Beauty deal of the week
Whether you need to update your own makeup bag, or find a last-minute present for a loved one, Boots has a great value gift set for beauty lovers this Christmas.
The health and retailer’s hugely popular Star Gifts offer shoppers a range of items that won’t break the bank. One that has been hailed as a “bargain” by shoppers is the MAC Frosted Favourites Beauty Gift Set.
Available to buy online and in store, this limited-edition beauty gift set is packed with £103 worth of makeup must-haves from the iconic beauty brand, but it will only set you back £45. This means shoppers are getting £58 worth of cosmetics completely free.
Even better? The MAC Frosted Favourites Star Gift comes with four of the brand’s bestselling products, three of which are full-sized. Additionally, fans will also find a brand new lip balm included in the set.
One of the hero products included in the Frosted Favourites gift set is the brand’s MACStack Mascara, which boasts over 18,000 five-star reviews for its stackable megabrush and non-clumpy formula that delivers a “false lash effect”.
Another star product in the gift set is the bestselling Fix+ Stay Over Setting Spray. Designed with a revolutionary alcohol-free formula, this setting spray works overtime to keep your makeup in place for an impressive 16 hours.
That’s not the only beauty product included, as there is also the Lip Pencil Lip Liner in shade Spice. The brand’s lip liners have a smooth, creamy texture that is perfect for outlining lips or colouring them in.
Shoppers will also be treated to the brand new Squirt Plumping Gloss Stick in the Amped shade. This gloss uses a non-sticky, lightweight formula to give the look of a lip balm, but the shine of a gloss.
Skincare fans will also find a mini-sized version of the brand’s Hyper Real Serumizer, which has been described as a “never-before-seen serum-moisturiser hybrid”. Priced at £60 for a full-size bottle, this gift set gives fans the opportunity to try it out without the price-tag.
While a third added: “Exactly as pictured. Very comfortable. Will go with every outfit.”
A fourth exclaimed: “Love Love Love these sandals! Comfortable, stylish and the colour is so vibrant and stylish. Ordering to delivery was also effortless.”
A few shoppers have knocked a star off in their review over the design of the buckle, with one writing: “Great shoe although clasp is fiddley to try and get perfect around heel as both sides adjust where the meet in the middle.”
