The best beauty bargains we've found in the January sales

January might be the best time ever to bag a beauty bargain! There are lots of luxury gift sets, products and more on offer at the moment.

Traditionally, beauty is the one section in retail that doesn't get discounted during sale time. Thankfully, though, that's not the case anymore and now January is a great time to bag a beauty bargain. From half price promotions to slashed prices on seasonal launches there's plenty out there to keep a bargain hunter happy. Here are five of my top picks to you started, but if you see any other beauty bargains about, let me know down in the comments!

• Clinique High on Lashes set €15 reduced from €22.50 at Brown Thomas

Considering the mascara alone is normally €22.50 this really is a great all round offer. Not only do you get the mascara, but there's also a mini makeup remover and eye cream as well.

• Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Gift Set €33.34 reduced from €50 at Arnotts

Fans of the cult classic 8 Hour Cream will love this set, which includes an original 50ml sized tube, a lip balm stick, hand cream, SPF15 daily moisturiser and mini All Over Miracle Oil. With the reduced cost it works out at just over €6 per product, which isn't too shabby at all.

• Real Techniques Filtered Face Set €50 reduced from €100 at Boots

This RT gift set has everything a beauty lover could possibly want. And in even better news, it's been slashed in price by a whopping 50% making it incredible value too. In it you'll find eight Real Techniques makeup brushes for eyes, lips and face, three sponges and a brush holder.

And last but by no means least.....

• La Praire Skin Caviar Luxe Cream 100ml €578 reduced from €723

This ones comes with an impressive saving of almost €150 which makes it the over all best in terms of sale value. To be fair though, if you're able to drop over €550 on a jar of face cream, the fact it's on sale probably doesn't matter.
