Boots launches 48-hour flash beauty sale on No7, MAC, designer perfume and more

Boots has launched a flash sale across thousands of its most popular cosmetic products - but you'll have to be quick if you want to take advantage of the lower prices.

Shoppers can get 20% off on selected luxury beauty and fragrance lines over on the Boots website just for today and tomorrow, Wednesday, May 17 and Thursday, May 18. The sale features dozens of popular brands including Clinique, Elemis, Estee Lauder, Fenty, MAC and No7.

Customers can get their skincare essentials in for less, such as cleansers, moisturisers, eye creams and serums, as well as topping up their make-up bag with new lipstick, mascara, eyeshadow palettes and highlighters for 20% off. And over in the fragrance department, some big designer names have had their perfume prices slashed including Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs and Versace.

Selected gift sets have also been reduced for the next 48 hours, so you can stock up for birthdays and Christmas or snap up a treat for yourself at a lower price. Here are eight of the bestselling gift bundles included in the Boots sale, from cheapest to priciest:

Among the top sale picks curated by Boots is the No7 Lash Extender Mascara, which is now priced at £11.16 reduced from £13.95, and shoppers can also currently get 3 for 2 on selected No7 when they shop online. However, the mascara has divided shoppers, with just over 50% saying they would recommend it.

One of the 50 people who awarded the mascara the full five stars said: "It really makes my lashes look much longer and fuller." However, one of the 35 shoppers who gave it just one star disagreed, writing: "Every time I use it I end up with it smudged beneath my eyes and look like a panda."

Another of Boots' top picks in the flash sale is the Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Toilette 50ml, which has had its price slashed from £75 to £60. The floral fragrance has impressed shoppers, with over 99% saying that they would recommend it to a friend and a rating of 4.4 stars out of five overall.

And finally, a third popular products picked out by Boots as a highlight of the sale is the exclusive MAC Squirt Plumping Gloss Stick, now costing £17.60 instead of its full price of £22. The lip-plumping gloss has a rating of 4.5 stars from shoppers, with fans describing it as "amazing", "lovely" and "a great product".

You can browse the full flash sale range over on the Boots website. And the retailer isn't the only place on the high street where you can currently shop your favourite beauty buys for less.

Superdrug has also launched a huge sale across toiletries, make-up, fragrance and gift sets, including money off popular brands like Revolution, Sanctuary, Simple and Nivea. You can shop the Superdrug beauty sale online here.
