Here on the Grazia Beauty desk, we love a beauty box. All year long, we sift through the busy market to bring you the ones that are actually worth your attention, whether it's the boxes you receive when you sign up to a subscription service or our very own Grazia Beauty Club box, which is pretty brilliant if I do say so myself. But this summer has proved to up the ante, with a series of stellar launches that are almost too good to believe. Like Charlotte’s Summer Icons Beauty Box for example, which is £95 but worth £189 and is packed with six bestselling full-size products and one travel-size hero. Or Boots' very handy Festival Edit Beauty Bag, which packs viral products for just £45. But LookFantastic's latest selection may just be the best we've ever come across.
A first-of-its-kind from the beauty e-tail powerhouse, LookFantastic has revealed its new Solutions Edits, a collection of four skincare and hair sets that go big on solving beauty problems. Leaning into the beauty community's demand for hyper personal, targeted, solution-driven routines, each of the four edits lean into common concerns many of us tend to face, from blemish-prone skin to lacklustre lengths.
Each edit brims with seven full-size heroes and deluxe-size icons, and trust me when I say the bags feel heavy – a good tell of the quality goods lurking inside. And what's more, you can expect an expertly curated edit of the very best brands to tend to each concern, from skin rejuvenating experts like Dr. Barbara Sturm and Medik8, to serious hair healers OLAPLEX and Philip Kingsley. Rest assured, you're in good hands. Plus, while the edits are worth £210, they are on offer for just £45 to provide a great entry point into a more accessible, streamlined, and conscious approach to beauty.
What are the LookFantastic Solution Edits?
There are four edits up for grabs spanning both skincare and haircare, each designed to tend to a specific, personal concern. See what's inside below:

What the brand says: 'Boost flat hair with 4 full-size volumising essentials, expertly curated for just £45. This collection features favourites like OLAPLEX Blow Dry Mist and VIRTUE 6-in-1 Styler Cream. Together, they work to add lasting body, amplify your locks, and create effortless volume - giving your hair the fullness it deserves.'

Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I am fussy about many things, but my hair isn't one of them. On most days, I wash with shampoo and conditioner, then mist over with a leave-in conditioner before blow drying. If I feel fancy, I will work through my ends with a glossy finishing oil. Yes, I'm a beauty journalist but the hubbub of the haircare world leaves me overwhelmed at times, which is why the Hair Volume Edit, £45, is so game-changing. It takes the guesswork out of my flat hair woes with a succinct line-up of hair heroes that get right to the root of the problem. There's Vichy's Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Normal to Oily Hair and Philip Kingsley's Density Stimulating Scalp Mask to help create the right environment for follicles to flourish, while the OLAPLEX Volumizing Blow Dry Mist and VIRTUE One for All 6-in-1 Styler Cream helps to really amp up the volume.
