Boots has unveiled three new Christmas beauty baubles, each filled with premium skincare and makeup products. Despite their £20 price tag, the contents of each bauble are worth significantly more, with the total value of all three reaching as much as £189.53.
This means that customers can pocket a saving of £129.53 if they splash out £60 on all three baubles. Each bauble has its own unique name and features an array of luxury brands in either travel-size or full-size packaging.
The best value is the Boots Beauty Bauble Luxury Beauty Treats bundle, which is worth £69.36, but is available to shoppers for just £20. It boasts big-name brands such as Nuxe, Sol de Janeiro and ESPA.
The second-best value for money is the Boots Beauty Bauble Stars of the Show deal. It is priced at £68.40 and features products from Liz Earle, Rituals, and OPI.
The third option is the Boots Beauty Bauble Beauty Extravaganza, valued at £51.74. It includes three full-size products and two travel-size ones from popular brands like Urban Decay, Huda Beauty and Byoma, reports the Mirror.
As these are new additions, none have yet received reviews from shoppers, but customers can always check the reviews of individual products for feedback. Delivery is free for orders over £25; otherwise, it costs £3.95. Click and Collect is free for orders over £15.

Boots’ £17.50 OPI Infinite Shine Gel Like Polish in the shade I’m Not Really A Waitress has received an average rating of 4.5 stars out of five from customers. One buyer commented: “Perfect coverage I did two coats but i could have got away with just one.”
A second wrote: “Infinite shine is extremely hardy – resists chipping, dishwashing, etc and hence good for active folks.” A third said: “Really loving this colour and it goes on so nicely and smooth.” However, someone else claimed: “Failed to dry properly, remained tacky for days and rubbed off easily. Not the usual quality I’ve come to expect from OPI.”
