M&S's summer beauty bag is back – it costs just £35, but it's worth £210

Independent06-06-2025
M&S's sell-out summer beauty bag is back for 2025. Your chance to discover new favourites or revisit classic formulas, the bundle offers a smorgasbord of the best brands in M&S's beauty hall – think This Works, Arkive, Dr Paw Paw and Estée Lauder.
The bag includes four full-size products and seven travel minis. There's a mix of cult buys like Color Wow 's dreamcoat spray and new launches like REN 's SPF 50, and to make travelling even easier, all the products are packaged in a pink wash bag.
Unlike previous years, the bundle is only available in-store because of an ongoing major cyber attack. Since the incident, the company has reportedly lost around £300 million, having paused online orders and purchases on apps until at least mid-July.
Here, we've got all the details you need to know about what's in the 2025 M&S summer beauty bags, plus how to shop in-store and show your support for the high street stalwart.
As well as the impressive range of beauty goodies worth £210, you'll also get a beauty bag thrown into the mix. Coming in a summer-hued bright pink and peach, there's no risk of it blending into the background and getting lost in your hand luggage. With a zip closure and roomy design, it's perfect for storing all your essentials while travelling or for providing extra storage in your bathroom cabinet.
As for the products inside, there are some impressive formulas. Color Wow's dreamcoat spray (£19.50, Amazon.co.uk) is a cult favourite for protecting your hair against heat styling and taming frizz, particularly in humidity. Arkive's good habit hair oil (£15, Boots.com) adds the final flourish to your summer haircare regime, boosting your hair's shine thanks to baobab and jojoba oils (the formula has a lovely fragrance, too). A compact Tangle Teezer brush (£10.50, Boots.com) is also thrown in for brushing your hair on the go.
When it comes to skincare, REN's new SPF 50 (£36, Renskincare.co.uk) hydrates and protects summer skin. The lightweight formula doesn't leave a white cast and is suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Dr Paw Paw's original balm (£7.25, Amazon.co.uk) is a handy make-up staple.
Offering a two-step bodycare routine, there's Bloom & Blossom's ultra-nourishing moisture body cream (£24, Bloomandblossom.com), as well as This Works' body smoothing wash (£14.40, Amazon.co.uk).
You'll find two Estée Lauder products in the beauty bag. The double-wear mascara (£18.15, Amazon.co.uk) is full size and claims up to 15 hours of lash definition, while the brand's revitalising supreme moisturiser (£58, Amazon.co.uk) is packed with peptides for reducing fine lines.

Shoppers are snapping up ‘dirt cheap' toys from B&M from 80p – and they're perfect to put away for Christmas

The purse-friendly retailer currently has a summer sale on, and many people are taking advantage of it to start on their Christmas shopping. 8 8 8 8 One bargain hunter took to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to show off the toy haul they did this week. They wrote: 'Check your local B&M folks. Just got all this for dirt cheap.' One of the cheap items they snapped up was a Tiffany doll with a scooter, which was just 80p. They also got a Tattoo Meez set with a plushy for just £2.50, and they spotted a Disney Bitzee for £18. The shopper added: 'They also had Power Ranger Funko Pop, Lego Star Wars for £9, Ninja Turtles stuff and more.' B&M just this week launched a two for £20 offer on over 20 of its products but has dropped prices on others by even more. In any case, always remember to compare prices before buying any product as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.

Lauren Goodger displays her sunburnt boobs in plunging bikini top as she flogs games to fans in her garden after sharing surgery regrets

