M&S beauty box on sale

[ilovecherries]

www.marksandspencer.com/mothers-day-beauty-box/p/p22510812?OmnitureRedirect=mothers+day+beauty+box Anyone buying it? I'm tempted as I really enjoyed the advent calendar, ended up with some stuff I'd definitely re-buy, but this box looks as if it's more 'pampering', if you know what I mean, rather than skincare.

Well, just realised I'm almost out of two staples I get from M&S anyway, so I don't need to spend anything I wouldn't have had anyway, so it's on its way.

Nah. Too much rose scented stuff. Shame.

Thank you
I've ordered it, along with Korres shower gels as they are buy one, get one free

I like the idea of this but have never bought any beauty stuff from M&S. Any recommendations?

Beauty Box

I guess it depends on your skin concerns, Bloosh. I like the Emma Hardie cleansing balm, the Ren cleansing milk, absolute night cream, and stila and Rosie by Autograph make up. Also got liquid gold in the calander at Xmas, and I like it, but I only use it once a week, it's powerful stuff!

Thanks for fixing my link, gingernaut. Wish posts were editable.

I like REN stuff so that's a good tip

My recommendations - L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil &Lavender Hand Wash.

Bugger, I've just bought a load of The Ordinary gumpg, and can't really justify buying more.

I love rose scented stuff too.

Thanks for the heads-up, nice that you can use multiple offers - the Emma Bridgewater range is buy two and get hand creams free so might stock up for gift cupboard and keep the beauty box for me...

I love the PURE skincare range and needed to top up on day cream, so got the BB for free - great deal.
I also get it delivered to my local M&S shop (food only) and it will be delivered tomorrow - easy.

Marie Claire has free Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream free this month, four quid for 15ml.

The REN serum is amazing

got my beauty box today.
DD2 will want to fake an "unpacking" video so I will let her open it later.

Agatha mystery - which REN serum did you mean ?

My little heart went pitter-patter when I saw the title of this thread. I LOVE a beauty box! But when I actually looked at it I was very disappointed - it's all toiletries, no make-up.

It all looks a bit 'old lady' to me (and I say that as someone closer to 60 than 50).

Yes m&s think "mothers" are all about ruse fragranced products. 😜

ROSE!

Since there are some m&s skin care experts around, what's the pixi glow tonic like? I have very dry skin but starting to get hormonal breakouts (at nearly 40 ffs ) and I was wondering if this would be more gentle than beady exfoliators?

I'm a Mother and I love rose scented products (and I adore lavender).

I saw it in store today and most of the products looked very small. The perfume smelt quite nice though.

Got this today as was buying stuff anyway.

Best find in it is the loccitane hand balm, I've used plenty of their hand creams before but this feels more nourishing and less claggy. Love it.

I like m&s perfumes anyway so that was nice (and a nice size).

Everything else is ok but not mind blowing.

I'm such a sucker for boxes and mini sized stuff though.

kaynes, I like the pixi glow tonic. I only use it every second night, and I think my skin is certainly looking better over the last couple of months. I certainly prefer it to scrubs.

I picked up my order today so got my box, it's a bit twee but actually there isn't anything in it that I won't use.

Thanks cherries
