The purse-friendly bundles were created by Boots in collaboration with Macmillans for a charity promotion.
On her @monicamakeupxx account, the shopper did an unboxing of a number of her £2 bags and found everything from hydrating serums to lip gloss.
The first bag she opened had four products inside - a lip crayon, an eye serum, eyeliner and a day cream.
Another had nail polish, a lip gloss, and a night cream.
Monica was so impressed with the £2 bundles that she wanted to stock up on some more - and explained that she found them near the till.
She added: 'Me and my friend are debating whether to go in and get some more.
'Right, guys, I'm gonna go in and get some more. I've just got the rest of them.'
The next batch included everything from serums, matte liquid lip products, No. 7 pressed powder, a lash serum and day cream, to concealer.
She added: 'I've caught a lot of dupes, but again, this is such an amazing cause they're doing this for.
'So, I absolutely recommend you go ahead and check your Boots and see if they have it.
