Charlotte Tilbury drops summer beauty box with 50% off
The Summer Icon Beauty Box saves shoppers £95 on Charlotte Tilbury must-haves, including the Pillow Talk range and hydrating Magic Cream Charlotte Tilbury's summer sale is back and this year we are seeing the return of the highly coveted Mystery Box as well as a Summer Icon Beauty Box, giving beauty fans six full-sized makeup and skincare items along with a Magic Cream travel mini. Packed in the brand's signature crimson box and ready to gift, the Summer Icon Beauty Box offers a rare opportunity to bag much-loved makeup and skincare essentials at a half-price. Unlike the Mystery Boxes where the contents were kept under wraps, this time Charlotte has disclosed every item in advance, so shoppers know precisely what they're splashing their cash on. The Summer Icons Beauty Box is a handpicked collection of Charlotte's most sought-after products, including seven full-size icons and a travel-sized Charlotte's Magic Cream, all beautifully presented in a luxurious gift box. Valued at £189, it's priced at £94 - that's a saving of £95 for seven products. Inside the box, fans can get their hands on a Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Peach Pop, the internet-famous liquid blush that imparts a sun-kissed flush in seconds. Shoppers will also receive the Hypnotising Pop Shot in Diamond Eyes, a sparkling champagne eyeshadow that adds instant glamour. Charlotte Tilbury has also added a summer essential for smudge-free, sweat-proof look - the Pillow Talk Eyeliner and Push Up Lashes Mascara Eye Kit (worth £44) to create a bold eye with lenghtened, lifted and voluminous lashes. For lips, the Lip Lustre in Blondie provides a glossy, peachy-nude finish perfect for summer days or nights, while the Cheek to Chic blush in Ecstasy offers a radiant, soft-focus glow that complements all skin tones, reports Liverpool Echo. Rounding off the set is Charlotte's Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser, which dissolves makeup while hydrating the skin, and also a travel-size Magic Cream, her top-selling moisturiser that becomes a backstage essential for catwalk-ready radiance. Charlotte Tilbury isn't the only beauty retailer embracing the new summer season as Glossybox has revealed its eagerly anticipated Limited Edition Summer Bag. Overflowing with 10 premium, viral and essential beauty must-haves, it's valued at over £142, but can be grabbed for £45. If customers are still searching for inspiration, ASOS is offering its Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box for £40. Presented in a handy travel pouch, the collection boasts £135 worth of products, saving a whopping £95 on the RRP. Alternatively, Boots has the Get Holiday Ready Bag, which is packed with glow-enhancing favourites, hydrating heroes, and mood-boosting fragrance. Valued at £124.50, the seven-piece edit is priced at £32 , which means each item averages out at £4.57. Brands featured include Sol de Janeiro and Laneige, but also Milk, Bobbi Brown, MAC and more. The Charlotte Tilbury Summer Icon Beauty Box is a fantastic opportunity for long-standing fans to replenish their collection, or for newcomers to sample the brand's products at a significantly reduced price. The only drawback is that the shades are pre-selected and may not be everyone's preference, but they appear to be universally flattering without any unusual or garish colours. It's perfect for gifting, sharing, or simply treating yourself to a summer-long glow-up. Additionally, anyone who spends £90 will receive a complimentary Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur worth £29, making the offer even more enticing. Now that all items have been unveiled and the price has been halved, shoppers can view the Charlotte Tilbury summer set here.

Beauty buffs find way to get Elemis, Laneige and Sol de Janeiro for £5
Rivalling the likes of Boots and Glossybox, ASOS' latest beauty box includes eight products from the likes of Elemis, Laneige, Sunday Riley, Sol de Janeiro and Elizabeth Arden Beauty buffs set to jet off to sunnier climes this summer will no doubt already be thinking about what products they'll be taking away with them. With limited space in suitcases and hand luggage, every product must be carefully considered to make the cut. To help take the stress out of packing, a number of popular high street retailers have released travel edits, with fashion favourite ASOS being the latest to throw their hat into the ring with their Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box. Coming in a handy travel pouch, the edit costs £40 and 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. Designed to melt away makeup and impurities, the haul contains a 20g tub of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm. It's the same iconic formula as the original, but with a delicious cherry scent in a tub that's the perfect size for a week away. Countless times the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist has been hailed as a 'holiday in a bottle' scent. With notes of pistachio, almond, vanilla and salted caramel, this mini mist will not only be the ideal fragrance for a getaway, but will mean beauty lovers can leave their more expensive scents at home. The Patchology Skin Remedy Soothing Eye Gels are a must for those catching a plane this summer. Pop them on during the flight and arrive at the destination with de-puffed, brighter eyes. Shoppers can also expect to find a LANEIGE Hydro UV Defense EX SPF 50, the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour HydraPlay Skin Perfecting Daily Moisturizer, Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment. Philip Kingsley Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask and The Ritual of Karma Lotus Flower & White Tea Body Scrub. The set rivals the Boots Get Holiday Ready Bag, which is filled with glow-enhancing favourites, hydrating heroes, and mood-boosting fragrance. Valued at £124.50, the seven-piece edit is priced at £32, which means each item averages out at £4.57- making it slightly better value than ASOS, but with fewer products inside. Brands featured include Sol de Janeiro and Laneige - like ASOS' - but also Milk, Bobbi Brown, MAC and more. Glossybox has released a brand-new Travel Beauty Kit Limited Edition - and it saves shoppers more than £120 on the contents. While the goodies inside this beauty haul are worth over £150, it can be snapped up for an impressive £30 by subscribers, or £40 by non-subscribers. Glossybox's travel kit features 12 skincare, makeup and haircare treats, five of which are full-sized. Among the goodies inside Glossybox's travel kit is the e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer Mini, a Morphe M2 Quad Goals in Hibiscus Twist, worth £16, and a Rodial Dragons Blood Sculpting Gel, worth £27. Both of these sets have earned some glowing five star reviews from shoppers, however, ASOS' set is so new it's yet to generate any ratings from customers. This could potentially put off shoppers who prefer to read comments from others before making a purchase. Another potential downside is that beauty fans may not like every single product in the edit, which is why it's always worth double checking the contents. Here's what's inside the ASOS Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box: In other news, LookFantastic is offering the Summer Heroes Edit for £45, which, considering it's valued at over £150, means a stunning saving of £105 for buyers. The exclusive bundle includes six beauty gems, including four full-sized items from high-end brands such as Sol de Janeiro and ESPA. Space NK also has an exciting haul, inspired by the viral TikTok trend, 'the everything shower'. The luxury edit of bath, body, and haircare costs £70 and is worth £165, boasting names like Sol de Janeiro, Living Proof and Alpha-H.

