Have you heard about the latest bargain that’s been flying off the shelves?
Lidl recently launched beauty boxes filled with goodies, and they were a steal at just £2 each!
Some 35,000 people joined the virtual queue online to try and get themselves a box.
However, they sold out super quickly, and now some people are selling them on eBay to make a profit.
Why were the Lidl Beauty Boxes so popular?
The beauty boxes from Lidl were a hit for one simple reason.
The price was incredibly low.
For only £2, you could get a box filled with various beauty products, which usually cost £70!
Reselling for profit
While many were happy to grab these boxes for personal use, others saw an opportunity to make money.
Some of the boxes that originally sold for £2 are now being listed on eBay for much higher prices.
It was for charity, and now people are selling them for £50 – making a massive profit.
This situation isn’t new – limited edition items often end up on resale platforms. We’ve seen it in the past with M&S Beauty Bags and even Aldi’s Kevin the Carrot around Christmas times.
While it can be frustrating for those who miss out and must pay higher prices.
Good news!
It is undoubtedly disappointing if you haven’t been able to secure a beauty box, but there is some good news!
Lidl has announced that “due to unprecedented consumer demand,” they are looking into options for a second drop of its Lidl Beauty Box.
A spokesperson for Lidl told us to “watch this space” for information from Lidl about when more boxes may become available.
What can you do if you missed out?
If you missed out on the Lidl beauty boxes, don’t worry – there are still ways to snag a good deal.
The best first step is to look for alternatives or make your own.
It will cost more than £2, but you can personalise a hamper full of treats.
Other stores might offer similar beauty boxes or deals. Look for comparable offers that offer good value for your money.
If it’s this one you particularly want, it could be that Lidl decides to restock it. Keep checking the website or visit your local Lidl to see if the beauty boxes come back.

I got on the website on time but there was nowhere to click to buy the beauty box!
Disappointed
Anne says
I asked in my local Lidl and they had no idea what stores were selling the £2 Beauty Boxes and no idea how I could find out. Lidl should have at least updated their staff
