As a beauty journalist, I've written countless articles on a myriad of products over the years — some brands have become my staples (hello, Jo Malone and Neom) while others are familiar but remain untested. Nuxe falls into the latter category; its renowned Shimmering Multi-Purpose Dry Oil has always been on my radar, but for whatever reason, I've never been tempted enough to invest in it. Enter the newest beauty box on the scene: the Look Fantastic x Nuxe Edit .

This £45 package boasts Nuxe beauty products valued at over £135, including four full-size and two deluxe-size items — perfect for those already smitten with the French cosmetics brand or those seeking an introduction. I leapt at the opportunity to get an early sneak peek of Look Fantastic's latest beauty box, particularly given my previous positive experiences . But how would this specific collection measure up? Huile Prodigieuse® Shimmering Multi-Purpose Dry Oil | Full-Size | Worth £22 Super Serum The Universal Age-Defying Concentrate | Full-Size | Worth £60 Prodigieuse® Boost Multi-Correction, Glow-Boosting Gel-Cream | Full-Size | Worth £33 3-in-1 Hydrating Micellar Water, Very Rose | Travel-Size | Worth £5 Rêve de Miel Honey Lip Balm | Full-Size | Worth £12 Rêve de Miel Hand and Nail Cream | Travel-Size | Worth £3 Upon diving in, I instinctively reached for the brand's iconic Shimmering Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, arguably its most famous product.

As someone with naturally pale skin, I applied my fake.
