Eager to show off her haul of bargains, Jess took to social media and uploaded a clip with the caption 'Boots is slaying this year.'

'I just got YSL Libre for £20 - a 50ml bottle.' Not only this, but she then added: '[They] also have make-up bits, I got a lipgloss, thought it was really nice, kind of dark, nudey shade.

Walmart Deals of the Day: Score Sonos' Premium Ace Headphones for a Record Low $299
There's typically a bit of a lull in major sales around this time of year, but with a little digging you can still score some serious savings. Fortunately, that's our specialty here on CNET's shopping team, and we're rounding up the absolute best bargains you can shop every day at Walmart. For today, July 21, those include a significant $150 discount on Sonos' top-rated Ace headphones, a convenient Keurig iced coffee brewer that you can pick up for less than $60 and an unreal Galaxy Watch 7 deal that's only available in certain locations. We've also found the best deals you can shop today at Amazon as well. Sonos makes some of the absolute best speakers and soundbars on the market right now, so it's no surprise that its Sonos Ace headphones have also earned a spot on our list of the overall best headphones for 2025. These premium over-ears impressed CNET audio aficionado David Carnoy with their comfortable design and top-of-the-line sound and noise-canceling capabilities, though Carnoy found the $449 price tag a little too high to justify. However, they're a pretty great bargain now that you can grab them at a record-low price, making them an excellent and more affordable alternative to the AirPods Max. The Galaxy Watch 8 hits shelves soon, but for the time being the Galaxy Watch 7 is still one of the best smartwatches on the market. And it's a steal now that you can pick it up for a record-low $200 -- half the price of the Apple Watch Series 10. It impressed our reviewer with its vibrant 2,000-nit display, helpful Quick button and impressive fitness features. Just note that select functions like the ECG and sleep apnea monitor require a Galaxy phone. At the moment, only the 44mm silver configuration is on sale at this price, and availability may vary by location. If you are looking to take advantage of this deal, we'd recommend getting your order in fast. With warm summer weather in full swing, a refreshing iced coffee is the perfect way to start your day. And with this single-serve Keurig brewer, you can make it at home in minutes. It has a special "brew over ice setting" that starts hot to help extract flavor and then cools down so it won't melt the ice and water down your drink. It has multiple cup size settings, and this deal also comes with a 12-ounce tumbler so you can take your coffee on the go. Plus, it's just 6.5 inches wide to help you conserve counter space.

Shoppers rush to buy 20p plants as supermarkets slash prices by up to 80% and they'll transform your garden this summer
SHOPPERS are flocking to stock their trolleys with bargain plants - and prices start from just 20p. A host of retailers are offering discounts worth up to 80% off on flora in store and online. 2 2 Shoppers have spotted major bargains in Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Waitrose branches. Others have clocked major discounts at Home Bargains and The Range with up to 60% off. Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, one savvy saver said: "Worth checking out all your local supermarkets at this time of the season - lots of major reductions on plants!!" The shopper went on to reveal how they found Salix flamingo and dianthus plants in their local Sainsbury's store for 20p each. The bargain hunter also clocked baby fuchsia plants at their local Morrisons shop reduced to 30p and mini Orchids at their closest Waitrose shop for £2.40 down from £12 - an 80% discount. Morrisons and Waitrose confirmed they have not launched plant sales UK-wide but that individual branches are allowed to reduce prices to clear stock. We have asked Sainsbury's if it has reduced prices on its flowers and plants across all its stores and will update this story when we have heard back. Waitrose and The Range are also all selling cut-price plants and flowers on their websites with up to 40% and 60% off, respectively. Shoppers can get pots of fuchsia plants for £4.19 down from £6.99 and Orlaya Grandiflora for £2.17 down from £2.89. The Range is selling flowers and plants with prices starting from £9. How to make sure you lawn looks green and lush all summer long We've spotted hedging trees on sale for £39.99 down from £64.95 (39% off) as well as Callicarpa berry shrubs for £39.99 down from £101.23 (60% off). If you're looking to buy cheap plants and flowers from your nearest supermarket or retailer branch, check if they have any on sale in the first instance by calling ahead. Most retailers have store locators online which you can use to find your nearest store, based on your postcode or town where you live. How to save money on plants, flowers and gardening Start by waiting for end of season sales when retailers slash prices on stock. It's worth joining up to retailer's loyalty schemes too, as you might be able to get discounts on plants and flowers. You'll also get points on your purchases which you can use to get money off future shops. B&Q, Sainsbury's and Morrisons all have loyalty schemes which are free to join. Buying plant seeds rather than mature plants means a bit more work is needed, but will generally save you money too. Rather than buying compost, you can create your own with organic waste like banana peels or grass you've mowed up. How to find gardening bargains Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden… You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture. Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout. Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items. And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas. If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days. Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount. And always check if you can get cashback before paying. It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.
