'I shopped at Boots 70% clearance sale - here are my top five picks'

Boots are famous for its annual 70 percent, with huge bargains to be found on popular beauty brands.

It has become a yearly tradition for the high-street cosmetics retailer to launch a clearance sale on leftover stock in the final weeks of January.

The sale has become legendary amongst shoppers looking for epic savings across a range of different departments such as skincare, haircare and beauty products.

Now the sale is back in stores and savvy shoppers are able to pick up some leftover Christmas stock, with some items selling for as little as £9.

Which is exactly why I decided to head down to my local Boots store located in the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen to see what was on offer.

This year's sale included some major savings across quite a few of the retailers best-selling advent calendars and beauty sets - including Soap and Glory, Harry Potter and Mad Beauty.

As it is a clearance sale, the amount of stock in each store will most likely differ and there may not be the same amount in each store.

While you can certainly head down to your local store to shop the sale, I have decided to pick out a few of the items that I think are worth a mention.

It is also worth mentioning, that I did notice that the 70% sale is only on offer in-stores, with online prices only offering up to 60% off the same products.
