M&S Summer beauty box

Does anyone know if M&S are doing a summer beauty box this year? Loved the last one. I wondered if they would after not doing the advent calendar this year.

They've just released details on beauty advent calendar

M&S Summer beauty box
picklemewalnuts · 15/05/2021 19:44

Expert M&S shoppers, do you recommend any of the products in the bag? I'm a bit of a novice on skin care. (I'm 50 and have freckles and signs of age, but no other skin issues.)

Mrstwiddle · 15/05/2021 23:27

The Aveda leave in treatment looks good potentially, not fussed about any of the other products.

I was really looking forward to this year's beauty bag, I've had my basket ready for ages to jump on it but I'm disappointed and I'm not going to bother this year. I've got loads of products to use up so it's probably a good thing really! I'll see what they release before Christmas but I didn't bother with their Christmas box last year either.

@FredaFox - I'll have your REN tonic... I bloody love the stuff! 😊

BeaLola · 16/05/2021 08:49

I usually but it but having seen the products in it I probably won't bother .

I have a very large box crammed with lots of Space NK GWP bits, advent calendar bits etc and am trying to use them up.

ElderMillennial · 16/05/2021 09:05

I'm wondering whether the aveda product is the same one that's been in their boxes and advent calendars before but in new packaging or is a different product? The box is worth it for that but then I'm not sure what I'd spend £30 on...

FredaFox · 16/05/2021 09:40

I’m pleased with the aveda, not tried that before. It’s not been in a previous box. It was a rescue remedy thing before
@ShiningGonnaShine I got another bottle this week in my John Lewis box! It gets put in everything. Why?! 😂 I do use it but would love to try other stuff

Betsy88 · 16/05/2021 10:12

I think that box is pretty decent for £20, providing you’ve got stuff you need from M&S to make up the £30 spend.

I bought a travel size of that Aveda recently to try it and really like it - the full size of that in the box is worth £28 alone. I’m happy getting eye creams as they’re not something I buy usually but like trying them. The SPF will be really useful, and I’ve got fine hair so the thickening spray is welcome.

These boxes are always horses for courses aren’t they. I didn’t get the Xmas one as wasn’t so fussed by stuff in that.

Noapplejustcrumble · 16/05/2021 11:19

I like the look of this box so I’m tempted. Like the look of the Aveda hair product - looks like it might be curly hair approved, the REN product and also the Emma Hardie.

ElderMillennial · 16/05/2021 11:22

I can't tell what colour the nail polish is. I'd rather it were pink than another red.

picklemewalnuts · 16/05/2021 16:25

@ElderMillennial it says watermelon pink.

ElderMillennial · 16/05/2021 16:32

On thanks @picklemewalnuts

I only saw the pic and not the list

JemimaMuddledUp · 16/05/2021 16:59

The Wow shampoo and conditioner that were in last year's bag were really good, hopefully the spray will be too.

I love the L'Occitanne shower oil. I had a L'Occitanne advent calender last Christmas instead of M&S.

The nail varnish looks a nice summery colour too.

Hopeislost · 16/05/2021 19:40

I have had that Nuxe Oil in so many things - I don't rate it! The Aveda hair treatment looks good and is £28 on its own!

ElderMillennial · 16/05/2021 20:28

I agree about the Nuxe oil. I'm sure I've got one or two from an old advent calendar or glossy box .

TenCornMaidens · 17/05/2021 07:37

Jumping on this is always a fun buy, especially for my Mums birthday Grin

Hopeislost · 24/05/2021 12:35

Does anyone know if the minimum spend is before or after staff discount?

Luvacuppatea · 27/05/2021 09:42

Beauty bag now live!

jay55 · 27/05/2021 09:50

Didn't spot separate thread, ordered this morning, might take 10 days to arrive, separately from the order.

Batshittery · 27/05/2021 19:59

I got my beauty bag today. It has some lovely things. The nail polish is very pink so not my thing. It's worth it for the Aveda leave in conditioner

HappinessButterfly · 27/05/2021 20:19

It’s out today!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 30/05/2021 11:17

Ordered mine. Love a pink nail polish!
