Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to start thinking about the New Year, and one of the best ways to head into January is with a smart shopping mindset. It’s likely that for Christmas, you received some vouchers for beauty retailers, including LookFantastic, SpaceNK, Boots and more.
If so, we’re here to help you out with the beauty buys you should actually invest in, and with the Boxing Day sales kicking off, these are the products that are going to get you the most bang for your buck.
From nifty hair tools to luxe fragrances and make-up essentials, here’s what we’re going to be spending our beauty vouchers on for the New Year…
LookFantastic is offering 25% off selected products, including some well-loved staples from Olaplex, Benefit, Bobbi Brown, and more. So, if you received an LF gift card, we’re here to help you out with the very best savings.

This popular primer/moisturiser hybrid is enriched with hyaluronic acid, shea butter and a blend of vitamins B5, C and E, prepping the skin perfectly for make-up by providing a hydrated and smooth base.
With celeb fans including Molly-Mae, Ferne McCann and Amber Turner, this item has become a a cult product, and we think now is the perfect chance to use your gift cards and stock up for the New Year.
And if it’s good enough for Molly-Mae then it’s definitely good enough for us!
If you don’t need anymore skincare, why not spend your voucher on Olaplex’ best-selling No.4 and No.5 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner duo? This product has been hyped up for a reason, and if you struggle with brittle and weak hair, you’ll want to get your hands on this.
Using its patented bonding actives, this gentle formula cleanses and hydrates without stripping the hair of its essential moisture, while leaving the hair feeling stronger and healthier after use. The full price is £56, but will the code SALE, you’ll be able to nab this duo for £42. What a bargain!
The Big Boots Sale has officially kicked off with up to 50% off of hundreds of skincare, haircare and beauty products. If you’re unsure what to purchase with your Boots gift card, we recommend going for a hair tool you can keep for years and year. The Dyson Airwrap is included in the sale, meaning you can get it for £399.99, down from £479.99; that’s a massive £80 saving!
Although you may be wondering if this splurge is necessary, your gift card combined with the discount means this is probably the cheapest you’ll be able to get one. With rave 5-star reviews from customers, we think it’s worth the investment.
If you’re not quite ready to spend that much on a hair tool, we think the Mark Hill Pick ‘N’ Mix Air™ Flexi Air Styler Starter Kit is a fab alternative. Reduced to £82.50 ( down from £169.99 ), this 3-in-1 styler can blow dry and style your hair effortlessly. years
Fragrance is always a wise idea to use your vouchers on, and SpaceNK has an amazing selection of super luxe perfumes in their Boxing Day sale. The key to using gift cards wisely is to use them either on everyday essentials that you won’t actually purchase for yourself, or more expensive items that will last and last for years, i.e. perfumes and hair tools.
One of our favourite fragrances in the SpaceNK sale includes Tory Burch’s Divine Moon EDP. The 50ml bottle is currently reduced from £80 down to £60. If you are buying online without having smelt the perfume itself, it’s always a good idea to start off with a smaller 30ml or 50ml bottle rather than 100ml, in case the smell is not what you thought it would be. With notes of floral and honey, this perfume is party of Tory Burch’s Essence of Dreams collection and is the perfect combination of feminine and gourmand (without being too sickly sweet!).
Alongside this, we also love Jo Loves’ Ebony and Cassis A Fragrance EDT. The 50ml bottle is discounted to £61.50 down from £82. If feminine florals aren’t your style, this perfume is completely different. Made up of spicy myrrh, nutmeg and patchouli, this fragrance will transform you to the Middle East.
Happy shopping!
