The Bobbi Brown Soft Glam Essentials Gift Set at Boots costs £54 but contains four products with a combined value of £147.50, saving shoppers £93.50. The bundle includes a 50ml Vitamin Enriched Face Base+, a hydrating makeup primer that normally retails for £54 on its own, meaning buyers effectively get three additional full-sized products for free. This value is part of the reason the set sells out every year.
What's in the Set
Alongside the face base, the set includes a Smokey Eye Mascara in black, designed to add volume to lashes. There is also a Crystal Eyes Shadow Stick in Brilliant Honey, which glides onto lids to create a festive sparkle. Completing the four-piece line-up is the Extra Plump Lip Serum in Bare Rose, whose formula contains a blend of six botanical oils to help keep lips feeling comfortable.
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
The Bobbi Brown gift set has yet to receive reviews on the Boots website, but individual products in the bundle have attracted praise elsewhere. At LookFantastic, one Vitamin Enriched Face Base reviewer wrote: "Still the best. Used Bobbi brown face base for years. The best primer, nothing has ever come close." Another added: "Best primer. I absolutely love this primer/moisturiser, it even works well on my sensitive skin. I am over 50 and have tried so many primers but this one just seems to work so well under any foundation."
Not everyone was equally impressed, however. One shopper reported: "Good sitting under makeup but made me break out on my forehead and I'm not fond of the smell." Another reviewer praised the finish but flagged the cost: "I absolutely love how plump and glowing this makes my skin look before foundation. It really helps my makeup glide on smoothly and last longer. The only downside is the high price tag, but a little goes a long way."
Other Beauty Deals
For shoppers comparing beauty bundles, LookFantastic also has the Estée Lauder Dream Skin In One Sleep Skincare Gift Set for £45, with a value of £106.
