    A few items are not; the two lip balms for example, the nail polish, the lip gloss I'm not so sure of and the makeup bag, but yes, the rest will all be sample size- the value is £135, I'd estimate it at closer to £300 if it were all full size products!

    Value is a highly subjective thing, isn't it? M&S can put whatever 'value' they choose to on these items, no matter how inflated.

    It's difficult to see how these tiny items could possibly be 'worth' £135, except in some fantasy world.

    It was more the rrp value per ml or gram or whatever, when compared to full price of the same items, but yes, you have a point. I can't see anything in this for me worth spending £40 on things I don't really need just so I can spend another £15 on samples I've either already tried before or know wont work for me. Each to their own though, it'll most likely sell out again like previous offerings.
  • You have to spend £40 on clothing, home, beauty to get this fab box for £15. Well worth £15!
    If you are an M&S Sparks card holder & have the vouchers currently got a single use £15 off £75 spend, this also works! As the beauty box goes through the till at £135, then discounted! :j

    So you can pick up the box, and then use your voucher and it's free?? Wow- box for free sounds really cool actually- but I'm imagining I've misread something....
  • No you still have to spend £40 on clothing to get the discounted rate.:)

    As soon as I add the beauty box it removes my £15off voucher and won't allow me to use both together!

    I got one today and am very pleased.
    I had a 20% off beauty code on my sparks due to my birthday and this seems to have reduced it further so I think I only paid about £13.
    Many of the items are branded and the RRP is set for the size so the value is really good e.g. the Percy and Reed shine spray 75ml is £15 at John Lewis and the Origins 30ml moisturiser is £15 at Look Fantastic. This is just 2 out of 16 products that already total £30. I was also able to return some of the items I bought for the £40 spend and they did not ask for the box back!
