There are nine products in total, averaging out at £4.44 per product, making the deal even more enticing than Boots' famed £10 Tuesday event. Some of the brands showcased in the haul include the likes of Caudalie, OPI, Floral Street and more.
Exclusively available on the Boots website, it contains a variety of items from cleanser and serum to conditioner, nail polish, and fragrance. Packaged in a vibrant pink and yellow striped gift box, it's the ideal gift for any beauty aficionado in your life.

Product Description
The Caudalie Beauty Elixir alone is worth nearly the cost of the entire nine-piece set at £36. The 'radiance-revealing' facial mist aims to minimise pores and bestow a radiant glow while setting makeup using natural ingredients that soothe and hydrate the skin, reports Wales Online.
Leanna Feryn, Boots Beauty Specialist, said: 'I love how varied this box is. For skincare, The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid Serum is an absolute essential; it delivers deep, lasting hydration and is a staple in any routine. For makeup lovers, the ICONIC London Kissed by the Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glow adds a radiant flush with a skin-like finish that flatters every complexion.
'And for daily protection with a brightening boost, Hello Sunday's The One That's a Serum SPF 50 is a must-have—it combines powerful Vitamin C with broad-spectrum sun defence, making it a multitasking gem for luminous, safeguarded skin. This beauty box is such a great deal and a brilliant way to discover some new favourites or stock up on beloved essentials without breaking the bank."
Here are the items inside the Beauty Drop Beauty Box:
Caudalie Beauty Elixir 100ml – FULL SIZE.
OPI Infinite Shine Longwear Gel-Like Nail Polish - Last Glam Standing 15ml – FULL SIZE.
Iconic London Kissed by the Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glow So Cheeky – FULL SIZE.
FUL Colour Care Conditioner 250ml – FULL SIZE.
Q+A Salicylic Acid Smoothing Lotion – FULL SIZE.
Hello Sunday SPF50 Serum 30ml – FULL SIZE.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 15ml.
Floral Street Sweet Almond Blossom Perfume 10ml.
First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Facial Cleanser 28.3g.
Six out of the nine items in the collection are full sizes. However, it's worth noting that the First Aid Beauty cleanser included in the box is 28.3g, not 30ml as stated on the back of pack information. Boots has confirmed that the back of pack information is incorrect.
Boots isn't the only shop offering beauty boxes that offer more than their price suggests. The OK! Beauty Box is packed with 11 products, 10 of which are full size – including a popular Medik8 serum. Despite the total value being over £210, the box usually sells for £59.99.
Meanwhile, LookFantastic is tempting skincare enthusiasts with The Skin Renewal Edit, valued at over £210, but priced at £45, perfect for those who prefer an anti-ageing focus - something the Love Island box doesn't offer, likely due to its younger target audience. The LookFantastic edit includes seven anti-ageing essentials like Dr Loretta's Intense Replenishing Serum, Clinique's De-Puffing Eye Massage, and Medik8's Crystal Retinal.
Boots hasn't overlooked the men this month, either, with a Boots X Men's Health Grooming Edit filled with top-notch skincare and grooming essentials designed to 'elevate your routine'. This box is slightly cheaper at £38, but is worth £138.21, so you're still saving over £100.
Inside, shoppers can find daily essentials and rejuvenating skincare heroes from brands like Elemis, Bulldog and The Ordinary, plus nourishing haircare staples from Johnny Chop Shop and Dapper Dan. There's a whopping 14 products in this box, 10 of which are full sized, which can be gifted as one big set, or divided into stocking fillers to save on festive treats.
The box contains:.
Bulldog Anytime Daily SPF 30 Moisturiser 75ml – FULL SIZE.
Estrid Face Razor Lagoon – FULL SIZE.
Dapper Dan Signature Style Styling Powder 20g – FULL SIZE.
Fussy Refillable Natural Deodorant (Wilderness) 40g – FULL SIZE.
No7 Energising Face Scrub 150ml – FULL SIZE.
Johnny Chop Shop Volume and Texture Powder Matt Finish 20g – FULL SIZE.
Dr Squatch Natural Soap Bar Wood Barrel Bourboun 141.7g – FULL SIZE.
Barber Pro Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask 23ml – FULL SIZE.
Philip Kingsley Flaky/Itchy Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 250ml – FULL SIZE.
Rock Face Original Body Spray 200ml – FULL SIZE.
Rituals Homme Cedar wood + Vit-E complex Foaming Shower Gel 50ml.
Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash 15ml.
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 30ml.
Versace Eros Energy Eau de Parfum 5ml.
And, anyone who buys the edit can enjoy a free 12-month digital subscription to the Men's Health magazine. Of course, their downside to these kinds of curated edits is that shoppers may not appreciate every single item in the haul, however, the value does often outweigh the one or two products that may not fit the bill.
