Shoppers praise 'top of the range' serum in gift set price drop
Skincare fans have been rushing to snap up a luxury beauty set that saves shoppers more than £50 on a serum that ''makes a huge difference to the skin'. Lancôme's Advanced Génifique Serum is usually £70 to buy, but as part of a discounted gift set at LookFantastic, customers can pick it up for the equivalent of £17.
The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Skincare 30ml Routine Set has a value of £109.50, but has been reduced at the retailer to £51.10. For those intrigued by high-end skincare but hesitant to splash out, the set provides the chance to sample a full Lancôme routine at a fraction of the cost.
Inside, customers will discover some of Lancôme's top-selling formulas designed to hydrate, smooth, and brighten the complexion. The kit contains a serum, eye cream and peptide cream, which average out at £17.16 each - quite impressive considering one of the products would cost shoppers four times as much individually.
The Advanced Génifique Serum (30ml), typically priced at £70, is a fast-absorbing, silky serum enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and pre- and probiotic-derived extracts. It's renowned for enhancing skin texture and radiance.
Currently, the serum is reduced to £52 at LookFantastic, making it still cheaper to purchase the full set. Meanwhile, Boots is offering this Lancôme Génifique Glow Getters Star Gift Set, which also includes the serum at a discounted rate, reports Bristol Live.

Product Description
Valued at £74.75, the Boots selection is now £32.70 and features a 20ml bottle of the serum alongside a mini Lash Idôle Mascara and Lip Idôle Butterglow Lip Balm. Both great items for travelling and trips away.
The Génifique Serum has won over legions of skincare devotees, becoming the star product to clinch the sales of the LookFantastic set blessed with unanimous five-star reviews online. One fan said: "Lovely set, especially when on offer. I have used this serum for years now and am obsessed! Soaks in well and leaves my skin feeling soft."
Meanwhile, another shopper shared: "I can only review the serum at this stage due to using it prior to this purchase. Because of how much I rate this serum was the main reason for buying this gift set. The serum is top of the range, absorbs so well and a small amount does go a very long way. My skin feels so fresh and soft to the touch after. I have high hopes for the other two products. The other factor in buying this was due to it being on offer. I just wish I had taken advantage and bought more than one box at the time."
Not all the products earned universal praise, yet customers still awarded top marks to the edit as the complete package comes cheaper than snagging the serum by itself. One noted: "Like the lightweight consistency of the serum, very hydrating as well. The eye cream is good but not sure with the cream."
A fourth happy customer penned: "This set is wonderful. The serum makes your face feel silky soft," and remarked that the entire collection is charming. "Would be great as a makeup base. The whole set is lovely. I got it on offer, so it's quite pricey, so I'm not sure I'll buy at full price, but will definitely keep an eye on offers."
The serum, praised on LookFantastic for ' making a huge difference to the skin ', has customers raving about repurchasing 'so many bottles'. Yet, a Boots customer commented: "Not bad but don't think it's for me. I noticed that it does block pores which is less than ideal for me. I tried the previous serum, it was more suitable."
Besides the famed serum, beauty buffs can indulge in the Génifique Eye Cream, celebrated for its fatigue-erasing and brightness-boosting abilities, or treat their complexion to the Rénergie HPN 300-Peptide Cream - crafted to defy gravity with over 300 peptides, hydration wizard hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
In other skincare deals, Liz Earle's Radiant Glow Routine set has been slashed by 35%. Normally priced at £80, this three-piece skincare set is now £52. That's a £28 saving on a set with skincare essentials that help clarify and cleanse the skin. Alternatively, Boots £10 Tuesday is a one-day flash sale which sees dozens of individual products slashed to £10.

