However overall you save even more - when adding the price of the products together the set is actually valued at £115.49.
So by purchasing the Star Gift set ahead of Christmas, you're lucking out on a £66.53 saving.
Another product to join Star Gifts this week is the Lancome Hypnose Drama gift set which originally costs £31 but is now £15.81 - meaning again, you save around half.
It contains four different types of Lancome mascara in mini and full sizes, meaning you could stock up and save a lot of cash in the long run.

It's valued at £56.20 altogether - meaning you're up £40.39.
While these are tempting offers, remember to always compare prices online before you buy.

You can go to other beauty retailers' websites and look for the same product to make sure you're getting the best deal.
It's also useful to check in store, as reductions aren't always visible online.
To find your nearest Boots use the Store Locator tool on the website.
What are Star Gifts?
Star Gifts are all the latest deals and offers recommended by Boots as Christmas present must-haves.
Boots says on its website: "Browse our selection of gifts and discover everything from stocking fillers, to showstoppers that won’t break the bank.
"After all, Christmas is all about the savings as much as the sparkle."
Offers began dropping back in September and will run until Christmas.
New deals have dropped every two weeks in the build-up to the big day.
There are now 109 options to browse from on the Boots website, and some existing deals are even better than half-price.
The Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu perfume is down a whopping £53 from its original price at just £47.
Customers can also buy a complete No. 7 collection for £39 - which is £46 cheaper than its original price of £85.
And if you're shopping for men, the BOSS 100ml Eu de Toilette is down to just £57 from its original price of £84.

How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
How to find Christmas bargains
Shopping online is a great way to save money on Christmas shopping - you can browse multiple stores at once to see which have the best deals.
You can compare prices using sites such as Trolley.co.uk or HotUKDeals.com.
For example, if you're looking for the best deals on Christmas tubs across supermarkets, just type which one you're looking for into the search engine.
It will then display all the latest offers from different retailers.
However, remember that sometimes it's better to look in person and get a feel for what you're buying.
It's easy to overspend online when you are unable to physically see your basket filling up.
Shopping in person also means you can avoid spending extra on delivery charges.
Plus, lots of sales only happen in local stores - meaning you won't catch them online.
Keep an eye out for yellow stickers and reduction tags to spot anything selling at a lower price in last minute sales.

However - if you've not left it too late already - it's always best to keep on track with your Christmas shopping before the rush begins.
Shopping close to the deadline can lead to panic buying - or, you might end up splashing the cash on a prezzie which you don't even think is worth it.
