Premium save money on beauty products suggestions? The Debenhams Beauty Club Card is specifically for customers buying beauty and fragrance products (so it won’t work for clothes, for instance). You earn three points for every £1 you spend, and for every 500 points you earn, you get £5 to spend in-store or online. This means you have to spend over £167 to get a £5 reward, which doesn’t sound great. However, the card comes with a range of other perks too, like free standard delivery on all online beauty orders, free samples and makeovers, and birthday treats, including a free facial by Elizabeth Arden. Never say no to a freebie! With the Superdrug Health & Beautycard, you’ll earn one point for every £1 you spend, but there are a number of special deals to help you rack up points quicker. Every 100 points you earn will give you £1 to spend in-store, and unlike the Boots Advantage Card, you can use them for part-payments. Each Thursday, you’ll get access to exclusive discounts on a different brand, and you’ll also get a special birthday treat. See more details at Tips to Save Money On Your Favorite Beauty Products.

I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but I do like to wear blush. It makes me look more vibrant and alive, and so I don’t mind spending a little more money on blush. Similarly, I have a friend who only wears mascara, so all of her makeup budget goes toward mascara. Choose the important products and treat them as a splurge – or the only makeup you purchase at all. Sometimes it really doesn’t matter what product you use as long as it is applied properly. Applying eye shadow with a Q-tip is not going to look as good as an eye shadow brush no matter what brand you choose. Good brushes can be very expensive so you need to make sure that you take proper care of them. If you spend more money on brushes, you’ll be able to get away with buying cheaper makeup.

Sometimes the local beauty schools will have their students, who are getting ready to graduate, offer their services to the public for a much cheaper rate. A previous co-worker used to get her hair and nails done at a local beauty school and she was happy with their work. Before my husband started cutting our kids’ hair when COVID hit, we used to take our boys to the local barber school for their haircuts. They always did a great job and we saved quite a bit of money. This list of frugal ways to save money on beauty products and services would not be complete without talking about DIY. Whether it’s manicures, pedicures, facials, hair color, or waxing, DIYing your regular beauty treatments will save you tons of money over the course of the year.

Recycling makeup packaging can be kind to both your purse and the planet. These brands have set up schemes that reward you with freebies if you return their product packaging: One of the most well-known makeup recycling schemes is Back to Mac. Return six primary packaging containers to a Mac counter and you’ll get a free lipstick of your choice. The packaging can be pretty much anything (e.g. empty blusher pots or foundation bottles) but they have to be primary packaging. This means that things like paper boxes and cellophane wrappers aren’t included in the scheme.

This may seem obvious, but many people think they must buy salon-quality shampoo or department store makeup. If you have always used pricey name brand products, you may not realize that many good, inexpensive brands exist. Challenge yourself to downgrade one product, to see if the cheaper product is an acceptable substitute. Typically, buying in bulk or buying the largest size available saves you some money. If you do this for all your toiletries, you can see how the savings quickly accumulate. Make sure to check the price per unit when purchasing the largest size available. Sometimes stores purposely charge more for the largest sizes, knowing that shoppers automatically think they can get the best deal on the family size. Find additional details on jt.org.
