We chose nine of our favourite products to set you up for summer, keep scrolling to see and shop:
1 SKIN PROTECTION
It’s your most important skincare buy, all year round. And there’s currently 20 per cent and more off some hardworking SPFs by trusted brands such as Shiseido, La Roche-Posay and Murad. The Summer Shop lists SPFs from 15-50+ so you can choose your strength; we love the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50, €19.45, and La Roche-Posay’s quick and easy Anthelios Invisible Anti-Shine SPF50 Face Mist (€20.95), for on-the-go spritzes to keep your skin safe.
2 TOP TANS
Top up your tan drops: adding a few drops into your daily moisturiser is the easiest way to pep up your skin for spring, and cast off that winter dullness. We rate Jules Von Hep’s Isle of paradise Self-Tanning Drops (€23.45); and we’re dying to try their new Sunny Serum, an easy, foolproof way to get a glowing tan, while also hydrating your skin. You’ll also find self-tans by St Tropez, Tan Luxe and ESPA.
3 BODY BEAUTIFUL
Sol de Janeiro is HUGE at the moment with its super-sweet scents and gloriously pillowy textures. Find the full range, including the brand-new Cheirosa 59 perfume mist (€27.95), with notes of sugared violet, vanilla and sandalwood, and Delicia French Body Butter (€20.95), plus mini sets – we love the Bum Bum Jet Set (€34.95). And that’s not all – there’s currently 20 per cent off a wide range of selected products from the range – from body mists to body butters.
4 THE LATEST BRANDS
There are always new brands dropping at Look Fantastic – the most recent include lipbalm maestros Laneige, skincare stalwarts Elemis, haircare sensation Color Wow and the beautiful Stories perfumes.
5 FINE FRAGRANCES
Keep an eye on Look Fantastic for fabulous deals on the finest fragrances, from designer labels such as Narciso Rodriguez, Chloe and Mugler. For example, there’s currently 15 per cent off several bestselling Tom Ford perfumes, including Velvet Orchid (€104.95, rrp €123.45), Café Rose (€147.95, rrp €174.45) and Oud Wood eau de parfum (€216.95, rrp €255.45).
There’s 20 per cent off a selection of top men’s scents, too, including Montblanc Explorer eau de parfum (€53.95, rrp €67.45).
6 THE DESIGNER LIP SHADES FOR SPRING
I’ve been trying out the new YSL Loveshine lipsticks (luminous, semi-sheer glowy colour) and Rouge Volupte Candy Lip Gloss (balmy colour, with cold-pressed mango oil and pomegranate extract), and love them – they’re exactly what we want for a lighter spring make-up look, giving a balmy, natural-looking finish that feels light on the lips. My current favourite is Loveshine in 154, a light and juicy berry shade. Best of all, you can currently get hold of them at 14 per cent less at Look Fantastic (€35.95, rrp €41.95).
PS If you love YSL perfume, mascara, skincare and make-up, there are lots of stunning savings here, from Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara to Touche Eclat. Stock up on Yves Saint Laurent NU Bare Look Tint for a glowing, non-try-hard complexion, €26.45.
7 THE TOTAL TOOL KIT
From professional make-up brush sets to hair-styling tools, scent diffusers to body brushes, all your beauty needs are just one click away at Look Fantastic. And to keep it all in? It can be hard to find a cute beauty bag – but how about this tassled green velvet one by Elizabeth Scarlett (€46.45); it includes a donation to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, to support injured wildlife, including orphan elephants.
8 LUXURY TREATS
On our wishlist? Fresh Lily Jasmine Body & Hand Wash, €30.45. New from the brand behind cult classic Brown Sugar Body Polish (€41.95) – still the best in class; the citrus-scented scrub is just delicious. Both make lovely gifts, too.
9 BOX FRESH
The Box by LOOKFANTASTIC is an insider’s secret. The monthly boxes sell out fast – subscribers receive six beauty discoveries every month, with the April box, for example, being worth over €161, but available from only €15.45 (saving over €145). There are also exclusive edits from top brands such as Drunk Elephant. A subscription makes a great gift idea.
