How to find the best beauty deals
Our Head of Ecommerce Millie has been a shopping writer for nearly five years. She's tried hair tools from leading brands including Shark and Dyson and is always on the hunt for the best products to treat her curly hair.
Let's be honest, seeing that red percentage discount is enough to sway most of us but when it comes to sales events, sometimes its not always about how much money you're saving and instead about the quality of the product you’re investing in. Whether you're saving £5 or £50, every penny counts - especially once you’ve popped all your regular essentials into your basket, the savings are sure to add up. As for making the most of deals, it's wise to add up how much your go-to beauty products usually set you back to see whether you’re actually bagging yourself a good deal, before you hit purchase.
While beauty sales only happen on the rare occasion, when they do you can expect to see some significant savings. That said, if you've eyed up a decent discount, don't spend too long toying with they idea as they disappear quickly. For any savvy shoppers that are after some beauty bargains, be sure to bookmark this guide as we'll be keeping you updated with the very best deals on offer...
