Shoppers can get more for their money by getting the beauty bundle rather than paying separately for each item
Boots is selling a new beauty box that is not only filled with multiple full-sized products, but also costs only a fraction of its total worth. As part of its latest line-up of beauty gift boxes, Boots launched a bundle based on ‘trending’ skincare products that have gone viral on social media.
The store’s Boots X Trending On Social Beauty Icons Gift Set is available for £35 altogether it is worth £119.90, but thanks to the deal, shoppers can get it for £35. The bundle works out cheaper than buying a couple of the products individually.
One product included in the box costs £20 on its own at Boots, while another is on sale for £27 – see full list below. It means customers can get more for their money if they opt for the Boots X Trending On Social Beauty Icons Gift Set rather than buying each item separately.

If you’re yet to discover these fabulous brands and products, this set is a great find to try them out and see what all the fuss is about.

What have shoppers said about it?
Boots’ £35 Trending On Social Beauty Icons Gift Set doesn’t have many reviews yet, as it’s so new, but the ones it does have are primarily positive and are either four stars or higher. It currently has an average score of 4.8 stars out of five.
One person said: “Delighted that Boots has introduced these beauty boxes. I found all the contents to be exceptional and eagerly anticipate using them.” Another said: “Great selection of products, love the make up bag too.”
A third put: “I absolutely love all the beauty boxes, I love the serum so much.” A fourth wrote: “I was about to buy the lip stain and lip liner in the same shade, but then I came across this beauty box. For the price of just two items, I got a whole bundle of great products. Very happy with this choice.”
However, not everyone was quite as impressed. One shopper said: “I purchased it to try lip stains and blush. Although not very happy with the shades as they don’t suit my pale skin. Fwee is great as a blush but on lips it’s drying and very unflattering. Lip stains were just okay. Serums are really good.”
Someone else said: “What a bargain of a set! I already have a blusher and lip stain, and was looking to buy more colours when I came across this set. I love all of the products in the set. The fwee blush is a lovely natural pink which is great for daily wear. The lip stain is a lovely colour for both day and evening and lasts a good two hours.
“My set came with the moisturising cream which makes my skin feel super soft and moisturised – I’m pleased I had this one instead of the gel alternative. The reedle shot serum makes my skin feel smooth. Slight tingle sensation when using but nothing uncomfortable.
“My skin did appear slightly tighter the next morning and I look forward to using this over a longer period of time. The lip liner is nice, but the only thing that puts me off is having to wait 20 minutes before peeling off – and I just don’t have time for that.”
