Where to find the best January sale beautydeals?

Although we love heading out to the shops for a shopping spree, often the best deals are best found online.

Some of our personal favourite stores to shop for beauty deals, including department stores such as Selfridges, John Lewis, Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

However, sole online retailers such as Lookfantastic, ASOS and Cult Beauty have also got huge January sales deals worth checking out too.

Also shopping online means you can take full advantage of discount codes and cashback offers to maximise your savings.

You can use free to join websites such as TopCashback to see what offers are available for your favourite retailers.

Christmas returns policies – what you need to know

Christmas returns vary from store to store, and depends on the purchase too.

As as general rule of thumb, most purchases made in November onwards have an extended returns policy.

So you can exchange or get a refund up until the end of January, which is longer than the usual 28 days.

In some cases, beauty products with its packaging opened cannot be returned.

It is always best to check with the retailer before your purchase.
