Boots shoppers can get £150 beauty advent calendar for £44 with 'better than half price' deal

02 Nov 2024, 09:22 by Bethan Shufflebotham · Manchester Evening News

Boots shoppers can get their hands on more than £150 worth of beauty from brands like No7, Liz Earle and Ted Baker for £44 in a limited-time deal. It comes as the health and beauty retailer has reintroduced one of its most popular Star Gift offers on its Macmillan 24 Doors of Joy Advent Calendar.

The calendar was originally reduced in September, with Star Gifts usually on offer for just one week before reverting to their original price. But the high street favourite is giving customers who missed out on the deal the first time around another opportunity to take advantage of the money-saving haul.

The festive collection includes 24 beauty and skincare products and accessories from various beloved brands, such as Soap and Glory and Champneys. It features everything from creams and serums to body mists and useful beauty tools, making it ideal for anyone who enjoys pampering themselves.

The calendar, which usually costs £90, has been reduced to £44, saving customers 51% off the price, The Mirror reports. But our shopping experts have determined that the actual value of the calendar's contents is likely to exceed £150.

We examined the contents to determine how much each item would typically cost and were able to find individual prices for all items except the Boots Glow Hydrogel lip mask 2.5 g and mini Champneys glass nail file. The total, excluding these two products, came to £146.74, so with the additional items, it's estimated that the entire haul is worth over £150.

Some of the priciest items in the box include the No7 Skin Illuminator 30ml, typically priced at £13.95, and the No7 Protect and Perfect Intense ADVANCED Night Cream and Day Cream, collectively valued at £24.95. However, don't overlook some of the more budget-friendly finds.

Our beauty writer Bethan is a fan of the Ted Baker Rose and Orchid Body Spray, usually £4, as well as the £3.99 Soap and Glory BRIGHT + BEAUTIFUL Biodegradable Brightening Sheet Mask. With the new reduced price, each item in the box averages out to £1.84 per item, making this an excellent opportunity to stock up on budget-friendly stocking fillers.

However, there’s always a chance with edits like this that not every item will hit the mark, so be sure to check the list of everything inside the calendar to make sure it’s for you:
