Boots customers can take advantage of the sales to stock up on essential beauty products for less. The high street retailer has been hosting its post-Christmas sale event for several days now.
A favourite among shoppers is the No7 range, which includes numerous gift sets perfect for those who like to plan ahead and stash away future presents or treat themselves after Christmas. Hundreds have already browsed the virtual aisles since the sale started just before Christmas Day.
One standout set that customers are snapping up is the No7 Ultimate Beauty 9 Piece Collection, retailing at £42.50 online. It includes nine items that, if purchased separately, would cost over £136, making this bundle a real steal.
Boots has stated that the Ultimate Beauty Collection is “back and better than ever before”. The online description states: “Including some of the most iconic and most loved products such as the No7 Protect and Perfect day cream, which instantly makes your skin look more radiant, and mini Future Renew serum to reverse visible signs of skin damage, plus a whole host of No7 beauty favourites.”
Marketed as being suitable for those with sensitive skin, there’s a generous selection within the reasonably-priced golden beauty box, reports The Mirror.
The bundle contains a mixture of full-sized and travel-sized products. It contains the Intense Advanced Dual Action Cleansing Water, the Intense Advanced Day Cream and the Intense Advanced Night Cream, a bottle of Future Renew Damage Reversal Serum, the Pure Retinol 0.3% Retinol Night Concentrate, a Skin Illuminator in the shade Nude, the Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Eye Cream, a Lash Extender Fibre Lash Mascara and a pack of cleansing wipes,
The bundle set was well-received by many buyers, and it received many 5-star reviews. One buyer wrote, “Super! I love No7. I’m 76, and people are always asking what face creams I use, as I look so much younger!”
Another happy customer added: “This was a perfect selection of skincare for me, as I use all the products and was thrilled to have bought them together. Each product works well and does what it claims to do.”
A third reviewer wrote: “I buy one of these every year (when they are on sale) as a present for myself. My face is quite dry, but these creams make it feel much better. They and the other make-up primers help to stop patches appearing when I put makeup on.”
Another reviewer shared: “Love this collection. Always great products and value for money.”
Not every review was five-star, though. A customer shared their review saying: “I bought this as an alternative to my usual Estée Lauder and Clinique. Since using the night cream my skin has become very sore and it clearly doesn’t suit me. I will stick to my usual brands in future as I am now stuck with and expensive mistake.”
A further customer also had issues saying “I did notice a difference in the texture of my skin after a few days, for the better, but I had to stop using it all. The perfumes used made me cough and wheeze all day and I had to use my inhalers far too much.”
“I have seasonal asthma but have never been affected before. Why use perfumes to the extent of every item when it’s for sensitive skin? I stopped using after three days, and my asthma subsided.”
Numerous gift sets are seeing price cuts post-Christmas. For instance, Superdrug is offering the LBL Pro-Glow Vitamin C Day Cream, CBD Eye Cream and Serum set for £31.99, down from £223.
Meanwhile, Amazon shoppers can snag a limited-time offer on the ESPA Harmonising Hydration Collection, valued at £114, but available for £39.90.