Shoppers save £52 on REN, PIXI and more in Lookfantastic's new box
Beauty writer Eve Rowlands has received a number of Lookfantastic's monthly beauty boxes and she thinks May's is one of their best yet When it comes to beauty boxes, in my eyes, each haul needs to have something for every stage of the beautifying process: a product for hair, skincare, make-up and body, either pre, during or post-shower. Lookfantastic's May box has nailed it for this month, and I think it's the best box since I joined its subscription. Worth more than £65, the box costs £50 less than that for a one-off order of the May selection itself, £15. However, if you sign up to receive the Lookfantastic box each month for a 12-month period, it drops to £13. Containing six products, this month's feels like a bumper pack as it not only contains one full sized product, but three - it usually has one full sized product or two. So this felt like a bit of a lottery. This May box certainly rivals that of Glossybox's 5-product offering. Their box this month contains products to help you enjoy the sunshine, such as the e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30 and the Anatomicals Make Your Skin Grin Mango & Papaya Body Cream. Costing £13.50 for a one-off purchase, shoppers can also get it for £12.50 when they sign up for 12 months. Although if you want a bit of a treat, Cult Beauty's The Set for Sun Edit is worth £175 and costs £40. Packed with sun-ready formulas, the box features brands like Supergoop!, Elemis, Philip Kingsley and Ultrasun. While it's more expensive, those who have snagged this set love it, stating it's 'the perfect summer set with all your favourites in it. Loads of minis so the best for your travel kit'. This month, the Lookfantastic Box has pleasantly surprised me with all of its products. The haul includes three full-size items: REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Gel 150ml (worth £25), Bedhead After Party Smoothing Cream 100ml, and PIXI Clear Brow Tamer Brow Gel. It also included First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Fresh Strawberry Body Scrub with 10% AHA 28.3g in a deluxe-size, a LOOKFANTASTIC Cleansing Cloth and a Bondi Sands face tanning serum. Firstly, the REN cleanser is just a really good facial wash that leaves my relatively sensitive skin feeling nice (not irritated), hydrated and most importantly clean. It's quite fluid but doesn't feel slimy and lathers up enough to feel like it's nourishing. It's great if you are in a rush, as it doesn't require minutes to melt away the dirt (like my usual fave Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm). The facial cloth in the pack is also really nice and soft on the skin, making it a TLC session when taking off the day. The only thing I didn't quite enjoy about the cleanser is its scent, which is quite herbal. I'm more of a fruity or essential oil person, so that would stop me from repeat purchasing it. With that in mind, I adore the scent of the First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Fresh Strawberry Body Scrub with 10% AHA because, as the name suggests, it smells like strawberries. It makes buffing the bumps on the backs of my arms, knees and other problem spots a much more enjoyable experience. I feel like I've been launched into a pool of Strawberry Laces with every use. As a scrub paste, it does feel akin to rubbing sand on my skin, but not in a harsh way as it softens when mixed with moisture. Plus, in the few times I have used it, it actually works at reducing the appearance of bumps on the skin. It's important to moisturise well after use and wear your SPF as the AHA in the solution can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. It also goes without saying this isn't for use on the face - stick to the body only. The small but mighty Brow Gel from Pixi is another favourite of mine as it gives my brows a really good lift, without being sticky, hard or flaky when dried. Even when running my fingers over my brows to intentionally try and put them out of place they don't budge and easily slot back into the structure I'd created with the brush. I like the Bedhead After Party Smoothing Cream as it tamed my flyaways and gave my locks a lovely, frizz-ish-free shine. However, as someone who wears their hair curly most of the time, this cream feels more suited to someone who dries their hair smooth. It'll be great when I want a sleek look, though. The Bondi Sands Pure Self Tanning Sleep Mask is the product I've not yet tested but am excited to. It claims to deliver an overnight tan as you sleep, all whilst nourishing it with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.