In other beauty edit news, advent calendars have started to hit the shelves, with the likes of Harrods, Soap and Glory and Liz Earle all having released their Christmas countdowns. But if it's the Boots beauty and grooming edits that have taken your fancy, they're available on Boots.com now.

I tested three of the best SPF lip balms that can be reapplied with ease on sunny days – one is a real treat
I ADORE tinted lip balms, but SPF is essential on these sunny days, so I've swapped my two-in-one for a longwear lip liner, followed by a clear SPF lip balm that I can reapply with ease. These are three of the best. BUDGET E45 Protection Lip Balm SPF30, £7.99 for 10ml, E45 was a staple in my family growing up, so it's a brand I trust implicitly – even if it's not always the prettiest on the shelf. When E45 launched suncare last year, I was pleasantly surprised with how sophisticated the formulas were, and this new lip balm is no different. With vitamin E, squalane and shea butter, it really packs a punch to repair chapped lips and keep them hydrated all year round, and the SPF 30 is an added bonus. It's also fragrance-free, which is great news for anyone with sensitive skin that irritates easily. MID-RANGE KIKO Milano Sun Protection Lip Balm SPF 50, £12.99 for 4.8g, This is my absolute go-to if I'm on holiday somewhere hotter than the UK or if I'm going to be in the sun all day, as it's one of the only lip balms I've found with full SPF 50 protection. I love the translucent bullet – it reminds me of my favourite SPF stick, and the added hyaluronic acid and vitamin E ingredients keep my lips hydrated for hours. Although, I try to remember to reapply at least once an hour, especially if I'm eating or drinking, to ensure they are protected against sun damage. This is also the shiniest of all three products here, without being gloopy. The Inkey List has launched new tinted lip balms, and they have saved my dry lips this summer LUXURY Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15, £23, There's something so nostalgic about the scent of Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour products, so I always enjoy applying this lip balm, and have used it for years. It goes on smoothly, and leaves a subtle sheen that feels super-hydrating – but it's not at all shiny like a gloss or an oil. My one gripe is the Factor 15 protection – I wish it were higher. But to make up for it, I apply a few layers, and top up more regularly. There aren't many luxurious SPF lip balms on the market, so this is a real treat.

Popular brand launches holiday-inspired perfumes and one is like 'sunshine in a bottle'
The inclusive fashion house has tried their hand at personal fragrance and we've got our hands on them Popular high street retailer Never Fully Dressed is best known for their stylish ensembles, but now, the growing brand has dipped it's toe into new territory with it's first foray into fragrance. It's a smart move, and a 'natural next step' for the retailer, seeing as we have to agree that no outfit is complete without a spritz of perfume. As such, Never Fully Dressed has released two stand out scents that come in both a wearable perfume and candle form. Both scents, named 001 and 002, have been inspired by the Balearic Islands, making them ideal picks for summer. Speaking on the launch, NFD founder Lucy Aylen said: 'Our community has always inspired how we create - and scent was the natural next step, we wanted to bottle up that feeling of empowerment, connection, and freedom you get on a European holiday. Whether it's morning espresso in the sun or dancing barefoot under the stars - these scents bring the story to life.' Shoppers 'stop using shower gel' thanks to new 'favourite' that 'smells better' Olivia Attwood's 'stunning' initial necklace that 'goes with everything' is on sale Naturally, our scent enthusiasts, perfume expert Jada Jones and former Boots fragrance counter employee Bethan Shufflebotham couldn't wait to try them out. For fans of Jazz Club and Tobacco Vanille, 001 is probably the way to go. It combines spices like saffron, cinnamon and black pepper with coffee, rum, sandalwood and oud for something perfect for cooler months. Meanwhile, those who prefer a fruitier fragrance that lends itself to sunny days, the raspberry-forward 002 could be the perfect alternative to scents like Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple or Mugler's Angel Nova. Jada tried 001 I was very nervous when I saw what notes were in this perfume as I typically avoid saffron, oud and tobacco in my own perfumes. Any nerves I had were quickly squashed as soon as I first sprayed it from the bottle. Although I definitely lean more to classically feminine fragrances and this one is undeniably unisex, there's a sultry vibe to it that makes it quite pleasant. I think it's on the heavier side for summer but can see this being a hit this autumn. It would be such a great date night scent and there's the added bonus that it smells a lot more expensive than it is. The bottle is also a stunning addition to any collection. I found it easily lasts six hours on my skin and didn't need topping up, it might have the potential to last longer although I've not noticed that yet. This would make a great gift and has the added benefit of leaning unisex so it's easy to share with loved ones. I'm curious to see where this range goes. Bethan tried 002 I can't talk about this perfume without first mentioning the absolutely gorgeous bottle. It comes in an amber vessel with a pink marble effect lid, which I think I could repurpose as a little candlestick holder when I'm through with the scent. It looks stunning on display on a dressing table, which means I find myself reaching for it more frequently than the bottles I have stashed in a drawer, too, so I've no doubt I'll get through this fast. If the packaging wasn't joyful enough, then comes the fragrance itself, which really is like sunshine in a bottle. It's not your classic Sol de Janeiro kind of holiday scent, but really offers up something a little bit different and unique. When you first spray it, you get a fresh, juicy hit of raspberry with a little spicy kick from pink pepper - it's bright and uplifting so you feel instantly awake and the juxtaposition between the two notes is lovely. After a few minutes, it softens into a mix of fresh greens and florals thanks to the jasmine and cedar leaf. It's still light, but feels a bit more grown-up and polished. Then as it dries down, the scent turns warmer and more addictive, with vanilla, amber and patchouli. While the fragrance is distinctly a day-time scent, it's these final notes which make it great for layering for an evening vibe. It costs £69 for the 100ml, however, those looking just to try it out can get the 10ml for £19 - ideal for travelling - however, you don't then get the benefit of the beautiful bottle.

