For those whose warm-weather beauty routine is crying out for a glow-up, a beauty deal at Boots has emerged as just the ticket. The Clarins Summer Essentials Set has been reduced from £35 to £24.50, offering customers a 30% saving. With multiple Clarins bundles already sold out, this set is expected to follow suit.
Three-Piece Kit for a Natural Glow
Designed to deliver that effortless, just-back-from-holiday radiance, the three-piece set combines skincare and subtle self-tan for a natural-looking glow. The edit includes three of Clarins’ most-loved products: the Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster (15ml), Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream (30ml), and Lip Comfort Oil #01 Honey (1.4ml).
The tanning drops are typically priced at £23 on their own, meaning beauty fans effectively pay just £1.50 for the other two products. The drops can be added to moisturiser, allowing customers to customise the colour depending on how many drops they use. Clarins suggests using just two to three drops for a subtle bronze.
Product Highlights
- Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster: A facial self-tan booster that adds a sun-kissed glow.
- Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream: A lightweight daily moisturiser valued at around £27, designed to boost hydration and leave skin looking plump and fresh.
- Lip Comfort Oil #01 Honey: A glossy, nourishing lip oil that can be worn solo or layered over lipstick, making it a great handbag essential.
Ideal for holidays, weekends away, or to upgrade everyday routines, the three-piece kit effectively provides a summer-ready routine in one bag, all for under £25. For those willing to spend a little extra, Boots is currently running an offer where shoppers can get a free five-piece gift when spending £70 on selected Clarins products online.
Customer Reviews
The Clarins set has garnered numerous five-star reviews from shoppers. One customer said: “Great set of products, all products I like to use and while in the winter sale an absolute bargain.” Another added: “Another fabulous summer set from Clarins. Using the moisturiser and self tan together creates a natural tan which makes you look like you’ve just had a relaxing holiday. Finished off with the lovely lip gloss. Nice texture and feel to it.”
A third reviewer wrote: “The facial tanning drops are an all year staple and I use the moisturiser after swimming. The lip oil is hydrating and caring and has become a firm favourite.”
However, not everyone was convinced. A handful of reviewers noted the tanning drops did not show much difference on their skin. One commented: “The application process doesn’t make much sense and the tanning solution doesn’t work for me – there is no difference in the skin tone.” Yet another five-star review read: “I really like the way my skin glows with the self tan, two to three drops are enough to have a great result. Easy to use. Also I like the gloss.”
