my trip to Porto) and prepping to get summer ready!
Firstly, let’s get the important bit done…EVERYTHING IN THIS LINK has up to 40% off AND if you add my discount code MELISSASLF at checkout you’ll get another 11% off. There are over 7,500 products in the offer, so my advice (unless you like a good browse), is to refine your search to brands or products. I’ve picked out a few recommendations below, but if in doubt add my discount code at checkout and very often it works on other stuff too* The offer is live now and Monday, so don’t hang around!
Just in case you are new to Lookfantastic, it is Europe’s number one online premium beauty retailer, carrying over 22,000 products. The site is vast, but well organised. It’s worth checking out the offers on some top brands such as Murad, Liz Earle, La Roche Posay and Estee Lauder, and it’s always my go to for the Black Friday beauty deals. So, here are some of my current faves:
One of my favourite brands! It’s all about retinol now I’m over 50 and this set, which is already great value, is a good place to start if you’re new to the brand. I can recommend the Retinol Night cream, but I also was really keen to try the eye masks. Worth checking out the other Murad offerings in the offer!
Aveeno Skin Renewal Smoother Skin Body Duo
Summer skin prepping begins with exfoliating all the winter layers and coating myself in a good moisturiser. I don’t think you need to spend lots of dosh on this, you just need a really good dry skin product and Aveeno is a trusted fave of mine
Kérastase Resistance Strengthening Duo for Fine/Medium Hair and Free Travel Size Heat Protector
There is a huge range of Kerastase haircare in the offer, but this one particularly suits my fine hair. The sizing is perfect for travelling and the free travel-size heat protector is useful for popping in my suitcase.
Living Proof Style Without Compromise Duo
I don’t think I could live without the Living Proof dry shampoo. I also love the dry volume spray, which I often use after gym days when I don’t want to wash my hair; it gives it some volume after a sweaty workout. The real hero though is the Triple Bond Complex. It’s a weekly mask that has worked wonders on my dry fine hair.
Aromatherapy Associates Pro Barrier Boost Face Oil
I love this brand. My idea of bliss is soaking in the bath with one of their bath oils - it is so therapeutic! So I decided to give my face a treat and try their face oils. The smell is lush and it's brimming with lots of good stuff to give your skin a glow.
Some other brands to look out for…
An iconic name in the beauty world, Liz Earle is the botanical skincare brand known for using active natural ingredients.I was recently sent the new Superskin Advanced Cleansing Balm, and it’s seriously lush. Your skin feels plumped and nourished and it smells gorgeous - definitely one to try
Another iconic brand with over 70 years in business. Do you know they sell 27 bottles of the Advanced Night Repair every minute? There is lots on offer, including skincare and make up, but my favourite is the Revitalizing Supreme+ Intensive Restorative range, which is so nourishing!
And finally, it's worth checking out…
If you're looking for a new scent or perhaps a gift for someone special, there are lots of top perfume brands for men and women in the offer. Boss, Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford to name a few.
I’ve already mentioned Living Proof, but they also have Colour WOW (including the Chris Appleton hair mask everyone is raving about), L’Oreal, Kerastase, and Grow Gorgeous, to name a few.
And as we have summer holidays in mind, I'm going to squeeze one last important recommendation in for lots of suncare brands. Sun Bum, Bondi Sands, La Roche-Posay, Riemann and Lancaster are just a small selection of what’s on offer!
Just a final reminder to use that code MELISSALF to get an extra 11% off everything in the offer here.
Enjoy the rest of your Bank Holiday weekend!
