Black Friday is just around the corner and Clinique has already launched its incredible offers for online shoppers. Skincare and makeup tend to be crowdpleasers during the annual sales extravaganza, and shoppers can now get a new Clinique deal full of cult favourites for less.
The Everyday Glow Skincare and Makeup Gift Set is currently priced at £50, down from £111 on the Clinique website, saving shoppers 54% on their purchase. The set combines skincare and makeup into one, with three full-size products and one travel-size for shoppers to enjoy.
The hero of the set is Clinique’s Moisture Surge 100H Hydrator – an oil-free moisturiser that has a gel/cream texture. It’s perfect for winter, as it’s said to help skin ‘hold onto moisture’ throughout the day. This can be used in conjunction with the All About Eyes eye cream – infused with vitamin C, this cream can help reduce the look of dark under-eye circles.
Then there’s the makeup portion of the set, which includes a full-size High Impact Mascara in Black. This is an ‘ultra-pigmented’ mascara that promises to give lashes lift and volume for up to 12 hours. The travel-sized addition is Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey – an everyday lipstick that has a sheer texture, almost like a tinted lip balm. It’s said to give a ‘sleek, soft-shine finish’ and is small enough to slip into a handbag or coat pocket.
Alternatively, there is the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Discovery Skincare Set for £30.40, down from £38 at Debenhams. This four-piece set is all about nighttime skincare, including a cleanser, eye cream, serum and moisturiser. Suitable for all skin types, Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum is a particular favourite – promising ‘unfiltered morning radiance’, even after a bad night’s sleep.
Another option comes from Boots, which has the P.Louise Obsessed for Less Skincare Set for £27. Another skincare-focused set, it includes three of P.Louise’s core products: a makeup remover with a jelly-like texture, a foaming face wash that ‘lathers beautifully’, and an ultra-hydrating moisturiser.
The Everyday Glow Skincare and Makeup Gift Set doesn’t have any ratings on the Clinique website, but shoppers have raced to share their thoughts on the individual products – particularly the Moisture Surge 100H Hydrator. One said: “This gel cream is so good and I’ve been using it since its first launch. The reformulations over the years have made it even more moisturising than it was originally.
“It makes a fabulous makeup base so I have used it before my evening makeup every night on a recent holiday – lovely to use after a day in the sun as it rehydrates without adding grease and lets skin breathe. It’s also good to use on mornings when you feel you need extra hydration (eg. after a night of drinking or when you feel tired) underneath your sunscreen. It’s always soothing, hydrating, and refreshing.”
Another added: “My mum has been using this product for over five years now. It is a very light, thin consistency that is easily absorbed and leaves no white cast. Very suitable to wear under makeup, and the skin feels soft instantly.” A third buyer added: “This product leaves my skin feeling really smooth and hydrated for a long time during the day.”
Some people disagreed slightly, for example this person wrote: “This is more like a gel than a cream. It is nice on your skin but I found it soaked into my skin too quickly before I did my foundation and my foundation didn’t spread as easily – but that could have just been my foundation.” This shopper added: “It is definitely a very hydrating moisturiser. Is it the most hydrating or the best one in the market? I wouldn’t say so.”
The Everyday Glow Skincare and Makeup Gift Set is available from Clinique.
