Hey guys I come to you today bringing vital advice that no one really wants to think about but what everyone really needs to think about (did you get tongue twisted, I did). Lets face it, its no money month, the economy isn't doing great and the prices of make-up are soaring ever higher so we could all do with saving a few pennies so here I am willing to help. -GM

1. Research

There are millions and I mean millions of products out there and with absolutely no guarantees of quality, how are we supposed to know what products are great and what products are just not worth your well earned pounds? And that's where the internet comes in, the unlimited supply of reviews, swatches, blog post and videos with all the information you need to know about your desired product, do not let this go to waste make sure the products you buy are worth it before you open your purse.  Another thing to remember is just because something costs £30 and another £10 doesn't mean the £30 is better sometimes "you get what you pay for" just ain't true there are many dupes out there of high end products so think twice before you go splurging. 

    2. Have patience! Wait for the offers!

Superdrug and Boots are notorious for their 3 for 2 offers on cosmetics, at least every three months those signs appear on the window advertising those delicious offers and inside I feel my reserve crack and I must go in and have a look.So if your thinking of treating yourself have patience and wait till you get that tiny bit more for your money.

    3. Make a List

Its so easy to do it. To get distracted by the glittering packaging and the bright lights. And its not till you get home you think " When will I ever use this?" My advise is to make yourself a nice list of the things you need and the things you really wan't to get. That way when you go into the stores you know exactly what to get and you wont waste money on stuff you don't really care about. 

    4. Shop Online

This is a simple one to explain, in my experience it is usually cheaper to purchase products online even with the added shipping cost, it also makes it so easy to compare the various prices in the comfort of your own home.

   5. Look out for the discount codes!

This links in with shopping online as the possibility of a discount code comes in to the question. Search about on the internet and on popular YouTube videos for discount codes for the various makeup sites.
