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:
- Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm: 20g
- LANEIGE Hydro UV Defense EX SPF 50: 20ml
