Savers specialise in mass market branded goods such as Olay, Radox and Eylure, but if these are your beauty wardrobe staples then rush to Savers as you can save a fortune.  They have amazingly priced beauty box sets for Christmas too.

Olay Regenerist Eye Derma-Pod is a 3-in-1 anti ageing eye product.  A little squeeze resurfaces skin's appearance, fills in lines and wrinkles and reduces puffiness.

BRAND ALLEY

Online portal with very genuine stock. However, they don’t buy it until after the sale, which means you can place your order and then be disappointed, but that’s the risk you take to get a bargain.  Brands include Tweezerman, with up to 50% off RRP.

Brand driven, TK Maxx only buys quality products and gets a great price for their consumer.  The beauty buyers are driven by quality and this store consistently delivers.  However, once it’s gone it’s gone.  Current bargains include Chanel Cristalle EDT Fragrance.  One of my favourite Chanel fragrances, Cristalle is fresh with citrus and floral tones making it the perfect everyday fragrance.

WAHANDA

Online: www.wahanda.co.uk

If you’re after a spa day treat, here’s where I’d start.  You need to choose the “50% off spa days” tab and none of the West Sussex spas are currently offering deals, but there are other spas not too far away that would make a great girlie day out, so dive in.

West Sussex Spas:  Alexander House, Ockendon Manor, Park House Hotel

TRAVELZOO

Online:  www.Travelzoo.co.uk

Mainly a travel site, I found my spa bargain of the year here.  I got an overnight stay in a beautiful 5 star spa, supper, breakfast and a treatment for two for just £59.00 in January this year– bargain of 2012!
