The M&S Beauty Bag 2025 products ranked from best to worst
Top of the list is the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara. Who doesn't need a new black mascara for their holiday, or just to get through the summer? It's a great product and one I'd happily buy again.
The This Works Body Smoothing wash is another real treat, and I loved its scent of geranium and orange. Smoothed on before the shower, it's a shortcut to silky-soft skin and a great way to start the day.

@what's inside the M&S beauty bag for summer 2025? It's on sale now, with £210 worth of products for £35. ♬ Inspirational - neozilla
While sometimes the mini products in beauty bags and boxes can feel a bit sad, the mini Tangle Teaser is the perfect size for a handbag, and has already made its home in mine.
I loved the two new perfumes - both light and summery - and the Ren Evercalm Barrier Support Advanced SPF50 and Estee Lauder power creme are perfect for layering under holiday make-up.
The Arkive Good Habit Hybrid Oil, Dr PawPaw Original Balm and Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray are all good introductions to their brands, although probably wouldn't be products I'd necessarily choose - and that's the great thing about beauty bags and boxes - there's something for everyone.

Is it worth buying the M&S Beauty Bag 2025?
Yes, I'd say so. I wouldn't pay £210 for it, but I'd happily pay £35.
The only disappointment for me was the Bloom and Blossom body lotion - one of the biggest items by volume.
Sitting alongside the fabulous fragrances, it didn't smell summery. In fact, it didn't smell much of anything at all, and wasn't as softening as I'd hoped. Body lotions have to be really special to be worth the effort, and I'm not sure this one is.
Also, I did miss there being a Nuxe or L'Occitane treat, as those have been my favourites in previous bags and boxes, but it's always good to ring the changes.
The M&S Beauty Bag 2025 - what's inside?
This year, the brand has gone all out with a selection of cult classic buys - here's my pick, from best to worst:
Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara, 6ml This Works Perfect Body Smoothing Wash, 200ml Tangle Teezer Original Mini Paradise Green Brush M&S Discover Sweet Frangipani, 30ml Floral Street Electric Rhubarb Fragrance, 10ml Estee Lauder Revitalising Supreme+ Youth Power Crème, 15ml Ren Evercalm Barrier Support Advanced SPF50, 25ml Arkive The Good Habit Hybrid Oil, 50ml Dr PawPaw Original Balm, 10ml Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, 50ml Bloom & Blossom Mission Moisture Nourishing Body Cream, 200ml

It's perfect for anyone who wants to sample some new brands or stock up on minis for travel.
The Beauty Bag 2025 is on sale now but stocks are limited - so be quick.
Following its cyber attack last month, M&S paused online orders, but they have now started online orders again and stores are open.

Bangles Are the Accessory All The Cool Girls Can't Stop Wearing
It's no secret that accessories can make or break an outfit. Sometimes it doesn't matter whether you're in a crisp white tee or a full head-to-toe look, the right jewellery can instantly transform your style. And right now, there's one piece stealing the spotlight: bangles. The once-beloved 70s accessory is experiencing a full revival, perfectly aligned with fashion's current obsession with maximalism. This season, everything is louder, punchier, and bolder than ever, from the return of printed jeans (credit to Roberto Cavalli for leading the charge) to the rise of 'ugly shoes' like Vibram Five Fingers, Camper Kobarahs, and Givenchy's chunky Marshmallow slides. In this moment, minimal jewellery simply fades into the background; it's the statement pieces that take centre stage. Of course, bangles have never really been out of fashion, but if you need inspo for how to style yours now, turn to the 1970s, where arm candy was often stacked in multiples, jangling with every movement - a visual and audible celebration of more-is-more styling. That playful energy is exactly what's fuelling their comeback today. It helps that some of the world's most influential style setters are firmly on board. Dua Lipa stacked chunky resin bangles with her white bikini and shorts while on holiday, proving they work just as well ocean as they do in the city. Bella Hadid has been spotted layering them with bohemian prints and low-slung denim, channelling a laid back vibe. Influencers are following suit, showing off resin, enamel, and tortoiseshell styles in everything from streetwear edits to breezy vacation looks. ©@dualipa, @solelamalila, @6kenza, @cinziabayliszullo The best part? You don't need a designer budget to get involved. High street retailers are offering plenty of statement styles for under £20, making bangles one of the easiest and most affordable ways to elevate your look. We say this to say, bangles are the perfect way to tap into the maximalist mood of the season. Loud, fun, and unapologetically bold - they're the jewellery trend that refuses to be overlooked.

