As we approach the holiday season, LookFantastic has released its Travel Edit 2025 — a curated beauty box designed for convenience, indulgence, and travel practicality. Priced at £30, the box contains 10 premium beauty products (all under 100ml), making it perfectly airport-friendly and ideal for hand luggage. The total value of the box comes to over £105, offering a substantial saving.
Here’s a full breakdown of what’s inside and whether this year’s edit delivers on value and quality.
Compared to last year’s edition, which offered 15 products at a similar price point, the 2025 Travel Edit focuses more on quality over quantity. While the number of products has decreased, the individual product value has notably increased, with standout items from high-end brands. The contents have also been carefully curated to suit travel-specific skincare and beauty needs — a clear shift towards functionality and thoughtful inclusion - perfect!
Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo & Conditioner Duo (2 x 75ml, £25 total)
A standout duo designed for fine or limp hair, this set includes a volumising shampoo and a lightweight hydrating conditioner. The shampoo gently cleanses while adding bounce and volume, while the conditioner smooths, detangles, and enhances shine. Both products are travel-sized but generous enough for a week-long getaway. Even for those with thicker hair, the lightweight formula is universally appealing for summer haircare.
Avène Thermal Spring Water (50ml, £5+)
This soothing mist is enriched with Avène’s signature thermal spring water. Ideal for use during or after flights, beach days, or in hot climates, it instantly refreshes and calms irritated or sun-exposed skin. Though it appears simple, the hydrating mist is a staple in many skincare routines due to its anti-inflammatory and balancing properties. Its sleek spray can makes it easy to throw into any travel bag - fab for a mid-day refresh.
Biossance Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser (50ml, £5+)
Formulated with calming aloe and hydrating squalane, this gentle cleanser from Biossance removes makeup and impurities without stripping the skin. Ideal for those with sensitive or sun-stressed skin, it provides a soothing, non-drying cleanse — exactly what you want after a day at the beach or pool. The 50ml size is a decent size for a travel cleanser.
Zelens 3T Complex Anti-Ageing Cream (15ml, £36)
An unexpectedly luxurious inclusion, the Zelen 3T Complex anti-ageing moisturiser is packed with botanicals, herbal oils, and algae extracts. It’s designed to smooth and firm the skin while enhancing hydration. Despite the small 15ml size, a little goes a long way, making it an ideal product for a short trip. The high retail value also adds a touch of luxury to the box.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ (Deluxe Mini, £6)
This cult-favourite sunscreen offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection in an ultra-light, non-greasy formula. Designed to be water and sweat-resistant, it’s particularly suitable for hot, humid environments. The compact size is perfect for touch-ups throughout the day, though it's definitely a bit too small for full-body use.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist (30ml, £11)
This body mist captures the iconic scent of Sol de Janeiro’s Bum Bum Cream (gorg!), with notes of pistachio, almond, vanilla, and salted caramel. It’s the perfect scent to evoke a sunny holiday mood and easily fits into your handbag. Great for both day and night, it’s a sweet, warm scent that adds a luxurious feel to the lineup.
L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil (35ml, £4)
A cult-classic product, this shower oil transforms into a luxurious milky lather upon contact with water. It cleanses the skin while leaving it soft and moisturised. The almond scent is warm and comforting, and a little goes a long way. An excellent addition for those who want a touch of spa-like luxury while travelling.
Perricone MD High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Serum (7.5ml, £13)
A concentrated serum infused with hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and plump the skin. Ideal for travel when skin tends to become dehydrated, this serum is both lightweight and effective. While the 7.5ml size is rather small, it offers enough for several days’ use, especially when used sparingly on dry areas - or just as a way to try out a pricier serum without purchasing the full sized version.
Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser (7ml, £5+)
This rich yet lightweight moisturiser from Ole Henriksen is packed with vegan peptides, ceramides, and collagen to support the skin barrier and improve elasticity. It works well as both a day and night cream, especially for short trips. The 7ml jar is petite, but combined with the Zelens cream, it provides flexibility in a travel skincare routine - or again, a nice way to sample the product before diving in and purchasing the full sized version.
Is It Worth Buying the Travel Edit 2025?
The 2025 Travel Edit is well-curated, practical, and high in value. While it includes fewer products than previous years, the overall quality and thought behind the selection have significantly improved. Each item is genuinely useful during travel, whether it’s for hydration, sun protection, cleansing, or simply freshening up on the go.
A few small critiques: including a second SPF or a dedicated body moisturiser would have rounded out the box more fully. However, the presence of premium brands like Zelens, Sol de Janeiro, and Perricone MD adds significant value, making the box a great deal at £30.
If you're planning a trip soon or simply want to try out some high-end minis, the LookFantastic Travel Edit 2025 is absolutely worth considering. It’s a well-thought-out collection that balances indulgence with practicality, perfect for both seasoned travellers and beauty enthusiasts (or both!).
