Marks and Spencer launches £155 Summer Beauty Bag - and you can get it for £25

Marks & Spencer has launched its long-awaited Summer Beauty Bag for 2023 - and it has already been praised as "amazing" and a "brilliant deal" by customers.

The luxurious skincare collection contains 11 pampering products - seven of which are full size - from big brands including Clinique, Aveda, Pixi and This Works, in a bright pink mesh bag. The bag costs £155 if bought separately on the M&S website - but shoppers can snap it up for just £25 if they spend £30 on clothing, homeware or beauty.

The bag is already selling fast, after M&S ramped up excitement by teasing its arrival on social media on Wednesday. "Perfect way to try different products - can't wait!" one person commented on Instagram, while someone else said: "Always can't wait to get this!"

The description for the bag on the M&S website reads: "Refresh your beauty routine with our expertly curated summer beauty bag. This selection features 11 must-have products in a vibrant mesh bag, including seven full-sized products. Hydrate your skin with Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion and Bloom & Blossom Rejuvenating Facial Mist, then plump and nourish your lips with Pixi's Lip Lift Max.

"Get ready for days by the sea with Eyeko's Beach Waterproof Mascara and This Works' Perfect Legs Skin Miracle will help get skin ready for the summer. Treat your hair to some TLC with Living Proof’s Triple Bond Complex, Aveda's Botanical Repair Overnight Serum and Philip Kingsley's Elasticizer to help strengthen your hair.

"Nails Inc's Coral Street nail varnish comes in the neon pop of colour for summer days and Dr Paw Paw lip balm will add a beautiful pink peach hue to your lips. A spritz of Discover's Soft Iris fragrance provides a delicate floral fusion perfect for days in the sunshine."

If you're looking for inspiration on what to spend your £30 on at M&S to meet the threshold to get your beauty box for a whopping £130 less than it's worth, the retailer's outdoor furniture range has recently been going down a storm with shoppers with summer just around the corner. One of the most popular garden additions currently on sale is the pair of Lois Garden Armchairs, which have been praised as "so comfortable" and currently have 25% off - working out at just under £56 each.

Or over in the M&S clothing department, customers have hailed the "gorgeous" and "beautiful" summer dresses in the new Per Una range. The new range has just landed in stores and online, and is all about bold colours and prints to make a statement this season with striking florals, bohemian detailing and floaty shapes perfect for the warmer weather.

M&S isn't the only high street favourite that has launched a luxury beauty bundle this week. Just yesterday, Boots launched its Elizabeth Arden Premium Beauty Box, which contains products worth over £115 but comes with a price tag of just £48. Available now on the Boots website, the swanky selection includes five Elizabeth Arden products that have been branded "amazing" by shoppers who said they "can't live without them".