Whole Foods is launching the Anya Hindmarch Universal Bag for £12.99
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Designer shopping tote bags are all the craze, from Lulu Guinness shoppers available at Waitrose, the iconic Twiggy bags at M&S, and Anya Hindmarch. Thankfully Whole Foods Market is collaborating with Anya Hindmarch to bring back the sell-out Universal bag, which is a reusable shopper but more stylish than a bag for life (sorry, not sorry). The Universal Bag is now in its fourth year, which shows how much it is in demand – who would have thought? The smart design from fashion house Anya Hindmarch has been crafted from 100% recycled fabric, which is also recyclable, though it's intended for reuse. Crafted from 100% recycled materials, this rectangular tote bag is large enough to house your groceries, and double up as a work bag too. It features thick woven straps that are comfortable to wear over your shoulder and not give way under weighty contents. The body of the bag comes in a light brown, while the straps are a combination of brown, white and green. It also features Anya Hindmarch's signature eyes motif on the front. BUY IN STORE FOR £12.99 The 2025 tote bag maintains its iconic look, as it is a large tote design in a light brown body with brown, white and forest green handles, which are sturdy thanks to the durable fabric and tight weave. It also features Anya Hindmarch's wandering eyes motif on the front. The Anya Hindmarch shopper will be available to buy exclusively at London's Kings Road store from August 11, but it will also be available from all six UK Whole Foods Markets from August 18. The best part is the designer supermarket tote is super affordable at just £12.99. Yes, it's more expensive than your typical bag for life, but it is a lot less than designer tote bags from Anya Hindmarch that can fetch three figures. The bag is said to have a 10-year guarantee, so it is a worthy investment you will certainly get your cost per wear out of, even if you only use it for your weekly food shop, though it's large enough to double as your work bag to carry your laptop. More Trending If your bag is looking worn, it has a built-in freepost returns system so it can be fully recycled in the UK. Speaking about the initiative, Anya Hindmarch said: 'The Universal Bag project has saved over 330 tonnes of virgin plastic from landfill since launch in 2021. Plastic pollution remains a pressing issue but working together with major global food retailers shows how the solution needs to be collaborative.' So, what are you waiting for? It's time to get shopping for the bag, and your groceries too. Of course, should you not be able to get to a Whole Foods, we've picked out some gorgeous Anya Hindmarch bits that are utterly gorgeous! The Kikkoman Candle is the quirky gift you didn't know you needed. Designed with die-hard soy sauce fans in mind, it's a slick black jar that nods to the iconic bottle – logo and all. But it's not just about looks. The scent is surprisingly luxe, blending neroli, saffron, patchouli, amber and vanilla for a warm, umami-inspired vibe that's more bougie than bento box. Buy Now for £95 Anya Hindmarch's Small Loose Pocket is a stylish, personalised leather pouch – ideal for gifting. It can be customised with a message and used for everyday essentials. For something more sentimental, the Bespoke range offers handcrafted heirlooms featuring monograms, drawings, and messages embossed by expert artisans.

Joanie £99 jacket that shoppers rave 'fits really well' now £39 and comes in eight colours
Joanie shoppers have been hailing a jacket that 'fits really well' and it is now £60 cheaper. The Soft Tailored Blazer, in a gingham pattern, was £99 but is now as low as £39.60. There are eight colours available all together, with the gingham pattern being one of the cheapest in Joanie's clearance sale. But shoppers can get two gingham patterns - one blue (£39.60) and one brown (£99), or the geometric floral print (£59.40), daisy print (£59.40), pink floral print (£39.60), art nouveau print soft (£59.40) ornamental chinoiserie print (£99) or a simple black colour (£99). The item is made with organic cotton and natural fibres, described as comfortable, slightly stretchy fabric, making it a breathable but durable product to wear. The Soft Tailored Blazer comes in a classic blazer shape, with long sleeves and patch pockets. With its regular fit, Joanie recommends that you go for your usual size, with the sizes ranging from 8 to 26. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here. The description of the clothing reads: "Meet Richy, the blazer that totally means business. Crafted from a super-soft navy blue and white printed gingham organic cotton, this chic jacket features a classic blazer shape with long sleeves, patch pockets, and functional retro oversized buttons. Pair with the matching Pipette Shorts for effortless coordinated cool, or keep it casual and throw it over your favourite vintage T-shirt and jeans - job done." If you love Joanie then you'll like Boden, with the retailer also offering a clearance sale. Shoppers can buy the Knightsbridge Gingham Jacket for £199 from Boden, but is 15% off with a special code. But for something with a more simplistic style, you could buy the M&S Collection Slim Single Breasted Blazer for £49.50 at Marks and Spencer. Back at Joanie, the Soft Tailored Blazer in the gingham pattern has only received one review. With a rating of five out of five stars, the review reads: "Fits really well, true to size and lovely co-ord. Wore to an event and got so many compliments!" But the blazers in different patterns have also received reviews. The geometric floral print blazer has received two reviews. One customer said: "I bought both the blazer and trousers and feel great in them! Such an amazing suit!" While another had this to say: "This is the best piece of clothing I own. I feel so badass in this. Get it!" While one customer was not entirely satisfied with their purchase. One customer, who bought the black jacket, reviewed: "The quality of this jacket is not great for what you are paying. Went out of shape badly after hanging on a chair while I had lunch. "The pockets seem too far back which makes it difficult to put your hands in them and also looks a bit strange. The material feels cheap and when buttoned it doesn't sit very well. The lining of the jacket is very nice though." But the black jacket also received a positive review from another. They penned: "For years I been searching a jacket and at last I've found perfection. Beautiful lining, cut, and with the sleeves just the right length. Plus the fabric has a bit of stretch to make it very comfortable. I'm so pleased I'm tempted to get one of the patterned versions. Decisions, decisions!"
