‘Amazing’ Lancome beauty gift set ‘perfect for travel’ now reduced

While skincare and makeup are essential for many when travelling, not everyone wants to cart their large makeup bags along with them for the journey. Plus, flying restrictions on liquids can make it challenging for travellers to get everything they need in their carry-on luggage for those well-deserved holidays.

Of course, there are plenty of travel-size products out there, but stocking up on minature makeup can add to the cost of a holiday. Now, those looking to save on travel-size makeup may be in luck, as they can grab the Lancome Genifique Glow Getters Star Gift Set for £26.40 down from £44 from Boots – saving £17.60.

In this set comes a range of essentials such as the Genifique Ultimate Face Serum (20ml) which is said to be Lancome’s number one anti-aging serum. It is said to tackle key signs of aging and is suitable for all skin types from sensitive to dry and oily, making it a great choice for everyone. 

The set also includes the Lash Idole Mascara (2.5ml) in the shade Glossy Black, which features a clump-free formula and could be the perfect choice to keep mascara looking fresh while out and about or travelling. Lastly, there’s the Lip Idole Butterglow Lip Balm (1.5ml) in Shade 1 Petal Posey, which is said to both nourish and enhance lips.

If this isn’t for everyone, there are plenty of other options out there. For example, a great alternative but slightly more pricey is the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Check-In Kit Travel Size Makeup Kit for £70. Inside this kit is the mini Hollywood Flawless Filter, finsihing powder, lip duo and a setting spray. If it’s mainly skincare shoppers are interested in, another option is the Kylie Skin 4 Piece Mini Travel Set for £27 from LookFantastic which features a cleanser, mosituriser, serum and a toner.

The Lancome travel set has got one high review from a happy customer on Boots, however, as they said: “What a beautiful set at an amazing price! Perfect for travel or for discovering these fantastic products. The mascara is excellent, the lipstick has a beautiful shade that suits every skin tone, and the serum is absolutely superb. I’m very happy with this set — great value for money!”

Although there were no more reviews on the set itself, the products have been rated highly individually on the Boots website, including the full size Lash Idole Mascara. One shopper said: “This is my favorite mascara! Love the volume and how your eyes look after applying it!”

Another said: “By far the best mascara I have ever used! This mascara makes my lashes long and full and does not clump.”

Naturally not everyone is going to love the same product, and some other buyers shared different opinions. One said: “I find this to work well but not as good as other mascara I’ve used.”

Another wrote: “I don’t like the consistency of this product and only used a couple of times.”

The Lancome Genifique Glow Getters Star Gift Set is available from Boots.
