M&S beauty bag slashed to just £20

Whether you’re treating a beauty enthusiast for  Valentine’s Day or planning a big pamper session for yourself, Marks and Spencer is running a 20% sale across all its beauty offerings. One of our favourite deals is a gift bag packed with cult favourites from well-known brands, now available for just £20.

The Bath and Body gift set contains seven mini products from brands like Neom and L’Occitane. The gift bag was already a bargain at £25, but has now been discounted to £20. According to the retailer, it can save shoppers 32% compared to buying the seven products separately, and with the additional discount, the savings shoot up to 45.6%.

The gift set contains seven products, all packed in a reusable silver drawstring bag that adds an extra special touch. It’s the perfect treat for anyone in need of a head-to-toe pampering, as it includes everything from bath foam and body wash to hand cream and even a lip balm. 

The products inside come in mini sizes of 75ml or less, which makes them perfect for travelling or trying out new brands without committing to full-size products or the full price tag. And if you find a favourite, M&S says that inside the bag is also a voucher entitling you to £5 off any of the brands in your bag, when you spend it online at the retailer’s website.

The products inside the gift set are great for customising your routine. To help you unwind and relax, the gift set includes a 60ml bottle of Calm body wash from M&S’s Apothecary range, which is infused with relaxing lavender, sweet orange and ho wood essential oils.

The relaxing experience continues with a 50ml bottle of Neom’s Perfect Night’s Sleep Bath Foam. It’s scented with lavender, sweet basil and jasmine essential oils to help you relax, and is enriched with marshmallow and nourishing coconut oil, aloe and sweet almond oil.

There is also a 50ml Smoothing Body Wash from This Works, which is formulated with fruit-derived acids that aim to gently exfoliate skin, targeting texture and uneven tone.

One of the highlights in the bundle is a 75ml Almond Shower Oil from French brand L’Occitane, which is a cult favourite among beauty enthusiasts. It starts off as an oil but emulsifies into a milky texture in contact with water, 

Another popular French pharmacy product included is a 10ml bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Florale Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, which can be used on the face, body and hair.

Finally, not forgetting the hands and lips, there’s a 25ml Bloom and Blossom Hands Up Age-Defying hand cream and a tube of Dr. Paw Paw Original lip balm.

The gift set has only positive reviews, with M&S customers praising the selection of products and its value. One review said: “So indulgent and smells amazing. Great bag and a nice variety of products. Great gift or for a gift to yourself.”

Another shopper wrote: “I treated myself to this bag of mixed products. At this price, it would make a great gift. I know some of the products and look forward to trying the others. The bag will come in useful, and the smaller sizes are great for travelling.”

The travel sizes appealed to many, with another review saying: “Lovely set. Perfect gift, or if you were looking for travel-size products and a toiletry bag.”

Gave this as a gift for my friend. Nice to try lots of new products.

But, despite liking the contents, some shoppers were not fans of the gift bag itself, with one saying, “the bag and packaging are very cheap looking,” and another writing: “Really nice assortment of beauty treats. However, the bag they come with is terrible and doesn’t match the quality of the products.”
