Boots launches £40 beauty box with The Ordinary and Caudalie saving shoppers £130

Boots has launched two brand new beauty and grooming boxes that offer combined savings of over £230. The retailer has a history of selling out their hauls in a matter of days, and the latest edits are set to be no exception.

Perfect for the upcoming summer weeks or to stash away for Christmas presents, there's an edit to cater to all shoppers. First, The Beauty Drop edit is perfect for skincare and makeup lovers, while the Boots x Men’s Health box is ideal for gentlemen who enjoy taking care of their appearance.

The Beauty Drop Beauty Box is priced at £40 but boasts a value of £178.40, offering a saving of £138.40 on the RRP. Inside, customers will discover a range of essential beauty products, spanning skincare, haircare, fragrance, and makeup.

There are nine products in total, averaging out at £4.44 per product, making the deal even more enticing than Boots' famed £10 Tuesday event. Some of the brands showcased in the haul include the likes of Caudalie, OPI, Floral Street and more.

Exclusively available on the Boots website, it contains a variety of items from cleanser and serum to conditioner, nail polish, and fragrance. Packaged in a vibrant pink and yellow striped gift box, it's the ideal gift for any beauty aficionado in your life.

The Caudalie Beauty Elixir alone is worth nearly the cost of the entire nine-piece set at £36. The 'radiance-revealing' facial mist aims to minimise pores and bestow a radiant glow while setting makeup using natural ingredients that soothe and hydrate the skin, reports Wales Online.

Leanna Feryn, Boots Beauty Specialist, said: “I love how varied this box is. For skincare, The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid Serum is an absolute essential; it delivers deep, lasting hydration and is a staple in any routine. For makeup lovers, the ICONIC London Kissed by the Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glow adds a radiant flush with a skin-like finish that flatters every complexion.

“And for daily protection with a brightening boost, Hello Sunday’s The One That’s a Serum SPF 50 is a must-have—it combines powerful Vitamin C with broad-spectrum sun defence, making it a multitasking gem for luminous, safeguarded skin. This beauty box is such a great deal and a brilliant way to discover some new favourites or stock up on beloved essentials without breaking the bank."

Here are the items inside the Beauty Drop Beauty Box:

• Caudalie Beauty Elixir 100ml – FULL SIZE.

• OPI Infinite Shine Longwear Gel-Like Nail Polish - Last Glam Standing 15ml – FULL SIZE.

• Iconic London Kissed by the Sun Multi-Use Cheek Glow So Cheeky – FULL SIZE.

• FUL Colour Care Conditioner 250ml – FULL SIZE.

• Q+A Salicylic Acid Smoothing Lotion – FULL SIZE.

• Hello Sunday SPF50 Serum 30ml – FULL SIZE.

• The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 15ml.

• Floral Street Sweet Almond Blossom Perfume 10ml.

• First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Facial Cleanser 28.3g.

Six out of the nine items in the collection are full sizes. However, it's worth noting that the First Aid Beauty cleanser included in the box is 28.3g, not 30ml as stated on the back of pack information. Boots has confirmed that the back of pack information is incorrect.

Boots isn't the only shop offering beauty boxes that offer more than their price suggests. The OK! Beauty Box is packed with 11 products, 10 of which are full size – including a popular Medik8 serum. Despite the total value being over £210, the box usually sells for £59.99.

Meanwhile, LookFantastic is tempting skincare enthusiasts with The Skin Renewal Edit, valued at over £210, but priced at £45, perfect for those who prefer an anti-ageing focus - something the Love Island box doesn't offer, likely due to its younger target audience. The LookFantastic edit includes seven anti-ageing essentials like Dr Loretta's Intense Replenishing Serum, Clinique's De-Puffing Eye Massage, and Medik8's Crystal Retinal.

Boots hasn't overlooked the men this month, either, with a Boots X Men's Health Grooming Edit filled with top-notch skincare and grooming essentials designed to 'elevate your routine'. This box is slightly cheaper at £38, but is worth £138.21, so you're still saving over £100.

Inside, shoppers can find daily essentials and rejuvenating skincare heroes from brands like Elemis, Bulldog and The Ordinary, plus nourishing haircare staples from Johnny Chop Shop and Dapper Dan. There's a whopping 14 products in this box, 10 of which are full sized, which can be gifted as one big set, or divided into stocking fillers to save on festive treats.

The box contains:.

• Bulldog Anytime Daily SPF 30 Moisturiser 75ml – FULL SIZE.

• Estrid Face Razor Lagoon – FULL SIZE.

• Dapper Dan Signature Style Styling Powder 20g – FULL SIZE.

• Fussy Refillable Natural Deodorant (Wilderness) 40g – FULL SIZE.

• No7 Energising Face Scrub 150ml – FULL SIZE.

• Johnny Chop Shop Volume and Texture Powder Matt Finish 20g – FULL SIZE.

• Dr Squatch Natural Soap Bar Wood Barrel Bourboun 141.7g – FULL SIZE.

• Barber Pro Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask 23ml – FULL SIZE.

• Philip Kingsley Flaky/Itchy Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 250ml – FULL SIZE.

• Rock Face Original Body Spray 200ml – FULL SIZE.

• Rituals Homme Cedar wood + Vit-E complex Foaming Shower Gel 50ml.

• Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash 15ml.

• The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 30ml.

• Versace Eros Energy Eau de Parfum 5ml.

And, anyone who buys the edit can enjoy a free 12-month digital subscription to the Men's Health magazine. Of course, their downside to these kinds of curated edits is that shoppers may not appreciate every single item in the haul, however, the value does often outweigh the one or two products that may not fit the bill.

In other beauty edit news, advent calendars have started to hit the shelves, with the likes of Harrods, Soap and Glory and Liz Earle all having released their Christmas countdowns. But if it's the Boots beauty and grooming edits that have taken your fancy, they're available on Boots.com now.
