The right beauty routine is like a well-curated wardrobe – each piece adds something essential, whether it's a nourishing serum, a volumising hair mask or a glow-giving body oil. From your make-up bag to your shower shelf, investing in quality products can make all the difference. But let’s be real: with premium picks like Olaplex, Mac and Elemis often carrying hefty price tags, curating your dream routine can feel like a luxury splurge.

The retailer also runs regular flash sales, focused on popular categories like haircare or some of our favourite tried and tested brands such as Lancôme, Kérastase and Bobbi Brown. Right now, you can get up to 60 per cent off skincare, make-up, fragrance and more using the link above.

This is the first at-home treatment that Olaplex released, designed to repair bonds from the inside out, and its one of our favourites. In our IndyBest Olaplex review, beauty expert Eva Waite-Taylor praised how the no.3 hair perfector left her hair “visibly more shiny” and called it a “really effective at-home solution.” It’s currently reduced by 20 per cent at Lookfantastic, and we can’t see it for much cheaper elsewhere.

Clinique’s anti-blemish solutions liquid make-up has stood the test of time – and right now, it’s 40 per cent off. In her guide to the best foundations for acne-prone skin, make-up maestro Louise Whitbread praised its featherlight texture and natural finish. “It gently neutralised redness and we didn’t see much shine on our T-zone after a whole day of wearing,” she noted. With buildable coverage that won’t clog pores, this foundation is ideal for oily or sensitive skin. It’s easy to apply with fingers, perfectly sized for travel and a reliable everyday base that both conceals and calms. What more could you want?
