'I found a way to get £39 Medik8 serum for £4.50'
Beauty fans can get their hands on almost £100 worth of free makeup, skincare and haircare products with a £45 spend this week. It comes as Glossybox has released its highly anticipated Summer Bag Limited Edition, which rivals the likes of Boots and LookFantastic.
Packed with 10 premium, viral and essential beauty must-haves, it's worth over £142 but shoppers can buy it for £45.With standout brands including Sol de Janeiro, Morphe, ICONIC London, and Medik8, it's a seriously good-value treat whether you're stocking up for holidays or just want a beauty refresh.
The star of the show is undoubtedly Medik8's cult-favourite C-Tetra Serum, worth a whopping £39 alone. That means you're essentially paying £6 more to get nine extra beauty goodies and the stylish summer bag it all comes in.
Known for brightening, smoothing and protecting skin with its potent Vitamin C formula, the Medik8 serum is a science-backed skincare powerhouse. As part of the offer, it works out at £4.50.
Elsewhere, ASOS is offering their Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box for £40. Coming in a handy travel pouch, the edit boasts £135 worth of products, saving £95 on the RRP. Inside, shoppers will find eight products from a range of top brands, including Elemis, Laneige, Sol de Janeiro and Elizabeth Arden. As part of the offer, each item works out at £5 apiece, making Glossybox's better value per item.
Boots has released their Get Holiday Ready Beauty Bag, too. Priced at £32, this limited-edition bundle holds a value of £124.50, and contains seven mini and travel-friendly products including Floral Street's Sunflower Pop Eau de Parfum , which is usually £29 for 10ml - that's only £3 less than the price you pay for the whole box. And it actually works out at £4.57 when you divide the number of products you get by the price you pay.
Another summer beauty haul is LookFantastic's Summer Heroes Edit for £45. Valued at over £150, the exclusive bundle includes six beauty gems, including four full-sized items from high-end brands such as Sol de Janeiro and ESPA.
Glossybox has promised that this edit is 'better than ever', and if that's the case, then shoppers are going to be thrilled because last year's haul saw some pretty impressive reviews. There aren't currently any ratings for the 2025 edit, but last year, one said: 'My bag arrived today and I was really surprised at the quality of the items that I received. I absolutely loved the Hawaiian Tropic fragrance mist it smells amazing and the other items were equally as good.'
Another described it as the 'best box ever', adding: 'Loved, loved all the products and the bag is a lovely colour, well done Glossybox.' With another thrilled with the contents, writing: 'Loved this limited edition. The bag is lovely and all the items are great and exactly as I expected, with a few additional treats like someone else mentioned, some tic tacs, a strawberry hydration sachet and a can of peach and orange prebiotic drink.
'This is the best limited edition box that glossybox has done for a while. You had to choose if you wanted dry shampoo and the redken spray or the shampoo and conditioner. I choose the dry shampoo and redken spray and received both.'
One shopper seemed disappointed to have not received the dry shampoo in their box. They left a four-star review, commenting: 'I was surprised at how quickly I received my order! Fabulous summer holiday edition, I'm pleasantly surprised that I love all the items and the bag is fab. I'm a little disappointed that the dry shampoo is missing. I do however love all the little extra treats I received. All in all it's a brilliant box!'

During a recent video where Ash, an ambassador for ROC, promoted this undereye balm, she hailed it a "industry secret" and praised it for "fixing your creased concealer without redoing your makeup'. Ash said in the video posted to her Instagram account: 'All you need to do is apply a small amount right underneath the eye or wherever your concealer is creasing. It doesn't matter what kind of concealer you've used, but this is a fix-it stick, is what I like to call it.' She continued: " It literally reverses the wrinkles and the creasing that you see underneath the eye area. It just smooths out any eye texture. I also love that it's weightless.' This brightening eye balm, loved by the celeb makeup artists, is said to glide on clear with a unique touchless application while working to brighten and visibly reduce dark the same time, this brightening eye cream features Vitamin C and peptides that are clinically proven to visibly reduce puffiness and dark circles while brightening your eye area.

Further praise over at Boots comes from this buyer who beams: "Excellent taken at least 2 weeks to notice a difference even been commented on by friends definitely will be buying again Margaret." Another happy shopper says: 'Easy to use and feels great on the under eye. Helps concealer glide on well with no creasing.' While this customer who picked it up from iHerb says: "I absolutely adore this balm. It's incredibly easy to use, and the vitamin C in its ingredients gives my under-eye area a radiant glow. RoC products consistently impress me, and this one is no exception. It has no scent and has a smooth texture which I most like. I'll definitely continue using it."

Before we delve into this year's contents, it's worth noting that summer-style beauty edits are everywhere right now, with Next's The Glow Up Beauty Box priced at £22, but is actually worth over £115 in total. Another popular edit that is often snapped up every year is the Glossybox limited-edition Summer Bag. Packed with 10 cult-favourite beauty goodies, it is in fact said to come to a total of over £142.

Don't miss out on the bestselling 2025 Boots x Summer Love Island Beauty Box that costs £55, but is worth £290.92, by nabbing it online now. Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it."
