Boots shoppers who spend £35 this weekend can get £100 worth of free high-end products. It comes as the health and beauty retailer has launched The Premium Make Up Edit Beauty Bag - a limited-edition edit brimming with a range of luxury beauty brands for a fraction of the standard cost.
Retailing at £35, the collection features six products valued at £134.95, meaning customers save £99.95 - 5p shy of £100. Even better, five of the six items are full size, with the typical cost per product amounting to £5.83.
What's inside the bag
The collection comprises a mixture of skincare and makeup essentials from some of beauty's most renowned names, including MAC, Fenty, Clarins, Laura Mercier, Iconic and No7. Everything comes inside a soft pastel beauty bag, with customers able to select between pink, lilac or green, ideal for holiday travel or overnight stays.
Amongst the standout choices inside is MAC's viral MacStack Elevated mascara, which typically retails for £27 alone. It boasts a dual-sided, precision-tip curved brush ideal for achieving lifted, volumised lashes, while argan oil helps nourish the lashes and provide them with a fanned-out appearance.
While some beauty boxes showcase a hero product and several lower-value items, that's certainly not the situation here, with the products all carrying an RRP between £14 and £29 - no filler items whatsoever. The Fenty Gloss Bomb Stix is valued at £24, while the Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer is priced at £26.
Full list of products
- MAC MacStack Elevated Mascara (full size) – RRP £27
- Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer (full size) – RRP £26
- No7 Pro Artist Luxe Liquid Blush in Coral (full size) – RRP £14.95
- Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix in Fenty Glow (full size) – RRP £24
- Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk (100ml) – worth £14
- Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eyeshadow (full size) – worth £29, in either Metallic Taupe or Rosegold (selected at random)
Those purchasing the set will receive either Metallic Taupe or Rosegold, though the drawback is that the shade is selected at random, meaning buyers are unable to choose their preferred option. Another potential downside is that the set is heavily centred around makeup.
For shoppers seeking something a touch more well-rounded, the ASOS Face + Body Travel Essentials Beauty Bag is worth considering, valued at £111 but available for £42. It features a variety of products, including a hair oil, dry shampoo and even a sample of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. Over at OK! Beauty Box, the Getaway Edit is valued at over £175 and retails at £39.99. It boasts a £65 Rodial SPF worth more than the box itself, alongside nine other summer-ready products spanning skincare, SPF, fragrance, wellness and makeup, seven of which are full size.
Whether shoppers are seeking to update their cosmetics collection, sample luxury brands at a fraction of the cost or begin their festive shopping early, this latest beauty edit is available on the Boots website.
