Marks and Spencer: How the high street darling keeps breaking the internet

Marks and Spence has chalked up one of the best performances in the FTSE 100 this year

Few retailers have the ability to break the internet quite like Marks and Spencer

Over the past week or so savvy shoppers have taken to social media to praise its Summer Beauty Bag. The stylish travel kit which includes 12 coveted skincare and beauty products sold out last year and its return has been highly anticipated. 

This is not a fluke on Marks end, the beauty industry is worth a whopping £9bn in the UK, and the figure is likely to rise as the shoppers continue to treat themselves to ‘small luxuries’ amid the cost of living crisis. 

The Summer Beauty Bag is worth £170 in total, but customers can buy it for £30 when they spend £35 or more on clothing, home or beauty in-store or online. 

Just last month, the retail giant sent shoppers rushing out to buy a £10 perfume which mimicked the scent of Sol De Janeiro’s pricey ‘Brazilian Crush’ scent. The product is now completely sold out.
