Skincare fans can snap up £65 worth of free skincare from Elemis, Murad and more as part of a beauty deal at ASOS. The fashion and beauty retailer has launched a number of money-saving sets prime for festive gifting - but we won’t blame you for wanting to snap one up for yourself, too.
The ASOS Gift Of Skincare Bag 2024 is one of the sets, all of which cost £25, but the reason we’re eyeing up this one in particular is because it’s the one with the highest value overall, worth £90. Meanwhile, the fragrance set is worth £80, with a makeup edition worth £62, and the bath and body gift valued at £68.
Inside, shoppers will find seven skincare saviours, including five travel-friendly products and two full sized, as well as a handy zippable storage bag that can be used to store beauty essentials after it’s empty.

Shoppers can expect to find a range of popular products, including a 20g pot of the cult-loved Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, worth £13.50, and Patchology Serve Chilled Rose Eye Gel Patches, which are the ideal way to revive tired eyes after a Christmas party. But perhaps the most impressive is the Sunday Riley CEO Glow 10ml, worth £22.60 - £2.40 less than the price you pay for the entire box.
The vitamin and antioxidant-rich facial oil is designed to brighten and hydrate and has earned a near-perfect 4.74 star rating on the Cult Beauty website, where it’s £68 for a 35ml bottle. One customer said: “Used it a few times in the mornings and the glow is glowing! Normally my skin is super sensitive to Vit C but so far so good with this one!”
Another added: “For me this is a must in my skin care routine. One of the best vitamin C oils. Skin look glowy and dewy after use and just sinks into skin. And the smell is stunning.”
Though some found it to be not as effective as they’d hoped, with one leaving a three star review, which read: “Honestly I thought I would love this but truthfully as someone who has already got vitamin c in their skincare routine it didn't do much for me If you don't have any vit c then you're going to find this gives you the best glow.”

Another ASOS deal we’re loving though, is the brand’s Face + Body Advent Calendar. It’s priced at £95, but contains beauty products to the tune of £403, saving £308 on the overall value. It boasts 26 skincare and make-up favourites that are sure to give you a sumptuous glow, including brands like Sol De Janeiro, NEOM, MAC, Philip Kingsley, ICONIC LONDON and Made By Mitchell.
Inside, 12 of the products are full-size, alongside 14 travel-sized minis, meaning your cosmetic cabinet will be well and truly stocked for 2025. Expect everything from high-shine lip glosses and dreamy pillow spritzers, to TikTok-viral blushes,
Beauty writer Shani Cohen unboxed the advent calendar earlier this year, and said the standout brands had her ‘buzzing’. She added: “It features cult favourites like Charlotte Tilbury, Sol de Janeiro, and MAC, as well as luxury skincare brands like Elemis, Ren, and Sunday Riley. You even get goodies from Beauty Works and Philip Kingsley, meaning this isn’t just about makeup - it’s got a fabulous mix of skincare, haircare, and bath essentials. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast or a beauty newbie, there’s something here for everyone.”
She described the calendar as ‘well-rounded’ striking a balance between ‘luxury and affordability’. She even went so far as to say it’s ‘one of the best deals on the market’.
And Shani wasn’t the only one impressed with the haul. On the ASOS website, one shopper left a five star review, commenting: “Omg I absolutely loved this calendar, it's one of the best I have unboxed this year (I'm a YouTuber) will use everything in this box too.”
Though one did suggest a potential improvement to the box, adding: “Amazing calendar! The products are so varied and they've chosen popular brands and products. Good quality with the packaging and so cool design on the box. One thing is that they could have put some decorative paper or like protective paper in the boxes with the products.”
Many beauty advent calendars probably won’t see reductions until a few weeks into November, but there are a couple we’ve already seen take price cuts. One is Revolution, whose calendar is worth £97, but has been reduced to £36. Elsewhere, the 12 Days of Kitsch Advent Calendar is 30% off with the code PRIMETIME.
Elsewhere, other beauty box deals we’ve spied include LookFantastic’s Premium Beauty Edit 2024, which is priced at £65 and contains luxury makeup and skincare products worth £225, with five for the products being full-size. This means shoppers are essentially getting beauty essentials £160-worth for free.
Another curated box that's worth checking out is Face the Future's Let It Glow Edit. It costs £99 and contains a whopping £612-worth of luxury makeup, skincare and haircare products from the likes of Augustinus Bader, Medik8 and Sigma Beauty.
