It’s nearly Christmas time and if you are struggling to get your skincare-loving partner or friend a gift, Boots is extending their last Christmas delivery till Monday so your gift will arrive right to their doorstep on Christmas Eve.
Anti-ageing gifts are always a good thought and don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean you are indicating that your giftee looks old but in general, anti-ageing skincare goodies are expensive.
You can save better than half price on No7 sets such as the Ultimate Beauty 9-piece set or save 20% of premium beauty sets like the Kiehl’s Midnight Renewal Set and Estee Lauder sets – so keep on reading to see some of my top picks.
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Skincare Holiday Gift Set
This set is the creme de la creme and it includes four bestsellers from the anti-ageing range, shoppers can get it at £76 instead of £151. The hero product in the set, a full-size Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi- Recovery Complex, normally retails for £89, is dubbed a “holy grail” that leaves skin feeling “silky” thanks to the exclusive tri-peptide blend.
The set also features a deluxe size Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée, a travel size Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme Moisturiser and a travel-size Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme – which gives a complete routine to youthful skin.
One customer said the Revitalizing Supreme+ Creme Moisturiser is perfect for her oily skin and added: “It’s more of a gel consistency which I find is better for oily skin. It’s feels like you are giving your skin a glass of water, it’s so hydrating and great for under double wear foundation.”
The gold-hued gift box features No7’s Protect and Perfect range, as well as the top-of-the-line Future Renew range. It features a full winter skincare routine that you want including a cleanser, day and night cream, eye cream, anti-ageing serum and anti-ageing retinol serum. Shoppers will also receive a Lash Extender Fibre Lash mascara and a Skin Illuminator Liquid Highlighter as a primer before foundation.
Customers love the “fantastic value” of the set with great selection of skincare that “leaves skin so soft and glowy” and some said their “makeup stays on better”. Plus you don’t need a gift wrap for this.
Kiehl’s Mighty Midnight Renewal Set
You might have guessed it by the name, this Kiehl’s set gets you bestsellers from the iconic anti-ageing range, Midnight Recovery and with a saving of nearly £30.
The Midnight Reveal Set is perfect for the one who has no time to rest because these five efficacious skincare favourites are designed to rebounce your skin as you sleep and work to repair damage at night. They are packed with powerful ingredients like Pure Retinol and Squalane, to visibly reduce fine lines, smooth texture and firm skin by morning.
Inside the set, you can find a full-size Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum (worth £72), a deluxe size Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil, a travel-size Midnight Recovery Concentrate, and samples of Super Multi-Corrective Cream and Ultra-Light Daily UV Defense – all for £92.
