The best thing about Boxing Day aside from the abundance of leftovers and the fact that it’s completely acceptable to lounge in your comfies all day and nurse yesterday’s food baby? The sales. More precisely – the online sales. No elbow sharpening and sardine-like shop situations, just an easy purchase at the click of a button that you can do from your sofa. Easy peasy. This year as always, the beauty sales are bringing it. Christmas sets reduced a plenty and value kits that contain your everyday favourites for a fraction of the price; there’s something for everyone, so here are the highlights…
HAIR:
Philip Kingsley The Best of Philip Kingsley Set – WAS £55, NOW £44 – from Look Fantastic. This really does feature the best of Mr Kingsley, including the Elasticizer which is all kinds of awesome for mid-to-long hair lengths.
MAKEUP:
NARS Modern Future Set – WAS £30, NOW £26.42 – from Look Fantastic. NARS? In the sale? Go, go, go! A polish, blush and lipstick for under the price of just two of the items – what a bargain.
Lipstick Queen Discovery Set – WAS £40, NOW £30 – from Look Fantastic. Three lipsticks that give you a taste for Poppy King’s range with a nude, a bold and a damn right shimmer.
Topshop Smokey Eye Set – WAS £22, NOW £10 – from Topshop. Remember this from my Christmas Gift Guide? Well now it’s coming in at under half price. Wha-whut?
YSL Multi-Usage Collectors Palette – WAS £69, NOW £34.50 – from Debenhams. One of the best deals of the bunch. 50% off is seriously a steal for this limited edition palette.
Clinique Black Honey Beauty Christmas Gift Set – WAS £25, NOW £16.66 – from Debenhams. This set pops up every Christmas, but I do love it. Four items in a deep cherry shade – lovely.
By Terry Give Me 5 Smokey Eyes Kit – WAS £96, NOW £48 – from Space NK. Five items that total up to way over £100 all perfect for doing that smudgey eye thing, including one of the Ombre Blackstars that I love.
Laura Mercier Artist’s Palette for Eyes and Cheeks – WAS £45, NOW £22.50 – from Space NK. Containing eight eyeshadows, ranging from shimmer-less to shimmer-ful, there’s also a good ol’ highlight in there, making this a good one-stop-shop for colour.
SKIN & BODY:
This Works I Have a Dream Gift Set – WAS £75, NOW £52.50 – from FeelUnique. A body oil, body cream, pillow spray and sleep-inducing candle collectively guarantee a good night’s sleep.
Origins Dr.Andrew Weil for Origins Mega Relief – WAS £60, NOW £40 – from Debenhams. It’s always tricky to suggest skincare, but this set is a good’un for sensitive souls who suffer from the odd bout of redness and with a third off is a barg.
Georgia Louise Experience Kit – WAS £82, NOW £41 – from Space NK. I annoyingly purchased this at full-price so can put this forward as a thumbs-up recommendation. The Beauty Sleep Oil is particularly a favourite.
REN Neroli Duo Gift Set – WAS £28, NOW £14 – from Space NK. This stuff smells ridiculously good and gets the job done. Though it’s a unisex scent so it may be worth hiding this in the bathroom…
Aromatherapy Associates Ultimate Bath Jewels – WAS £55, NOW £27.50 – from Space NK. Ah I do love to stock up on these Aromatherapy Associates sets in the sale. Always a steal, they never disappoint.
Laura Mercier Body & Bath Tarte Au Citron Luxe Quartet – WAS £55, NOW £27.50 – from Space NK. Everything you need for the most indulgent bath time of all time, plus the scent is seriously awesome. Sweet lemon that you’ll be tempted to eat.
Origins Mini Superstars Gift Set – WAS £35, NOW £23.45 – from John Lewis. How adorable is this? I love every single item in this set and not only would it be fab for travel, it’s great for trailing the line-up too.
TOOLS:
Clarisonic Aria Advanced Sonic Facial Cleansing System – WAS £155, NOW £108.50 – from FeelUnique. If you’ve ever wanted to dip into the Clarisonic world, now is the time to as they’re discounted everywhere – but this was the best deal I could find.
The Pro Hygiene Collection Try-Me Kit – WAS £35, NOW £26.25 – from FeelUnique. This is the one that I’m tempted to pick up. A great little kit that contains everything to keep your hands, brushes, sponges and makeup – the lot – nice and clean.
Tweezerman Paisley Mirror & Mini Slant Tweezer Set – WAS £22, NOW £15.40 – from FeelUnique. If you can tolerate the slightly gaudy print, you’re picking up an absolute bargain here as these tweezers are the best out there. Hands down.
Stephanie Johnson Sag Harbour ML Traveller – WAS £60, NOW £30 – from Space NK. This might not look like much in the picture, but a bit of googling has revealed there’s pouches and pockets galore inside. Don’t judge a makeup bag by its cover and all that.
Space NK Mediterranean Fig Candle – WAS £30, NOW £15 – from Space NK. One of my favourite candles of all time – I’m slightly worried to see this reduced – may have to do a little stock-up here.
Laura Mercier Travel Brush Collection – WAS £78, NOW £39 – from Space NK. A load of brushes that cover everything from powder to eyeshadow and every step in-between; all in a cute little clutch.
NAILS:
Nails Inc Alexa Hearts Nails Inc Collection – WAS £45, NOW £31.50 – from FeelUnique. Man, I want to pick up this too. A bag, a nail file, six colours in the new packaging, two of which are sequin-filled glitters, this set really is a beauty.
Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Happy Birthday – WAS £18, NOW £8.10 – from Beauty Bay. There’s a load of D.L polishes for sale on Beauty Bay, but this is by the far the most jazziest of them all.
OPI Nail Lacquer Trend on Ten Gift Set – WAS £29.95, NOW £14.98 – from John Lewis. Another appearance from an item that was in my Gift Guide and it’s another 50% job. Lovely stuff.
