‘I found a way to get £39 Medik8 serum for £4.50 in beauty deal that saves £100’

The Glossybox Summer Bag Limited Edition is back for 2025 and shoppers can snap it up now – but they’ll need to be quick as it’s expected to sell out

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!”
