But Boots isn’t the only retailer dropping prices this weekend. LookFantastic is offering 50% off this Olaplex Travel Bundle – now £22.40 (was £44.80). The travel-friendly kit includes a pre-shampoo treatment, shampoo, conditioner and a mask. Cult Beauty currently has 20% off selected items, including Sol de Janeiro’s Flor Mistica Perfume Mist 90ml, now £19.20 instead of £24.
At Boots, the Lancôme Génifique Glow Getters Star Gift Set has been reduced to £32.70 from £74.75. This three-piece set features a blend of skincare and makeup must-haves – including the iconic Génifique Ultimate Serum, which alone is worth £49.
As well as the cult anti-ageing product, shoppers will be treated to a lash-enhancing mascara and hydrating lip balm for a complete glow-up with radiant, healthy-looking skin. Described as a ‘miracle’ by consumers, the Génifique Ultimate Serum is designed to repair skin damage and reduce the look of redness and fine lines.
A selection of the health and beauty chain’s own-brand No7 products have also been reduced, but one of the best value is this No7 Lift and Luminate Collection 5 Piece Gift Set, now £62.95 (worth £137.75). This sought-after collection comes packed with everything needed for a comprehensive skincare regime, boasting a day cream, night cream, eye cream, facial oil, and triple-action serum, all generously sized and offering incredible value for money.
No7 claims this range is engineered to make users “feel as youthful on the outside” as they do “on the inside.” The Lift and Luminate Day Cream is bursting with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, meticulously formulated to even out skin tone and maintain a balanced complexion. The Night Cream merges the nourishing properties of shea butter with hyaluronic acid to revitalise the skin overnight.
The Triple Action Eye Cream, brimming with ginseng extract, specifically takes aim at under-eye bags. The gift set has earned rave reviews, boasting a remarkable 4.6 out of five stars from 45 reviews on the Boots website. Users are vocal in their praise, with one delighted customer exclaiming: “Love all these products, No7 is the best on the market. Best product ever.”
For those in the market for a new hair tool to cut down on styling time this summer, the Shark FlexStyle Sparkle – Champagne Diamond Limited Edition was £299.99 but is now £269.99. The latest design gives Shark’s hair-styling marvel a dazzling upgrade, embellished with over 20,000 crystals. Housed in a sturdy storage case, this set includes a Concentrator and Diffuser for drying, along with a Paddle Brush, Oval Brush, and two advanced 32mm auto-wrap Curlers that have been improved from earlier versions to enhance hair grip even further.
The ingenious design of this tool lets you bid farewell to the desk clutter of multiple hairstyling gadgets by merging the functions of a hairdryer and curler into one device. Monitoring heat exposure 1,000 times a second, the FlexStyle ensures an even distribution of warm air whilst guarding against potential heat damage.
With its trio of heat and airflow settings, users gain meticulous command over their drying, styling, and setting processes, tailoring their hairdos to perfection. For those on the hunt for a durable hair removal option, the Philips Satinelle epilator might be the ideal choice. Now slashed to more than half its original price, this nifty gadget offers a robust yet gentle hair removal experience, promising smoother legs in “as little as 10 minutes”.
Philips’ two-year guarantee bolsters customers’ confidence, with an ergonomically designed S-shaped handle that ensures ease of use for natural and precise movements across the body. This cordless wonder is equally efficient in the bath or shower – featuring an extra-wide epilator head perfect for tackling larger areas, complemented by a shaving head and trimming comb for that ultra-close shave.
Despite its positives, some customers would prefer an attachment for smaller areas, with one remarking, ‘it is not useful for face’. It also comes with a convenient pouch, making it a breeze to stash away or take along on holiday.
There are some impressive fragrance offers, too, such as Givenchy’s Ysatis Eau de Toilette, now £54.50 for 100ml instead of £109. This alluring fragrance is sure to leave a lasting impression. Relaunched with a contemporary bottle design while maintaining its soul since its 1984 debut, the captivating EDT opens with zesty Sicilian Mandarin Essence before blooming into a lush White Floral Bouquet, finally settling into the sultry warmth of Indonesian Patchouli Essence.
Devoted Givenchy enthusiasts have claimed the floral and citrusy essences as their distinguishing aroma, with one dedicated fan stating: “I have been wearing Ysatis for over 20 years now and have no intention of stopping now. Perfume smells different on different skins but Ysatis suits mine and is suited for both day and evening wear.”
Another chimed in: “Worn this since the 80s. The bottle is not up to much but the perfume still smells lovely, but not as powerful and long lasting.”
Away from the sale, though, there are more deals to be had in the form of beauty boxes. They’re currently offering a Premium Hair Beauty Box for £45 , packed with 10 items worth around £220 designed to give you glossy, healthy locks. Alternatively, there’s a Boots Self Care Beauty Box, worth £137 for £35.
