The ultimate gift set
Containing four full-size favourites, this Clinique beauty set is a party-season essential. Expect hydrated skin, a suits-all lipstick and a go-to eye product, the kind of everyday heroes you’ll reach for long after Christmas.
It’s worth £176, but you can get it for just £65 when you spend £40 or more on Clinique. Not sure where to start? We've rounded up our Clinique favourites worth adding to your basket.
The long-lasting hydrator
Powered by hyaluronic acid, aloe bioferment and vitamins C and E, this gel-cream moisturiser delivers up to 100 hours of hydration. It sinks in instantly, leaving skin refreshed, balanced and perfectly prepped for make-up.
The glossy colour boost
Finally, a gloss that actually feels good. Clinique's Pop Plush buttery formula coats lips with high shine and all-day hydration. Aloe, avocado and shea butters keep lips conditioned, while hyaluronic acid locks in moisture for a naturally plump finish and an easy-wear pop of colour.
The buildable volume mascara
Whether you're after subtle definition or full drama, Clinique's High Impact mascara adapts to your mood. The soft fibre brush catches every lash, adding length and volume that builds without clumping. It's perfect for sensitive eyes too.
The cult moisturiser
One of Clinique's original bestsellers, this moisturiser has earned its iconic status. The lightweight formula delivers soothing hydration while strengthening skin's moisture barrier. It absorbs quickly and restores skin's oil-water balance.
The bestselling (almost) lipstick
This Almost Lipstick blends balm-like comfort with a sheer wash of colour that adapts to your natural lip tone. Enriched with skincare-inspired ingredients like shea butter, it glides on smoothly and keeps lips hydrated. Available in on-trend berry shades, including the cult Black Honey, it’s no wonder seven are sold every minute worldwide.
The all-day setting spray
Clinique's alcohol-free setting spray locks make-up in place all day with 5% aloe water to soothe and hydrate. The fine mist creates a flexible, weightless bond that's transfer, sweat and humidity resistant. Whether you're at your desk or on the dance floor, your make-up stays put.
The feel-good fragrance
Clinique My Happy Cocoa & Cashmere takes the brand's classic Happy perfume in a cosier direction. Cocoa absolute, vanilla, and musk create a warm, comforting scent that's perfect for winter. Wear it solo or layer it with other My Happy fragrances.
The must-have set for men
Kick start his skincare routine with this travel-sized trio of must-have products. Featuring a face wash, eye cream and moisturiser, this simple yet effective kit provides all-day-long hydration for even the driest of skins.
