Boots has launched a new beauty box that gives shoppers more than £193 worth of free products. The retailer's New & Trending Beauty Box is priced at £55 but has a total value of £248.65, meaning shoppers could save £193.65 if they were to buy everything individually.
The set contains 18 products from some of the biggest names in skincare, haircare and makeup, with 11 of the 18 products being full-size. Each item averages at £3.05 as part of the offer. The box comes ready to gift, making it a standout choice for Christmas, or the contents can be divided up between multiple people as stocking fillers.
What's Inside the Beauty Box
The box features brands including VT Cosmetics, Anua and BYOMA, leaning into Korean and K-beauty inspired trends, alongside established names including Olaplex, Drunk Elephant and Too Faced. One of the most notable trends is PDRN, which appears in both the VT Cosmetics PDRN Capsule Cream 100 and the Anua PDRN Caffeine Rejuvenating Eye Cream. The ingredient has been one of the most talked about of 2026 for its ability to support surface skin health, hydration, and recovery.
Haircare brand Amika is also included with its Soulstruck Nourishing Leave In Dry Hair Mask, which is particularly good if the buyer's lengths are prone to dryness, frizz or damage. Olaplex's No.3 PLUS Complete Repair Treatment is a newer addition to the brand's collection, released in March, so it's a great opportunity to try it without paying full price.
Cosmetics and Considerations
In terms of cosmetics, the box includes The Beauty Crop Oui Cherie Watermelon Twist Setting Mist, designed to help makeup stay in place all day, a Glow For It Lash Focus Mascara in Black, and a Too Faced Cloud Crush Whipped Lip & Cheek Lip Colour in Hopeful Romantic.
As is often the case with boxes like this, not every single product will suit every shopper. Some may find that the colour cosmetics aren't to their preference, while some may find a skincare product doesn't suit their complexion type. Though 11 of the 18 products are full-sized, some samples are particularly small, like the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Face Moisturiser, 5ml, which isn't large enough to get a feel for. As such, the recommendation is to take a good look at the contents before buying.
Alternative Beauty Deals
Boots isn't the only retailer offering heavily discounted beauty edits. OK! Beauty Box is currently offering its Christmas Beauty Gift Edit, worth over £275, for £59.99. It contains 10 beauty treats, seven of which are full-sized, including brands such as Rodial, Gatineau and MUA. For a skincare-focused offering, the Debenhams The Gift Of Glow set is worth £144 but is priced at £35, featuring seven products, four of which are full-sized, including Prai, Pixi, Murad and more.
For the highest number of products for the least amount of money and still a significant overall value, the Boots beauty box suits anyone who likes keeping up with new launches and trying trending brands without spending a fortune on individual products. The Boots New & Trending Beauty Box costs £55 and is available from Boots.
