As a self-described "beauty junkie", I love exploring both high-end and drugstore makeup. High-end makeup is something that is not as easy for me to purchase though. I find it hard to justify spending a ton of money on something I could easily find at the drugstore for way less. There are exceptions of course. The Naked palette, although not extremely high-end, was something I made an exception for because of the use I knew I would get out of it. I've manged to save on more expensive makeup by following a few simple rules:
1. Wait for coupon codes:
-Sephora does 20% off your entire purchase a couple times a year. Make a list of what you want and then snag them for a good discount (Hello Dior bronzer!)
-Ulta sends their rewards members good coupons in the mail (the 20% ones are usually good for high end products)
2. Don't forget to use EBATES:
I stumbled acrouss this a year ago and have since earned some decent cash back on things I was already planning to purchase online. Ebates also does daily doubles which doubles the usual percent of cash back for a limited time.
3. Become a member of Hautelook
One thing I love about Hautelook is that you can score products that have just been released. Case in point: I was interested in The Balm Jovi and Nude 'Tude palettes by The Balm and was able to get them for around $19 each instead of the usual $39.50 and $36.00 retail prices.
4. Check the brand's website:
Some brands, such as The Balm, will offer a discount code just for your first order. Others want to you to join a newsletter.
