Both the vanilla and chocolate taste amazing in smoothies or just with water and ice. No chalky texture at all. I have it every day." Not everyone felt the same, however, as one person wrote: "One scoop is a bit too selfish. It needs a couple for it to really make a difference in taste." "Amazing and enjoyable to drink," said another shopper.

This set, ideal for those with very dry to dry combination skin types, combines Clinique's iconic skincare essentials and popular makeup must-haves. Inside, there's a mascara and lipstick, alongside a makeup remover, toner, moisturiser and mild facial soap. As with all Clinique products, everything included is allergy tested and 100% fragrance-free, making it a perfect choice for sensitive skin. In other beauty deals, though, this Estée Lauder Nighttime Experts Advanced Night Repair Skincare Gift Set is worth £113 but is down to £55.20 at Debenhams. Meanwhile, LookFantastic has the Dermatological Skincare edit for £50, which is worth £170. Back at Boots, the Clinique set has earned a rating of 4.5 stars based on over 600 reviews, although many of these have been taken from the individual products for an average score. That said, numerous customers have praised the actual set as 'fantastic value' and have been 'delighted with the results', reports the Daily Record. One reviewer raved: "Fantastic value kit. I used the skincare as a teen and decided to revisit it after four decades! It's just as good now as it ever was, makes me wonder why I stopped using it." Another fan added: "I have been using my skincare for five weeks with the face wash, toner and dramatically different cream and am delighted with the results. Friends have even asked me if I've had 'some work' done." "Excellent value for money. Having used the 3 step routine for many years this collection is exquisite and is the most economical way to purchase these products,' said a third. 'I have normal to dry skin so find this selection of Clinique skincare ideal. Includes deluxe travel size makeup as a bonus." However, some shoppers struggled with the packaging of one of the skincare items. One reviewer noted: " Great value set, fab Clinique products and all full size. The only problem is I can't open one of the bottles but this is a Clinique problem that needs to be resolved. But I'd buy again for the value." Another reviewer shared the same frustration: "The locking system of Clinique is not meant for us girlies, buy it only if you have a male in your house to open the hardest push and twist mechanism because I have not been able to use it as I can't open it myself so waste of money, its quality but the packaging needs to be worked on."
