I've just ordered one as I needed to order school uniforms.

Any feedback on them yet? (have searched but can't find any)

I did the same thing. Love a beauty box. Looks good value just for the nail varnish and sun cream.

LateToTheParty · 22/06/2017 20:00

There's a video here of one being opened:

I got one last year when buying school uniforms too (also 20% off) and tempted to do the same this year, even though there's a couple of things in it I don't think I'll use.

I got mine today. The nail varnish is a nice dark corally colour. There is sun tan lotion, waterproof mascara, anti wrinkle cream, sp50 facial moisturiser, hair spritzer. Seems good value as the nail varnish is £12 and suntan lotion 8.50 alone
Boots have free beauty box if you spend over 50 at the moment which is very gooďd

TheFirstMrsDV · 22/06/2017 20:06

I ordered mine with some school shorts, pixie glow and an eye primer.
I am going to wait till I get it so have only glanced at contents online.
I love a beauty box.

Housewife2010 · 22/06/2017 21:06

I can't find the Boots Beauty Box. Is it still on?

macnab · 22/06/2017 21:11

Thanks for posting that video. Yes I do think cost-wise it's worth it, I haven't been disappointed so far so am looking forward to this arriving Smile and I'm a sucker for an offer

i got it 2 weeks ago

JemimaMuddledUp · 23/06/2017 06:35

I've done the same, ordered school uniform with the 20% offer and added the beauty box in for myself. I'm still using the stuff from my advent calendar, will be nice to have some more summery products too.

happypoobum · 23/06/2017 20:27

Just ordered mine. The Christmas one was the Best Thing Ever. I only wish it was a summer advent calendar!!!

JemimaMuddledUp · 23/06/2017 21:21

Picked mine up tonight. Have used the nail varnish already! Pleased with everything, although will probably donate the beach hair spray to DD as I have a pixie cut. Just need the sun to come back so I can use the sunscreen.

Giraffeski · 23/06/2017 21:34

Ive just done an order of stuff I wanted anyway, and split it into four orders so I could have FOUR BOXES Grin

Giraffeski · 23/06/2017 21:38

Was anyone else distracted by the filthy nails in that video? Shock

Ediemccreedy · 23/06/2017 22:01

Omg the nails are manky!

Hoppinggreen · 23/06/2017 22:05

Mine arrives Monday - I will take out what I want while DD is at school and then let her have the rest when she gets home.

happypoobum · 24/06/2017 09:53

OMG just looked at the video - had she just been digging in the garden, with her bare hands?

HRHlikeahornyponywould · 24/06/2017 10:05

Yes, it's not bad.

Nail colour is a bright pink
Full size spf 30

Really good size alpha h moisturiser

Really like the studio 10 primer glow thing

Yiayoula · 24/06/2017 16:49

Just bought at my local store : the Leighton Denny 12ml nail polish alone retails at £12 so too good a bargain to pass by ! Grin

macnab · 24/06/2017 20:00

Oh I'm looking forward to mine arriving now!

Ok.. so done septembers school uniform shopping and treated myself to the beauty box.. Thankyou mnetters!!
Do these boxes come out regularly? I've only seen a Christmas one before..

TheBitterBoy · 28/06/2017 10:19

It has been extended until tomorrow! I thought I'd missed out, but I'm picking mine up click and collect tomorrow Smile
Nicer nails on this video by the way

Hoppinggreen · 28/06/2017 10:21

This is the nail varnish, which I love (excuse the old lady hands!!)

Anyone got the latest M&S beauty box?
Roystonv · 28/06/2017 10:27

Yes, I too found dirty nails very distracting/off putting. Weird when you are talking beauty and you know your hands will be in shot.

ninnando · 28/06/2017 13:00

Has anyone noticed the Studio 10 glow thing having a horrible smell?
I'm not sure if mine has gone off.

TheBitterBoy · 28/06/2017 13:28

What kind of smell is it?

MinesaPinot · 28/06/2017 13:37

Yes, me and mum split our shopping on Saturday so we could get one each. I thought it good value for the sun cream and the nail polish, and then everything else was a bonus. Philip Kingsley spray is an ideal size for taking on hols, as is the Alpha-H moisturiser, especially with a high SPf.
