Now that we’re officially in spring and the sun is shining (most of the time), I find myself wanting to stock up on beauty essentials and wanting to try some new scents and skincare for the warmer months. Escentual is bursting with incredible new value gift sets, icons in larger sizes and free gifts, plus our bigger-than-ever French Pharmacy, up to ⅓ off promotion. Read on to find some of the best beauty deals this April…
French Pharmacy: ⅓ Off
French Pharmacy is back with a bang! The lineup of brands included in this month will blow you away – there’s something for everyone, and it’s all one third off RRP. From La Roche-Posay to Bioderma, take a peek at just some of our favourite savings…
Bioderma
We all know and love the iconic Bioderma Sensibio H2O, but new for this French Pharmacy promotion is the Bioderma Sensibio Defensive Active Soothing Cream. I can’t get enough of how soft the gel-cream formula makes my skin as it forms a barrier of protection, instantly soothing irritation. If you have very dry skin, there’s a formula for you too, with the luxurious and intensely hydrating Rich Soothing Cream.
La Roche-Posay
We’re just as obsessed with La Roche-Posay as you are, so jumped at the chance to include them this time around in the French Promo – each French Pharmacy month includes different brands throughout the year. It’s hard to pick just one product. However, my newest love is the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo [+] to zap spots away, as it is spring and allergy season is fast approaching, we recommend the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Cream. Perfect for ultra-sensitive skin, it soothes redness in just 30 minutes and helps long-term with sensitivity with consistent use.
Avene
With a range tailored to every skin concern, Avene has you covered in every step of your skincare routine. But did you know they also have an incredible suncare lineup? My current favourite is the Avene Sun Care Very High Protection B-Protect SPF50+. It has a very subtle tint that adapts to your skin shade – there are no orange or grey tones in sight!
Vichy
Best known for their iconic Mineral 89 Serum, Vichy also has an incredible range tailored towards oily skin concerns. The Normaderm Phytosolution Double-Correction Daily Care is a lightweight moisturiser that hydrates and purifies, instantly leaving a fresh feeling.
Klorane
Adding to their star-studded haircare lineup, Klorane has exclusively launched the Cupuacu range here at Escentual for the whole month of April – coinciding with the ⅓ off deal! Cupuacu deeply hydrates dry, damaged, curly hair while it strengthens and detangles. Plus, it has a subtle cocoa scent; everyone at Escentual is feeling the Cupuacu buzz!
Bigger-size savings
Everyone loves getting more for their money. This month on Escentual, we have some seriously tempting larger-sizes so you can stock up on your favourites for longer whilst paying less.
Exclusive to Escentual is the Prada Luna Rossa Ocean Eau de Toilette in a whopping 150ml size! The aquatic-fougere fragrance makes the perfect gift for anyone who loves subtle, modern spice – I love smelling it on my partner and using it myself in the evenings. I never want to run out of it, which is easier with the larger 150ml bottle.
Bioderma has released their best-selling micellar waters as duo packs. The Bioderma Sensibio H2O – Micelle Solution 2x 250ml pack is included in the ⅓ off French Pharmacy making it just £14 for the two bottles!
Not only is Philip Kingsley new to Escentual, but the shampoos also come in large 1L sizes to save you money and keep your hair luscious. My favourite is the Philip Kingsley Flaky/Itchy Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo at £69 for the largest 1000ml size – it will last longer than a regular size bottle and works out cheaper in the long run!
Free Fragrance Gifts
Anytime there’s a miniature fragrance, I immediately fall in love – they’re just so cute, and I love curating my collection to travel with! The perfect way to try something new and to keep your favourites with you at all times, this month these are just some of my favourites:
GIVENCHY L’Interdit Eau de Parfum 10ml – The first mini fragrance calling me this month is the iconic GIVENCHY L’Interdit, a free gift when you spend £70 or more on any GIVENCHY. I recommend including the new Gentleman Reserve Privee EDP in your haul – to me, it smells like boozy dark chocolate heaven! The chic, shrunk-down 10ml L’Interdit bottle is ideal for travel or to test out the floral-woody scent.
Giorgio Armani My Way Eau de Parfum Spray 15ml – A floral lover’s dream, the My Way collection is sweet and ranges form subtle to intense. This month, the sustainable, refillable lineup makes a perfect gift with the bonus of the mini 15ml when you buy a 50ml or 90ml version of the original or Intense.
Moschino Toy 2 Bubble Gum Eau de Toilette 5ml – If you love Moschino now is the time to treat yourself to a 50ml or larger Moschino Toy 2 Bubble Gum Eau de Toilette Spray. The joyful sweet floral comes in the iconic Moschino Teddy bottle, and now every qualifying 50ml+ purchase includes a mini 5ml!
