The M&S Beauty Bag 2025 products ranked from best to worst
There's four full-sized goodies and seven travel-sized minis, which I have ranked, from best to worst - or really, my favourites to least favourites. It was a tricky task, as they were all pretty good.
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.

While a third enthused: "Nice colour, lightweight, ideal for rainy spring/summer days." However, the coat wasn't without its detractors, as one customer noted: "The colour was very pale and draining.

This Morning's Lisa Snowdon on the best shapewear to wear under occasionwear
If you're heading to a summer event, and are in need of some shapewear, Lisa Snowdon has just shared her favourites styles, plus a few clever tips and tricks We always trust Lisa Snowdon's advice when it comes to fashion, I mean let's face it, she always looks amazing. But we also trust her in what to wear underneath to make us feel our most confident self. And if you've got a summer wedding, or fancy occasion coming up and are in need of some shapewear help, Lisa has just saved the day with her latest This Morning segment on what shapewear is best for each concern. From multi-way bras designed specifically for those with bigger busts, to thigh sculpting shapewear designed for low back dresses, Lisa has selected the best of the best from brands including Curvy Kate, M&S, and Skims. The Multiway Bra Available for £33 here Lisa raved about Curvy Kate's Multiway Bra, which states you can get 100 different uses out of just one bra. And priced at £33, Lisa said that's 33p way if you try out all 100. And this is the perfect bra for those with bigger busts as it goes from a 32D up until a 40J. So how does this bra work? The innovative eyeletted fold over top edge of the cup means that the straps can be positioned anywhere, which is a lifesaver if you're heading to various events wearing dresses with all different cuts. Whether you want strapless, one-shoulder, low-back, this bra does it all while also offering the support that bigger chested women need underneath their occasionwear. Backless shapewear Stick on bra available for £24 here and hourglass thigh shaper for £54 here Backless dresses are a pretty big trend at the moment, but going braless or without shapewear simply isn't an option for most of us. However, Lisa's hack has saved the day. The hack involves wearing a stick on bra, like Marks & Spencer's Wired Stick On Strapless Winged Bra. This is then combined with Wacoal's clever Hourglass Thigh Shaper, which dips at the back meaning the fabric won't be seen when wearing your backless dress. Plus the shapewear skims all the lumps and bumps you don't want showing and helps create a gorgeaous silhouette. Halterneck hack Available for £62 here Of course, we can't have the shapewear conversation wihtout talking about Skims. Lisa raves about the Kim Kardashian-founded bra for its amazing shade range, which we definitely can't fault. And Skims multi-way bra is another that geniusly adapts to different dress styles. Durign the segment, Lisa effortless showed us how to adapt this handy bra from its classic straps to a halter-neck style, making it perfect for those wearing halterneck occasionwear outfits this summer. It is on the pricier side at £62, but shoppers have raved about its high quality and seamless finish. And the sizing starts from 32A up to 42G, so it works for those with smaller chests as well.