My spending was out of control until I made easy change everyone can do – it helped me pay off £9k debt on £9k salary
DEBT CHANGE My spending was out of control until I made easy change everyone can do – it helped me pay off £9k debt on £9k salary Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OPENING her credit card statements Jo Beevers feels sick. She knew she had a problem with impulsive spending but she had never faced up to it, until now. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Jo Beevers, 46, got her spending under control with an easy trick anyone can do The 46-year-old, who lives near Chester, had always been in debt and was stuck in a constant cycle of doing 0% balance transfers. But going from a full-time job as an medical conditions and injury rehabilitation manager in a gym earning £30,000 to a working as a registrar 16 hours a week earning £9,000, Jo had no option but to stop hiding from it all and gain control. Jo said: 'I had £9,099.82 of credit card and overdraft debt and when I looked at where that money had been going, I felt ashamed. 'My spending was reckless because the money didn't feel real and I treated shopping like a hobby even though I was skint.' In 2018 Jo's "you only live once" outlook on money saw her buy a Volkswagen Up! for £9,000 while her husband, who works in IT, was away. And after a boozy lunch popped into Boots and spent £300 on perfumes she didn't need. Amazon parcels turned up every day and she even had a monthly delivery of two bottles of champagne from its Subscribe and Save service. Jo said: "It was ridiculous. If I had to hand over £80 in cash for two bottles of champagne every month I wouldn't have done it. 'But because it all went on the credit card, I didn't think about it. I knew I was bad but I could always justify my spending." Done with feeling guilty, stressed and worried about her mounting debt Jo stuffed her credit cards in a drawer and was ruthless in cancelling everything that was non-essential. I racked up £15k debt - here's how I paid it off as a single mum Then, she made one major change, at the beginning of every month she physically took out the remaining money after bills and groceries. Jo created a tracker and, in the beginning, divided the cash into different envelopes but it wasn't as easy as she thought and became overwhelmed. Jo said: 'I made loads of mistakes in the first three months by thinking the money could go further than it did. 'I created too many envelopes and the money couldn't stretch as far as I wanted it to.' Giving up temporarily, Jo worked through the overwhelm of emotions and prioritised where her money should be going and got herself back on track. She said: "Holding the money changed how I thought about it, it made it feel real. 'I had sections for debt, achievable savings goals and for non-essential spending. "Once I'd figured it out it was easy. It's so visual, it works for my mind.' Determined to pay off her debt and to keep on track, Jo created fun trackers to gamify her savings and to keep her motivated. She shared her journey on social media as @Cashbudgetbee and her trackers caught the eye of her followers. Stumbling on another way of topping up her part-time income, Jo began selling them on Etsy which has made £2,000 in the last 12 months. Jo said: 'I never thought it possible to find a way of making some extra money from my own debt clearing journey. 'But it made me feel normal to know that there were other people out there just like me.' Staying motivated was hard that's why she made the videos to share with her followers. When Jo hit a milestone, she popped into M&S and bought some champagne to treat herself, but a £22 one instead of a £40 bottle. But it can be a slippery slope, and the entrepreneurial mum, had to reign herself in. She said: 'It starts with one thing and then you're going back into old habits. And you go, 'Oh no I'm not debt free yet.'' Eighteen months on and Jo made her final payment on her credit card and if that wasn't enough, she also went into Christmas 2024 with money saved. She said: 'Being debt free is amazing, I'm the happiest I've ever been. Having money to spend at Christmas, rather than relying on credit cards was a great feeling.' But while she's riding high on clearing her debts, Jo doesn't feel like she can relax her new routine. She said: 'It really does worry me that I'll slip back as I've got 30 years-worth of spending habits to break. 'I've noticed some of my old shopping habits are sneaking back in. On Valentine's Day I didn't put anything in the budget as we hadn't planned anything. 'Then the day before I was online and putting all sorts in my basket, thankfully I was able to recognise what I was doing and stopped. All I can do is to keep trying.' Jo is giving herself new challenges to keep the momentum going and recently created an e-book sharing her own journey which she's already made £180 from.

