£25 beauty box with 'Elemis-like' balm, items £2.77 each

Give Me Cosmetics has reduced the price of its limited-edition birthday box to mark its ninth anniversary, cutting the bundle from £94 to £25, making each of the nine products cost less than £3. The box includes a cleansing balm that shoppers have compared to Elemis, praising it for leaving skin 'soft and glowy'.

Shoppers praise cleansing balm

One shopper said: "I've used this cleansing balm for a long time... it removes all makeup, and when used with the cleansing pad it leaves your skin feeling soft and glowy", calling the Green Tea and Vitamin E Cleansing Balm their 'favourite'. Another described the balm as gentle: "This balm is great, so soft and gentle, removing all makeup, even mascara. And a little goes a long way, will definitely buy this again."

The box contains nine products, so each effectively works out at £2.77 each. Alongside the cleansing balm, it includes a Peach Punch Body Scrub, Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Shampoo and Conditioner, a Flexy Paddle Brush, and a hair mask previously praised by actress Michelle Keegan, as reported by The Manchester Evening News.

Hair mask and other items

Michelle has previously praised the Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Hair Mask in an Instagram Ad, and shoppers have highlighted how it helps 'transform their hair'. One shopper said: "My grey hair was dry & brittle, this has transformed my hair", while another looking to repair dye damage said: "It lasts me the month, and my hair feels and looks amazing. I damaged my hair quite badly through bleach, but this product I highly recommend to everyone I know." The mask is described as suitable for thick dry hair, so it may not be as appropriate for finer hair types.

The box also includes the Peach Punch Sea Salt Body scrub, the Ultimate Face Fix Mask, and a Priming Moisturising Day Cream, which works best for those with oily skin. Vitamin C Eye Gel Patches are included to help 'tired eyes', containing Caffeine, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid. One shopper called them their 'new addiction', saying: "These gel patches remove dull and dark under eyes and definitely have firmed up my skin, removing crows' feet."

Other beauty deals

For other options, the Cult Beauty Scalp to Sole Edit, worth more than £130, is now £33.75 and includes the hydrating Bioeffect mask, with Paula's Choice, Grown Alchemist and Sol De Janeiro products also included. The LookFantastic Iconic Beauty Edit includes the Medik8 Advanced Night Restore, which alone costs £60, but the entire box with seven products is £65, despite being worth more than £200.

Overall, shoppers appreciate the value of the Give Me Cosmetics box, with one saying: "So happy Give Me launched a box with all the best bits in. I’m obsessed with the hair mask and cleansing balm and have been for so long. Gorgeous little box."
