If you’re after a Mother's Day beauty box in time for March 30, then now is the time to buy, as these tend to sell out. We got our hands on a number of boxes this year to give you our honest opinion on whether they are worth your money – and, of course, consider whether they are a genuinely useful and covetable gift for the mum figure in your life. Next , Lookfantastic, and Marks and Spencer all offer curated collections, as does another high-street stalwart: Boots.
We all know and love Boots for its huge selection of affordable and high-end beauty brands. The contents of its Mother's Day offering are worth £221.50, but the box only costs £55 – a saving of £166.
50, more than both Next and Lookfantastic’s boxes. The Boots box contains skincare, fragrance, hair treatments, and makeup. For my review, I opened the box, tested the products, and considered the whole package gift-worthy for Mother's Day.
I took into consideration the appearance of the box when it first arrived, the contents and how the packaging looked and felt – to decide if it would be well-received as a gift. I opened up and tested each product individually, to assess who they'd work for, whether they're good additions to the box, and to experience the quality of each. To assess overall value for money I noted the quality of the box itself and weighed it up the cost against the size and value of the products inside.
As with all Boots orders, you can get free delivery when you spend £25 or more, whic.
