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 stayed up until midnight last night to order mine with some new undies. Think they sold out pretty quickly again but have just had an email from M&S saying they're back in stock again...but probably not for long!

ExpletiveDelighted · 11/06/2020 10:50

It's a bit of a mixed bag for me, I like lipgloss but rarely wear it as my hair sticks to it. I know I don't rate the Percy and Reid hair oil, I wish they'd stop putting that in. Everything else looks promising though. Oh maybe apart from AHA tonic, I have sensitive skin and don't normally use acids.

Lemonade the bag is back in stock now. I’ve just ordered mine.
The bag has a full size pure day cream in it which is £16 on its own. I use that day cream so well worth it.

@ExpletiveDelighted

In stock again now. My carefully saved basket stuff had gone out of stock overnight, cue panic pyjama-buying!
@ExpletiveDelighted - I hate it when that happens to - your saved item/s gone outta stock! Hope you found some good pyjamas. I love soft pyjama bottoms and hard to find some. I like the almost jersey *(but not too thick now as it's summer), soft, cottony feel. I always look out in Sainsbury's as their pjs that are medium thickness jersey are lovely atm, got striped light blue ones couple months back. Great to hear the Summer Beauty Box is back in stock - go wild girls and I'm excited for you :D

Sainsburys are usually my first port of call for nightwear, they have a great range. I used to be able to buy school uniform to get M&S offers but my kids no longer need it.

Terralee · 11/06/2020 12:07

I ordered mine earlier with a short black cotton skirt & black vest top that I wanted.

I'd already got the Percy & Reed hair oil travel size & find it good for my fine hair, so I'm pleased they put that in.
Also, the facial sun lotion & the moisturiser.

PrimalLass · 11/06/2020 14:17

Oops just ordered another one with some school unifrorm

trumpisaflump · 11/06/2020 16:46

@PrimalLass I might have to do the same 😆 Though the thought of a school uniform is bittersweet right now as god knows how many days my DS will be at school come August (Scotland).

PrimalLass · 11/06/2020 16:55

Well same. But I've done it anyway.

campista · 11/06/2020 17:20

Bagged mine - mens underwear needed - he has his uses! Looking forward to 22nd June for delivery.

ajandjjmum · 14/06/2020 09:21

Got mine in the second release (something like 6 am in the morning!). Arrived yesterday on a booked delivery date - I'm very impressed.

ExpletiveDelighted · 17/06/2020 15:55

Well, I got mine on Monday and am impressed.

The perfume is nice but a bit too floral, I will be able to wear it so long as I stick to one squirt far away from my face, any more and it has got definite headache potential for me.

The eye liner is great, I don't normally wear it but this goes on very well. The lipgloss is a bit glittery and they always stick to my hair but I'll wear it occasionally. I like the shower gel, will try the toner and will give the hair oil another go. I'm sure I'll use the other things too. I like the bag it all came in too.

Penguins1 · 17/06/2020 16:53

Hi everyone! I have been using more products from this lovely summer box bag:
Volumising Hair oil by Percy and Reed - this is great. It even volumises my thick, coarse long hair. I used it as instructions pretty much, tips, lengths and roots. Less on the root part but say start about 1 inch from head.
It is great!
M and S eau de toilette - it is fresh and light. So I love the fragrance. Boyfriend also gives it a thumbs up. How's everyone else doing with their haul? Smile

Inspiralcarpetry · 17/06/2020 17:01

I got it too on the basis of this thread!
I'm really pleased. Tried the shampoo&conditioner this morning and like them. I loved the lipgloss colour, it's just my colour and I love the iridescence.
Love the shower gel anyway.
The only thing I didn't like was the perfume. But no probs, it will go to a good home!
Big thumbs up from me and I had fun opening and lining the products up like a child!Grin

lindyloo57 · 17/06/2020 17:12

@ jemismyname, I had to return the item to make up the £25 spend, I phoned m&s and ask what do I do and was told you don't have to return the beauty bag.

ajandjjmum · 17/06/2020 19:12

DD has stolen my perfume - and a couple of other things! Grin

2gorgeousboys · 23/06/2020 18:45

I ordered a second one this morning on tbe basis that I loved the moisturiser and as that is £16 on its own it made sense to buy another beauty bag.

I also really liked the facial suncream, shower gel and perfume.

Tomorrowisanewday · 23/06/2020 21:44

2gorgeousboys - me too. My skin is very sensitive, had awful eczema til my early 20s - the moisturiser and the shampoo and conditioner don't make me itch, so worth it for thoseSmile

MathsFiend · 23/06/2020 23:39

You are all very bad people.... I’ve just succumbed and bought one.

ajandjjmum · 26/06/2020 21:24

You've saved yourself a fortune MathsFiend! Grin

YorkieTheRabbit · 26/06/2020 22:18

I’m waiting for a replacement, opened mine to find the hair oil was all over the contents of the bag, not one drop left in the bottle Sad
Contacted customer service and they said keep what was usable and they’d send out a replacement. I’ve had a quick squirt of the perfume which seems quite nice but not tried anything else yet. I’ve had to give everything a good wash but the bag has gone in the bin, along with the soaked perfume and eyeliner boxes. I’m still looking forward to trying the hair oil, but it did smell a bit potent, I’m sure a little bit will be ok Grin

profpoopsnagle · 27/06/2020 10:33

Has anyone else tried the sun mask- I really like it!

I used it this week because of the lovely weather we'd had. I put it on on in the evening after a cooling shower but forgot to wipe it off 10 minutes later. However I think this wasn't a problem and I carried on leaving it on (this might depend on your skin, mine is super dry). Light holiday fragrance and super soft skin in the morning.

It's only £6.50 too so I would definitly re-order.

SuckingDieselFella · 27/06/2020 15:44

Mine came today and I'm very happy.

Lots of good-sized products and with the £5 voucher it's cheaper than buying the Pure moisturiser on its own.
