THE SUMMER EDIT BEAUTY BOX
Worth £284 and takes the guesswork out of summer beauty
3 July 2024
Your makeup and skincare, much like your wardrobe, needs rethinking when there's a change of season. The good news is, the sellout GLAMOUR Beauty Box is back to take the guesswork out of any warm weather beauty swaps.
With summer officially here, the GLAMOUR beauty editors have chosen their favourite formulas to withstand heat, humidity and arctic blasts of air-conditioning. Even better? You’ll find these 10 picks inside the new GLAMOUR Summer Edit Beauty Box. Purchased separately, the total selection would retail for £284, but they're all yours from just £16 per month!
Each GLAMOUR beauty box includes at least six full-sized products worth over £200, handpicked by GLAMOUR editors, and is delivered straight to your door every three months when you subscribe.
To help you get your summer glam on, we've included two Fenty Beauty products – a travel-size Hella Thicc Volumising Mascara for dramatic lashes, and a full-size Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick for a matte finish with serious staying power. To ensure the lipstick goes on smoothly, we've also thoughtfully included the Symbiosis London [Rose + Hyaluronic Acid] Revitalising Sugar Lip Scrub to create a plump base and buff away flakes.
On days when you want a low-maintenance glow, there's the best-selling Milk Makeup Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss, which delivers a high-shine finish with a single swipe, and the Manucurist Active Glow to enhance nails with an instant rosy sheen.
Skincare-wise, we've got you covered with Rodial's cult brightening and firming Snake Eye Cream O2, which alone retails for £80. We also have two essential products from Dermatica – the Clarifying Azelaic Acid 12% Cream, a multi-tasking cream that improves the look of breakouts, dark spots and fine lines; and the Restoring Ceramide Skin Balm to lock in hydration (it's a game changer on a flight).
Not neglecting the skin below the jawline, there's the Weleda Skin Food Ultra Light Dry Oil, which feels featherlight on the skin and smells heavenly, too. And finally there's the summer essential you never knew you needed but we guarantee you'll reach for time and time again. The Boosted Boob Tape Anti Chafe Boosted Body Balm can be used anywhere where chafing is an issue as the temperature rises – it's also brilliant to sling in your gym bag for an extra layer of protection.
Sound good? Here are the hero products inside GLAMOUR's Summer Edit Beauty Box – we hope you love them.
Fenty Beauty Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick, RRP £25
Indulge in high-impact colour with just one swipe. Fenty Beauty’s Icon Velvet has a creamy, whipped texture, enveloping your lips in an intense matte shade that has a no-shine look while still feeling plush and comfortable. It’s our favourite way to go matte.

Dermatica Clarifying Azelaic Acid 12% Cream, RRP £19.99
Meet your new skincare hero: a multitasking cream that speeds up cell turnover with its mild exfoliating action to smooth skin’s texture and unclog pores. The star ingredient, azelaic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that helps to improve the look of breakouts, fade dark spots and make fine lines look less obvious. It works alongside barrier-strengthening ceramides for skin that is brighter, clearer and more hydrated.
Dermatica Restoring Ceramide Skin Balm, RRP £5.95
Wave goodbye to post-summer skin dryness and irritation with Dermatica’s Restoring Ceramide Skin Balm. Packed with a nourishing ceramide complex, this fragrance-free formula speeds skin barrier recovery while also locking in moisture and, best of all, works on all skin types. Apply before bed and you’ll wake up to healthier, smoother skin.
Milk Makeup Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss, RRP £24
Odyssey bridges the gap between a lip gloss and the moisturising benefits of an oil packed with antioxidant jojoba and vitamin-rich cloudberry seed oils. Its non-sticky texture means you can swipe it onto bare lips or layer over lipstick for a juicy, high-shine finish.
Boosted Boob Tape Anti Chafe Boosted Body Balm, RRP £14.99
Say hello to the new summer essential you never knew you needed. Boosted Body is a multi-use, fragrance-free balm that is kind to your skin. Perfect for preventing and soothing thigh chafing as the temperature rises, it is also an essential for runners in need of a barrier balm. Got shoes or sandals that rub? Boosted Body will also have you covered. It even prevents spin bike sores.
Fenty Beauty Hella Thicc Volumising Mascara (Deluxe), RRP £10
Get ready for thick, bold, extra dark, full-bodied lashes. This Fenty Beauty ultra-black mascara formula is paired with a tapered brush to coat every lash, while feeling totally weightless. It takes volume *literally* to the next level.
Weleda Skin Food Ultra Light Dry Oil, RRP £15.95
This body spray combines the lightness of a moisturising mist with nourishing plant oils for super-smooth skin from the neck down. With skin-loving extracts of pansy, organic calendula, rosemary and chamomile, it’s easy to apply, non-greasy and absorbs quickly for instant results.
SYMBIOSIS LONDON [Rose + Hyaluronic Acid] - Revitalising Sugar Lip Scrub, RRP £73
Massage this scrub into lips, let the sugar micro-crystals work to polish the skin and then – the magic moment! – the texture transforms into a nourishing mask, infusing lips with hyaluronic acid. The result? Lips that are satin smooth.
