Elemis £37 cream now under £6 in deal that saves £135 on SPF heroes
Packed with SPF heroes to protect face, hair and body, the limited-edition collection costs £40 and allows customers to explore a high-performance lineup of SPF essentials from top-tier brands, all while saving over 75% Daily sun protection is a non-negotiable skincare step - whatever the weather - helping to shield against premature ageing, pigmentation, and skin cancer. As warmer days approach and sun-soaked outings become more frequent, it's time to refresh your SPF routine. With the market overflowing with options, finding the right sunscreen that fits your skin type, lifestyle, and preferences can feel overwhelming. But popular online retailer, Cult Beauty, has done the hard work for us, and has launched The Set for Sun Edit, containing a range of SPF heroes to protect face, hair and body. The limited-edition collection costs £40 and allows customers to explore a high-performance lineup of SPF essentials from top-tier brands, all while saving over 75%. The contents are worth £175, and whether you're an SPF devotee or looking to upgrade your protection game, this edit offers the perfect opportunity to trial a range of innovative formulas before committing to full sizes. There's been a real appetite for this type of beauty box in recent months. Back in March, Boots launched their Boots SPF & Skincare Edit Beauty Box for £35, and it sold out in a matter of days. It was valued at £173.92, making very similar savings to the Cult Beauty haul, including brands like Sol de Janeiro, Rituals and Byoma. Also launched last week was The Summer Heroes Edit from LookFantastic. It costs more than Cult Beauty's at £45, but is said to be worth 'over £150', making the Cult Beauty option better value. The LookFantastic version contains six items, four of which are full sized and one of which is valued at £55 alone. As for the Cult Beauty beauty edit, there are seven products, of which four are full sized, working out at less than £6 each, plus a handy fan for keeping cool in the heat. The full-size Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 30 is one of the hero items, worth £36.50. The multitasking sunscreen-meets-primer delivers a dewy, lit-from-within glow thanks to hydrating hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich sea lavender. Many shoppers have purchased the edit solely for the Supergoop! Product, with one commenting: 'This edit is only slightly more expensive than the cost of buying the full size Glowscreen so it's a no-brainer to be able to try lots of other products too. It would have been nice to have seen a mineral SPF product included. I'm a bit wary that some of these products might irritate my sensitive face skin but I can always use them on my body. For me the Philip Kingsley hair product really sealed the deal as it provides a bit of variety and means there is some variation from the standard face SPF products.' Also in full size is Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Balm SPF 30, a handbag essential for top-ups on the go, as well as the Philip Kingsley Swimcap plus a mini of the ELEMIS' Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. This has long been a favourite among skincare enthusiasts and would usually set customers back £37. Here's everything inside the edit: Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 30 in 'Original' (full size; 50ml) Philip Kingsley Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask (full size; 100ml) ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (travel size; 15ml) Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Balm SPF 30 (full size; 16.5g) LANEIGE Hydro UV Defence EX SPF 50 (travel size; 20ml) The INKEY List Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF 30 (full size; 50ml) Ultrasun Face SPF 50+ (travel size; 25ml) Cult Beauty Fan Club Fan The edit has racked up 4.86 stars out of five on the Cult Beauty site. One commented: 'I love everything in this box, even the fan! I use SPF everyday so every product in the box is so useful to me especially as summers coming up too. Would be great as a gift as well.' Another loyal customer who gets the edit 'every year' said they were 'a bit disappointed', though. They added: 'Definitely not as good as usual! I mainly bought it for the supergoop. I did however really like the Laneige spf, a full size would have been great.' Another shopper commented: 'I love the supergoop sunscreen under foundation, it acts a bit like the saie glowy super gel. The glow recipe is great for on the go as you don't need to use your hands. The elemis sunscreen is a bit small but the box is still very much worth it!' 'This is just fabulous,' penned a fourth. 'Packed full to the brim of products that I haven't tried before! I can't wait to go on holiday now.'

Charlotte Tilbury launches 'first ever' gaming partnership with limited-edition beauty boxes
Beauty buffs are going wild for the launch of Charlotte Tilbury's latest collaboration as the MUA and cult classic British make-up brand drops two new beauty boxes in partnership with Genshin Impact. The new beauty boxes launched today (April 30) and consist of two different limited-edition hauls that not only include some of the Charlotte Tilbury skincare staples, but also some Genshin Impact-branded products. Announcing the partnership with the fantasy video game franchise, Charlotte Tilbury posted a video on Instagram days ago which teased the released and was captioned: "Darlings, I am beyond excited to reveal my first-ever gaming partnership – a spellbinding collaboration that unites the magic of makeup with the enchanting world of @genshinimpact!

"At Charlotte Tilbury Beauty, we are known for pushing boundaries and doing the unexpected – because the unexpected is where true innovation lies!

The brand continued: "So darlings, if you love beauty, love gaming, love Genshin Impact and love Mona, you are going to love this exclusive, limited-edition collection - perfectly packaged in 2 magic boxes!" Charlotte Tilbury joins the likes of Fenty Beauty - which collaborated with Arcane League of Legends - with its foray into the world of gaming. Elsewhere, Glossybox's Love & Glow Limited Edition beauty box contains a mix of makeup and skincare at £45 - but is valued at £150. For those heading off on holiday, Cult Beauty's The Set for Sun Edit is £40 but is worth £175 and features names like Laneige, Ultrasun, Elemis and more. While each new limited-edition Charlotte Tilbury kit contains the brand's famous Magic Cream, the remaining contents of each differs slightly, which is mirrored in the price. Costing £55, the first limited edition kit is called Starfell Treasure and contains seven goodies. Skincare treats include Charlotte's Magic Water Cream (15ml), the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray (34ml) and a sample size of the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir. Alongside skincare, fans of both the brand and the video game can get their hands on a Charlotte Tilbury X Genshin Impact Eye Mask, Charlotte Tilbury X Genshin Impact Compact Mirror, Charlotte Tilbury X Genshin Impact Small Pouch as well as Genshin Impact In-Game Rewards.

