Any subscribers to The Look Fantastic Box who got the September box - please can you share a picture of the wet brush logo? I've just bought one from vinted that someone said is from the box and I'm 99% sure it's fake... I don't want to raise an issue with the seller if lookfantastic are giving away fakes as she wouldn't know 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you 🫣

@JoRaRaRa that's like my stash! It was all in boxes in the way of putting up the christmas tree so husband has made me sort through everything and I'm actually a bit ashamed of how much I have accumulated. I've probably got enough for everyone in my family for a year or more. In my defense though it's my only vice, I don't drink or smoke, and until this year I had completely neglected myself caring for my mum and very demanding children.

bendybusbuggy1 · 13/11/2025 18:05

I've tried ordering from the spacenk app and they keep messing up my order at the payment stage and then cancelling. Does anyone else have this problem?

I think I'm going to make up a few beauty stockings and put a few things on vinted or gift them to my mum and sisters 😊

I think your mums plan worked then 😂

Sorry, it was the October box. I've just watched diary of a beauty geek's unboxing and the logo on hers is the same, which is worrying as it's definitely fake... Not the vinted seller's fault though bless her

🤣 What have you done with it all? It sounds like you definitely deserve to now treat yourself and have some self care (and a beauty mountain), Enjoy it 🩷

I think I have a problem, this doesn't even include the JL luxe box, Lancome holiday set, Hourglass set, the advent calendars, TPS autumn box, Liberty beauty drops, Boots £10 Tuesday purchases, Vinted purchases (except one), Next box (although I've added the cherry body mist as a token), the Ellis Brooklyn perfume trio and my hbeauty purchases 😳 my mum said to put it all out so I can see that I actually don't 'need' anything else even though my head is telling me that I do.

Looks amazing 🥰

What a great haul! I’d love to see the whole lot on display 😁
I’m having the same issue with forgetting what I’ve got and running out of places to put things.
Two more parcels arrived today, which I recall ordering, but now another one has arrived and I have no idea what is in it 🙈😅

On another note, I love the colour of your cabinets 😃

BakeOffRewatch · 13/11/2025 19:29

I love your reviews @JoRaRaRa , there was a really good one you did the other day of your discovery perfume society set and your Harrods beauty day review was excellent. Why not go through your stash and do a blog post on each with photos?

ITookYourJoob · 13/11/2025 19:33

@JoRaRaRa oh my, that Dior set looks beautiful 😍 I’ve seen a picture of the cosmetic bag with a chain attached, making it into a small shoulder bag. Probably too small to actually hold everyday stuff, but.. so shiny! 😁

RomanFruit · 13/11/2025 19:52

@bendybusbuggy1 I received an order confirmation for mine, so presume that means it’s gone through. I used ApplePay, in case that helps you troubleshoot?

I had planned to get it all out, but some of the stuff is under the bed and it was a right fight to get it all in place and be able to close it 🙈🤣 I don't fancy fighting with it again just yet. I'll have to snap a photo of everything in a few weeks when I get the advent calendars out.

Thank you, it's a new kitchen so currently the only tidy room in the house 🤣

JoRaRaRa · 13/11/2025 19:58

@Thelifeofawife also Two more parcels arrived today, which I recall ordering, but now another one has arrived and I have no idea what is in it 🙈😅 - how fab is it to get mystery mail though, it's so exciting getting the surprise present 🎁🤣

Oh thank you 🩷 sometimes I go on a bit and I wonder if anyone will read it 🤣 To review my stash properly, I’d actually have to use it instead of just admiring it from afar and occasionally peeking at it 😳

bendybusbuggy1 · 13/11/2025 20:06

@RomanFruit , first order was PayPal, that was cancelled because the Gwp was added twice. Second was credit card, that will be cancelled I'm sure because it shows I paid -98 pounds ... I contacted customer services....

Yes, I've seen some with the chain too, I need to find out what to do with this. I didn't get a chain with mine, but I'm hoping I can buy and add one. I had originally planned to use it as a makeup bag but I like the idea of using it as a handbag, especially as I coukd never afford a real dior bag.

Ps, sorry everyone for the multiple posts 🙈

bendybusbuggy1 · 13/11/2025 20:07

But they're now off until tomorrow and the 20% off offer is only on today

bendybusbuggy1 · 13/11/2025 20:08

It's probably a sign 🙂

I bought a chain from Amazon and added it, I ended up selling mine as my phone wouldn’t fit in it.

I very confidently bought a plastic drawer unit to put it in so I could actually see what I had and I could access it when I needed stuff, there was nowhere near enough space, I now have 4 drawer units and still can't quite fit everything in 🤣 but it's definitely better than it was. I have banned myself from buying anymore skincare or haircare so instead have decided I'm now into perfume. Safe to say my husband is not impressed with me.

Would you mind sharing the Amazon link for the chain? I’ll need to check if my phone would fit before I order one 😊

I love that you thought 1 would do and now have 4 🤣 At least you can see what you've got now. I'm right into perfume now too, tell your husband it's an investment 🤣

No no noooo I love your posts! I like your writing style , you are very funny and chatty. And lots of interesting detail! At the RHOBAC meet up I’d like to sit next to you 😜💕

Looks like Spectrum BF deals are already up. Some have sold out but they've still got a couple of the smaller sets for £10.

They do sales all the time though so there's a good chance they will restock and do another before Xmas and certainly in Jan.
