You feel good when you look good and there’s no denying that. And to feel and look good, you gotta put some effort into it, girl! Now, we also know that’s a bit tricky because in the modern-day economy, everything is expensive and overpriced. But when has that stopped us from being gorgeous? And so, here are a few tips on how to save money and not break your bank in the beauty department.
1. Find the dupes
We all know how expensive cosmetics can get. That perfect shade of red that has rave reviews everywhere which you’re trying to get your hands on might rip a huge hole in your pocket. And no, we’re not asking you to give up on buying stuff. Just be a smart buyer. More often than not, you can find dupes of high-end brand products in affordable brand products. For example, color pops liquid matte lipsticks are as good as Kylie’s lip kits, if not better! And they cost way less than the latter. A little research here and there helps you get what you want and save those big bucks.
2. Go Homemade and natural
Skincare can get expensive when we’re looking at those fancy face masks and hair serums. Instead of splurging on them all mindlessly, try for the cheap but effective options. Whip a hair mask with egg whites and yogurt for silky smooth hair that can give a run for any of those fancy branded hair products any day. Homemade products when used regularly bring noticeable changes and are safe and reliable. On top of this, they’re way cheaper than the store-bought products.
3. Deal with the deals
Ever since online shopping came into the existence, beauty market bloomed and a lot of brands are making twice the money they used, mainly owing to the said brand’s availability everywhere, which wasn’t the case before. (Remember when we had to circle around various malls to get that Korean skin cream?). Along with this, consistent discounts on various shopping websites helped the beauty market grow bigger. Now while these discounts help you save some money while purchasing online, coupons are what you need to save that extra cash. Keep ‘em handy!
4. Try the subscription boxes
Subscription boxes will save you at the end of the day. They provide you with a really wide array of cosmetics and healthcare products that every month. You get to try loads of samples from various brands and you can find out what suits your skin the best. This saves you both time and money – along with the fun of trying something new every time.
5. Hack your way through
So, there are certain products you can use for multiple purposes, helping you save money. For example — lip and cheek tints are awesome, as they can double up for both a lipstick and a pretty blush. Or talk about the Vitamin e wipes, which you can use for makeup removal, cleansing, and toning! So find little things like this that can make a huge difference to retain the coins in your pocket.
