Another week, another beauty box…
If you’re on the lookout for a totally chocka beauty box that’s filled to the brim with skin and makeup must-haves to discover, then this one from Cult Beauty will certainly tickle your fancy.
Curated with Cult’s desert island beauty favs, the Tried & Trusted Edit features all the when-in-doubt products you can always rely on, including a great array of brands you know and love.
From The Outset and Saie to Charlotte Tilbury and Urban Decay, this bargain edit really has it all.

Cult Beauty The Tried & Trusted Edit

shop £45 (Worth Over £165)Worth over £165 but yours for just £45 (a huge saving of 120), the Cult Beauty Tried & Trusted Edit is the perfect way to discover a collection of beauty heroes you’re guaranteed to love or stock up on firm favourites for less.
The 12-piece edit features four full-sized products and eight deluxe-sized products, ranging from skincare and supplements to makeup and haircare – an excellent, does-it-all mix.
But a standout product for us is the full-sized Saie Glowy Super Gel in ‘Star Glow’, which costs £22 on its own – almost half the price of the box.
Boasting a fluid-gel texture, this glow-giver glides over skin and diffuses effortlessly for a dreamy dewy gleam sans glitter, ideal for achieving a lit-from-within glow in moments.
We’re also excited by the Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating in a full-size, which usually comes in at £38 on its own.
Formulated to act as a tall drink of water for parched pores, flakiness and patchiness, this hydration big hitter features moisturising olive extract to visibly smooth as well as enhance softness and suppleness.
But even the deluxe-sized items are winners – and an excellent way to explore new formulas without committing to splashing out for the full price products.
One such item is the deluxe-sized Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara in ‘Black’ – a personal favourite that calls on plumping polymers to deliver the ultimate volume for a fanned-out, double-lash effect.
