ASOS rivals Boots with £20 beauty box that gets you free Charlotte Tilbury lipstick
Charlotte Tilbury fans can get their hands on a free Pillow Talk lipstick this week as part of a budget-friendly beauty deal at ASOS. The online retailer has launched a £20 beauty box to rival the likes of Boots and Elemis – and it’s perfect for brides-to-be.
The ASOS Here Comes The Bride Beauty Box has been designed with soon-to-be-weds who may be looking to do their own makeup for the big day, with a selection of premium products regularly used by MUAs for special occasions. However, you don’t necessarily need to be getting married to snap it up, as it’s perfect for anyone who adores a beauty bargain.
The haul contains six products from high end or popular affordable brands , including Huda Beauty, Benefit, Charlotte Tilbury and more. It’s said to be worth £55, but when we priced up the products individually, it looks as though the value is actually higher.
One of the most high-value items in the box is the Huda Beauty GloWish Micro Mini Eyeshadow Palette, which would usually set shoppers back £18. The eyeshadow palette contains four shades including matte and shimmer finishes in the same cream-to-powder formula as the larger Huda Beauty palettes. The palette is almost the same price as the box alone, which essentially renders the remaining items ‘free’.
As well as a Makeup Revolution Super dewy Liquid Blush, Benefit Mini 24 – HR Brow Setter, a sample of Elie Saab Le Parfum Bridal perfume and a pack of Tatti Lashes Wedding Lash, all of which are perfect for popping in your bag to top your makeup up throughout the day, there is, of course, the coveted Charlotte Tilbury KISSING Lipstick also included.
Everything inside the ASOS Here Comes The Bride Beauty Box worth over £55
The popular lippy is usually £28 for a full-sized product, but this mini version is the perfect way to try it out for free without committing to a full size. It’s a popular choice for brides, with The Mirror’s Eve Rowlands wearing it on her big day last summer.
She said: “It’s no surprise that Pillow Talk lips are the go-to shade for brides on their wedding day – as was the case with me when I got married last July. I fell instantly in love with the gorgeous nude pinky hues when my makeup artist did the all-important make-up trial because they give the ultimate innocent and simple ‘English rose’ look. If you’re a bride-to-be and you’re after your perfect wedding lippy, look no further.”
Here’s everything inside the £20 beauty edit from ASOS :
1 x Makeup Revolution Super dewy Liquid Blush
1 x Huda Beauty GloWish Micro Mini Eyeshadow Palette – Clay
1 x Benefit Mini 24 – HR Brow Setter
1 x Tatti Lashes Wedding Lash- Lash of Honour
1 x Elie Saab Le Parfum Bridal Eau De Parfum: 1.5ml
1 x Charlotte Tilbury KISSING Lipstick – Pillow Talk
The beauty box offers shoppers the opportunity to scoop some fantastic products from top brands for a lot less, however, as is often the case in these pre-packed edits, is that some people may not love every single item inside – but that’s where regifting can come in really handy.
The ASOS edit rivals the likes of Boots and Elemis, which have also launched bridal-themed hauls in recent weeks. Health and beauty retailer Boots has launched a brand new Luxury Wedding Edit and it’s packed full of premium products worth over £180 from top brands including Elizabeth Arden, Laura Mercier and many more. Shoppers will find a selection of 11 premium skincare and makeup products to choose from, including the Kate Middleton-loved Clarins Lip Perfector, which is worth £23 alone.
Meanwhile, Elemis has teamed up with independent bridal boutique Gigi and Olive, who specialise in personalised bridal and bachelorette products, to offer soon-to-be-weds ‘the ultimate beauty gift for wedding day prep’. Combining skincare with adorable lifestyle products for your bridal era, the haul saves shoppers over £100 – essentially making one of the most expensive products inside completely free.
