Jack & Hill: A Beauty Blog - make-up, cosmetics, perfume, and the substance of style

Discount for Jack & Hill readers extended through July!

The 20% discount for Jack & Hill readers on Lookfantastic.com has been extended! Now you can shop on Lookfantastic.com throughout July and enjoy a further 20% discount on red-starred items when you quote the code 'jackandhill' at checkout.

If you'd like some inspiration, here are a few products I would recommend picking up:

• Sebastian Body Double Thickefy Styler (my review is here)
• KMS Hair Play Molding Paste (my review is here)
• Anything from the Sebastian Laminates line; I'm loving the shiny, non-stiff hold of the Sebastian Laminates Hair Spray (on which I used my Jack & Hill discount!)
• Any of the Aveda All Sensitive skincare products
• Any of the Aveda Men's products
• L'Oreal Professional Tecni Art Hairmix Sublime Shine (Lookfantastic.com's Head of Marketing, Jason Russell, gave me a bottle of this serum and it's fab) - buy two L'Oreal Professional Serie Expert or Tecni Art products and get this gorgeous summer bag (I have one and it's too pretty for words) free.

If you make use of the discount, leave a comment and tell us what you got and how it worked out for you!

Lookfantastic...for less

Let me introduce you to the truly addictive Lookfantastic.com. They have great deals on Aveda (my brand of choice for experimentation right now), TiGi bargains (including buy one get one free on Bedhead Manipulator), and free leather gifts with purchase of Kérastase (one of my favourite hair product ranges - I'd highly recommend the Kérastase frizzy hair pack; my boyfriend's mother usually buys our Kérastase stuff in France, where it's cheaper, but Lookfantastic has it for even less than she gets it over there)...actually, just check out the page of beauty offers for May and other discounted beauty products while I grab my credit card.

What's also cool about Lookfantastic is that not only is the site is stuffed full of fun features and reasons to keep coming back, but it's all RSS-enabled. Excuse me while I throw my head around and make moan-y, scream-y noises, because RSS subscriptions to beauty bargains is the kind of thing I've only dreamed of until now.

I had the chance to meet up with Jason Russell, Lookfantastic's head of marketing (that's him, at left, doing a deliberately cheesy pose), this afternoon in Covent Garden. We talked a bit about what else is on the horizon for the site and the overall brand, and it's all extremely cool. I wish I could blog about it, but suffice to say that Lookfantastic is a website to watch, brimming with super deals and plenty of value for beauty junkies like me - and, presumably, you. Just to whet your appetite, check out the Lookfantastic virtual celebrity hair salon:

Ever wondered whether Sienna Miller, Scarlett Johansson or Brad Pitt's style would suit you? Now you can find out with Lookfantastic's Virtual Celebrity Hair Salon. Upload your own photograph and stretch and shape each cut to fit your face perfectly!

Unfortunately, you have to be a registered Lookfantastic.com member to use the feature. But if any of you do register and try it out, please do share any particularly fetching (or hilarious) results with us!