Boots bring back popular beauty advent calendar with No7, Liz Earle and more
The Macmillan 24 Doors Of Joy Beauty Advent Calendar is back for 2025, and it's already proving popular with shoppers. Here's everything you need to know about the calendar It may feel criminal to talk about Christmas after this week's heatwave, however, several retailers have begun launching their 2025 Christmas countdowns, and beauty fans know the best ones sell out quickly. Boots has officially joined the 2025 festive countdown with the launch of its Macmillan 24 Doors Of Joy Beauty Advent Calendar, with shoppers already adding it to their baskets. Year after year, the charity-backed advent calendar earns a loyal following thanks to its variety of products, brands and feel-good factor. Priced at £90, we've estimated the value of the calendar to be over £140 - though the exact contents can't be calculated due to some being travel-sized. Inside shoppers can find 24 beauty treats from beloved brands like Liz Earle, No7, Soap and Glory and Champneys. Even better, £2 from every sale goes directly to Macmillan Cancer Support, helping provide vital information and comfort to those living with cancer. 'I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake and this 99p low-calorie drink converted me' Harrods beauty advent calendar returns after fragrance one sold out in 48 hours Starring a mix of cult-classics and pampering must-haves, it's not hard to see why this calendar sells out each year. Some of the most valuable products come from the No7 collection, including travel-friendly versions of their Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Day and Night Creams, as well as a full sized mascara and brow pencil. No7 does usually release their own beauty advent calendars, but details are yet to be released on that front. However, both Soap & Glory and Liz Earle calendars are available to buy now. The Liz Earle's 24 Days of Liz Earle Advent Calendar gives customers a chance to sample the brand's various collections, from Superskin to the brand's cult-classic cleansers to luxurious creams and aromatic body care, it's a skincare lover's dream. Priced at £175, it's estimated to be worth £505.10, saving shoppers £330.10 on the contents. Packed with 24 days of beauty and bath-time indulgence, the Soap and Glory calendar retails at £48, with a claimed value of £92. Inside, shoppers can expect a mix of signature favourites, pampering minis, and seasonal exclusives spanning bodycare, skincare and fragrance. Here's everything that shoppers can find inside the Macmillan beauty calendar: Boots Ingredients Caffeine Eye Cream 15ml Botanics All Bright Vitamin C Glow Sheet Mask 23g Champneys Spa Rituals Foot Socks- 1 pair Liz Earle Pure Cotton Cloth Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 30ml Champneys Slumber Hand Cream 50ml Soap & Glory Original Pink Fragrance Roller Ball 10ml Soap & Glory Magnificoco™ Body Butter 50ml Liz Earle Instant Boost™ Skin Tonic 50ml No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Serum 5ml No7 Pro Artist 12 Hour Artist Pencil Brown 12g Soap & Glory Original Pink Fragrance Spritz Body Mist 50ml Soap & Glory Magnificoco Body Butter 50ml No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Night Cream 25ml Soap & Glory Pout About It Hydrogel Lip Mask 25g Botanics All Bright Smoothing Face Scrub With Natural AHAs 75ml No7 Intense Volume Mascara 7ml Boots Ingredients Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser 30ml No7 Protect & Perfect Lip Care 10ml Champneys Slumber Epsom Bath Salts 100g Boots Eyelash Curler Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion 50ml - No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Day Cream SPF 15 + 5*UVA It's worth noting that while this calendar offers a great variety of products that are ideal for taking on holiday or giving as stocking fillers, it doesn't boast the same savings as some other calendars. The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar often sells out quickly, and for 2025 boasts a value of more than £1,100, featuring 20 full sized products and 16 of this year's hottest launches. It typically retails for £250. However, for those looking to add a little bit of luxury to their festive season, the Macmillan calendar is still a solid choice and offers a gorgeous selection of pamper products. It's available at
