Makeup gift sets are not just for Christmas - and they will save you a fortune

Makeup gift sets are very much for the savvy shopper who wants to get their favourite makeup and skincare for way cheaper

Lots of beauty brands regularly release sets or makeup gift sets. Sometimes they are made up of a couple of best selling products along with trial size extras, but other times they are just a pack of full-size products that work out at up to 50% cheaper!

Brands don't always highlight the exact savings so if you don't buy the products regularly you wouldn't realise the potential value to be had. We are thrifty shoppers here at Beaut, so we are always on the look out for great deals. We have found a few sets currently on offer that will save you a small fortune.

Clarins Holiday Beautiful Eyes 2017 €26

This set is the same price as a Clarins Supra Volume mascara on its own. You get a free eye makeup remover and makeup bag with your mascara.

Bobbi Brown Online exclusive Party Eye Set Makeup Gift Sets €54.50

This one has a full-size gel liner along with liner brush and trial sizes of mascara and eye makeup remover. The set is worth €74 so you make a saving of €20.50. Happy days. It's also a great way to try out different products without investing in the full size for the first time.

Charlotte Tilbury The Ingenue Set in a Box €185

This set has lots of Charlotte Tilbury favourites inside. You save €6 by buying the set and get a free makeup bag. At the moment, there is also a free gift with this set! If you are going to spend the spondoolies on Charlotte Tilbury - which is not cheap, by the way - you may as well get a little extra for your money.

MAC Summer Essentials Colour Collection €55 worth €81

This is a Bargain with a capital B! It's got a full size In Extra Dimension waterproof mascara, the best eyeshadow base ever and a gorgeous nude eyeshadow palette. Not only that but you get a free gift of three MAC essentials with it. Get it now or forever hold your pennies.

Bargains like this can be found all year round. Don't always presume an offer is too good to be true. Sometimes it really is that good.
