£25 ASOS beauty box includes products from Charlotte Tilbury and Laura Mercier
For those starting Christmas shopping early, or wanting to treat themselves to some new makeup, a beauty box is a cheaper way to try new brands.
ASOS has launched a brand new batch of boxes, each containing a selection of products – whether it’s beauty, skincare, bath and body, fragrance or haircare.
Whenever these are released, they usually sell out pretty quickly, with ASOS shoppers keen to get more value with less spending.
The Gift of Makeup Box is often one of the most popular, and the newest edition has already been marked as ‘selling fast’.

The box is great for trying new brands, new products or topping up on beauty favourites, and you can see what you’re getting before you buy to decide whether it’s worth it for you.
There are seven products included, in a mixture of full sizes, deluxe sizes and minis, but as with most beauty boxes and advent calendars, the full-sized products are what make up most of the value.
Full contents include:
- Doll Beauty She Fine Lipliner – Dream On: 1.5g (full-sized)
- Kylie Cosmetics High Shine Lip Gloss – Koko K: 3.3ml (full-sized)
- Laura Mercier Rose Gold Deluxe Caviar Eyeshadow Stick: 0.5g
- Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Deluxe: 15ml
- Rimmel Thrill Seeker Mascara: 8ml (full-sized)
- Benefit 24 Brow Setter: 2ml
- Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer: 4ml
- Pixi Blush & Highlighter Duo Powder (full-sized)
One highlight of the box is the Kylie Cosmetics High Shine Lip Gloss, which is worth £17 and gives a radiant, glossy finish.
The Rimmel Thrill Seeker mascara is ideal for everyday use, and usually costs £10.99.
For those looking for value for money and products that are going to last, it is worth keeping in mind that although some of the brands are expensive, some of the sizes are very small – for example the Milk Makeup Primer, which is likely to only last a few uses.
To invest in more full-sized products, there are many different beauty advent calendars to choose from, and if you’re happy to spend a bit more, the Lookfantastic advent calendar is priced at £99, but worth over £565.
