Finding the perfect gift for the beauty lover in your life can be quite the challenge. Sure, there's no shortage of mascaras, moisturisers and blushes out there, but when you're dealing with a picky makeup queen, why not gift them over £328 worth of must-have beauty buys that they are bound to love, all for just £80. How could you go wrong?

Intrigued? If you haven't guessed already, we're talking about one of our all-time favourite festive gift sets: the annual Boots Showstopper Beauty Box. Just like the best beauty advent calendars, the once-a-year Boots beauty box is a great opportunity to try a whole host of cult brands without committing to full-size prices. You'll be discovering some of our long-time favourites – including heroes from REN and Liz Earle – as well as some make-up gems to see you through the festive season and beyond.

Last year, on the day of launch, one box sold every 30 seconds, so if you don't want to risk missing out on the retailer's best Christmas offering, we'd suggest 'adding to cart' now.

There are too many strong contenders to possibly pick favourites, but our wandering eyes have spotted some industry classics that we just have to talk about.

The Too Faced Born This Way The Natural Nudes Skin-Centric Eyeshadow Palette is worth £48 alone. With 16 modern nude eye shadows in a combination of matt, shimmer, metallic and sparkle, you can create a range of flattering eye make up looks. Plus, this year's Boots Beauty Showstopper includes a voucher for a Benefit brow wax.

If you haven't yet discovered cult skincare brand The Ordinary, you can try a full size Multi-Peptide and HA serum from their range, which combines a comprehensive array of technologies to improve skin smoothness and target multiple signs of aging at once.

While there certainly are some standout heroes we can't wait to unwrap, all in all, this year's beauty box is packed with big-name brands that everyone is bound to enjoy – so we should point out that it makes a welcome Christmas present for someone you love (or equally, a treat for yourself). However, you must be speedy as it's highly unlikely this one will be lingering on the shelves for long.

If you want to keep the mystery alive until you pull back its doors, then look away now, but if you just can't hold off, here's everything you’ll find inside:
