Selfridges lucky bag contents

This week Selfridges released their much anticipated lucky bags. A limited edition of 1,000 lucky bags each containing a minimum of 5 products from their beauty workshop, they cost £15 and you had no idea what you would receive.


When I woke up to an email Wednesday morning that they were available to buy, I quickly logged on and bought two, the second one was to be split up for Christmas stocking fillers.

They arrived on Thursday (kudos to Selfridges on the quick delivery), and I ripped them open excitedly.

Here's what I got (contents of both bags laid out):



  • anatomicals hand cream
  • anatomicals eye mask
  • tweezerman matchbox nail files
  • dermalogica daily microfoliant
  • St Tropez everyday tan medium/dark
  • 99 hair band ball (actually weirdly quite excited about this)
  • liquid soap
  • face mask sachet
  • Nails Inc mini Porchester Square
  • VW tissues (why?!)
  • Blink brow bar eyebrow shape gift card


All in all, I was quite pleased with what I received. The brow shape voucher definitely redeemed these lucky bags for me and without this I might have felt a bit disappointed. I've seen the contents of some other people's and they were less impressed.


I'm glad I bought them, but I'm not sure I would be rushing to do it again without knowing what's inside.

  1. I can't believe they gave you tissues... that's a bit bad haha.
    Love the Nail Inc and brow bar voucher though! It was almost worth it just for those x

  2. Selfridges said that some items would be full size, and some would be trial size. They also said that the value exceeded £15. Umm, without the voucher I think they would have been exaggerating a bit.

    1. True. If i hadn't received that i would have been a bit miffed, considering i bought two bags! I think the bags just scrape in at £15 (more for the one with the brow voucher), but not as good as i (or anyone) was hoping for!

  3. Your bag doesn't look too bad compared to some! :) I was quite pleased with my bag too and the delivery was really quick (so it should be for £4.95!). I would've liked to have tried the Dermalogica though or the Eve Lom mask some people got. I've reviewed my bag at www.lottys-luxuries.blogspot.com :) x

    1. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty similar to previous ones i've used. It's also pretty cheap and retails for about £3.49, so a bit of a bargain.

    1. I see you got the tissue too! I bought two bags do laid them out together above. The one with the brow voucher in definitely made it worthwhile for me, but they still weren't quite what I was expecting.
