Whether you need to stock up on your favourite make-up and skincare or are looking to discover something new, the Boots £10 Tuesday is the time to do it.
Each week, the retailer slashes the price of its big-name brand products to just £10, which is often a huge saving on the usual RRP.
In previous weeks, we’ve seen a Mac prep and prime lip pencil reduced, as well as a skincare expert Caroline Hirons’s “holy grail” product, Pixi glow tonic.
As this is a flash sale, it lasts for 24 hours only and owing to its popularity, things do sell out fast, so you’ll have to act quickly. It’s a run, don’t walk situation.
Even if your beauty bounty is well stocked, it offers the perfect opportunity to pick up a present for a friend at a discounted price; who doesn’t love saving money?
To help you decide which products you need, we’ve rounded-up of the ones we think are well worth splashing the cash on. You can thank us later.

This Works slumber party kit
Considering how stressful the past year has been, chances are you’re looking for ways to get a better night’s sleep. Enter the This Works trio of pillow sprays. Included within the set is the brand’s signature deep sleep pillow spray, the sleep plus pillow spray and the together calming spray, all of which work to help you fall asleep faster, and for longer. Simply choose your sleep solution and mist it over your pillow and bedding. Worth £21, you’ll be saving a whopping 50 per cent and we think this would make the perfect gift, either for a loved one or yourself.
If you’re looking for an alternative to foundation, this could be the answer you were looking for. Simply mix these concentrated foundation drops with your favourite moisturiser (if you’re looking for inspiration, this Kate Somerville delikate recovery cream, which took the top spot in our guide to the best moisturisers for sensitive skin) or primer (our favourite in the review of the best is the Sisley Paris instant eclat glow primer) and apply to your face. The brand suggests using one drop for light coverage, two for medium or three for full. A great option for nailing the skinminimalism beauty trend.
Reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles with this No7 filler, which has a light and soft formula that the brand claims will leave your skin looking smoother, radiant and more youthful. For best results, use as the final step of your beauty regime; after your moisturiser or foundation.
Admittedly one of the least fun things to spend money on, so it’s always good to see oral hygiene products in the Boots flash sale. If you already have an Oral B toothbrush (if you don’t, read our review of the best electric toothbrushes and no doubt you’ll be persuaded) these are for you, since dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush head every three to four months. Inspired by professional dental tools, these are designed to clean tooth-by-tooth and, according to the brand, the bristles will help remove plaque build-up.
There is little point in spending ages perfecting your make-up if it doesn’t last, nor should you build a great skincare regime if your face is left dry and parched after an hour of wearing foundation. Luckily, this No7 primer may just save you here. Working to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores, the brand claims it’ll leave your skin perfectly smooth all day. For optimum results, apply to skin after you’ve moisturised.
Lee Stafford hair apology intensive care power shots
With hairdressers still closed, you may be missing your regular in-salon hair treatment. But, these capsules promise to give your locks a boost of life. Containing protein and keratin, as well as heat protecting properties, this serum claims to add gloss, control frizz and improve texture. To use, simply twist the top off the capsule and squeeze into your hands before applying to towel-dried hair.
