I'm a beauty writer and found a way to get £54 Bobbi Brown primer for £11.25 at Boots

Beauty fans can pick up the celebrity-loved Vitamin Enriched Face Base by Bobbi Brown for a fraction of its retail price as part of a newly-launched deal at Boots. Usually £54, shoppers can snap up the moisturising primer for £11.25 in one of the health and beauty retailers Star Gift offers.

Worth £148, the Bobbi Brown Boots Exclusive Star Gift contains four of the premium beauty brand’s best selling products, including the cult-loved product. But customers can get their hands on it for £45 - which is already £9 cheaper than buying the full size primer alone.

Saving £103, the set also contains a Dual-Ended Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick, Smokey Eye Mascara, and Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss, all of which are full sized. As part of the set, each one works out at £11.25 each, making significant savings on the higher-priced cosmetic favourites.

Bobbi Brown's Face Base is a favourite with make-up artists and celebrities – including Molly-Mae Hague and Ferne McCann – for the hydrating, nourishing effect it has on the skin, and how well it preps the skin before make-up application, working as your moisturiser and primer in one. As a result, it’s the main draw for the gift set, which has already earned a 4.6 star rating from shoppers who have praised its contents.

One customer wrote: “Normally I’m wary of these offers however, you receive the full size products for a fraction of the price. Not diddy travel sizes. I bought this for myself but would be a wonderful Christmas present for the beauty lovers out there!” Another added: “This is great gift set. I like this face cream, really does it’s job. Pleasant feeling on the face and smells nice.”

However, there is one slight bugbear that may annoy festive shoppers, with one penning: “Amazing value set - worth it for the vitamin enriched face base alone. Great for being on the go. Only issue I have is that price is printed onto packaging so not ideal if gifting.”

Elsewhere, John Lewis is offering the Bobbi Brown Most Loved Beauty Gift Set for £70, when shoppers spend £40 on Bobbi Brown products. The set is usually £163, but with the deal. You’ll essentially get more than £200 worth of cosmetics from the brand for £110. Anyone looking to take advantage of the offer will need to use the code BB40 at the checkout.

Meanwhile, the Bobbi Brown website also has a number of discounted sets, like the Essential Luxury Brush Set, priced at £85 and worth £171, or the Cream Shadow Stick Trio for £55, worth £88.50.

Other money-saving beauty boxes available include the Face The Future Let It Glow edit saves more than £500 on high-end products. Alternatively, LookFantastic’s annual Beauty Vault is priced at £150. The premium haul is worth over £700 and contains 14 full-size coveted beauty buys. One product, the 111SKIN Firming Concentrate Serum Set, is worth the price of the box alone, essentially making everything else completely free.

But if it’s the Bobbi Brown Star Gift that takes your festive fancy, you can buy it here for £45.
