Beauty enthusiasts are flocking to Cult Beauty to grab the retailer's latest money-saving skincare box, which offers savings of over £165 on premium brands. The First Class Edit, designed for travelers and holidaymakers, is priced at £45 but boasts a value exceeding £210.
This limited-edition set brings together luxury skincare favorites from some of the most sought-after brands, including Medik8, Augustinus Bader, Sunday Riley, Elemis, and Supergoop. Tailored for travel, the edit features products aimed at keeping skin hydrated, protected, and glowing, whether heading on vacation or upgrading a summer skincare routine.
The standout product is the full-size Medik8 Liquid Peptides serum, which typically retails for around £59 on its own—already exceeding the entire cost of the edit. This cult-favorite serum contains 10 different peptides designed to smooth fine lines, improve skin firmness, and boost hydration. It is one of Medik8's most popular products and offers an excellent opportunity for those curious about the brand to try it without the full price commitment.
Alongside Medik8, the edit includes several premium skincare names rarely bundled together. The deluxe-size Sunday Riley C.E.O. Brightening Serum is packed with vitamin C to enhance radiance and combat dullness, while Augustinus Bader's The Cream allows shoppers to sample the Victoria Beckham-loved brand without spending upwards of £70 on a full-size bottle.
The kit also contains a full-size 111SKIN Black Diamond Face Mask, ideal for a pre-event skin boost or post-flight pampering, and Supergoop's Glowscreen SPF 30, which serves as both sun protection and a glowy makeup primer—a stellar addition to summer routines. Rounding out the set are Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Pads for convenient exfoliation on the go and Lanolips Raspberry Shortcake 101 Ointment Multi-Balm for nourishing lips and dry patches.
While the value is undeniably impressive—each item works out to approximately £6.43—there are considerations. The edit is heavily skincare-focused, so those seeking makeup, fragrance, or haircare may find the selection limited. Additionally, some products, particularly from Augustinus Bader and 111SKIN, carry premium price tags, which could be costly to repurchase once the minis run out.
Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer offers an 81% saving with its Summer Beauty Bag. Priced at £40, the reusable cosmetics bag contains 11 makeup, skincare, hair, and body products valued at £230, including brands like Estee Lauder, Floral Street, Colourwow, and Clinique. Alternatively, Space NK's The Party Edit costs £65 and is valued at over £150, featuring seven bestselling products from Color Wow, Laura Mercier, Vieve, and others.
Here is everything inside The First Class Edit:
- Sunday Riley C.E.O. Brightening Serum (8ml)
- Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Pads (14 pack)
- Medik8 Liquid Peptides (30ml full size)
- Augustinus Bader The Cream (7ml)
- 111SKIN Black Diamond Face Mask (full size)
- Lanolips 101 Ointment Multi-Balm Raspberry Shortcake (3g)
- Supergoop Glowscreen SPF 30 (50ml full size)
As a new launch, the edit has few reviews, but one shopper commented: 'Finally a good edit worth every penny! Ranging from toning to sunscreen. The peptide serum itself is well justified; this edit cannot be missed.'
For skincare lovers, this is one of the strongest beauty edits seen in recent months. The £45 price tag paired with big names like Medik8, Sunday Riley, Augustinus Bader, and Supergoop is impressive, so this haul is unlikely to stay in stock for long.
