Currently available at Boots is the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Multitasking Masters 4 Piece Gift Set, which normally retails for £75.80, but is now reduced to a more budget-friendly £27. This price is already lower than the Eight Hour Cream on its own, but when you divide the new £27 price tag by the four full-sized items included, each piece works out at £6.75.

Included in the set are a full-sized Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant Multitasking Cream, a full-sized Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15, a full-sized All-Over Miracle Oil for Face, Body, and Hair, and a 30ml Eight Hour Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment.

The Multitasking Masters gift set, which features the four iconic choices from the Eight Hour Cream collection, promises to deliver head-to-toe healing. The Skin Protectant calms, hydrates, and polishes the skin with its award-winning balm-like formula, while the all-weather Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 soothes, softens, and protects lips from UV rays, preventing chapping.

The set also includes the fast-absorbing Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment, which reverses dryness, roughness and cracking, treating weather-exposed skin with a non-greasy feel, which is a must-have this time of year when skin is feeling the change in temperature; and the ultra-lightweight All-Over Miracle Oil For Face, Body, and Hair is set to work all day long to deliver intensive moisture and radiance complemented by an uplifting fragrance.

Though this gift set doesn’t have any reviews of its own, the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is a firm favourite among royals and skincare shoppers alike. Currently boasting over 3000 5-star reviews at Boots, where it’s discounted to £24.80, this skin has received plenty of praise.

One buyer beams: “Soft and silky feeling left on skin after using this moisturiser at night. It works not just on the skin, but also on the lips, and can be used as an eyebrow gel. Super easy to use, the packaging is great.”

Another shopper gushes: “This product has saved my extremely dry skin and lips. I love it.”

And a third chimes in: “My skin gets so dry, particularly in the winter. I love the versatility of this product. It makes skin glow and hydrates immediately. I use it on my face, hands, chest, and elbows.”

Though it’s worth noting a couple of buyers have commented on the cream’s fragrance, with one writing: “I was really impressed with the effectiveness of the Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, especially during harsh cold weather. My lips were extremely chapped, and after applying it before bed, I noticed a significant improvement overnight—they felt soothed and much more hydrated by morning. The texture is smooth and comforting, providing an immediate sense of relief. While the scent wasn’t my favourite, it’s a minor drawback compared to how well it works. The packaging is also a plus—sleek, practical, and easy to carry around. Definitely a must-have for winter skincare!”

Beauty queen Victoria Beckham has garnered heaps of praise for her best-selling eyeliner range at Victoria Beckham Beauty, with makeup enthusiasts and celebs alike raving about its pigment, blendability and staying power.

This eye makeup staple has been receiving rave reviews from shoppers and remains a bestseller. However, it’s not just the public who are fans, as numerous celebrities have also expressed their affection for this eyeliner.

Claudia Winkleman is one known fan of the Satin Kajal Liner, swearing by Victoria Beckham’s eyeliner to create her signature eye look. Courtney Cox is the latest star to join the list of those singing the praises of this liner. But Victoria herself is arguably the biggest fan of her hit eyeliner, wearing it on a regular basis to create her signature smoky eye look.

Victoria Beckham herself comments on the liner, writing: “I love to experiment with colour. You see it in my fashion line, where I play with colour-blocking and balance modern brights with nuanced neutrals. I look at Satin Kajal Liner through the same lens. And there are endless ways to use these—along your lashline, in your waterline, create a wing or smudge it out. They’re highly pigmented and so soft and creamy.”

The Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner is available in a total of 21 other shades, including navy, bronze, burgundy, and more unusual hues like mint green. Shoppers can choose from matte, shimmer, and jewel finishes, and each liner costs £32, either directly from her website or at Selfridges.

The VB eyeliner is ideal for achieving Posh Spice’s signature smudged effect, which channels the 90s smoky eye Victoria has sported since her girl band days. It features a silky texture that glides on effortlessly without any tugging or dragging. You can use it to craft a precise, defined line or blend and blur it out to achieve a more effortless appearance.

According to Victoria Beckham Beauty’s website, you can create a sensual eye by: “Gliding the Satin Kajal Liner along the lash line and waterline. Use the smudger for a lived-in effect on both the top and bottom lids. Don’t be afraid to go for bold and experiment with unexpected colours”. To create a sharper, more defined look, “Maintain a fine point for precise application. We recommend the Victoria Beckham Beauty luxury sharpener, which you can add complimentary to your order. Gently press the pencil tip up against the blade as you twist the pencil to sharpen.”

It’s also infused with nourishing ingredients which suit all skin types, and the liner is entirely smudge-resistant and waterproof, so once you’ve perfected your look, it’ll remain flawless all day. The eyeliner has also been formulated to be vegan and completely cruelty-free.

The premium eyeliner guarantees “low maintenance glamour” with just one sweep across the eyelid, whilst also providing versatility and adaptability that means your new eyeliner can effortlessly complement any eye look you desire. And with grunge makeup staging a comeback, these gems are ideal for that dishevelled, blurred style that won’t shift for the remainder of the day.

And it’s not just celebrities who adore this award-winning eyeliner from Posh Spice’s brand, as the 5-star reviews keep rolling in. One thrilled customer gushes: “Absolutely in love with the Kajal liner. Glides on like velvet.”

Another chimes in: “This eyeliner goes on smooth and smudges great. Once it sets, it stays in place all day. The colour is really pretty also.”

A third satisfied shopper beams: “This is the best eyeliner I have ever used. It’s easy to put on and lasts all day. The sharpener is a great tool too.”

A fourth beauty enthusiast writes: “Beautiful colour and probably the best liner I have ever bought. Stays without smudge all day.”

Yet another reviewer added: “I’ve been using this soft, long-lasting eyeliner for a while now, and I’m absolutely hooked! The formula is smooth and glides on effortlessly, making it super easy to create a variety of looks. It stays put all day without smudging or fading, even during those long days. The colour payoff is fantastic, and it’s really easy to build up the intensity. And let’s not forget about the packaging! It’s sleek and stylish, making it a pleasure to use.”

However, one gave a three-star rating, commenting: “The eyeliner goes on like a dream but you have to be careful not to get it into your waterline otherwise it transfers under the eyes. I end up with blue/purple looking panda eyes after a few hours. To prevent this I have to apply very carefully and it blunts the pencil quickly. I never got this with my No7 kohl liner.”
