Everything you need to know about the latest GLAMOUR Beauty Box
A beauty bag transcends mere storage; it’s a curated sanctuary for our essentials. It helps us to feel together, taken care of and ready for anything by ensuring that our go-to products – from skincare to makeup – are organised and readily accessible whenever, and wherever, we need them. And a good beauty bag always starts with getting the basics right…
Enter: the new Beauty Bag Essentials GLAMOUR Beauty Box. GLAMOUR's beauty editors have hand-picked eight top buys to help you effortlessly kit out a beauty bag that is as dynamic, multi-faceted and on-the-go as you are. Purchased separately, the total selection would retail for over £159, but it's all yours for just £24 when you use introductory code: WELCOME15.
And if this is the first time you’re hearing about our GLAMOUR Beauty Boxes, here’s everything you need to know: each box includes at least 5 full-sized products worth over £130 and is delivered every 2 months, though you can pause your beauty subscription and skip a box anytime you like. As well as our intro offer, our flexible payment plan means that you can spread the cost over time or pay upfront.
Ahead, take a sneak peak inside the new Beauty Bag Essentials GLAMOUR Beauty Box.
Vieve Power Ink Liner, £23
If we totted up the number of minutes we’ve wasted doing, and then redoing, our liner, we’d waste even more minutes, and quite frankly we can’t be bothered. Which is why we’re glad that products like this exist; to help us achieve the perfect ‘simple’ winged eyeliner look every single time. This ergonomic eyeliner is designed with a flat edge to give you more control - whether you’re going for a natural flick or something bolder - and the smooth-flowing ink gives you even liner coverage without any need to drag the product across your lid or waterline.
Plus, it’s smudge-proof, which means no nasty surprises when you catch sight of yourself in the bathroom mirror at the end of the working day.
Rodial Blush Drops - Sunset Kiss, £39
Don’t make us blush. No, seriously, there’s really no need to make us blush, not when we’ve got these blush drops from RODIAL. Simply dab a few dots of this silky, lightweight fluid onto lips, eyes and the bridge of your nose to achieve the kind of natural rosy glow - a ‘catch the light’ look, if you will - that never goes out of style.
Best of all, the drops are easily buildable so you can play around with just how glowy you want to go and Rodial has also thrown some vitamin E in there to help keep your skin hydrated beneath all that shine. Plus, thanks to their clean ingredients list, they’re suitable for all skin types (yep, even sensitive).
Trinny London Lip Glow, £17
We love, nay adore, a product that can be applied using just our finger on the go. No faffing about with brushes or applicators, just swipe and go. But that’s only one of the reasons why we love Trinny London's Lip Glow. The brand is all about maximising what our mamas have already given us and this sheer wash for your lips is no different. Imagine: a slick of dewy colour to freshen up hours-old makeup and leave your lips feeling genuinely nourished, not coated. Swipe on the weightless formula for a subtle, healthy sheen that elevates any look, or layer it up for a more pronounced, glossy finish.

TOPICALS Faded Brightening & Clearing Serum, £35
We don’t mean to get all mathematical on you, but if you’ll allow us to talk percentages for a minute, 100% of people who used this Brightening & Clearing Serum found the overall look of their skin improved within the month. Those are pretty good odds, right? Meet: Faded, which works with your individual skin texture and tone to reduce dark spots, redness and general blemishes. And if you’re thinking that those kinds of results can only be achieved by a harsh formula, think again, because this is gentle enough for daily use, thanks to the inclusion of Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid, which brightens and improves skin texture. Evened, glowing skin, here we come.
LIP LINER STAY-N® Peel-Off Lip Liner Stain, £12
Lip stains are dominating our FYPs at the moment, and this version from Sacheu is the most long-wearing one we could find. This dermatologically-tested liner will keep your lips defined throughout the day and into the night, without the use of any nasties to help it excel. And if you’re thinking that hour-after-hour of perfectly-lined lips might come at the expense of their nourishment, think again, because this stain contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to guard against just that.
Skin + Me Hydration + Glow Serum, for Dry to Normal Skin, £25
Ditch the dull and dive into dew with this dermatologist-crafted night serum, specially formulated for sensitive skin; a hydration powerhouse that's basically a spa day for your face. Seven types of hyaluronic acid? Check. Glow-boosting peptides? Yep. Skin-restoring niacinamide? You’ve guessed it. We're talking plump, luminous skin, thanks to a silky formula that sinks straight in, hydrates at a cellular level and doesn’t clog your pores (praise be). And all this without any nasties – just pure, vegan glow-up magic.
So In Vogue Eye Candy Pencil Sharpener, £3.49
The humble pencil sharpener might not ever get to be the star of the show, but it’s certainly holding things together behind the scenes. No matter how good your lip, eyebrow or eye liners are, they’re about as much use as an Amazon Prime subscription without a working internet connection if they’re blunt. Enter: the Eye Candy dual sharpener, with not one, but two universal sharpening holes suited to any regular or jumbo pencil, specifically designed to give you optimal precision after every use. Need we say more?
Nursem CARING HAND WASH MINI, £5
Ok, bear with us, because hand wash as an essential feels a bit 2020 all over again, doesn’t it? But actually, having your very own gorgeous smelling, hydrating soap wherever you go is a greatly-overlooked luxury. No longer need you be at the behest of whatever sticky soap resides in the loo at your local café or risk drying out your hands with the bulk-bought in-office option, this super-hydrating variety from Nursen has got your back, or your palm, in this case. It’s concocted with medical grade Manuka honey and white willow extract to soothe any inflammation or soreness and the allantoin and vitamin B5 make it immediately nourishing for busy hands.
19/99 Beauty Precision Colour Pencil, £19
Bonus product alert! If you're lucky, you could be in with the chance of bagging yourself this versatile colour pencil – included in just 1,000 of this season's GLAMOUR Beauty Boxes. Every makeup bag has its hero, and this one's ours. The rich, creamy texture of this pencil gives you seamless application across eyes, lips, and cheeks. Meaning you can, quite literally, pull a spectrum of looks out of the bag in no time at all, from subtle washes of colour to bold definition. Think: coconut oil for a moisture boost, carnauba wax for structure, and a blend of mineral pigments for bold, lasting colour. Use it to line and fill your lips, add a quick pop of colour to your cheeks or define your eyes.
