I hope everyone had a great Christmas for 2013?
If you, like me were already thinking about the sales before Boxing Day had began you will know there are some amazing deals out there to be snapped up. The tough part really is deciding what you can afford not to put in your basket.
A little deflated after all the chaos Christmas day brought I settled down with my favourite online retailers to check out the real deals which were to be had.
If you are planning to buy, or are just browsing, I have compiled some of my favourite picks from the winter sales below which might help the tough decision process.
I asked for some more of Sam Chapman's great makeup brushes for Christmas, as I now use them daily and pick them above the more expensive brush collections - they are normally great value for money, however FeelUnique have them on sale! If you have been wanting to try a selection of new brushes for a while, this is a great price to do it at!
Not quite sure why some shades of this top rated foundation are offered at different prices (note the wording 'From £28.90..') a lot of the shades are going fast too. I have a feeling this is the last time you'll see this foundation as low in price, so it is understandable that shades are limited. It has been raved about in 2013, and I just wish I was in need of a new foundation to justify this spend. Purchase if you can as this is a subtly more reasonable price for one of the top foundations from YSL.
Whilst products like cleanser and makeup remover may not be the most exciting to get your hands on in the sales, it is the essentials which you use each day that you will be pleased you purchased.
This much acclaimed Miceller Water is hard to resist for a large size, at just over £10.00 - this stuff does go a long way.
If you really do need to de-stress after the Christmas period, then do it for half the price with Space NK. This is one of their last Laura Mercier offers left on their site, after just a couple of days of sale mania. This is a gorgeous set, with three bath / body products in the Ambre Vanille scent and on top of that you get a candle too. This is one of those special selections you use exclusively when really needed - these products deliver luxury every time and smell almost edible. Be quick with this one!
This would be a great little gift if you know someone who has had a really tough Christmas. This is a great product to start the New Year with from The Body Shop, included is a zesty revitalising shower gel, Soap, Body Polish and Body Butter - get to your nearest Body Shop to see if they have any left, as it is still on their site but no longer available.
Perhaps not for those just starting out in the world of makeup, this truly eye opening palette from Laura Mercier, contains 30 baked eye shadows, taking your eye look from pastels right to the sultry browns and blacks, in a variety of shimmer and matte finishes. This is exclusive to Selfridges, and naturally not for the sale shopper on a budget (unless you really have to have it - I'll let you off!). My eyes lit up at the sight of this, and then I realised it's still nearly £100. If you can afford it, go for it - as I am not sure we will see this in 2014.