Lauren Goodger displayed her sunburnt boobs in a plunging bikini top as she flogged a series of games to her fans in her garden. The reality star, 38, has been making the most of the UK heatwave by stripping off and relaxing in the sun - after sharing that she has 'ruined her looks with surgery'. Taking to her Instagram on Tuesday, she put up a Story where she was visibly sunburnt on her chest. She was wearing a cream and khaki bikini and full glam whilst enjoying the weather. Lauren, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2010, told her fans about a series of cash-grabbing games which can earn them up to £80. She admitted she spends a lot of time 'pointlessly scrolling', but fortunately there's actually a benefit that comes with it. Speaking to her followers, Lauren said: 'Hi guys, if you're like me and just waste loads of time scrolling on pointless apps, well then this is for you. 'You can earn up to £80 just by playing games. There's over three million subscribers and it's all over Trustpilot, it's completely trusted.' Lauren then encouraged her fans to sign up by sharing the link in her post. The telly personality seems to be embracing self-love just weeks after admitting that she thinks she has 'ruined her looks' with plastic surgery. Earlier this year, she revealed her plans to have her breast and bum implants removed this year. And speaking to The Sun, Lauren admitted the surgery she has undergone has left her thinking her body looks 'abnormal'. Lauren said she thinks her 'massive boobs and bum' have made her look bigger than she actually is and shared her plans to look like her old self again. The reality star expressed regret about getting the work done and insisted she plans to have all of it removed or reversed. Lauren said: 'I've ruined my looks with surgery - I hate my fake boobs and bum now. 'I feel like my body looks abnormal - I don't need these massive boobs and massive bum. She added: 'When I look at myself naked in the mirror, all I see is lumps and bumps everywhere.' In May, Lauren revealed she is having her 'heavy' breast implants removed and can't wait to go back to a 'natural look'. She admitted her breast were 'perfect' before although now they simply 'make her look big' while opening up about her breast-reduction journey on Instagram. After years of desperately wanting to get her cosmetic surgery reversed, Lauren revealed she had finally plucked up the courage to put plans in place for later this year. Sharing her plans in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, she said: 'I was terrified [of getting it done] which is what I'm working on, I'm working on that. 'I've delayed it for a year now. I was meant to get the implants out and I want them out because that will transform me. 'It's not even about my weight, it's more my boobs and bum. If I could get rid of them I'd feel and look so much better.'

BBC tennis pundit was stalked by obsessed man who had previously targeted her sister

A BBC tennis pundit has revealed the terrifying ordeal she endured at the hands of a crazed stalker who targeted her for almost a year after first pursuing her sister. The former British tennis pro, Naomi Broady, whose brother is tennis star Liam Broady, was subjected to a relentless barrage of Facebook messages between January and December 2023, in what prosecutors described as a deeply disturbing harassment campaign. David Richardson, 39, from Stockport, appeared before Manchester magistrates' court last month where he admitted stalking Naomi's sister, Emma, 37, for three years and harassing Naomi over a 12-month period. Court documents reveal how Richardson sent 'multiple unwanted images and messages' via Facebook, as well as gifts, cards, and paintings. The campaign, it said, caused Naomi 'serious harm and distress'. Naomi, 35, who was part of the BBC's Wimbledon coverage last month and works as a commentator for BBC Radio 5 Live, is the latest in a growing list of female sports stars targeted by obsessive fans. When confronted at his home by The Mirror, Richardson admitted the offences. He claimed he had first tried to strike up a relationship with Naomi's sister Emma before asking her out. Naomi, 35, who was part of the BBC's Wimbledon coverage last month and works as a commentator for BBC Radio 5 Live Richardson had gone to school with Emma, but after she rebuffed him, he began targeting Naomi. He told reporters: 'I wanted to try to win her over. I wanted to ask her out... I was a bit out of practice with the girls... I've not been in a relationship'. The stalker confessed he had bought her a Selfridges voucher and some flowers for her birthday, but didn't ask her out. Then when Valentines Day and Christmas Day came around he sent her the same gifts. He claimed she thanked him and said it 'really cheered her up'. Richardson has now been banned from contacting either woman or approaching their homes ahead of sentencing at Manchester Crown Court on August 18. A source close to the sisters said: 'It was terrifying. They were pleased the police took it seriously. Action has now been taken'. Court documents on Richardson state he: 'Between 13/9/2020 and 4/12/2023 at Stockport pursued a course of conduct, by sending multiple unwanted images and messages via Facebook and sending unwanted gifts, cards and paintings, which amounted to stalking causing Emma Broady serious alarm or distress, which had a substantial adverse effect on her usual day-to-day activities when you knew or ought to have known that your course of conduct would cause alarm or distress.' They add: 'Between 18/1/2023 and 4/12/2023 at Stockport, pursued a course of conduct which amounted to the harassment of Naomi Broady, and which you knew or ought to have known amounted to the harassment of her in that you sent various unwanted messages on Facebook.' The ordeal mirrors the experiences of other high-profile tennis stars, including British Katie Boulter and US Open champion Emma Raducanu, who have both spoken of being stalked and threatened in recent years. Boulter revealed she had been followed in a car and sent menacing social media messages, while Raducanu was left in tears after a man trailed her to four tournaments, prompting a restraining order. Naomi, a former Wimbledon quarter-finalist in mixed doubles and a mother to twin boys born last December, began working as a BBC commentator in 2021. She had a celebrated career on court, reaching the second round at both Wimbledon and the US Open, and winning her first senior title in France in 2009.
