Next’s £12 beauty box is filled with handbag essentials you’ll love

Bargain hunters, listen up. Next has just dropped 34 beauty boxes, each specially curated with useful items from big-name brands at budget-friendly prices. The boxes include a mix of make-up, skincare and haircare products and offer the perfect opportunity to try new items at a lot less than usual retail price.

Costing between £12 and £55, you’re spoilt for choice. However, the most popular box is currently the most affordable one called the Handbag Heroes Beauty Box.

Costing just £12, but with a contents value of £51, it’s home to five products from big-name brands such as L’Occitane, Benefit, Nudestix and more.

The box is filled with five handbag essentials, such as nourishing hand cream to soothe cracked skin, a pure silk scrunchie and hand-cleansing gel.

£12 at Next

First up, is a handbag sized L’Occitane Shea Hand Cream, which usually costs £9.50. This luxurious shea butter rich formula is soothing and softening on dry, cracked skin and is sure to come in handy in the winter months.

There’s also a travel-size Benefit They’re Real Mascara, which will help you achieve full and fluttering lashes on-the-go. The popular mascara usually retails for £15 alone, so there’s no denying the excellent value for money of this box.

Inside you’ll also find a full-size bottle of Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Cleansing Hand Gel (£4), which kills most common bacteria and includes essential oils, shea extract, vitamin E and aloe so that it keeps your hands clean and conditioned.

Another full-size item you’ll find in this beauty box is Nude Stix Copper Foil Magnetic Luminous Eye Colour, which is worth £22, almost twice as much as the entire box on its own. The multi-purpose pencil has a creamy, blendable formula that can be used as an eyeshadow, eyeliner or a highlighter and is bound to come in handy as we get closer to Christmas party season.

Last but not least, there’s also a Slip Pure Silk Skinny Scrunchie (£10). Let’s be honest, there’s nothing more annoying than being out and about only to discover you don’t have a hair tie or clip in your bag. Unlike normal hair ties, Slip’s are specially designed with silk to be anti-crease, so your hair doesn’t kink, and anti-breakage, so the hair tie is gentle and doesn’t tug, which can lead to breakage.
