The £25 M&S September Beauty Box contains premium skincare worth over £100

For under £30, the M&S box is good value and great for trying new products from top skincare brands.

The M&S September Beauty Box contains a selection of nine products, with five full-sized products and five deluxe or mini items.

The variety of products is designed to showcase the beauty range available at M&S, which includes the retailer’s own skincare and well-known brands.

Although M&S boxes are not necessarily a monthly fixture, there have been several themed boxes in the past, including winter, summer and wellness collections.

The products included are worth over £100 when bought separately, so shoppers are saving more than 75 percent when buying the edit.

The M&S box has only just launched, and follows an expansion in the brand’s skincare lines earlier this year.

One of the full-sized products in the box is from the new Fresh Elements range which launched in June.

The Hydrate Overnight Moisture Cream drenches the skin with moisture and uses hyaluronic acid and Vitamin B5 to keep skin looking youthful.

Full Contents:

• 10ml Dr Paw Paw Original Balm

• 30ml Emma Hardie Moringa Balm

• 30ml L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

• 75ml Percy & Reed Wonderbalm

• 100ml Pixi Glow Tonic

• 10ml Shay & Blue Tallulah Camellia

• 50ml Fresh Elements Soak Star Overnight Moisture Cream

• 250ml Apothecary Calm Hand Wash

• 5ml REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream

The highest value item in the box is the Shay & Blue Tallulah Camellia, which is worth £25, and is a premium unisex fragrance in a travel-sized spray.

The Percy & Reed Wonderbalm is worth £22 alone, and helps to tame and smooth the hair, making styling much easier, frizz more manageable and stray hairs controlled.

For clean and fresh skin, the Emma Hardie Moringa Balm is also a highlight – it’s worth £20 and is a cult favourite that cleanses, hydrates and purifies the skin.

Although it’s called a beauty box, the contents includes skincare, haircare and fragrance, and for those looking to top up on makeup, it’s worth keeping in mind that unfortunately there isn’t any included.
