With a host of products from face masks or tonics to creams and serums, one set that is reduced is said to be worth almost £270.

The Cult Beauty The Ultimate Holiday Edit is currently priced at £49 down from £70, saving a handy 30%, while it’s worth £270 when bought separately. There’s nine different products across masks, serums and tonics, all designed to work together to formulate a new routine to revitalise skin.

The host of products means beauty fans will have plenty to use to look and feel amazing while glamming up for a New Year’s Eve party.

There’s also Biossance Squalane and Vitamin C Rose Oil in 15ml and finally, a Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Shield SPF 30 in 50 ml.

The brand recommends using the press and glow tonic for morning and evening cleansing with three to four pumps on a pad, alternatively, the hydrating face mask can be used up to twice a week for 15 minutes each. There’s also the eye masks, and rejuvenation serum, which the brand recommends applying day and night followed by moisturiser.

Other products are designed for makeup applications, like the Sweed air blush cream, which can simply be put on via a blush brush, or the 24 hour brow setter, which offers 24 hours of brow shape protection applied via a handy brush. There’s also more unique product formulas like the squalane and vitamin C rose oil, which shoppers can use a few drops of in the morning and at night for hydration.

The whole set is presented in a sleek, two-tiered gift box with playful mock drawers that open out, so is great for gifting and the box can be re-used too. The brand reminds buyers their orders are usually dispatched within 24 hours of ordering.

As an alternative, those after a bargain friendly deal could look at Boots’ No7 Pro Artist Ultimate Glamour Beauty Vault, currently priced at £44.50 down from £90, saving a hefty £45.50, but worth £137 in total. With lip shines, blushes, bronzers and liners, there’s an array of makeup goodies for shoppers to craft their perfect look with, all packaged in a wonderfully sleek, pink gift box.

Buyers could also check out The Lotus Edit Gift Set from Marks and Spencer, currently priced at £66. It includes a cleansing balm that’s a “remover, toner, exfoliator, moisture balm” all in one according to the brand, along with a Lotus Flower Treatment Cream that reduces fine lines and wrinkles, a blemish treatment in 15 ml, and a Lotus Treatment Serum that ‘replenishes and protects’ according to the brand.

Back to the Cult Beauty The Ultimate Holiday Edit, shoppers loved the value on offer. One shopper said: “Loved this edit from Cult Beauty – the box is lovely and I have made use of this [by] putting all my favourite items in here. This is one of the best value edits I have had from Cult Beauty especially as it included the Medik8 toner which gives lovely results. Loads of new brands including Sweed which is a gorgeous colour and texture blusher.”

Another said: “Fantastic edit as usual. I like these edits, it’s a fantastic way to try a huge selection of new products and at a reduced price. And you never disappoint me. This time the container is like a small dresser to store make-up or whatever!”

A third said: “I’m actually obsessed with Cult Beauty edits! I buy most of them because it’s such a gorgeous way to try out products and even the smaller sizes are great! Such a wonderful variety and a great mix of contents.”

Other shoppers left feedback however, one found the price was higher compared to previous gift sets. They said: “Love the selection included with a combination of skincare and makeup. Price is higher compared to previous edit releases but appreciate the full sized inclusions.”

Another said: “This is a great edit with some products that I haven’t tried before, such as the Kate Somerville serum and the Sweed blush. It also has some of my favourites like the Benefit brow gel, Medik8 tonic, and Laneige lip balm. The only filler item is the sleep mask, which I’m not interested in, so I’ll pass it on to someone else. Great set and good value.”
