Martin Lewis’ MSE reveals how to get £161 worth of M&S beauty goodies for just £30
MARTIN Lewis has revealed how you could get £161 worth of M&S beauty goodies for just £30.
The Money Saving Expert team is back at it again finding the nation’s best deals out there – and this one is perfect for skincare, pamper session fanatics.
In this week’s newsletter, readers can find out how to secure sleep creams, hair products, face toners, lip balms and more for a bargain price.
Marks and Spencer‘s summer beauty bag is back and can be yours for just £30 – saving you nearly £150.
The kit includes 12 make-up and skincare items from L’Occitane, Pixi, Ren and more, plus a cute toiletry bag perfect for taking on holiday.
There is a catch though.
To get the beauty bag for £30, you also have to spend £35 on clothing, beauty and/or homeware – meaning you will spend £65 altogether.
M&S valued the bag at £170 – but Martin Lewis‘ team found you could buy everything separately for £161 with current offers.
All you need to do to secure the goods is add it to your basket online with £35 worth of other items or take it to a checkout in store.

- Check the online offers page The M&S offers page* lists offers from all departments – these are often on multi-buys, so it’s worth checking if you need to buy more than one of something.
