M&S Summer Beauty Box

I have really enjoyed the summer beauty box from M&S in previous years. I can’t remember when they launch them, do we think they will offer one this year?

I'd use most of that, but there are some things I know I just wouldn't from having them previously or just not using those type of products. The Percy and Reed hair stuff, Pixi tonic, lip gloss, eye pencil. I'd use the shampoo and conditioner up but don't need them as my hair's not coloured. Perfumes are a bit hit and miss, I've only liked two of the previous box ones. Hmm.

I wasn't going to buy this (!) but just did as DD wanted the hair oil which is £15 on its own! Spent £25 on summer PJs for the kids which we needed anyway.

The perfume is really nice for summer @expletiveDelighted - I have a full size already and it's a very light citrus floral Smile

ExpletiveDelighted · 28/05/2020 14:17

Thanks Richly - I like citrus but not floral so it could go either way. I have way too many perfumes already. But I am tempted.

Mnthrowaway20202 · 28/05/2020 15:19

For what it’s worth, the colour wow products are really good. The shampoo is sulphate free but it’s a good sulphate-free shampoo, doesn’t leave your hair feeling unwashed like others.

@JemIsMyNameNooneElseIsTheSame. Ive done that in the past, ought some towels to reach the Beauty Box\Advent Calendar price level and then returned them. It was fine then but they may have wised up to that trick.

Richlyfruited · 28/05/2020 18:59

Just came back on to say I've just seen the beauty boxes are temporarily sold out now. M&S must be delighted with the demand for them!

Itsmemaggie · 28/05/2020 19:34

Oh are they sold out, glad I decided to take the plunge earlier I normally don’t bother but fancied a treat and trying so new products.

Ronia · 28/05/2020 19:39

Argh. I got halfway through my order this morning and got distracted by kids and went to complete it and they're gone. Hmph.

KensalGreen · 28/05/2020 20:22

Oh no that’s a shame they’re gone but good for M&S! I ordered this linen top and khaki linen dress but I haven’t tried many M&S clothes so feel a bit dubious.

I ordered one today. Was this the first day?

Jemimatheragdoll · 28/05/2020 22:04

Phew I placed an order the morning so sounds like I just got in on time!

This years box looks so much better than last year & I'll use pretty much all of it. I ordered a bottle of Alpha H liquid gold which has been in the advent calendar a couple of times & I've loved.

CointreauVersial · 28/05/2020 22:15

I looked at this earlier, but was on the fence about whether to buy, because several of the products I wouldn't use. I'm usually a sucker for this sort of thing.

If it's out of stock, then the decision is made for me!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 29/05/2020 08:25

They say more stock is coming soon. Maybe M&S need to pay me commission Grin

@DobbyTheHouseElk yes they should! I wouldn’t have bought one if I hadn’t seen this. Looking forward to some nice treats Smile

ajandjjmum · 30/05/2020 07:29

Typical. Released on Thursday which was DD's birthday, so I was tied up. MIL's funeral yesterday, which involved a 360 mile round trip, so was too knackered to look at any website. Went to order it this morning and all gone!

Have to keep an eye open for re-stock.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 31/05/2020 07:10

I’ve never brought these before or the calendars so treated myself this time.
Dd needed new uniform for September so ordered that.
Dd is 14 and I’ve given her the pixi eyeliner and the lip gloss as not my colours.
I really like the pure moisturiser and the perfume and interested to try the hair oil. Overal I’m very happy with it and the bag is perfect for holidays of I can ever have one again.

ajandjjmum · 31/05/2020 08:07

Hope you enjoy it Unicorn - just to warn you when the advent calendar comes along, they are addictive! Grin

Jemimatheragdoll · 31/05/2020 09:32

Just popping back to say I've received the beauty bag and very pleased with it, it's such good value.

I'll give the black eye pencil to dil and maybe the lip gloss but everything else I will use.

I was going to replace my ultrasun face cream with Nuxe so can try out first with the travel size

Definitely agree with how addictive these calendars are-every year I think I'll give it a miss and every year I end up with one Grin

MeetMeInTheMiddle · 31/05/2020 19:29

Sad I've missed this - I didn't get an email saying it was on sale which is unusual.

lockdownalli · 31/05/2020 21:20

I am still waiting for mine to be delivered - very jealous some of you have yours already! I always buy one and the Christmas Calendar Grin

Mnthrowaway20202 · 31/05/2020 21:31

You might be able to pick one up in store. My local stores have reopened their beauty halls

TurquoiseDress · 31/05/2020 23:37

I was randomly on the M&S website a few days ago, ordered some underwear and, on a whim, saw the summer beauty bag.

Never seen or heard of it before, did in store order pick up today and got the bag, very impressed!

Went back to M&S website to try and order another one as a gift, but they are all sold out...going to keep an eye out for more!

Gingefringe · 02/06/2020 07:21

Mine arrived yesterday and I think this is the best one they've ever done - particulary as it's only £15 (are they normally about £25?). Everything will be used and there's no garish nail polishes this time. Even the bag is really useful - much better than a throwaway box. It also comes with a £5 voucher of beauty.
The website says that they're going to be re-stocked so I'll be watching daily to order another one.

TurquoiseDress · 02/06/2020 12:28

Yes I've been checking daily to see if the beauty bag comes back!

Got my shopping in the basket, ready to go when it does come back Smile

Me too! Using MN as an early warning system though. Grin
