I’ve recently found a new love/passion for makeup, skin care and hair. I wish I could go out and buy EVERYTHING but let’s face it I can’t
Here are some tips to help save money and still be able to buy what you love or want.
Buy quality products: The theory behind this one is that if you buy a quality product, it will last you much longer than a cheap imitation. In the same way that investing in a quality piece of clothing will save you money in the long run (as opposed to buying multiple less expensive products that will add up to the same amount anyway), purchasing better quality one time will save you money long term.
Return the wrong colors: Always ask about a return policy before you buy a product, this way you know whether or not you’ll be able to return a product once you open the packaging. If you buy a foundation and it’s the wrong color for your skin tone, don’t lose out on that money by not returning something you’ll never use.
Take advantage of multi-use products: Find products that serve more than one purpose (lip stain and cheek stain, 2-in-1 shampoo conditioner, your flat iron that can also create curls) to buy less and still get the same amount of results.
Get a rewards card: Both at drugstores and beauty retailers, customer loyalty cards yield some amazing rewards. Sephora’s Beauty Insider program rewards you with sample sized products, while some drugstores reward you in dollars you’re able to spend on your purchases there.
Compare prices before buying: In store or online, use Google to compare prices at different retailers before purchasing, and be sure to keep shipping and handling fees in mind if you’re buying online. Saving $3 on a product because you’re buying from a mass retailer will add up over time.
