Beauty fans are running to Boots to nab bargain buy that's scanning for FREE...but you better be quick

LET'S face it, we all love nabbing ourselves a total bargain - especially when it's least expected.

So imagine one savvy shopper's delight when she managed to get her hands on £30-worth of makeup for free - yep, you heard right!

Charlotte Miller took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and shared a snap of the Boots Beauty Heroes Box, which customers could only initially get when they spent £20 or more on selected cosmetics such as Revlon, Max Factor or NYX.

Alongside the image, she penned: "Always keep an eye on the Boots clearance stand.

"I found this for 1p today, quickly rushed off to the tills, and it scanned for free.

"I thought the lady at the till would tell me I couldn’t have it, but she didn’t seem to mind at all - very happy!"

She added: "I can't imagine this is in every store. But I never find a bargain like this."

The Boots beauty box can contain a mix of any of the following products: L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Satin Lipstick, Maybelline Fit Me! Luminous + Smooth Primer, Garnier Nutri Bomb Milky Sheet Mask Almond Milk and Hyaluronic Acid, Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish, Essie Nail Polish, e.l.f. Big Mood Mascara Black and the HNB Cosmetics Super Soft Powder Puff.

A second praised: "Great find. Enjoy your fabulous bargain!"

A third commented: "Well done. I was in Boots in Falkirk in Scotland today and did not get any bargains."

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Good on you Charlotte, enjoy.

Another added: "Wow at that bargain!!!"
