    Has anyone bought this?

    The offer is the box for €15 if you spend €50+ on clothes/home etc (basically just not food).

    https://www.marksandspencer.com/c/style-and-living/marks-and-spencer-summer-beauty-box

    The Rodial mask is alone is €16 on Beauty Bay.

    Not sure everything in there is for me but I'm interested in the Rodial mask, the Ultra sun SPF and the Emma Hardie vit c cream.

    I also just love miniture products, I travel a fair bit so small products always get used.

    I know... it appears minitures are my weakness. I do use them though, I'm probably away once or twice a month and I have a stash of minis that I work through when I'm away. I will decant my full size products sometimes, but this is a nice way of trying new things also.

    I didnt get it last year but I did the year before. I like that its more skincare focused this year rather than lipsticks and nail varnishes.

    I bought school uniforms in the 20% off offer, so my reasoning was €15 was then excellent value! Only annoying thing is it has to be collected in store.

    I'm pretty sure the Ren shower gel and the perfume were the same last year, I never used the perfume although I really liked the shower gel. I do feel that their box last year was better https://www.hellomagazine.com/healthandbeauty/makeup/2018053049022/marks-and-spencer-summer-beauty-box/ and it is where I discovered (and loved!) colour wow dream coat. On comparison of this years and last years, I dont think I would be rushing to purchase tbh

    Last years does look pretty good alright, don't know why I didnt get it in hindsight.

    The only one I've had previously was the first year they did it, perhaps 2 or 3 years ago, and if I remember correctly it was just free with a spend of €70. I bought a jacket which I ultimately returned. Asked if I had to give the box back, and I didnt! It was free but I dont remember getting anything that brilliant in it, certainly nothing thats become part of my day to day routine. I think there were 3x Leighton Denny nail varnishes which are all I remember. They were good, but I really only use them on my toes as I always have gel polish on.

    Well I went out at lunch time and bought it (along with 2 bras which I may or may not keep).

    Have had a quick nose but will have a better look later.

    Yeah pretty good. I tried the Emma Hardie vit c creame and I'd be happy to use it.

    I'm also intersted in the dry shampoo, the Rodial sheet mask, and the facial spf.

    The shower gel is a good size -100ml - so could be brought away on a slightly longer trip. The other things are nice too but probably of less interest. I tried the highlighter on the back of my hand and seems very pigmented so will try it properly sometime. Perfume is nice (wihtout being amazing) but its a nice size for handbag or keeping at my desk.

    Going down the country for the weekend next weekend so will defo bring a few of the bits with me for convenience.

    I've decided to keep one of the bras I bought but the other one is going back. one fits perfectly but the other is too small. Same size, so annoying!

    Sounds good! I wanted to try the dry shampoo as well - that brand interests me. The bra thing is VERY irritating!

    Ah flip, I ordered bras online, over €50, and collected them instore today but never saw this offer when I was ordering. A few bits in there I'd have been interested in trying out.
