It isn’t even Christmas yet and already there are a wealth of sale items available if you know where to look.  I’ve spent the last few hours having a good hunt around to see if there’s anything worth checking out, so here’s what I’ve come up with:

There are some *serious* bargains to be had at the Harrods sales which just launched today.  There’s a lot of Sisley and Giorgio Armani with some really good savings, plus a few key pieces from Laura Mercier, such as the set above which is reduced from £75 to £37.50

There are quite a few varnishes down to a fiver at the moment – and not just rubbish shades as is often the case in early sales – as well as The In Crowd Collection which is now just £25.  If you’re in need of a nail update then there are quite a few of their four colour kits at just a tenner too.

Brand Alley have a mega beauty sale with items from Clinique, OPI and quite a few of The Sanctuary Christmas gift sets have major reductions, such as the Top to Toe Collection which is down t £19.50 from £30.

There are quite a few reductions in the Benefit sale, covering their skincare, fragrance and make-up collections and prices start at around £6 so there’s definitely a bargain to be had.  This Passport to Posh Kit is down from £25 to £16.66…a rather sinister price point, no?

I wasn’t sure whether to add this sale to the list, as whilst they’ve started promisingly with claims of “up to 70% off”, most savings seem to be token gestures from 10-20%.  Still, a saving is a saving and there is quite a lot in the sale; hopefully prices will be further reduced after Christmas.  There are 3 Urban Decay palettes on sale at the moment, including the Feminine variant (above) which is down to £21.33 from £24.99 apparently.
