With so many beauty sales happening right now (we’re looking at you, Amazon Prime Day) it can be overwhelming to sift through all the best beauty deals up for grabs. Whilst Amazon is great for picking up a steal on French pharmacy favourites and hair tools (and yes, I may be eyeing up an Airfryer too) the brands available are certainly not as extensive as other beauty retailers.
That’s why I’ve got my eyes on Look Fantastic’s Big Beauty Takeover sale this week—which has tonnes of brands up to 50% off across skincare, makeup, hair and more. It’s running between 11 and 16 July and you can even bag an extra 10% off on top of the sale discounts with the code EXTRA10. So if you need to top up on some skincare or makeup, or maybe you want to treat yourself to new hair or body products, now is the time to strike.
However, not everyone has hours on end to scroll through the beauty sale, which is why I’ve done all the hard work for you. I trawled through the entire Look Fantastic sale to find you the best beauty deals and discounts on sale right now. And, great news—so many cult products are in the sale, from the TikTok-viral Colorwow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to the budget-friendly Weleda Moisturiser that’s loved by Hailey Bieber. Scroll ahead for all of the gems I’ve shortlisted.
If you have the kind of hair that is prone to flyaways or is affected by humidity, you have to try this. Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton made it go TikTok viral when he demonstrated how it makes hair practically waterproof. After using it on a model’s hair, he proceeded to sprinkle on water droplets, and they just rolled off. You simply saturate your hair when damp and blow-dry to activate the product, which creates a seal around the hair that smoothes, adds shine and lasts even after a couple of shampoos, so you don’t need to use it every time you dry your hair.
This is the go-to SPF for so many people. It has an ultra-lightweight consistency that doesn’t leave that dreaded white cast—it really is invisible. It works brilliantly on all skin types, too.
If you’re yet to try this moisturiser, this is your sign. I see this being used by makeup artists backstage all the time, and it’s also a celebrity favourite too, with fans including Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham. It’s a nourishing moisturiser that leaves skin indulgently hydrated whilst also making a great base for makeup. It’s a staple in any makeup artist’s kit at fashion week.
This fragrance-free SPF has been getting glowing reviews since it launched for it’s feather-light texture that melts into the skin undetectably whilst providing broad spectrum SPF 50. It’s a great affordable SPF that you’ll reach for daily.
Those in the know will recognise this Nudestix blush—Sofia Richie Grainge’s makeup artist Pati Dubroff used a couple of the shades for her wedding makeup. They have varying discounts, but this Crimson Lover shade comes with a £12 saving, and is a beautiful blusher colour to take you into autumn.
Makeup application and hot summer commutes do not go hand in hand, but a good setting spray can help keep everything in place. I’ve recently run out of this classic from Urban Decay, which really does keep everything on lock. It’s great for making your makeup last well into the evening, too.
This is one of Kérastase’s most-loved products because it leaves hair so soft and shiny. I’m well overdue a haircut, but this has been keeping my ends looking healthy in between salon appointments. It’s great at smoothing flyaways, or you can even use it more generously as a pre-shampoo treatment for extra gloss and lustre.
I’ve never been so quick to add something to my basket. If you have sensitive skin and are yet to try Kate Somerville’s Goat Milk Cleanser, I’d encourage you to give it a go. It has a creamy, almost whipped texture that removes makeup ever so gently without leaving compromised skin inflamed. This bundle also comes with the DeliKate Recovery Cream (worth £69 alone) so it’s a no-brainer if you’re in need of new skincare.
A lot of facial self-tanners fail to impress me, but this one passes with flying colours. It’s a hyaluronic acid serum with self tan, making it very hydrating and lending the skin a subtle glow, which can be built up over a couple of days to deepen the colour.
If you dye your hair or use bleach regularly, then this is a smart duo to add to your basket. This professional-grade shampoo and conditioner helps to repair the bonds in your hair that are often compromised from hair colouring services, leaving it looking healthy, bouncy and shiny.
If you find cleaning your brushes a chore that you put off each week, I implore you to give this set a try. Clean brushes mean better makeup application and fewer breakouts, and this brush cleaner does all the work for you. You attach the brush to the device and fill the bowl with the cleaning solution, then place the brush head into the liquid and flick a switch which will spin the brush to dissolve away makeup, making your brushes look good as new. You can even use the device to dry your brushes afterwards.
I recently tried a Sarah Chapman facial and was hooked on the products, so I’m picking up this summer kit which is ideal for taking away on holiday. Inside the chic pouch is a facial SPF, an SPF dedicated to the eye area and two sheet masks to leave your skin plump and glowing on your travels.
Some eyelash serums can cost a pretty penny, but Rapidlash’s is more affordable and in the sale. It promises longer and fuller-looking lashes in just eight weeks.
Scalp in need of some TLC? Christophe Robin’s Cleansing Purifying Scrub removes build-up and flakes, leaving your scalp soothed and roots cleansed and lifted.
This is a French-girl favourite (not to mention, Jennifer Aniston is also a fan) which can be used absolutely everywhere. It makes for a subtly scented body oil, which leaves limbs glowing and not too greasy, and you can also use it as a facial oil. I even know hairstylists who carry this in their kitbags to add gloss to the hair without weighing it down.
My favourite summer scent is in the sale in this chic travel-sized vial, which is perfect for slipping into those stingy plastic pouches at the airport. This smells like sunkissed skin, salty beach breezes and sunshine. Heavenly.
I’m kind of shocked to see this iconic moisturiser with such a generous discount in the sale. Everyone loves this cult Elemis cream, and for good reason—it leaves skin plumped, radiant and glowing. Whilst it is an investment purchase, this discount makes now an ideal time to top up.
Everyone goes nuts for this hair mask, which brings even the most damaged and compromised hair back from the brink. It’s a must to have on stand-by if you use heat on your hair or colour it regularly.
