My very first beautybox: #LFbeautybox

(photos coming soon)

I am always in love having butter biscuits with hot green tea (it makes me feel so English-like) while I'm writing, but today I am particularly in love, because a couple of months ago I discovered LookFantastic.com, and feel for this site.
So, because of I've ever wanted to join the beautybox madness, but have never been really sure (are the products going to be worth it? And how many of them are going to be inside? And what kind? For what value? I'm not sure I like this mistery, as the control-freak person I am), and because I've read aaall of the countless amazing reviews about the february box, I decided to go for the march #LFbeautybox .
The baddest point I have to say is that the shipping time is always a little bit more than the announced international one - more or less three to five days more, but for free worldwide shipping and no extra taxes at the Italian costumer house, I can definitely handle it. No one ever died because of a couple of days, right?
(To Italian readers: ho sempre dovuto fare i conti, in tutti i sensi, con la costosa dogana, che a ogni ordine di cosmetica ferma il pacco e chiede la dichiarazione dei prodotti ed il pagamento del 30% di tasse. Non so esattamente che tipo di spedizione usino e mi fa strano che possano non passarla o pagare loro le tasse, eppure nessun ordine da questo sito mi è mai stato bloccato con conseguenti lettere, pagamenti e le consuete almenoduesettimane di ritardo. Con mia grandissima felicità.)
This little elegant black and white box came to my door with an other gold product, the Phyto "Secrèt du Nuit" hair elixir. I will review this one also soon.
At first sight I couldn't find all the products among the black soft holding-paper, but even if I did spoiler myself the products before on blogs who already received it, it was immediatly love.
The box was only £15, while the actual prize of everything is over £70, and the brand were names like Caudalìe, Lord&Berry, NUDEstix, Bliss, Wet Brush and Cowshed. Pretty much half of the brand i wanted to try in my last order but which I skipped for not enough money at one time. Do I need to add something more?
Here's what I found inside:

Lil' Wet Brush handbag size brush (worth £7.99)
The first product I found inside made me soo happy. Because I have a lot of thin and damaged hair, and I love to wear scarves and necklaces, you can easily tell why my desperate head was about to buy a good little brush to carry with me all day long. Yes, I should have bought it long time ago, but that way I wouldn't be so happy finding in the beautybox today. Among various colours, I recieved a pretty light violet brush, which is also one of my favorite shades. One of the best I've ever tried, untangle and leaves soft hair without stressing it. But you can easily find about it on the web, so I won't bother you.

Cowshed lippy cow natural lip balm (0.18oz/5ml, worth £5)
This one is the first product from a brand I was about to try. Leaves lips "soft and supple", and has no paraben, sulphate, mineral oil and oetrolatum. Filled with certified organic ingredients, pure essential oils and botanical actives too, it's the kind of stuff I was looking for my natural-but-quality shift. Also, it's suitable for vegetarians. And plus, I adore the oranges scent (from the natural oil, and no added parfum).

NUDESTIX magnetic eye color eyeshadow stick in the shade "Gilt" (full size, 0.10oz/2.8gr, worth £24)
The NUDESTIX eyeshadow pencil almost made me scream of surprise when I discovered it was inside this beautybox. Like, seriously? A full-size of the top product of the new brand, head of the trend right now, just after LookFantastic began to sell it? If it's not pure joy for a make-up addicted, then I don't know what it is. I got an (obsessed, in truth) eye on the brand from their beginning, 'cause as much I like to go for strange and bold colours as much I'm a believer for the nude everyday look. But honestly, I was a little bit scared by the price, and I didin't know if I'd spend £24 on an eyepencil…well, this product alone costs more than the price of the entire beautybox, and it's completely worth it. Waterproof, perfect to built or as base, perfect alone for a speed make up, perfect for everything. I also think I'm going to try this as a bronzer or a highlighter when I'm getting tanned on spring and summer. I am surely about to buy some of their sculpting pencils, and don't know what else to say more than #gonenudebutbetter #nudeisthenewblack

Lord&Berry kajal and eye pencil in "black" (travel size, 0.02oz/0.7gr, worth £4.50)
And yes, Lord&Berry is an other brand I had in my mind-list ot "to buy before or later, as soon as possible". Please, don't tell me I'm the only one who has it.
A black eyeliner is always the answer if you don't know what to carry with you or what make-up to wear today, and this one is soft with a nice pigmentation and quite long-lasting. A perfect pair whit the NUDESTIX eyecolor for a running-late morning makeup.

Caudalìe polyphenol [c15] antri-wrinkle defense serum (sample size, 0,33oz/10ml, worth £11,66)
Caudalìe is one of the brand you can't go wrong with. And was, obviously, the last one I wanted to try so badly. Even if you don't have wrinkles -but in a couple of year I will have to start preventing them, and it's never too early to do that- this one works preserving the skin, protecting against enviromental factors as said in the LookFantastic description, and of course preventing and fighting wrinkles. Moreover, a good serum is one of the things in skincare you should really invest into.

Bliss's fatgirlslim body firming cream (2oz/60ml, worth £10.41)
Even if I'm completely disappointed by the name (not just as a girl, but as a person) I heard good and bad things about this, but more good ones. It's a cream containing high levels of caffeine and QuSome to firm and tone the skin and to riduce cellulite. Really watery and clear, you should massage it into your target areas for 20-30 seconds, but when I apply it dries within 10-15 seconds. I guess you are supposed to keep rubbing it for a deeper effect, however it feels light, leaves a nicetouch feeling and I am enjoying using it; still I don't have any opinions on the effects by now.
