I found posh beauty buys for PENNIES in my local Sainsbury’s – Olay moisturiser was 50p and £16 designer primer cost 53p
IF you live near a big Sainsbury’s, you’ll know that the health and beauty aisles can be a treasure trove.
There’s cult-loved Olay products, full L’Oreal skincare ranges, Garnier sheet masks and even pricier brands like Super Facialist.
Typically, you’re looking at prices of £5 to £30 for these products.
But thanks to a clearance sale in Sainsbury’s, you can pick some of these products up for PENNIES.
Angelika Barczyk took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to share what she found in the Lambeth, London store.
She found the Garnier Moisture Bomb Hyaluronic Acid And Orange Juice Hydrating Brightening Eye Sheet Mask down from £3.50 to just 18p.
“Our masks contain natural plant extracts and hyaluronic acid to plump skin with moisture, reduce the look of fine lines and revive radiance for skin that glows,” Garnier bosses said.
Similarly, the Garnier Moisture Bomb Hyaluronic Acid And Coconut Water Eye Sheet Mask was slashed from £3.50 to 53p.
“For tired and puffy eyes showing the first signs of ageing, this sheet mask enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Coconut Water will leave the skin looking smoother, firmer and feeling revitalised,” bosses added.
Angelika also unearthed the L’Oreal Revitalift Filler Replumping Gel Face Wash, now 72p down from £6.
Next to that was the Olay Regenerist Niacinamide Day Cream – down to £5.70 from a whopping £38.
And next to that was the Olay Total Effects SPF 30, 7 in 1 Anti-Ageing Moisturiser for a mere 50p, down from £16.50.
“It is formulated with proven anti-ageing ingredients to help keep skin at its youthful, radiant best,” Olay bosses said.
“It contains VitaNiacin Complex with Vitamin B3, C and E that help exfoliate to enhance your skin’s surface natural self-renewal process for healthier-looking skin.
“It delivers a high level of UVA/UVB protection with Broad Spectrum SPF 30 in a surprisingly fast-absorbing and non-greasy facial moisturiser.”
The real star of the show was Super Facialist products slashed by over 95%.
How To Save Money On Beauty Buys
IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes?
Here’s five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but for a fraction of the price.
FACE BASE: If you can’t afford Charlotte Tilbury‘s £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug?
TONE IT UP: If Drunk Elephant’s £62 Protini moisturiser is out of your price range, you’ll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains.
TINTING IT: With Fenty’s ‘game-changer’ skin tint costing an eye-watering £29, a popular supermarket’s affordable alternative might just be the thing for you.
GET COVERED: At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50.
SPRAY YAY: For those wanting to smell fresh, without the price tag, Aldi’s new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.
Super Facialist is a high performance, scientific skincare brand.
Sainsbury’s had slashed its Hydrate Miracle Makeover Facial Oil from £16 to just 88p.
Similarly, its Vitamin C+ Dark Circles Eye Cream was £1.20, down from £14.
The biggest bargain was the Super Facialist Skin Perfecting Primer for just 53p, down from £16.
