THE LOOKFANTASTIC HOLIDAY ESSENTIALS BEAUTY EDIT

Summer holidays? Exciting. The thought of having to decant every beauty product you own so you can take it all with you? Not so much. Trying to condense an entire shelf worth of beauty favourites into a suitcase – or worse, those little plastic bags that get handed out for hand luggage at security – is a true skill, and shopping for those summer beauty essentials can be overwhelming. We’ve done the hard work for you, editing down our beauty arsenal into an easy-to-shop, necessities only edit (no over-packers here) of the best beauty bits you’ll need this summer.

From the light-as-air, blendable stick foundation you can keep in your carry on, to the sun-shielding super SPF’s, the genius tan extending after-sun, and the hair-colour miniature hero’s, to the luxury tan drops that are our best kept secret – LOOKFANTASTIC have them all. Meet THE travel essentials you can’t go on holiday without – and they have an epic sale at the moment, plus you can use our code (THISISMOTHERSHIP) for a little extra cheeky discount on top of sale.
