5 Simple Ways to Stretch Your Beauty Budget
August 24th, 2008With the global economy hitting the skids, many ladies are finding that they have less left over at the end of the month to spend on little extras like lipstick and nail lacquer.
Here at Blush Cosmetics, we’re all about beauty bargains. With a little ingenuity, it’s definitely possible to look your best without breaking the bank. Here are a few tips to help you get the most bang for your makeup buck.
Try do-it-yourself manicures and pedicures. Sure, it feels great to walk out of the salon with perfect fingernails and toenails. But when the cost of your weekly manicure and pedicure starts to eat into your grocery money, it might be time to scale back a bit. The good news is that there are hundreds of clever and user-friendly manicure and pedicure tools on the market today that make it easy for even first-timers to get the salon look at home. Browse through our manicure and pedicure supplies here.
Use professional applicators. Believe it or not, the way that you put on your makeup can make a big difference in determining how long it will last. Experts say that professional applicators that are designed to spread makeup evenly on the skin can really stretch out your supply, especially when it comes to pricey foundations and concealers. You can see Blush’s selection of professional applicators and brushes here.
Spend strategically. A great way to scale back your makeup costs temporarily is to spend more on a few key products and switch to less expensive brands for your other makeup. For example, if you have problem skin, it may make sense to splurge on top-of-the-line foundation and choose cheaper brands of eye shadow and mascara.
Stick to the basics for the time being. If you added up all of the impulse and misguided beauty buys you make in a year, the total would probably astound you. If you’re trying to cope with a temporary budget crunch, try to stick with tried-and-true products and shades that you’re absolutely sure will work with your colouring, skin type, and lifestyle.
Shop sales. Sales and promotions are always a great way to make your money work harder. If a product that you like happens to be on sale, be sure to stock up on extras. Here at Blush Cosmetics, our everyday prices are already substantially lower than those you’d encounter at your local department store. Be sure to browse our sale section for even deeper discounts!
Don’t let tight finances put a damper on your poise and self-confidence. If you dedicate a little extra thought to your beauty and cosmetics investments and choose products wisely, you can look like a million $$$ on even the most minuscule budget.
