The evenings are drawing in, the weather's getting chillier, and there's never been a better time to give our beauty routines a boost. Luckily, Look Fantastic's September Beauty Box is here to do just that - but shoppers will need to be quick, as the deal ends this month.
For £15, beauty fans can snap up the box worth over £80, packed with six top-rated skincare and beauty products from brands including Rituals, Elemis and Dr PawPaw. Subscribers can save £2 a month, while new sign-ups get even more perks: a free Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara, free delivery, plus early access and discounts and limited-edition boxes.
Inside this month's box, customers will find Rituals' The Ritual of Sakura Body Scrub, ideal for gently exfoliating dry skin in the colder weather, and Peter Thomas Roth's Cucumber Gel Mask, a refreshing treatment for tired skin. Meanwhile, Elemis' Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is a cult classic for smoothing fine lines, while the We Are Paradoxx Thickening 3-in-1 Conditioner aims to thicken and tame locks.
PIXI's Glow Tonic toner is a skincare staple for cleansing and tightening pores. Last but not least, the Dr PAWPAW Tinted Lip Oil is a full-size treat for nourishing lips with a hint of colour.
While the box is designed to cater to a range of beauty needs, not every product will appeal to everyone's taste. But that's part of the fun - it's a chance to experiment with something new, or even gift a treat or two to a loved one as a stocking filler.
The September Beauty Box, worth £80, features six skincare heroes from the likes of Rituals, Elemis and PIXI.

Otherwise, Cult Beauty offers some fantastic beauty edits. The retailer's In the Thick of It Edit (£40) contains nine products designed to help better manage locks, and includes big names such as Living Proof and OLAPLEX.
Returning to Look Fantastic's September Beauty Box, it has received plenty of great reviews from happy shoppers. This person said: "Quality products and it's such a nice way to try new items without having to fork out lots of £££.
"My first box was great, I've gone on to purchase the full-size items of two of them. Once I run out of the others, I will be buying more."
Meanwhile, this reviewer said: "This was my first box and I was very pleased with the contents. The handy size mascara and the Elemis face cream are my favourites; however, I liked all the products."
However, it isn't all good news. This mixed review reads: "First box never turned up, and customer services did a great job in sending a replacement. The PIXI tonic has given me major breakouts, which is unheard of in my 50s. Elemis product is fab - the rest I've not used but not impressed - subscription cancelled."
On a more positive note, this Look Fantastic's September Beauty Box fan said: "This month's box was a lovely mix of skincare, haircare, and a touch of makeup - perfect for easing into autumn.
"The hydrating serum and cleanser stood out for fresh, glowing skin, while the hair treatment felt like a much-needed post-summer boost."
