Beauty buffs find way to get Elemis, Laneige and Sol de Janeiro for £5
Rivalling the likes of Boots and Glossybox, ASOS' latest beauty box includes eight products from the likes of Elemis, Laneige, Sunday Riley, Sol de Janeiro and Elizabeth Arden
Beauty buffs set to jet off to sunnier climes this summer will no doubt already be thinking about what products they'll be taking away with them. With limited space in suitcases and hand luggage, every product must be carefully considered to make the cut.
To help take the stress out of packing, a number of popular high street retailers have released travel edits, with fashion favourite ASOS being the latest to throw their hat into the ring with 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.
Designed to melt away makeup and impurities, the haul contains a 20g tub of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm. It's the same iconic formula as the original, but with a delicious cherry scent in a tub that's the perfect size for a week away.
Countless times the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist has been hailed as a 'holiday in a bottle' scent. With notes of pistachio, almond, vanilla and salted caramel, this mini mist will not only be the ideal fragrance for a getaway, but will mean beauty lovers can leave their more expensive scents at home.
The Patchology Skin Remedy Soothing Eye Gels are a must for those catching a plane this summer. Pop them on during the flight and arrive at the destination with de-puffed, brighter eyes.
Shoppers can also expect to find a LANEIGE Hydro UV Defense EX SPF 50, the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour HydraPlay Skin Perfecting Daily Moisturizer, Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment. Philip Kingsley Swimcap Water-Resistant Mask and The Ritual of Karma Lotus Flower & White Tea Body Scrub.
The set rivals the Boots Get Holiday Ready Bag, which is filled with glow-enhancing favourites, hydrating heroes, and mood-boosting fragrance. Valued at £124.50, the seven-piece edit is priced at £32, which means each item averages out at £4.57- making it slightly better value than ASOS, but with fewer products inside. Brands featured include Sol de Janeiro and Laneige - like ASOS' - but also Milk, Bobbi Brown, MAC and more.
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.
Among the goodies inside Glossybox's travel kit is the e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer Mini, a Morphe M2 Quad Goals in Hibiscus Twist, worth £16, and a Rodial Dragons Blood Sculpting Gel, worth £27.
Both of these sets have earned some glowing five star reviews from shoppers, however, ASOS' set is so new it's yet to generate any ratings from customers. This could potentially put off shoppers who prefer to read comments from others before making a purchase. Another potential downside is that beauty fans may not like every single product in the edit, which is why it's always worth double checking the contents.
Here's what's inside the ASOS Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box:
In other news, LookFantastic is offering the Summer Heroes Edit for £45, which, considering it's valued at over £150, means a stunning saving of £105 for buyers. The exclusive bundle includes six beauty gems, including four full-sized items from high-end brands such as Sol de Janeiro and ESPA.
Space NK also has an exciting haul, inspired by the viral TikTok trend, 'the everything shower'. The luxury edit of bath, body, and haircare costs £70 and is worth £165, boasting names like Sol de Janeiro, Living Proof and Alpha-H.

Shoppers can enjoy free £100 Elemis gift with luxury hotel spa day deal
Macdonald Hotels and Resorts has launched a new summer spa day experience at 16 of its spa locations across the UK, which includes a 55-minute ELEMIS 'Couture Touch' Spa Treatment For those seeking a spa retreat that won't empty the wallet, a luxurious staycation could be just what the doctor ordered. With Macdonald Hotels and Resorts, individuals in need of some self-care can indulge in an opulent spa stay for less this summer. The company's new Timeless Summer Spa Day is on offer at 16 of its spa locations across the UK, making it possible to venture far or stay local for that much-needed relaxing break. Imagine a delightful hotel tucked away in the most picturesque corners of the UK, brimming with everything required to disconnect, unwind, and recharge from hectic lives filled with work, family, and the everyday pressures of modern life. This day of pampering includes a lavish 55-minute ELEMIS 'Couture Touch' Spa Treatment, which pairs a custom facial with a deep-tissue massage. A comprehensive skin consultation is also part of the package, along with expert skincare advice to help maintain that post-spa glow. The spa experience doesn't have to conclude when the day ends, as the special gift of the ELEMIS Refine and Rebalance Kit in a chic wash bag, valued at £101, allows the rejuvenation and relaxation to carry on at home. The gift bag contains the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30, ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash and Facial Pads, and ELEMIS Ultra Smart Pro-Collagen Complex Serum, all neatly packed in a lovely wash bag that guests can use over and over again. As previously noted, all 16 spa locations under the Macdonald Hotels and Resorts banner are offering this experience. Among these is the Bath Spa Hotel in Bath, a stunning historic site nestled in a tranquil corner of Bath, complete with landscaped gardens and 2AA Rosette dining, where visitors can immerse themselves in the ambiance of this Roman spa town, reports the Mirror. For those seeking a retreat into the wilderness, the Forest Hills resort in Scotland's Trossachs National Park is an excellent choice. Encircled by shimmering lochs, majestic mountains and breathtaking landscapes, it provides the perfect setting to escape from the everyday and savour the natural beauty of Scotland. While there's an array of other locations to select from, Macdonald Hotels and Resorts isn't the sole provider of spa services. For instance, Center Parcs offers its Aqua Sana Forest Spas, delivering nature-inspired spa experiences amidst forest surroundings. Guests have the option to visit for the day to utilise the spa amenities, or extend their stay to an overnight break encompassing two full days of luxurious relaxation. Additionally, Wowcher presents a host of spa day deals, such as this package for two at the 4* Cambridge Belfry Spa, inclusive of breakfast, dining credit, and health club access over a one- or two-night stay. However, Macdonald Hotels and Resorts boast numerous positive reviews on TripAdvisor. A guest at Bath Spa Hotel praised: "My massage was amazing... The spa facilities were great, as it was sunny we loved having lots of space in the outdoor lounge area. The pool temperature was hot. So nice." Another visitor remarked on their stay at the same hotel: "The hotel is beautiful and very well maintained, our rooms were bright, airy and very clean, the bed was also extremely comfy. The food was delicious and the staff throughout the hotel were so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel so welcome. They were all exceptional. You can walk into the city centre from the hotel as well which is a bonus." There were some mixed feelings as well, with one guest noting: "After getting changed we went to the pool areas which were clean but inside did lack seating for everyone but luckily it was a sunny day so we sat outside. Both pools were clean and lovely, heated outdoor pool was a nice touch." A Trossachs resort patron shared their experience: "The spa was great. The massage was really good, Caroline was kneading bread with my muscles, amazing. The room was excellent, the bed very comfy and the service was great too. I'll definitely come back if I have the chance."
