M&S Summer Beauty Bag

Mine arrived at the weekend. Im pleased with the products this time, perfume spray is rather nice, a nice bright nail polish for my toes only !

I've been so tempted today, but had to remind myself that I'm still working my way through the M & S Advent Calendar, and the Boots No 7 bargain box I bought a few months back..... It's well worth the price though!

I was cross with M & S last year when they sold an Advent Calendar to our son-in-law at the full price (around £130, I think). He knew DD1 got it every year and wanted to get in quick and surprise her - he hadn't realised it sold at £30 if you bought some goods. She got a refund but honestly, they could have told him at the checkout!

Received it this morning, I don't usually bother with these sort of special offer beauty bags, but there is some nice stuff in this one such as the Clinique moisturising lotion, the perfume in particular has a nice fragrance, small but not so tiny, ideal for taking away. Worth the £25 for sure, I think it is mooted as having an actual worth of £145, yeah right! who would be mad enough to pay that though!!!

I saw it when using my gift voucher - but was not tempted as I'm allergic to most things. Sometimes I do buy 'specials' for my daughters, though - but not this time. Nail varnish? I don't display my toes nowadays - as my old feet are pretty ugly.

Going to take a look 🙂

Mind you, I find it difficult to spend £30 on anything in M&S these days

I persuaded DH that the new jacket he wanted had to be bought from M&S; luckily he agreed!

I gave in, HousePlantQueen.

First of all I couldn't get into the website, then couldn't log in as it didn't recognise my password 🤔, then I reset my password then got a Gateway error, finally got in, it was very slow and kept saying "Oops, Something Went Wrong".

I expect the bags have all gone now with thousands of Gransnetters all logging on after seeing this thread 😁

When I eventually got in anything I thought might be ok and wearable was sold out 😁

I think it’s excellent value for £25 you get so much more value wise and I will use everything, love the perfume sample actually. And the polish is perfect on toes!!

* I do have the luminous orange nail polish on my toes for fun.*

Maybe it will be like a club with a secret sign - maybe waggling your toes - when you see someone else wearing it

Too random for me.

I bought it for 25 quid with a new jacket at £45. Last summer's beauty bag was given to me as a gift and it was much better value, I feel, with the products being much larger sizes - e.g. 150ml instead of 30ml. Last year's nail polish was a slightly different shade of shocking pink, same brand, and I'm still working my way through that! However, now the Barbie film is out, we can be fashionable for five minutes

I just bought one, excellent products. I use the Clinique anyway, and this is a great travel size tube, and I heartily recommend This Works leg stuff, I already have a big bottle of it and this is again, a handy holiday size

Nope, I like to select my own toiletries/ beauty products and £25 sounds a lot for a bag I don't need and random small products.It’s a great marketing idea tho.😄

Too much of a mixture for me and too many small bits. I wait for one of their 20% off periods for beauty products which happen now and then and stock up.

I’ve bought it again in spite of writing in my diary last year Don’t buy Advent Calendar or Beauty Box. At £25 it’s a good buy. I’ll give some products to my daughter and granddaughter. I like the Philip Kingsley elasticiser. Wish Clinique would include a sun factor in their moisturiser . Don’t see me using the coral nail polish.

I tried twice with Aveda and still it printed wrongly.

A Veda hair products are excellent.
The leave in conditioner in the advent calendar was worth the cost alone.

Got one a couple of years ago- but didnt use all the items.

I love their Xmas box so will have a look for this summer box. I use Clinique and Aveda anyway

I am a fan of M & S Christmas beauty box and the summer one. A chance to try different products.

I have purchased it, and think it is good. All usable, the bag is a lovely colour and useful for holidays. I love the nail polish too, but only use it on my toes and in the Summer it looks good.
I bought it as I spent over £30 on hair products I use all the time,and I thought the bag was value for money.

I bought one too since I was buying other things anyway. Couldn’t resist. I shall give it to my dil to share with my 15 yr old g’dtr. It does look like an interesting selection. As others have said the Aveda hair range is excellent. I am a big fan of their leave in conditioner which is the best thing I have ever used on my fine, dry hair.

Thanks for that MissChateline I don't feel so daft now. It was the Clinique product that caught my eye, I use it. This works leg cream is good, difficult to rub in but really works. Great to know that the Aveda hair products are good they will go on holiday.
I bet you are a bit younger than me the polish might have got a look 50 years ago,it still is but the wrong kind.
