M&S Mother's Day Beauty Box

[Minx In Space]

.. free when you spend £30 on beauty (worth £80 apparently). Is currently showing as in stock, but seems to keep going in and out of stock. The site also allows you to check stock levels in your local store, though, which is handy. Was a really good one for me, as I love rose-scented things and pink is my favourite colour.

I went into my M&S today, grabbed the second to last beauty box off the shelf and then went around to find £30 worth of beauty products to qualify. I failed! They had a good offer on Rosie for Autograph perfume last week but it seems to have finished and there was nothing else that grabbed me, certainly not to make up £30. With some disappointment, I put the beauty box back on the shelf for someone else.

:sad:

Well done AndiK, you stopped yourself buying something you didn't need/want. I got sucked into a beauty box from M&S last year and bought a bag I really didn't need to qualify for the box. It was an expensive mistake!

Thanks, Ellaaa. And you have reminded me that I didn't need the items I bought in November to get my second M&S advent calendar either (and we had to pay for that set!). The current beauty box is rather nice but I couldn't justify stocking up on full price items I really don't need to get it. When I couldn't get the Rosie for Autograph perfume I might have been interested in, I tested another in the range on the back of my hand, thinking I might get that instead, but now it's dried down it smells disgusting. Today's lucky escape No.2!

I was not really impressed with the contents and IMHO not worth £80 ok as a freebie if you are buying beauty anyway but not an incentive for me.

I think I would have used everything but the £80 valuation does seem steep, yes.

Completely agree that it's not worth buying things you don't really want / need just to get the minimum spend gift. Last time I looked on M&S beauty there were lots of things I wanted, but this time I, too, thought I was going to have to leave the box as nothing was really grabbing me. Then I spotted an eye cream I had been planning to buy anyway (for £30 exactly!), so went with that. My box arrived today, and I am really pleased with it. Like I said, the contents of this particular box were perfect for me, which isn't always the case. I love anything rose, the nail varnish is a very pretty shade, the soap smells lovely, and I'd been wanting to try L'Occitane's new hand balm. :happy:
