'I found a way to get 'fresh' £29 perfume for under £5 in Boots deal'
The high street retailer has just launched its latest beauty edit, and it's a good one. Filled with premium skincare, makeup and fragrance, the limited-edition bundle is perfect for summer Boots has a real knack for putting together covetable beauty edits, but its latest Get Holiday Ready Beauty Bag might be one of the strongest yet. Priced at £32, this limited-edition bundle boasts a value of £124.50, making it a tempting offer for anyone looking to elevate their summer skincare and makeup routine without the premium price tag. Inside, there are seven mini and travel-friendly products from high-end and cult-favourite brands, all zipped up in a chic, reusable pouch. Whether you're hopping on a plane or planning a local getaway, this kit is undeniably built for on-the-go ease. As for the products themselves, well, there's some seriously impressive picks to delight skincare, makeup and fragrance enthusiasts alike. The most valuable item in the edit is Floral Street's Sunflower Pop Eau de Parfum, which is usually £29 for 10ml - that's only £3 less than the price you pay for the whole box. And it actually works out at £4.57 when you divide the number of products you get by the price you pay. Perfect for summer, it's bright, citrusy, and a definite mood-booster in a bottle. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers, it features notes such as sweet mandarin and zesty bergamot, plum, musk and amber. It's not my usual vibe, however, I was pleasantly surprised by it's fresh scent and have found myself reaching for it on sunny days. The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist is another fragrance in the mix, a viral sensation that has legions of fans thanks to its warm, beachy notes. If you love gourmand scents, it's a summer staple. Both the Sol de Janeiro mist and Floral Street perfume are very different, so some shoppers may not like both, however they do seem to serve different moods - plus it's nice to have the option. Boots Minis Bag Get Holiday Ready £124.50 £32.00 Boots Buy here Product Description Laneige's Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser is another standout. This K-beauty favourite is ultra-hydrating but still lightweight, ideal for post-sun exposure or long travel days. It leaves the skin feeling plump without any residue, and the 20ml size is generous for a mini. As for makeup, the Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Werk is the ultimate travel companion. This multitasking cream stick can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips for a really easy, cohesive makeup look. It's perfectly pigmented, easy to apply, and gives that dewy, flushed look as though you're just back from the beach. I almost didn't recognise Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base without its iconic packaging, but truth be told, I actually like this squeezy applicator even more. This primer has earned cult status among beauty buffs and it's not hard to see why. I found it performed exceptionally well under makeup, helping everything stay fresh even after a full day out. The 15ml tube goes a long way, too - a little truly does the job. The MAC Stack Elevated Mascara Mini mascara is another great addition to the edit. It delivers impressive volume and lift, perfect for travel or topping up during a long day. My only critique is that the mini wand can feel a bit fiddly, especially for those used to a full-size applicator, but it's a fair trade for the travel convenience. Finally, there's the Rituals The Ritual Of Karma Shimmering Body Oil which gives a gorgeous glow to the skin. It's a great finishing touch for holiday evening looks, but I think it's got a relatively short window of use year-round as I'm unlikely to wear this on an average Wednesday afternoon, as I would some of the other products. That said, the edit is designed with holidays in mind, so one can't grumble too much. To help take the stress out of packing, a number of other popular high street retailers have also released travel edits, with fashion favourite ASOS offering their Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box. Coming in a handy travel pouch, the edit costs £40 and boasts £135 worth of products, saving £95 on the RRP. Inside, shoppers will find eight products from a range of top brands, including Elemis, Laneige, Sol de Janeiro and Elizabeth Arden. As part of the offer, each item works out at £5 apiece. Glossybox has released a brand-new Travel Beauty Kit Limited Edition - and it saves shoppers more than £120 on the contents. While the goodies inside this beauty haul are worth over £150, it can be snapped up for an impressive £30 by subscribers, or £40 by non-subscribers. Glossybox's travel kit features 12 skincare, makeup and haircare treats, five of which are full-sized. The Boots edit has received nothing but praise from shoppers, with five star reviews across the board. One wrote: 'Such a good selection of products - especially for taking away. The bag itself is also great quality. I was going to buy the cream blush and that was £22 on its own! Please bring out more edits as good as this one.' Another added: 'Great value, nice selection of items, especially liked the fragrance,' while a third wrote: 'Looking forward to using these lovely products on my holiday.' 'Absolutely love this little set,' said another. 'I wanted to try a few of these products for a while and when I saw this set for the price I instantly bought. 10/10. Bag is really spacious and will come in handy when I go on holiday.' And I have to agree with the masses, because this set really is packed with genuinely useful, luxe-feeling products that most people would be thrilled to take on holiday. The Milk, Laneige, and Floral Street products alone justify the purchase, but the entire lineup compliments each other nicely together. Shop the edit here.
