This week, health and beauty retailer Boots is offering a deal that gives customers 15 per cent off on selected brands, including Clarins, using code SAVE15. However, if you’re savvy about what you add to your basket, you could end up with more than £441-worth of beauty products for £155.50.

The most significant deal to consider is the Clarins Christmas Showstopper. Valued at £269, it includes 11 items, six of which are full-sized, along with a reusable makeup bag. The thing to note here is that anyone who spends £70 on selected items can get the showstopper for just £79, instantly saving £190 on the contents. Shoppers have called it ‘great value’.

One customer said: “This is an absolutely bargain buy full of everyday essentials. I use some of the products regularly so it was a delight to buy this collection for myself.”

Another chimed in: “This is such an amazing showstopper! Jam packed with gorgeous products, there really is something for everyone. The case is a stunning colour and you can fit a lot in it. Highly recommend and great value for money.”

Some weren’t too fond of the makeup bag, one comment read: “Great selection of products, I have used all of them so far except the mascara and love it all. Must confess I really wasn’t keen on the bag itself as it’s shiny, but I love that too it’s so practical.”

To take advantage of the deal, one option would be to buy The Clarins Summer Essentials set, which was a hit throughout the summer months. Priced at £40, but costing just £34 with the code SAVE15, the contents are worth £81, meaning customers would instantly receive double the value in products than what they’d paid. 

As part of the offer, customers can grab a full-sized tub of the brand’s popular Hydra-Essentiel Cream SPF 15, valued at £40 alone. This lightweight moisturiser, which includes SPF15, is the perfect addition to your summer beauty routine for extra sun protection.

Infused with hyaluronic acid, it provides deep hydration and helps to plump the skin for a youthful glow.

Included in the set, customers also get the full-sized Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster Drops, worth £23, along with treats such as Clarins’ UV Plus 10ml and Wonder Perfect 4D Mascara (Waterproof) 3ml.

If you purchase two of these boxes, you’ll receive £162 worth of Clarins products for just £68. To qualify to get the Clarins Christmas Showstopper, you’d need to spend £2 more.

The closet product to this price would be the Clarins 4-Colour All In One Pen, which costs £8.50 after using code SAVE15 and features three retractable eye liners and one retractable lip liner.

When all these deals are combined, customers will receive £441 worth of Clarins products for only £155.50. While this is still a significant investment, these sets and skincare essentials are perfect for gifting or even splitting into stocking fillers for Christmas.

In other news, Marks and Spencer launched their beauty advent calendar earlier this week. This year, the calendar is packed with over £300 worth of makeup, skincare, fragrance and more from the M&S beauty hall.

Inside, you’ll find 25 products, 6 of which are full-sized, perfect for pampering yourself all the way up to December 25.
