Six savvy ways to slash your summer beauty bill by grabbing some bargain make-up
WANT to slash your summer beauty bill while still looking fabulous?
Switch to secondhand products or try outlet shopping to see if you can score a beauty of a bargain.
BLOGGER BARGAINS: Reliked. com teams up with beauty bloggers and influencers who often receive too many products to keep and too many shades to try.
You can find cult beauty buys, barely used, for a fraction of the usual cost, such as a Charlotte Tilbury eyeliner, RRP £25, for £17, or L’Oreal lipsticks for around £6.
NEW DROPS: While Vinted is mainly a place to buy and sell fashion, it also allows users to buy and sell new cosmetics, perfumes, and other beauty products or gadgets.
You might find something that was given as a gift for a fraction of the cost.
OUTLET DISCOUNTS: There’s a wide range of make-up, skincare, and haircare items from popular brands at significantly reduced prices at beautyoutlet.co.uk.
Check the website or visit a local store to see the latest deals, such as Revolution Concealer, usually £9, now £2.
LOVE THE IMPERFECTIONS: If you don’t mind a few scratches or dents in the packaging, search for “imperfect beauty” on eBay.co.uk.
You’ll find brand new products with minor damage to the packaging, for much less than the retail price.
It’s a great way to score high-quality items without paying full price.
CHECK DETAILS: Remember to only buy from reputable sellers, and as with all auction sites, do carefully check the photos and ask for proof of purchase if necessary, so you know that you are getting an authentic item.
EXCESS SAVINGS: Quite often the big beauty brands produce too many products or undergo a brand refresh.
TK Maxx offers these items at discounted prices to avoid them ending up in landfill sites.
Currently, you can find top brand products such as Eve Lom and L’Oreal for less than half the normal price.
