If you need to save, consider the option of reducing the
monthly expenditure for beauty (cosmetics, makeup, treatments ...). It is not
necessary to give up makeup, you can save if you follow the following tricks
and buy wisely.
1. Use the beauty products you already have
Many of us stop using our makeup or cosmetics before they
are finished because we do not like them for some reason. Search at home the
products you left abandoned and finish them before buying new ones.
2. Switch to less expensive brands
This may seem obvious, but many people think that they
should buy their shampoo or makeup of the same quality as those of the beauty
salon. If you have always used branded products you probably have not realized
that there are many good and cheap brands. Try a product to find a cheaper and
more acceptable substitute brand.
3. Purchase in bulk or family size
Generally, the bulk purchase or the largest available size
allows you to save some money. If you do this with all your beauty products,
you can see how you start saving quickly. But be sure to check the unit price
when buying the largest available size. Sometimes stores charge more for larger
sizes on purpose, knowing that customers tend to buy those sizes at the thought
that they can be more economical.
4. Use discount coupons
You can save a lot of money by searching for coupons for
beauty products. When you see an offer, take advantage and buy enough to last a
long time and do not need to buy again until there is an offer again. Sign up
in the newsletters to receive offers by email of your favorite brands. If you
would like to always be fashionable and trends and not waste time, I present
special discounts at the online stores Pull and Bear and MyProtein, where you
can find the promotional codes. Also, in Amazon by MasCupon you can find offers
and promotional codes in books, music and fashion.
5. Use less quantity of product
Surely you've seen ads of toothpaste where they cover the
entire toothbrush. Advertisers use this marketing strategy on purpose, since
the more pasta you use each time, the sooner you'll have to buy. However, you
can get teeth as clean using a quarter of the amount recommended by
manufacturers. With shampoo the same thing happens: you do not need to soap
your hair twice in each wash to get your hair clean.
6. Get free samples
I always have a lot of free samples of beauty products in my
toilet. I take home all the samples I find: in hotels, magazines, events, etc.
Even pharmacies have free samples to give you if you ask them. This way you can
get free product and also try it before deciding to buy it.
8. The same bottle for the whole family
It seems that every person in the family has their own
favorite brand. If five people live in your house and each uses a different
brand of shampoo, you have to buy five different shampoos. In addition, you
need more space to store them and it can also happen that not everyone finishes
the bottle. Try to choose a brand that everyone likes or choose a different
brand each time.
9. Be flexible
If you want to get the best possible offer, you have to be
flexible about what beauty products to buy. For example, my partner and I
prefer to use pill soap, but whenever we can get gel soap offer, we use that
instead.
10. Think about why you buy makeup
Do you buy makeup to be prettier in special events or to
look more professional at work? Do you buy makeup by habit or when you are a
bit sad to cheer up? Make sure you have a good reason to buy makeup and beauty
products. If you have the false idea that using make-up makes you feel better,
then you should give up that shopping habit.
11. Try it before buying it
A while ago, I ran out of rouge, so I went to the store to
buy more. I chose one of a color that seemed similar to the one I had. Error!
He had a color so intense that he looked like a clown. If I had tried the
product before buying it, I would have saved € 20 and would have avoided
returning to the store to buy more. Some stores give you back the money if the
product does not meet your expectations. Find out about that in stores and
brands where you are going to buy.
12. Buy quality makeup brushes
Sometimes it really does not matter what product is used, as
long as it is applied correctly. The eye shadow applied with any brush will
never be the same as if you do it with a specific brush for eye shadow.
13. Only buy the most important beauty products
I do not use much makeup, but I like to use rouge. It makes
me a better face color, so I do not mind spending a little more money on rouge.
On the contrary, I have a friend who only wears a mascara, so her entire makeup
budget is invested in mascara. Choose the products that are most important to
you and try to make it the only makeup you buy.