Liz Earle shoppers say 'nothing compares' to item in beauty bundle saving £126
Skincare fans can get their hands on more than £132 worth of free Liz Earle skincare this week. It comes as the botanical beauty brand has launched a money-saving bundle that gets shoppers a morning and evening routine for a fraction of the price. The 'Day to Night Skincare Routine' bundle is worth £195, but this week, customers can pick it up for £69 on the Liz Earle site, saving £126 on the RRP. Among the products in the six-piece hail is their cult-loved Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, which is said to effortlessly remove make-up, SPF, and impurities, resulting in instantly moisturised and radiant-looking skin. The 100ml pump version of this popular formula, along with two cotton cloths, would typically cost customers £21, but it works out at £11.50 as part of the deal. However, some of the products are worth even more, with the Liz Earle Skin Repair Hydrating Night Cream 100ml usually costing £52 at full price. The bundle is available on while stocks last, and customers can get an additional 10% off with the code 10OFFBUNDLE until 20 August 2025. Shoppers should be aware that the discount excludes certain other Liz Earle collections and cannot be combined with other promotions. This reduces the price to £62.10, with each product averaging at £10.35 apiece. For Liz Earle fans, it's a fantastic opportunity to stock up on full-sized products at a discounted price, with a total saving of £132.90. The cleanser and tonic, in particular, have been mainstays for many devoted followers of the brand for years. Nevertheless, as with any collection, it's worth pondering whether you will use all six products before making a purchase. The Liz Earle bundle contains:. Liz Earle Cleanse and PolishTM Hot Cloth Cleanser 100ml pump + 2 cotton cloths. Liz Earle Instant BoostTM Skin Tonic 200ml. Liz Earle Skin RepairTM Hydrating Serum 30ml. Liz Earle Skin RepairTM Light Cream 100ml. Liz Earle Skin RepairTM Hydrating Night Cream 100ml. Liz Earle EyebrightTM Soothing Eye Lotion 150ml. Elsewhere, LookFantastic is offering skincare fans The Skin Renewal Edit, worth over £210, for £45, ideal for anyone who prefers a focus on anti-ageing - something the Love Island box is lacking, likely due to its target audience skewing younger. The LookFantastic edit features seven anti-ageing essentials like Dr Loretta's Intense Replenishing Serum, Clinique's De-Puffing Eye Massage, and Medik8's Crystal Retinal. Alternatively, the OK! Beauty Box boasts 11 products, 10 of which are full size – including a cult favourite Medik8 serum. Despite the total value exceeding £210, the box typically retails for £59.99. Returning to the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 100ml, the product has achieved a near perfect 4.8 star rating from customers. One commented: "Absolutely love Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, makes my skin feel so clean and most definitely clears up any underlying grease and blemishes, wouldn't use anything else." One satisfied customer shared: "I have used Cleanse and Polish for many years now. It has a lovely creamy texture and removes all dirt and makeup effortlessly." However, not everyone was impressed. One shopper expressed disappointment, stating: "I bought this thinking it would make me feel like I had a deep facial cleanse, but it doesn't leave me feeling fresh and glowing, it just might not suit my skin so I will be sticking to my original cleanser." Another loyal user said: "I've been using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish for 18 years, over this time I have tried multiple different cleansers but always go back to Liz Earle. Nothing on the market compares, Both my girls use it too." If you're intrigued by the product but would prefer a smaller investment or more customised routine, Liz Earle's "Build Your Own Skincare Routine" option or single product purchases might be more suitable, though these aren't part of the current discount. Alternatively, for those really keen to invest in Liz Earle products, their advent calendar launched at Boots this week. It's priced at £175 and contains products worth more than £500.

