RECYCLING PROGRAMSĬertain companies will pay you back in a free product just for returning their used packaging. I’ve become a super fan of their products because they are so cheap but still work just as well as more expensive options. THE ORDINARY FOR SKINCAREĪnother recommendation I have to share is The Ordinary. Before you make a purchase sign up for their email list. Their products are so cheap, good quality and also cruelty-free. If you want to experiment with makeup or find some dupes for your splurgiest items then let me recommend ELF. And one more…it works as a hydrating make-up remover. I also mix a teaspoon with a pinch of sugar for an effective scrub. I apply it before bed maybe once a week and wash it out in the morning. The many uses for coconut oil have been spread far and wide on the internet, but they’re not all lies. You’ll find Sephora, Hudson’s Bay, The Body Shop, MAC, Amazon and other beauty sites listed. Ebates will pay you cash back just for linking through their site to the online retailer you are shopping at. If you’re buying products online, then make sure you check out Ebates before clicking buy. The process takes a bit longer because the students are supervised, but you can get a quality cut at a significant discount. I’ve done this before and got a great cut. ![]() See if there’s a local school that has a hair stylist program near you, and go there for cuts. How do hair stylists learn to cut hair? They practice. Try cutting back and see if you notice a difference. And usually the higher-end the product, the less you need to use. You only need a small amount of product to get the job done. Those shampoo commercials show models dumping half a bottle into their hair, but that’s all a lie. You know how old nail polish gets clumpy and hard to apply? Storing it in the fridge can help maintain the smooth consistency and get you more use out of one bottle. Instead, skip the dryer a few days a week to get healthier hair, extend the life of your color and save a few dollars on your electricity bill. AIR DRY YOUR HAIRīlow-drying is hard on your hair, and it also uses power. Plus, you can add more or less depending on the coverage you want. It means a perfect match in a formula that works for my skin. Instead, I make my own version by adding a few drops of foundation to my go-to moisturizer. I don’t like heavy foundation, but I’ve also found it challenging to find a tinted moisturizer or BB cream that I really love. Get out the scissors and cut open containers to get every last drop. If you’re not a Sephora shopper, track the sales of your store of choice to get the best deals.Įven when the pump stops working, there is often a decent amount of product stuck at the bottom of your containers. For me, that means buying the big bottles of my favorite shampoo and conditioner and replenishing my stock of skincare. That’s the time to stock up on the products you know you’ll use during the year. Beauty Insiders can get 10% to 20% off their entire order. Sephora usually has two big sales per year, in April and November. Check out these DIY face masks for inspiration. Avocado, honey, and oatmeal can all work wonders on your skin. DIY SCRUBS AND FACE MASKSīrand name masks can get crazy expensive, and you can get similar results from products in your pantry. You can also get samples with any online orders, and they are perfect for travel. Higher-end stores like Sephora will happily give you a free sample of just about any product they carry. If you’re considering a new product, then give it a trial run before committing. You can use the right shade of lipstick as blush and even eyeshadow. Look for products that can do double or even triple duty. Less is both cheaper and simpler when it comes to makeup. ![]() Beauty products are always going to be a dent in my budget, but I have found several ways to reduce my spending that I want to share. Instead of $1 nail polish, it’s $60 foundation. It’s not a cheap hobby, though, and as I’ve gotten older, my tastes have gotten more expensive. I’ve grown up since then and am less about the trial and error and more about the tried and true, but I’m still a beauty fanatic at heart. My morning routine became me sitting in the bathroom sink testing out new looks. As soon as my mom gave me the go-ahead to wear makeup, I started spending my allowance on Lip Smackers and rainbow eye shadow palettes. ![]() For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love for all things beauty.
