As much as I love makeup, I honestly loving saving money on the products that I want and have to have even more. TBH, I rarely buy any products without some type of discount, even if its something that I really want.
Today, I want to share of few of my tips for saving money on makeup!
Hautelook is my go to for high end
makeup or hard to find brands at a discount. It is basically a flash sale
website ran by Nordstrom that offers discounts on all types of brands and types
of products. They always feature amazing brands such as Urban Decay, Kevyn
Aucoin, Becca, and Stila When I first tried out Morphe, I ordered my
palette on this website for $15 dollars as opposed to the Morphe website price
of 25 dollars. They have different sales every single day and I highly
recommend this site! The customer service is good, although sometimes the
shipping times can be slow!

Budget Beauty Guru and other Budget Beauty Bloggers
As much as time as I spend on the
internet, I really rely on other bloggers like Budget Beauty
Guru on Instagram to find those hard to come by makeup sales. I have really maximized my savings by following her. I love @budgetbeautyguru on Instagram because she post her deals right on IG so I
don't have to run to a website for great deal alerts!I have really maximized my savings by following her. Follow her and I promise you won't regret it.
3. Subscription Boxes
Subscription boxes are awesome for
my beauty lovers that love to try new products and don't mind not knowing
exactly what they are getting. My favorite thing about subscription boxes is
paying a set price and usually getting way over that amount in the retail value
of the box. This is also an awesome way to find new product faves. There are
sooo many Beauty Subcription boxes to choose from, but my favorites are hands
down Boxy Charm and Ipsy. Boxycharm is a $21 dollar a month subscription
box and you typically well over 100 dollars worth of product in each monthly
box. Ipsy is 10 dollars and features 5 popular or up and coming beauty
products. I love this box for staying up to date with beauty trends and I love
the makeup bags that come each month.

4. Ebates
Ebates is awesome especially if you
are an online shopper. It's basically a website that you sign up for that pays
you to shop. All you need to do is shop at your favorite retailers through the
Ebates website and you can earn up to 40% cash back on your purchases. There
are like 2,000 stores on the site including Ulta, Sephora, and Macy's, which
means you can get an additional savings on top of anything that you purchase! I
personally love E-bates when I am making full price purchases because I still
feel like I am saving a little money. Now typically the Cash back percentage is
typically under 10%, but they always have Double Cash Back Events all the time!
Another cool advantage of using this websites is that they offer additional
coupon codes like Free Shipping on top of the cash back. This website seriously
saves me so much money on anything that I buy online.

5. Rewards Programs
I live for a good rewards program
with awesome benefits. Most larger stores have Rewards programs that make
shopping easier. My favorite rewards program has to be the Ultamate Rewards offered
at Ulta because you can actually get money back for every amount that you spend
in the store. For every 1 dollar you spend a point and for every 100 points you
get 3 dollars, but the bonus is that they almost always 2x and 3x points deals
on your purchase, so it really is so easy to rack up points. Another benefit of
this rewards program is that you can use it on ANY item in the store including
high end products. Did I mention Mac will be offered at Ulta starting in May!

6. Influenster
The final way to save money on
beauty products and makeup is to sign up for Influenster! This website is a
basically a way that anyone can test free products based on their social
influence. Not only is this a way to try new products for free, its also a place
to find honest reviews on every type of product you can think of. I have been
able to try so many different products from Becca, ELF, L'oreal and much more
for free. The only thing you have to do it sign up and take any survey that
they send your way to qualify for the Vox Boxes. Once you get the box, you just
test the product and give honest reviews and thats it! I recommend this website
to anyone who loves to try out the latest products and don't mind voicing their
opinion. They also just introduced a new Coupons and Deals page when you can
find exclusive savings on products you love!