The remainder of the haul contains Charlotte Tilbury X Genshin Impact Stickers, a tote bag, a pin badge, headband and branded makeup bag. While the limited edition kits haven't received any reviews just yet - having only just launched today (April 30), fans of the make-up brand raced to the comments section of its Instagram page to share their excitement for the product. One person wrote: "The collaboration we didn't know we needed! This is amazing," while another shared: "The scream I let out when this announcement was made!! Started showing off my CT setting spray like its a family heirloom. This is truly a dream collab." A third said: "Excuse me what?! I need this right now." The only disappointment expressed by some make-up buffs was that it didn't ship to all countries, with some places like India, Brazil and more missing out.

Beauty buff tests Lookfantastic's Travel Edit with products worth £105 for £30
The Lookfantastic Travel Edit costs £30 and contains a whole host of holiday necessities - says beauty writer Eve Rowlands, who tried out the box to see if it was worth the money When going on holiday, one of the little stresses that can send us into a frenzy the night before is ensuring we have miniature versions of some of our favourite, or most necessary, shower bag inclusions. Thankfully, Lookfantastic has holiday-goers sorted with its Travel Edit, packed with staple products every trip needs in dainty sizes. Costing £30, the haul is worth more than £105 and contains some pretty epic beauty industry names like Philip Kingsley, La Roche Posay, Sol De Janeiro, Avene and more. This makes it a cheaper haul than Cult Beauty's £40 The Set for Sun Edit, which includes Elemis, Ultrasun, Laneige and more. For those who would rather stick to one brand, Caudalie's Summer Travel Edit costs £19 and contains four goodies. Promising to deliver everything one needs for a trip 'from hair-to-toe, to go sky-high', I got the Lookfantastic Travel Edit to see if it would be worth the money. Here's what I thought. With nine items inside the box and at £30, I do think that it's pretty good value as it means paying just over £3 for each product inside. This is pretty wild considering one of the items costs £36 alone - the Zelens 3T Complex Anti-Ageing Cream, which uses a blend of botanicals, herbal oils, and algae extracts to nourish and revive ageing looking skin. While I've not used it long enough to see results, it smells nice and feels lovely on my skin. What I've noticed is that the contents of the Travel Edit has the entire body covered with products that won't take up too much room in a bag. The Philip Kingsley shampoo and conditioner treats the hair, while the Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser, Perricone MD High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Serum, Biossance Amino Aloe Cleanser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Suncream SPF50+ and Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray will keep my skin in check from the plane to the sunshine to the sea. The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist smells divine, while the L'OCCITANE Almond Shower Oil, a personal favourite of mine, makes skin soft, which is lovely post-beach. While I loved essentially all items in the pack, I did have my favourites. The Biossance Amino Aloe Cleanser is lovely to use. Although it's simple and is worth £5, it's great for sensitive skin as it feels gentle and lathers up quickly, removing dirt and impurities without stripping skin of its moisture. Personally, I didn't notice any scent, so it's a good option for those who find fragranced cleansers irritating. The Perricone MD serum and Ole Henriksen moisturiser are a lovely duo to add into any beauty arsenal. While the size of these products may look relatively miniscule, a little goes a long way with both formulas. The serum feels silky smooth and left my cheeks with a little bounce, which was enhanced with the Ole Henriksen moisturiser. The moisturiser is quite thick, which means you only need a little bit to spread around the face. On first use, it gave my skin a lovely glow, so I can't wait to see the results after a few weeks of using it. This pairing would be great after being in the sun all day, as it can be used both morning and night and doesn't feel like it's clogging pores. As a firm fan of the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Suncream SPF50+ already, this is a staple in my bag whenever I'm in the sunshine. The formula is quite watery which is great to absorb into skin and doesn't leave a sticky residue, like many other suncreams do. It doesn't have much of a scent, which is refreshing, nor does it leave me with that annoying shine. One product I'm excited to try on my next holiday (I'm saving it), is the Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray. Marketed as an anti-bacterial spray, it's said to keep skin clean, cool and refreshed, which is a must when you go on a dehydrating plane. I can see it being great at the height of the day too when you need a little cool down. As someone who has relatively thick, curly hair that needs no help when it comes to volume, especially in the heat, I slick it back as best I can to keep the humidity at bay. The shampoo and conditioner set by Philip Kingsley is probably not best suited for me, especially seeing as it's described as being ideal for 'shorter, fine hair'. I'll probably pass this on to one of my friends or family members who would find it works better for them. Those who have used it love the results, with one person saying: "I've tried several hair products that claim to add volume and have been disappointed until using this duo! This builds body without weighing down hair and I've found it really makes my fine hair look thicker." However, for others, it has made their hair 'dry'. This is a good option to try out the hair products before splurging on the usual £54 full size set. I think an improvement that would make the box even better would be making the suncream, body oil and Avene spray a little larger. They'll easily run out in just a few uses as they're deluxe sizes. Most shoppers seemed fine with the sizes of the products, one person on Lookfantastic said: "This box is amazing and has everything you need for your holidays. I am going away shortly and this will see me through my holidays. Much cheaper than buying items individually and I get to try them before buying full size. Win-Win." Meanwhile, for one person, it wasn't varied enough as they wrote alongside a three-star rating: "Great Travel Sizes don't get me wrong, but the products are unlikely for Travel. Some SPF would have been great, maybe a mini make-up item and a bit more variety! Not the best but still very good value." However another hailed the Travel Edit as a 'box of perfect little summer goodies.'
