Shoppers can save over €110 on big brands like Bare By Vogue in Next beauty deal
For those seeking to elevate their summer beauty routine without breaking the bank, Next has unveiled a cost-saving beauty edit that might be just what you're after. The Summer Luxe Edit Beauty Box was launched this month, offering shoppers savings of over €110 on renowned brands. Retailing at €68, the beauty box boasts an impressive value of over €180, saving more than 60% on the RRP. The box is brimming with eight standout products designed to maintain radiant skin and sleek hair throughout the summer. Shoppers can anticipate finding high-end names like Philip Kingsley, This Works, Rituals and Bare By Vogue - Vogue Williams' tanning brand. From radiance-enhancing skincare to festival-ready makeup, it's a curated selection that addresses every facet of your summer beauty routine from face, body, and beyond. One of the products, the This Works Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum, is worth nearly as much as the price shoppers pay for the entire set, typically costing €44. The serum is enriched with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to help plump tired, dehydrated skin and leave it noticeably brighter.

The cult-favourite pre-shampoo treatment has a delightful summer fragrance and is perfect for rejuvenating dry or sun-damaged hair, reports the Mirror. While this box provides outstanding value overall, some individuals may not appreciate every single item in the edit. For instance, the medium tan might be too dark or not dark enough for certain skin tones, while the Bath and Body Works At the Beach Fine Fragrance Body Mist may not suit everyone's personal preference. The Summer Luxe Edit Beauty Box showcases the best of the retailer's beauty hall, with each item costing just £5. Shoppers can either keep the haul for themselves or, with Christmas now less than six months away, it could be perfect for stashing away as a gift or stocking fillers. Here's what's inside the Summer Luxe Edit Beauty Box: Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Therapies Peach and Honey 75ml (worth €28). This Works Morning Expert Hyaluronic Serum 30ml (worth €44). P20 Sensitive Body SPF50+ 20ml. ICONIC London Warm Lights Baked Eyeshadow Palette (worth €28). Rituals Karma Mini Scrub 125g (worth €18.90). Margaret Dabbs London Firming Leg Serum 100ml (worth €40).

The neck serum just what I needed! The Molten Brown smells amazing and the cleanser and moisturizer are amazing wow can't wait for the next box!" A third customer shared: "This has been my favourite box so far. The pouch is a bonus too! Love having little bits to try." However, some customers expressed disappointment over the repetition of products from previous boxes. One person noted: "Sadly, a lot of these products are repeats from previous months, so I've already got them. The bag was a lovely touch though." Yet another reviewer wrote: "This has got to be my favourite box yet. Lots of lovely products and the moisturiser is a dream." You can sign up for the LOOKFANTASTIC box here.

'I spent years battling flat hair, but this £26 volumising haircare range saved me'
Our shopping writer tried out Philip Kingsley's Body Building collection, and the results were amazing For years, I've been grappling with flat, lifeless hair, regardless of the number of styling products I used, my freshly volumised look would inevitably collapse within 30 minutes. I'd essentially resigned myself to the fact that unless I was off to a hairdresser, my aspirations for full, bouncy hair were doomed. That changed when I discovered Philip Kingsley's Body Building collection. I'd heard positive reviews, but after consistently using the products for a few weeks, they genuinely transformed my tresses. As a result my hair feels fuller, glossier, and healthier. The great news is that the Body Building set, which includes travel sizes of shampoo, conditioner, root-boosting spray, and plumping cream, is currently discounted to £26 from £55 via Philip Kingsley's website. It's an ideal opportunity to sample the range without committing to the full-size price tag, particularly for those wary about splashing out on products that might not work for them. Additionally, a broader selection of Philip Kingsley products are also marked down. This includes the full-sized Body Building Shampoo and Conditioner (£49.28 from £56), making it a good time to try the range or replenish favourites. Naturally, Philip Kingsley isn't the only brand offering volumising solutions. Living Proof's Full Shampoo and Conditioner (£52, Cult Beauty) are cult favourites for a reason, promising weightless volume and softness without build-up, reports the Liverpool Echo. Alternatively, Color Wow's Raise the Root Spray (£21.50, Look Fantastic) is another top-seller, providing serious lift without leaving hair feeling sticky or rigid. Plus, it's a hit among celebrity stylists (Kim Kardashian's hairdresser is reportedly a fan). Returning to Philip Kingsley, the first thing that struck me was its sleek packaging and scent. It has the look of a product you'd find in a high-end salon, and the products have a fresh, clean fragrance that isn't too strong. The shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling soft and nourished, but it wasn't until I used the Root Boosting Spray and Strand Boosting Cream that I saw a real transformation. The spray gave my roots a lightweight lift that lasted, with no stiff or crunchy texture - just natural bounce. While the plumping cream took some getting used to (use sparingly unless you want sticky strands), it made styling considerably easier. My usual hot brush routine actually maintained its shape for hours, which is a first for me. After two weeks of consistent use, I compared some older photos and was genuinely taken aback by the difference. My hair appeared shinier, fuller and healthier (see feature image). While the full-size products are somewhat of an investment (the 250ml shampoo sells for £28), the results make it worthwhile.
