Beauty fans are racing to the Boots website to bag themselves a ‘free’ Clinique gift set in an exclusive online-only promotion. The deal is valid for customers who spend more than £55 on selected Clinique items, after which they will be gifted the six-piece bundle-available while stocks last, of course.
With a total value of £90, the gift set comprises a mix of skincare and makeup products that Boots describes as the ‘ultimate routine to prep and perfect a glowing, soft glam look’. It includes three skincare essentials; a full-size Take The Day Off Facial Cleansing Mousse, a 15ml pot of Moisture Surge 100-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, and the All About Eyes eye cream.
Then, the makeup trio within the set features the Quickliner For Eyes Intense in Intense Black, Almost Lipstick in Pink Honey, and a travel-size High Impact Mascara in Black. The bundle is ideal for those looking to replenish their Clinique collection or want to give the brand’s products a go for the first time – without incurring a large cost, reports OK!.
We totally understand not wanting to spend £55 on Clinique products just to secure a free gift set and so we’ve found a few other retailers that are offering alternative skincare bundles from the get go. LookFantastic’s Beauty Egg 2025, valued at over £205, is available for just £60 and includes brands such as Elemis and Medik8.
Glossybox is also retailing a limited-edition beauty Easter Egg for £45, packed with items worth over £198. Inside, you’ll discover products from brands like Medik8, e. l. f, Rodial, and many others.
Although if this offer is a tempting treat, beauty aficionados planning to shop for Clinique items can bag the Boots’ promotion online. The complimentary six-piece gift set is a pretty sweet deal considering the standalone £27 price tag of one of the piece: the popular Take The Day Off Facial Cleansing Mousse. Skincare enthusiasts have been impressed with the product, awarding it an overall 4.3-star rating.
A delighted shopper said: “Love this silky mousse texture and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished after use. I use the take the day off balm already and find this a fantastic addition to add to my double cleanse routine.”
Another raved: “Tried the mini first and had to get the big tube, as this is an excellent cleanser. I use a small amount to remove makeup (including waterproof mascara and glitter), SPF and the day’s grime, and nothing I have thrown at it can resist it.”
However, it should be noted that usage around the eye area should be avoided, based on information from the Take The Day Off Facial Cleansing Mousse product details, as stated by OK!.
One shopper, who had high expectations from the Clinique range also shared their let down with the mousse, saying: “Love the Clinique Take the Day Off range so had high hopes for this product. Beautiful consistency, lathers up nicely, very little product required. However my dry skin felt really tight after use so it may be better for those with oilier or more normal skin types.”
Meanwhile, someone else stated: “Works well, the balm would be better as it is more efficient taking off more makeup. However this works well with a subtle light makeup look.”
Another product included in the set is the acclaimed Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, which on its own would set you back £15 at Boots for a modest 15ml pot. Boasting an impressive 4.7-star rating, the product has garnered rave reviews, with one customer enthusing: “Best moisturiser I have ever, ever, ever used on my face.”
However, not all feedback was glowing, as a dissatisfied shopper remarked: “It’s nice and feels nice, but does pull under makeup. I prefer dramatically different moisturiser, it’s nice for no makeup days though.”
Meanwhile, another user pointed out one shortcoming: “When first using this it feels so silky and hydrated. It is weightless and absorbs really well, however within 10 minutes my skin is dry again so it’s not heavy moisturising.”
Despite this, many Boots shoppers have shared their satisfaction, stating: “This is the best moisturiser I’ve ever had. My skin has never felt so soft and hydrated – ever. And the softness lasts all day. My ‘go to’ moisturiser now.”
Another chimed in: “Always reliable. The best moisturiser for dry skin.”
