Beauty lovers could bag a free make-up product worth up to £22 thanks to a supermarket offer, with Pixi, Rimmel, Maybelline, L'Oreal and Max Factor among the brands included in the deal.

What makes this deal particularly tempting is the selection of products available, including beauty favourites from Pixi, Rimmel, Maybelline, L'Oreal and Max Factor. With several items priced at £22 or £24, shopping strategically could mean getting a premium beauty product worth more than £20 without paying a penny for it.

The offer is straightforward: choose three eligible products from the promotional selection, add them to your trolley and make sure your Nectar card is linked to your account. The cheapest of the three eligible items will be free, so it pays to choose items that are similar in price if possible, so you get the best value money.

One of the biggest draws is the selection of Pixi products included in the offer. Known for its skincare-inspired beauty products, the brand has several options that could make this promotion particularly worthwhile.

Here are some of the higher-priced products to look out for:

These are some of the most expensive options to check out, but the best choice of course will depend on which products you actually want to use.

The key to making the most of a buy-three-get-one-free promotion is to think about the prices of all the products you choose before adding them to your trolley.

For example, if you choose three eligible products priced at £24, £24 and £22, the £22 item could be free. That means you would pay £48 instead of £70 for the three products, saving £22. The actual saving will depend on the prices of the products you select.

Whether you choose more premium or budget beauty, this Sainsbury’s beauty offer worth considering if you've already been eyeing up a few beauty buys. Sainsbury’s might not be the first place that springs to mind when you're hunting for a make-up bargain, but this Nectar promotion has been a pleasant surprise for me, and I want to share it with other beauty fans.

With several products from well-known beauty brands among the options, there’s an opportunity to save on a selection of beauty buys and pick up a few essentials for your make-up routine. Just remember to link your Nectar card to your account to qualify.
