Shoppers are racing to Superdrug after being alerted to mega make-up bargains[/caption] One shopper nabbed a YSL Beauty highlighter for just 10p[/caption]Leanne Parker said it was her “best bargain ever”.
She took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to alert other shoppers to her unbelievable find.
She picked up the YSL Beauty Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen – which typically retails for £31.
Not only that, but the heart and arrow design on the box – which holds the bright yellow sticker confirming it’s 10p price tag – means she’s picked up a limited edition pen.
“Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen instantly helps to brighten your best facial features without shimmer or glitter, giving a natural, luminous finish,” YSL Beauty bosses said.
“Our light-diffusing technology adds light and radiance to the face.
“Apply to areas where there is natural shadow or depth to illuminate and improve dullness or reduce the signs of fatigue.
“It makes your face appear more vibrant and healthy.
“Consider it your secret weapon to conquer the art of complexion.”
According to Leanne, it was proudly sitting on the clearance shelf in her local Superdrug.
Fellow savvy shoppers dubbed her find “the bargain of the year” and were in utter disbelief at the price of the product.
“I’m walking to Superdrug before work tomorrow,” one vowed.
“Were you paying for just the empty box?” another perplexedly asked.
“That is such a great find.”
IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes?
Here’s five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but for a fraction of the price.
FACE BASE: If you can’t afford Charlotte Tilbury‘s £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug?
TONE IT UP: If Drunk Elephant’s £62 Protini moisturiser is out of your price range, you’ll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains.
TINTING IT: With Fenty’s ‘game-changer’ skin tint costing an eye-watering £29, a popular supermarket’s affordable alternative might just be the thing for you.
GET COVERED: At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50.
SPRAY YAY: For those wanting to smell fresh, without the price tag, Aldi’s new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.
Most Superdrug stores have a pink display case full of yellow sticker bargains.
When things don’t sell from the clearance area, staff will drop the price to pennies to shift it quicker.
If you can hunt down the clearance shelves or display when in-store, you might be onto a winner for designer make-up slashed to pennies.
According to the Superdrug website, it also has a number of Michael Kors perfumes reduced in price.
