With the festive season around the corner, many will be well underway with their Christmas shopping, or gearing up to start.

While we all have different set budgets, there are nifty ways to make your money stretch as far possible. One of our beauty writers, Bethan Shufflebotham, worked at Boots while she was at university, so she's a dab hand at finding bargains.

And her latest deal hack offers a way to get £288-worth of premium makeup and skincare for free, meaning you'll get ample product to use now and stash away to use as stocking stuffers or main gifts on the big day.

For a limited time, the health and beauty retailer is offering up to 20% off selected brands, one of them being Clarins. Bethan has worked out that if you're smart with what you add to your basket, you can snag more than £450-worth of beauty for less than £170.
