The M&S beauty bag comes with 11 products
M&S Summer Beauty Bag, £40 (worth £240)
There’s 11 skincare, haircare, body and make-up favourites inside, all packaged in a stylish zip-up cosmetics bag.
M&S’ Summer Beauty Bag causes mass sell-outs every year, and we’re expecting the new release to follow suit.
One of the standouts is the Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Foam Cleanser, which is worth almost the entire cost of the set.
Retailing for £35, the full-size foaming cleanser doubles as a purifying mask.
The Estée Lauder cleanser has glowing reviews

It’s brought in glowing reviews online, with one shopper calling it “brilliant” for mature skin.

Color Wow featured in last years lineup, but this time shoppers will get two of the viral haircare products.
The brand’s Colour Security Shampoo (which I rated 9.5-out-of-10 in my best shampoos roundup) and the Dreaming Advanced Repair and Resurfacing Treatment are inside.
The stylish cosmetics bag is ideal for travelling

There’s also a full-size Hair by Sam McKnight Jattvibedaze Seat Spray (worth £28), which is perfect for creating beachy waves for summer.
It wouldn’t be a summer beauty box without sun protection, so M&S has thrown in an Ultra Jattvibe Photo Age Control Fluid, and Clinique’s popular Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion SPF50 (worth £37).

Marks & Spencer isn’t the only British retailer to drop a summer bundle in recent weeks.
Cult Beauty’s version comes with £185 worth of products for £42, including iconic favourites from Medik8 and Augustinus Bader.
The M&S summer bag would make the perfect gift for any beauty fan, but shoppers will need to be quick if they want it.
