For skincare fans, few brands are quite as iconic as Elemis. And after shoppers went wild for a QVC deal that saw them snap up £150 worth or products for £66, we’ve found an even bigger deal that saves beauty buffs over £200.
The Elemis website has launched their Black Friday sale ahead of the major shopping event, and it could see savvy shoppers scoop a number of Christmas presents and stocking fillers in one fell swoop.
The retailer is currently offering 25 per cent off selected products with the code CYBERTREAT , but what’s more is that those who spend over £120 after discount will essentially be able to ‘double their money’ by bagging a free gift worth over £120.
I’m a self-confessed bargain hunter and never pay full price for anything, maximising offers, discount codes and deals to get the most for my money. As such, I’ve done the maths and worked out a way for shoppers to get over £358 worth of Elemis products for £130 . Here’s how.
While you could use the 25 per cent off deal to restock all of your favourite Elemis products, like the Pro-Collagen Cleanser or Pro-Collagen Marine Cream , remember you’ll have to spend £150 on these items in order to actually get them for £120. You’ll then get the free gift set automatically, meaning you’ve got £270 worth of products for £120. However, there’s a way to get even bigger discounts.
I like to look for items that are already making savings, and usually this time of year sees lots of money-saving gift sets. While these are excluded from the 25 per cent discount, the savings are still a lot bigger than buying products individually.
The Prep, Prime & Glow Gift contains products to the tune of £112 , but shoppers only pay £65, already saving around 42 per cent on the RRP. The kit contains five products, including the hydrating and anti-ageing Pro-Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm, exfoliating Dynamic Resurfacing duo and nourishing Superfood moisturisers, all packaged in an exclusive Elemis travel bag to store your beauty favourites.
Inside the Prep, Prime and Glow gift for £65 :
Pro-Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm 50g
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash 30ml
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads x 14
Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser 60ml – Full Size
Superfood Midnight Facial 15ml
Exclusive Travel Bag / Make-Up Bag
Renowned for its unique transformative texture, Pro-Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm is fragrance-free, melts away makeup, daily pollutants, and impurities. It can be used safely around the eyes and is a great option for all skin types, including sensitive.
LookFantastic shoppers have been raving about it, commenting: “This is my second purchase of this balm, I go for the naked balm due to having sensitive skin. It’s such a beautiful texture on the skin and removes all traces of make up. It’s such good value for money and especially when you get the cloth with every balm. It lasts such a long time as very little is needed, it goes such a long way!”
Another added: “This is gorgeous to use, especially if you have sensitive skin. Fragrance free and gets rid of makeup in one go. Love it!” Though as with most skincare products, it wasn’t for everyone, with one adding: “This cleansing balm makes my skin feel soft and nourished but also a bit greasy.”
Then there’s The Jetsetters Edit, which contains £126 worth of products for £65 . The travel-approved head-to-toe luxury set features six advanced face and body formulas, again complete with an Elemis travel bag.
Inside The Jetsetters Edit:
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 20g
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 15ml
Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask 4ml
Superfood Facial Oil 5ml
Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream 100ml
Frangipani Monoi Body Cream 100ml
Exclusive Travel Bag
The Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is definitely a hero product in this one, said to improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity for a complexion that looks ‘smooth and rejuvenated., while the Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask minimises the look of wrinkles around the eyes, whilst targeting the look of puffiness and dark circles.
After these two sets - which have the biggest saving percentage of most of the Elemis gifts - are added to your basket, you’ll automatically get the free gift with purchase, worth ‘over £120’, though an exact figure isn’t specified.
The set features seven additional Elemis travel-sized skin saviours, including:
Pro-Collagen Night Cream
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
Superfood Midnight Facial
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash
Pro-Collagen Vitality Eye Cream
As you can see, there are some duplicates when you get all three sets together, but if you’re gifting them to different people, that won’t matter a jot.
And while not talking specifically about the Elemis gifts, Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert’s site has previously said that beauty bundles like this one are a ‘great way to save money ’ and with Christmas coming up, could be a smart way to shop for stocking fillers while making major savings.
The MSE team said: “Beauty bundles can be a great way to save money on your favourite brands, or try new products without having to shell out full-price. They're also a brilliant way to shop for presents, as you can split up a bundle to make your own beauty boxes or hampers to gift.”
This means if you were going to divide them up as stocking fillers, you could even keep some for yourself.
Other beauty hauls prime for this money-saving tip include the Boots Showstopper Best of Beauty star gift, which gets you nearly £330 worth of gifts for £80 , and the Liz Earle beauty advent calendar, now £60 down from £75, which is worth around £170.
But with these three items, shoppers would pay £130 and scoop up around £358 worth of skincare goodies. You can shop the Elemis Black Friday sale here.
