A full-size bottle of Color Wow Money Mist, a little bottle of Kayali and a jelly blush stick that settles into its own shade of pink on contact: the Boots Trending Beauty Box reads like a stroll past the beauty shelves everyone has been lingering at this year. Ten products, seven of them full size by Boots’ count, sit together in one bright pink box for £45.
It isn’t a calendar, so nothing waits behind a door. Everything arrives at once, which suits the way this box is put together: a spritz for your hair, a cleanser for the evening, a mascara and a blush for the morning, and something warm and rosy for the wrist on the way out. The box itself is a cheerful, unapologetic pink, and it would happily stay on a dressing table once it’s been emptied.

The numbers
The Boots Trending Beauty Box is £45, and Boots values the contents at £191.71. There are ten products from ten brands, and Boots says seven of them are full size: the Color Wow Money Mist, the haruharu wonder cleanser, the ICONIC London mascara, the MILK Makeup tint, the Ole Henriksen lip treatment, the Glow For It lash serum and the Hello Sunday hand cream. The other three come in smaller sizes: a 20ml Laneige sun cream, a 10ml Kayali eau de parfum and a pack of 14 Mediheal pads.
It’s sold online only at Boots, with Click & Collect if you’d rather pick it up from a store.
Does it pique our interest?
The Money Mist is the headline act. Color Wow’s leave-in spray has become one of those products people recommend to each other by name: light, detangling, frizz-taming and heat-protecting without weighing hair down. Here it comes at its full 150ml, which means months of use rather than a trial run, and it’s the reason plenty of people will click through in the first place.
The make-up is where the box feels most of the moment. MILK Makeup’s Cooling Water Jelly Tint arrives in pHreeze, a shade that reacts with your skin and settles into your own particular pink, and it works on cheeks and lips alike. Beside it sit ICONIC London’s Stay and Slay waterproof mascara and a Glow For It lash serum, both full size, so lashes are looked after morning and night.
The skincare leans gently Korean. haruharu wonder’s Black Rice cleanser is a soft, low-pH gel, unscented and kind to sensitive skin, and at 100ml it’s the full tube. Mediheal’s collagen pads are the kind of quick, pre-soaked step that makes a tired face feel looked after in a minute, and Laneige’s Hydro UV Defence is a watery SPF50 that disappears under make-up. Hello Sunday’s hand cream carries SPF30 too, the sort of small, thoughtful thing we’d rarely buy for ourselves and then use every day.
Ole Henriksen’s Pout Preserve in Peach Glaze is a peptide lip treatment with a sheer peach wash of colour, and it arrives at its full 12ml, which makes it a very easy thing to leave in a coat pocket.
And then the Kayali. Fleur Majesty Rose Royale | 31 opens on juicy pear and peach, softens into rose, peony and magnolia, and settles on vanilla and praline. The 10ml bottle is made for a handbag, and it’s the piece we’d reach for first.
What we’d change
Our wish list for the next one is short.
A longer run of pads. Fourteen Mediheal pads make a lovely introduction, but it’s the kind of step you grow attached to within a week. A fuller pack would have let the habit settle in.
A full-size sun cream. Laneige’s SPF50 is something you use every single morning, so the 20ml tube goes quickly. It’s the one product here we’d most like to have seen at full size.
One more skincare step. There’s a cleanser and there are pads, but nothing to finish with. A serum or a moisturiser would have rounded the skincare into a small routine of its own.

Who it’s perfect for
The Boots Trending Beauty Box is for someone who likes to keep up with the names everyone is talking about without buying them one at a time. It spreads itself across hair, skin, lips, lashes, hands and fragrance, so there’s something to use from the first morning, and the full-size pieces are ones you’ll keep reaching for long after the novelty of the box has worn off.
It makes a generous gift, too: a friend who loves a beauty haul, someone who’s been meaning to try Kayali, or anyone who’d be thrilled to find a Money Mist in their stocking. Nothing in it is complicated, so it works just as well for someone newer to beauty as for someone who already has a crowded shelf. If it’s your first Boots beauty box, it’s a gentle place to start: familiar formats, easy textures and a scent that’s hard not to like.
It’s less of a fit if you’re after a complete skincare routine, since the box dips into skincare rather than building one from start to finish.
Our Pique Verdict
Perfect for: Someone who wants a taste of this year’s most talked-about beauty names in one go.
Best product: Color Wow Money Mist Leave-in Conditioner, 150ml — the full-size leave-in people recommend by name.
Biggest drawback: The Laneige SPF and the Mediheal pads are small sizes of everyday steps, so they run out quickly.
Value for money: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
