High street health and beauty giant Boots has launched a dramatic price cut on a premium makeup set, offering savvy shoppers a chance to bag iconic products for a fraction of their usual cost.
A Star Gift with Major Savings
The MAC All Star Beauty Kit Star Gift, with a total recommended retail value of £92, has been reduced to just £39. As part of Boots' famed Star Gift promotions, this offer is only available for a limited period. Currently, an extra 10% discount applies, slashing the final price to £35.10. This represents a saving of almost £57 for customers.
Inside the set, beauty enthusiasts will find four full-sized, best-selling MAC products for eyes, lips, and face. With the current price, each item averages at an impressive £8.78. This is particularly notable as one product alone, the cult Fix+ Original Setting Spray, typically retails for £29.
What's Inside the Coveted Kit?
The kit is designed as a complete glam arsenal. Alongside the hydrating and priming Fix+ spray, which boasts a 4.6-star rating on Boots' site, the set includes the Extended Play Mascara. Worth £20, this waterproof, tubing formula is designed to last up to 16 hours without smudging, making it ideal for the festive party season.
For lips, the set contains a Lipglass Air lip gloss in the shade 'snobbish', a versatile pink nude, and the viral, often sold-out Lip Pencil in 'Cool Spice'. This soft brown shade is perfect for creating the trendy ombre lip look dominating social media. As an added bonus, the gift set also includes a £5 MAC voucher to use towards a future purchase.
Customer Reviews and Alternative Gifts
While the new set itself has few reviews, similar MAC kits in previous years have sold out weeks before Christmas, with one customer hailing it as a "fabulous Christmas present". Reviews of the individual products are largely glowing; the Extended Play Mascara has been called the "best mascara ever" by a user.
For those seeking a multi-brand beauty gift, the article notes that LookFantastic’s The Christmas Present Edit, worth over £170, is also reduced to £35. Meanwhile, Marks & Spencer is offering its Skincare Bag for £22.50, down from £30.
This Boots Star Gift offer underscores the intense competition in the seasonal beauty retail market, providing consumers with significant discounts on high-end brands during the crucial Christmas shopping period.
