Cult Beauty The First Class Edit 2026 Review

Today, I’m reviewing the Cult Beauty First Class Edit, which is worth over £210 and includes seven beauty products. The entire edit costs about the same as buying a full-size Medik8 Liquid Peptides with 24% off, which makes it feel like an absolute bargain to me.

Medik8 Liquid Peptides (30ml, worth £59, Full Size) – a daily peptide serum with a 30% blend of 10 peptides, made to visibly smooth fine lines and wrinkles. I’ve been using it for a couple of years, and it has definitely made a difference. It’s not an overnight fix, but my fine lines have softened, and my skin looks healthier and more hydrated.

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Pads (14 pads) – gentle exfoliating facial pads with lactic acid that help restore radiance and leave the skin feeling soft and smooth. I love these. They leave my skin feeling smooth and looking clear without being harsh.

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Brightening Serum (8ml) – a face serum with 15% vitamin C (THD ascorbate) that helps reduce the appearance of dullness, brighten dark spots, target signs of ageing, and minimise the look of pores. I really love how this serum makes my skin look brighter, more glowy, and healthy while helping to even out my skin tone.

Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF30 in Sunrise (50ml, worth £36.50, Full Size) – a glow-enhancing sunscreen enriched with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and panthenol. I’ve tried this product before and already reviewed it. Unfortunately, it didn’t become a favourite for me.

111Skin Black Diamond Face Mask (worth £24.00) – a sheet mask formulated with allantoin, adenosine, niacinamide, glucose, hyaluronic acid, diamond powder, hydrolysed collagen, glycerin, glycogen, peat water, centella asiatica leaf extract, and charcoal extract. I’m always happy to find 111SKIN masks in beauty boxes because they’re effective but quite pricey.

Augustinus Bader The Cream (7ml) – a face cream designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, even tone, and improve skin texture. The formula is enriched with sunflower oil, shea butter, ceramides, sorbitol, soybean protein, hydrolyzed rice protein, and panthenol. This works great as a night cream for my combination skin during winter. It’s very pricey, but I love the results.

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multi Balm Raspberry Shortcake (3g) – a multi-tasking lanolin balm designed to hydrate dry and chapped lips, cuticles, skin patches, elbows, and any other dry spots on the skin. I’ve been a loyal Lanolips fan for years, and these lip balms are a staple for me.
