Boots shoppers are raving about a £35 beauty gift set worth nearly £100, with some calling it the 'best thing I ever bought' thanks to the mix of full-sized favourites and travel minis. The set in question is the Benefit Pack'd Up Beauty Set Exclusive Star Gift on the Boots website.

The limited-time 'Star Gift' has quickly become a must-have for beauty fans looking to stock up on cult products while saving more than 60%. The set itself includes a selection of the brand's bestselling products, making it an easy all-in-one kit for everyday glam.

Inside, shoppers will find a full-sized BADgal BANG! volumising mascara, alongside a full-sized Benetint lip and cheek stain for a natural flush of colour. Also included are mini versions of Benefit's iconic Hoola bronzer, The POREfessional smoothing primer and the 24-HR Brow Setter, giving buyers everything needed to create a complete look.

The set is packaged in a playful mini picnic basket-shaped tin, adding a fun, giftable touch that's perfect for spring. Designed for ease of use, the products can be layered into a simple routine, from the smoothing primer and adding warmth with bronzer, to defining lashes and brows for a polished finish.

If this isn't the one for everyone, LookFantastic has The For Her Edit, which is worth £180 but has been priced at £40, down from £50 at the moment. This one comes with favourites from The White Company, Clinique, ELEMIS and more.

Another option is the Sephora Favourites Ultimate Lip Set priced at £39 from Sephora. This includes a lip liner, lip balm, hydrating and plumping gloss and lip oil.

Back to the Benefit Pack'd Up Beauty Set Exclusive Star Gift, however, which has been rated highly online. One person said: "Best thing I ever bought. I am 50 years old. I had my lips done semi permanently a few months ago costing a pretty penny. I've never liked the result even after having it adjusted. I wish I'd found Benetint first. I really appreciate the ease of application (easier than Wonderskin), the strength of the pigment and longevity. It's perfect."

Another added: "For a smoothing appearance to cover pores, it's nice as a base for makeup and my skin looks so healthy and bright. I couldn't believe how it glided onto my skin. It's a good base for makeup to go on."

A third person said: "Always buy this product. Very reliable and works well, not messy."

Some people disagreed, as one person wrote: "Have this in a darker colour and love it, so decided to go for a lighter colour for winter. Really disappointed as I didn't realise they no longer come with the brush inside. I love the product but without the applicator brush I think it's very expensive."

Another added: "Nice light bronzer. No longer comes with a brush but I prefer to apply it with a powder puff anyway."
