Thankfully, as the financial year closes, savvy shoppers like us know that arguably the best deals of the year are happening right now.
This EOFY sale, short for End-of-Financial-Year sale, is a great opportunity to snag incredible discounts on a range of beauty products – from cult buys to brand new releases and everything in between.

So, grab your shopping lists and get ready to dive into the best beauty deals of the year!

What Is The EOFY Sale?
The EOFY sale is a significant shopping event that occurs as businesses approach the end of their financial year, typically around late May to the end of June.

But most importantly, you get to save money and score a sweet deal!
How Does The EOFY Sale Compare To Other Sales Events?