Boots offering 'early access' to sell out No7 beauty calendars ahead of Christmas
Get exclusive early access to the sell-out No7 advent calendars and two brand new additions. It might be still early in the year, but there's a major holiday on the horizon. We're not talking Halloween or Bonfire Night, but Christmas. While we know it might be a little early to mention the dreaded 'C' word just now, there's no denying that retailers are eagerly anticipating a busy period before it inevitably sneaks up on us. How do we know this? Well Boots just opened up the waiting list for its advent calendar selection this year, giving shoppers the chance to get early access to its range of advent calendar almost a full three months before we hit December. The health and beauty chain's calendars are highly coveted every year, with this year's waiting list offering exclusive 48-hour early access to its bestselling No7 advent calendars that always sell out. This includes the lavish No7 Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar that remains one of the firm's most extravagant options during the festive period, and this year's offering looks better than ever. Before we get into what we know so far, it's worth noting that other retailers opening up waiting lists ahead of the festive period include Holland and Barret and Lookfantastic. While we don't have all the details yet, we can confirm that Boot's 2025 calendar is set to be packed with 25 full-sized products from the brand's bestselling ranges including anti-ageing Future Renew to its limited edition Pro-Artist cosmetics. Overall, the entire worth of the contents is said to come to over £530, but it comes with a price-tag of just £175, offering beauty fanatics a staggering saving of £355 in total on some top-rated products. The exact same calendar last year came with the same price-tag, but was worth a little bit less at £514.39, which means the 2025 calendar will provide some extra savings for shoppers. Like previous years, the Ultimate Calendar looks to be packaged within a beautiful box that can also double up as storage for cosmetics, makeup and accessories. Ultimate Calendar aside, the waiting list also covers the equally popular No7 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar that will house indulgent award-winning beauty and skincare items that will be worth over £238, but cost just £60 overall. To ensure beauty fans don't miss out on the sell-out No7 calendars, they can sign up with their details on the Boots website now to get the chance to bag it early before they go on general sale online on Thursday, September 4. They'll also get the chance to win an exclusive pre-sale discount, alongside the chance to win a Secret Escapes voucher that is worth an incredible £400. Beauty deal of the week Get multiple benefits for the skin by taking advantage of this 53 percent discount on the unique L'Oreal Paris serum. The firm's breakthrough Age Defying Serum Le Duo provides the benefits of two serums in just one pump, being the only bottle on the market to target firmness, radiance and the appearance of wrinkles. Right now, it can be yours for just £17.95 when bought on Amazon. Since a 30ml bottle usually retails £37.99, it offers an incredible £20 saving - but the deal will only be around for a limited time. This dual-function serum has been hailed as "a breakthrough innovation from L'Oréal labs", with the beloved brand suggesting it has been clinically proven to "reverse up to five years of wrinkles." In one chamber, there is a collagen Peptide Booster to rebuild firmness and smooth out wrinkles, while the other boasts powerhouse vitamins B3 and C to reignite radiance and even out skin tone. Said to be suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, this serum has been lauded for its "non greasy" texture that doesn't leave any residue on the skin or cause that dreaded 'pilling' when combined with other skincare products. Boasting a 4.3 rating in total, one review read: "A second satisfied customer said: "This serum is a game-changer! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smoother, and visibly radiant. A luxurious treat that's worth every drop." Don't miss Amazon's 53 percent discount on the Age Defying Serum Le Duo (30ml) that is now £17.95, down from £37.99. And Boots hasn't stopped there, as the health and beauty chain is set to launch two new 24-day calendars this year - with both offering a staggering saving of 76 percent in total. There will be the 24 Beauty Stars Luxury Advent Calendar that is packed premium treats that are worth over £600, but costs just £150. Meanwhile, the 24 Days of Skin Advent Calendar will be worth over £285, but cost a much more affordable £70. Similar to the No7 options, shoppers can sign up for early access on the Boots website, although they will only get 24-hours early access to the calendars on Tuesday, September 9 before the general sale opens on Wednesday, September 10. Don't miss early access to Boots' No7 Advent Calendars and the new 24-day Advent Calendars by signing up to the waiting list now.
