New Cult Beauty Glow Recipe edit (comes in two colour variants) — £35. Some contents overlap with other recent edits, but it seems like good value if you like their products. I’ve bought one.

www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/beauty-box/cult-beauty-x-glow-recipe-edit-rosy-glow-worth-over-90/16569612/?trk_msg=MILIDRM81RIK11K24LHTK0CE4K&trk_contact=H5MAU07BAMLH3SK7RLO431GD80&trk_sid=7QFKH97AB9FK0F5ORS3DHFT3PK&trk_link=M3T597FAFV84H10MPDGUNDJ4DS&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=SHOP+NOW&utm_campaign=20250501_THU_BOTM_Edit_GlowRecipe

Code CBWELCOME15 reduces it further.

John Lewis have released 2 new boxes on the app. Early access for members (in the rewards section of your app)

Haircare edition £50

Travel edition £60

@DoTheyKnowItsLemonJuice

I ended up buying both versions. With discounts they came to £58 and free shipping.

I'll probably sell on the 2 full size sun sticks as the SPF is to low for me and maybe one or both of the full size dewy drops.

The rest are travel sizes of stuff I already use (the blush drops are really nice) so 80 ml of the toner, 40 ml of the cleanser and 30 ml of the plum cream.

We've decided to go on holiday in June and I've got a 4 day trip this month so perfect for taking away.

Arrrgh ladies! I have succumbed and bought the JLP £60 box! It does look good tho :) plus it includes some shampoo which I need anyway, and mascara ditto
<justifies it>

They do look nice. I've bought quite enough for one day though!

I have also gone with the Cult Beauty glow boxes, I got two and then topped up my order to reach £100 with Ouai goodies.
Also used some of my account credit from the crazy offer a few weeks ago to offset the cost.

Blimey there's yet another one coming soon. I might (should!!!) sit this one out -famous last words, I said that about Glow Recipe so probably won't and I know that as I'm typing this.😳

Cult Beauty x Fleur De Force Edit is coming soon
What’s inside (according to the picture):
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask Deluxe Size
L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil Deluxe Size
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment Glimmers in ‘Crème Brulee’ Full Size worth £17.00
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm Deluxe Size
Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream
Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment
benefit Badgal Bounce Fuller, Fluffier, Volumising Mascara Mini worth £15.00

@OvaHere I am delighted to say the latest one holds no appeal for me. I am still waiting for the one with the Bioeffect in, so much for savings my credit for advent season 😂😂

It mostly doesn't for me other than I've wanted to try Jet Lag for a while.

This is not a good reason to buy a whole edit on the face of it but the travel size is £26 on it's own so then I go down that rabbit hole of £35 (if that's the price) with 10% code is about £31 plus free shipping and I get all this additional stuff.

So total bargain! Right? Even better if I have credit built up - I might get the whole box for the cost of one travel size Jet Lag.

I'm undecided on the Bioeffect, not sure how I feel about GF.

@OvaHere I do the exact same with edits, am sure I am a marketers dream client.
I have an open jet lag mask I am happy to send you, send me a DM with your address and I will pop it in the post for you.
I have got the egf in my nightly routine so happy to pick one up at an edit price or will wait until advent as I have a spare and only use it every third night so a 15ml will last a few months.

Ladies, this thread is very dangerous.
I agree with all the girl math's going on on here 😂
Some really tempting offers on here.
Branster has been really going of lately. I'm sure I'll have a major relapse soon.

I have been reducing some of my stash on Vinted and I think all I have left (which is still way too much) are things I already use or am planning on trying at some point.

I want to thank whoever flagged up Medik8 Advanced Peptides sample order a whole back. Sorry I can't remember who it was.
Brilliant product, not cheap unfortunately. I bought it full size and also found a cheaper one on Vinted for when I run out. Cheaper is relative, it worked out at 60 or so but still a saving and for a good product I was happy to pay.

As a conversation point, LiB had an offer for 50% off any box at the weekend. I struggled to choose 3 boxes for a total of £60 at the offer price. Fantastic price based on the supposed value of over £600. I actually checked everything and the RRP was maybe more towards £500. But that wasn't a problem as such. The big problem was that apart from 4 products which I'd be vaguely interested in trying , I really thought everything else really was a collection of utter rubbish items. I even looked at the re-sale value on eBay/Vinted and not much movement even at tiny prices. I'm glad I didn't order anything. They really have come down very low with their beauty edits, I'm actually going to close my account. I've been watching them for a while and it's simply not for me anymore.

That was me. Of course it was 😳😂

I liked it and bought a full size too. Still finishing the last dregs of a Glow Recipe serum before I open it.

Funny you mention LiB. They've just launched a Summer Glow box and it's the first one I've thought actually that's not bad and was just debating whether to post it here. I usually don't bother because they're not very good.

https://www.latestinbeauty.com/collections/boxes/products/the-summer-glow-up-whats-hot-with-stylist

Anyway it's £68 and 20% off with code GLOWHOT20 making it £54.40

Other boxes seen today that I haven't done a post for.

Boots X Women's Health £45

Bridal Beauty Company new mystery box £50

Here's the Boots one if anyone wants a nose. Looks interesting, definitely a bit different!

https://www.boots.com/boots-x-womens-health-beauty-box-10363309

That Boots one is quite a random selection of products!
I was really hoping for a decent summer beauty box but none of these are quite doing it for me so far. I'm a little tempted by the JL one but on balance, there are too many hair care products that I won't use and nothing that I'm really keen to try so I'll hold off.

The Cult Beauty Travel Essentials Edit was released on 3rd June in 2024. https://beautyadventcalendar.net/cult-beauty-travel-essentials-edit/ It had everything I needed and I used it all. I‘m holding out for this year’s version. The toning mist was like a cooling spray, and I loved it, not the kind of thing I’d include in my routine usually.

@BakeOffRewatch thanks for the heads up! I'll keep an eye out for the 2025 version...last year's looks great!

@BakeOffRewatchjust jumping in to say I absolutely loved that travel edit from CB last year, it’s one of my favourites I’ve ever had as every product was fab. I also loved the mist and I’ve repurchased it many times since as I don’t want to be without! Tkmaxx had it recently for a bargain
