When it comes to spending money on makeup & skincare I think we are all in the camp of wanting to save money. Whether that's saving by finding cheaper alternatives, hunting down the clearance shelf of your favourite beauty department store or even treating yourself to a gift set that instantly gives you a saving.
While I love hunting down a bargain my favourite way to save is by seeking out exclusive gift sets. Not only do feel like a total treat but they almost always give some kind of saving while allowing you to try more from your favourite brands. Below are four gift sets that I absolutely adore and are definitely worth the spend!
Makeup Gift Sets
Beauty Blender x Too Faced Beauty Sleep Set (SAVE £4.50)£27.50 Cult Beauty HERE
When two popular beauty brands come together it's sure to be a beautiful thing and this set is no exception to that! This stunning gift set includes everything you need to fake beauty sleep, with the Hangover Primer and Spray from Too Faced and not one but two Beauty Blender sponges, one full size and the other a cute as can be 'micro-mini' for using to conceal the under eyes and blemishes - both in a stunning pale blush pink shade perfect for spring/summer.
Both the Beauty Blender sponges are designed to use with Too Faced Primer and Setting Spray and while I'm not too sure spreading primer over the face requires a makeup sponge, fingertips work well enough for me, I've been loving using the Hangover Spray on the larger beauty blender to seamlessly blend foundation and concealer for a perfect dewy and long lasting base. The coconut milk scent of both Too Faced products instantly makes me think of holiday making this a perfect morning wake-up routine or to pack in your suitcase for your next vacation.
Charlotte Tilbury Your Lip Service Royal Lip Trio (SAVE £12)
£60.00 CT Online HERE
Charlotte Tilbury's lipsticks are one the most treasured items within my makeup collection. From the luxurious gilded packaging to the stunning shade range, pigmentation and formulas. You really can't go wrong with a CT lipstick!
So this exclusive trio set really is perfection to me. Included in the set are shades Legendary Queen and The Queen in the Matte Revolution formula and The Duchess in the creamier glossier K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula. This lipstick wardrobe is certainly an indulgent treat/something to ask for as a gift on your birthday as it comes with quite a price tag, however, the saving is pretty great and you are getting three exclusive lipstick shades that won't always be around. My favourite shade has to be The Duchess as it's the most perfect wearable pinky nude for everyday wear which I've found hasn't left my handbag. However, The Queen is a shade to suit all skin tones and is almost a 'safe' bold lip that can be worn both day and night with confidence as it really does look amazing on every face!
Travel Skincare Sets
Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Introductory Kit (SAVE £14.80)£33.00 Cult Beauty HERE
A few weeks ago I wrote a post on what your next skincare purchase should be and this was the suggest skin set for a few reasons. 1. Kate Somerville has just landed in the UK after taking the US by storm for many years 2. The ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment is hands down one of the best exfoliates on the market - it totally transforms the skin 3. You get to try out the ExfoliKate range without having to spend £££ on full-size products (the exfoliating treatment is £72, after all!).
If you are looking to clear up blemishes, change the texture of your skin or just feel like you need to switch up your skincare routine then this three-piece set will do just that. With the cleanser-exfoliate-moisturise process, your skin will instantly look and feel so much better even after first use. Kate Somerville products are expensive for a reason - because they're amazing, so being able to try some of the ExfoliKate range for £33 really is great. This is a set I know I will treat myself to time and time again!
GlamGlow Multi Masking Set (SAVE £29)
£29.00 ASOS HERE
Lastly, I real discovery set with six face masks from Glamglow along with a huge saving. Whether you're all about multi-masking, want to expand your face mask collection or like the idea of trying out a wide range of Glamglow products, this is certainly a set to cover all your needs. Along with 5 x 10g tubes the set includes a 20g tube of Supermud Clearing Treatment - one of Glamglow's best selling masks which works wonders on unhappy skin and blemishes.
If you love face masks or a bit of a pamper then I highly recommend this set. It's also great if you travel as the deluxe sample tubes are the perfect size for taking your favourite face mask away with you!
