What's Inside: The Highlights
- The Gift of Colour: mostly full sizes. You get the Sweed Lash Lift Mascara, Saie SuperSuede Baked Eyeshadow in Sorbetto, RMS Beauty Eyelights in Strobe and the Milk Makeup Balmade lip balm in Pump. A mini NARS Insatiable Liquid Blush in Orgasm Fantasy adds a flush of colour.
- The Luminous Skin: a radiance routine. It includes Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, a full-size Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, the Allies of Skin firming eye cream and Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum.
- The Scents of Wonder: nine scents, from gourmands like KAYALI Yum Boujee Marshmallow and NEST Cardamom Latte to the ambroxan-rich Escentric Molecules E02 Extrait. It's well suited to trying fragrance layering.
- The Body Rituals: a full-size Paula's Choice 2% BHA Body Spot Exfoliant, plus Sol de Janeiro, NUXE Huile Prodigieuse shimmer oil and Molton Brown body treats.
- The Forever Loved: proven favourites such as Charlotte Tilbury Exaggereyes Mascara, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer, MAC Lip Pencil in Chestnut and a 15ml The Rich Cream.
- The New Discoveries: the biggest box. It includes a full-size Olaplex No.3 Plus, Anua PDRN toner, Sunday Riley Tidal serum and BYOMA Bio-Collagen mask.
Which Edit Is Best for Whom?
- Makeup lovers: The Gift of Colour, which is almost entirely full sizes.
- Skincare devotees: The Luminous Skin. It costs the most but has the highest stated value.
- Fragrance fans: The Scents of Wonder, for trying samples before buying a full bottle.
- Self-care seekers: The Body Rituals. Use the BHA exfoliant before the NUXE oil for smoother, glowing skin.
- First-time buyers: The Forever Loved, for well-known products you can rely on.
- Trend-chasers: The New Discoveries, which also covers hair and body.
Tip: Deluxe and travel sizes are useful for testing a product on your own skin before buying the full size.
