Marks and Spencer is selling a beauty gift bag with six skincare products for £30, saving shoppers 60% off the contents. The Skincare Gift Bag can currently be purchased from M&S online.
However, a TopCashback deal reduces the gift set from £30 down to just £12.50, making it cheaper than half-price. For new members of TopCashback and new customers of M&S, the beauty bag can be picked up for £12.50 after cashback. For new members of TopCashback and existing customers of M&S, it's £13.75 after cashback. The prices include free click and collect, and standard delivery is £3.99.
What's inside the M&S Skincare Gift Bag
M&S has filled the beauty bag with mini skincare essentials from much-loved brands, including Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream, the Emma Hardie Moringa Balm for gentle cleansing, and Weleda's award-winning Skin Food moisturiser. Customers can also expect to find Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel for lightweight hydration, the Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash, and Formula's Retinoid Serum that aims to tackle the early signs of ageing.
Nestled inside a metallic silver pouch, this gift set is a perfect way to try out some new skincare or make someone feel special. The gift bag also includes a £10 voucher for money off any of the brands inside.

What shoppers say
The M&S Skincare Gift Bag has received more than 100 five-star reviews from shoppers. One said: "Good quality products. I have noticed a difference, especially the face wash and eye cream."
A second customer added: "This bag of tricks is brilliant. I’ve ordered two now. The bag was an excellent size for sun cream’s storage down by the pool. I love the eye cream; however, all of the products are useful and of nice quality."
The Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream has racked up heaps of glowing comments on Boots' website. One person called it 'magic in a jar', before adding: "I love this eye gel and the way it helps smooth the fine lines I have started to get at the outer corners of my eyes. I also like the way it hydrates the skin and doesn't irritate my eyes at all."
Yet, not all skincare fans are impressed, with some deducting stars. One wrote: "I’ve been using other Estée Lauder products all my life, so I’m a big fan. This is the first time I’ve used this eye gel, and although it’s nice to use, I can’t see any discernible difference in my under eyes."
Someone else left a three-star review of the M&S Skincare Gift Bag. They commented: "Items were quite a bit smaller than expected, but maybe my expectations were too high. Having said that, it is a nice collection of products and good to try out before buying the full-size version."
