17 Beauty Products To Shop In This Year’s January Sales According To A Seasoned Beauty Journalist

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a seasoned fake tanner. No matter the time of year, whether I have plans or not, I will be tanned. And this is officially my favourite ever fake tan. So you can bet I'll be buying a good few bottles while it's discounted. Get it quick though… at the time of writing, I've already WhatsApped three friends the offer: true story.

Everyone loves a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick. So there's no better time to snatch one up than in the January sales. Cult Beauty are currently offering £8.70 off the K.I.S.S.I.N.G line. Rosy Seduction, get in my bag.

If your skin is having a post-December break-out, join the club. This is one of my favourite higher-coverage foundations, but at £36 it's not the most affordable. The good news is, Harvey Nichols currently have it discounted – so a prime time to snatch yourself a bottle. Expect velvety soft, radiant skin in an instant. You can thank me later.

I won’t technically be shopping this snazzy hair tool as I already own one, but I suggest you do. BaByliss’ latest curl innovation ensures you get the perfect loose undone wave every time – no skill required. Simply clamp a small section of hair and the device does all the hard work for you. There’s no tangling, rogue waves or odd curls – just perfect beachy waves, every time. Plus it's 50% off! Go go go.

You know what's great about shopping in January? You can get major discounts off all of the 'Christmas gift sets' you didn't actually receive. This Olaplex one is fab. New Year… New Hair Health.

Another fab find in the January sales – this Cowshed set. Containing minis of seven hair, bath and body products, it's all you need to transform your bathroom into a Soho House-esque haven. Spa nights in, check.

In the market for a new concealer? Let me introduce you to Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer. Something of an insider secret, this little beauty conceals like a dream – while leaving your skin with a radiant finish. It ticks all the boxes.

Cult Beauty are currently offering 20% off wellbeing essentials – and this shower foam is one of my new favourites. The glycolic acid-infused exfoliating formula helps clear out clogged pores, and leaves your skin silky smooth. After all, January is the time to invest in yourself. It's called self-care.

If a new skincare routine was on your New Year's resolutions, may I suggest you try this glow-boosting set from Kate Somerville. It's one of my favourites for pack-a-punch radiance and smooth, polished, baby-soft skin. Plus, at £16, it's a great price to 'try before you full-size buy'.

Every year Iconic London do some of the very best make-up gift sets for Christmas. And right now, they're all massively discounted. Take this 'We Glow Again' gift set. Containing five iconic glow-givers, you can get the whole lot for nearly £100 off.

I'm a massive fan of Slip's sleep collection. Their eye masks are the comfiest I've tried, the pillowcases are soft and chic and the scrunchies keep your hair soft and tangle free. Plus you can nab a bargain right now at SpaceNK with this gorgeous gift set.

If you dye or heat style your hair – this shampoo and conditioner combo is the one for you. It was suggested to me by the pros at Larry King and after a couple of weeks of using, my hair has never looked better.

This hero skin serum is something of an industry secret. It cleverly works to strengthen your skin, protecting it from environmental aggressors like pollution, smog, smoke and UV rays. Expect firmer, more youthful looking skin in a matter of weeks.

I’m a big advocate for CBD oil. It helps to ease feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, plus helps to quieten the mind if you’re struggling to switch off in the evening. For me, this is one of the best, most affordable and cleanest formulas out there. I’ll definitely be stocking up come January.

Another haircare hero (but this time a major budget buy), this little beauty really is worth every penny. It went viral on TikTok thanks to its ability to turn your locks into shiny glass-hair in seconds. Trust me: try it.

If you're in the market for make-up, it doesn't get better than this NARS palette. With over £16 off, it contains all the buttery browns and gorgeous bronzes you need to create standout smokey eyes.

Loved by the likes of Sienna Miller, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, this vitamin C serum really is worth the hype. But at £150 a bottle, it’s not for everyone. While there are nice alternatives, nothing gives as good of a glow like SkinCeuticals. If you are able to afford it, it’s definitely one to pick up in the January sales.

Tom Ford fragrances really are in a league of their own and while it’s the big names that often get all of the attention (think Costa Azzura and Black Orchid) it’s the dreamy white floral of Tubereuse Nue that I adore. It smells like summer in a bottle and gets me through those dark winter months knowing that sunshine is ahead.
