Buying guides

Luxury beauty promotions: compare the useful savings

Perfume, cream, lipstick and serum on pale stone and glass stands.
Unbranded beauty products accompany a guide to assessing promotional offers.

Understand the offer before focusing on its percentage

A beauty promotion may involve a code, a gift set, loyalty benefits or a bundle, and these arrangements are not directly equivalent. Check excluded brands, minimum quantities and the stated offer period. Calculate what you will actually pay for the items you want; adding unnecessary products to qualify for a discount can increase your overall spending.

Compare the exact product while the offer is available

Keep the complete product name, shade and size when checking different retailers. Offers can change quickly and may differ between a website and a physical shop. Retain the conditions shown when you purchase, and remember that samples or complimentary gifts do not resolve a poor match between the main product and your preferences.
