If your beauty arsenal could do with restocking or you’re ready to switch up your make-up, skincare or haircare routine, now’s the perfect time to do so, as the annual Boots January sale is here.

The high street retailer is already offering shoppers massive discounts of up to 50 per cent across a range of categories online but things are about to get even better.

Every year, Boots concludes its usual sale by increasing its already impressive savings up to 70 per cent off, making it a highly anticipated event that many beauty lovers mark in their diaries to ensure they don’t miss out.

In previous years, the further reductions have included some of our all-time favourite products from big-name brands – think Pixi, Fenty Beauty, Mac and even Gucci.

So, what can we expect this time around? From the sale’s start date to the discounts you can snap up right now, here’s everything we know so far about the mammoth event.

When is the Boots 70 per cent off sale?

Boots is yet to confirm an official start date for its 70 per cent off sale, but it typically takes place towards the end of January. The exact date it launches differs slightly each year, so make sure to keep checking back here for more updates.

Due to lockdown restrictions in 2021, the event was delayed and instead took place in April, with discounts only available in stores and not online.

However, we expect that 2022 will see the return of the sale’s normal schedule.

What discounts will be available?

Boots is very generous with its deals, with products reduced by up to 70 per cent. Last year’s sale saw discounts on some household names such as L’Oreal, Ted Baker, Yankee Candle and Boots’s own No7 brand.

As the sale has not yet started, it’s not clear exactly what savings will be on offer, but we expect there will be plenty of bargains to be had across beauty.

What are some of the best deals to shop now?

If you can’t wait, the good news is that Boots is currently offering up to 50 per cent off thousands of products across luxury make-up and perfume. Below we’ve curated a round-up of the products we think are definitely worth adding to your basket now.

RiRi’s cosmetics brand is one of our favourites here at IndyBest, featuring in a number of our round-ups from the best bronzers to skin tints. Now, Boots has slashed the price of this gift set of gloss bomb lip luminzers, which we rated “universally flattering” in our round-up of the best lip glosses for the perfect pout. “Scented with an addictive peach-vanilla fragrance, this would be a staple even if it didn’t look amazing,” said our reviewer. “But thankfully, it does.”

The set also includes a full-size gloss bomb cream colour drip lip cream in a never-before-seen shade. In our review of the formula, our tester said it “toes the line brilliantly between a richly pigmented lipstick and a gloss, maintaining the high shine of a glossy product without ending up claggy or uncomfortable”.
