Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Those familiar with Lookfantastic’s the box will know it’s the retailer’s regular edit of the best-in-class beauty products, which are often tailored towards a particular theme.
Last month, the box was dedicated to Black Friday, and Avant’s centifolia rose radiance capturing mask, Pai lightwork cleansing oil, and a full-sized Bondi Boost elixir hair oil, plus much more, were all included for just £24. So, after spotting Lookfantastic has now created a special the box edit for Christmas Eve, I snapped it up fast.

Lookfantastic Christmas Eve edit 2023 (worth over £190): £50, Lookfantastic.com
Maintaining the wow factor of previous Lookfantastic boxes, the Christmas Eve edit is absolutely bursting at the seams with beauty goodness. Inside, you’ll find eight products, including haircare, skincare and make-up, all of which will help you get glammed up for Christmas Day.
For me, the key highlight is a tiny 2ml Clé de Peau beauté, which, although tiny, is a real gem, as the full-sized 50ml option comes in at a whopping £700. Plus, I was pleased to see that a real crowd pleaser, the Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm, is also included in a 20g travel-size, as well as a Too Faced damn girl mascara.
There are also plenty of full-sized products inside, including the Bleach London reincarnation mask (£10, Lookfantastic.com), a satin eye mask, a Brushworks heatless curling scrunchie (£8.99, Lookfantastic.com) and a 100ml Molton Brown relaxing ylang-ylang bath and shower gel (£25 for 300ml, Lookfantastic.com)to really whack the box’s worth price up too.
Of course, this isn’t everything included in this super set, but I’ll keep the rest a surprise for now, should you wish to gift yourself or a very special loved one the perfect beauty-filled night before Christmas.
