by CountryDutchess.comAre you still spending half a paycheck on foundation? Rent money on your lipgloss? Blowing your Christmas Club savings account by mid July for that bronzer to die for? Uh huh, we thought so.
But hey, no one loves make up more than we do, so we feel the need ...and the pain!
But we also have the antidote - because the truth is looking good does not have to cost a lot. And no, we're not talking making your own lipgloss out of beet juice and Vaseline, for heaven's sake!
What we are talking about is the amazing, too fabulous, money-saving extravaganza known as Cosmetic Outlet Shopping!
And yes, like you, we also ADORE places like Sephora and even QVC where the selections are amazing! But really, have you seen the prices? YIKES! And it's really DOUBLE YIKES when you realize how many of the same products sold at these and other top beauty bodegas can be in your hot little hands at 30 %, 40%, 50% less !
How do you find these bargains? It's all in knowing where to shop! And... we're going to tell you! In fact, to help get you started we are are going to let you in on some of our very favorite secret cosmetic outlets - places where you can absolutely get the beauty bargains of a lifetime ...and still have enough left over to pay a bill or two! But you have to promise ...shhhhh ! Only tell the girlfriends you really, really like!
Now that we have your sacred promise, get ready to save and be gorgeous! :)
1. CosmeticsAndMore.com - Amazing, we mean AMAZING buys on everything you can think of from Revlon, Almay and Vital Radiance -at prices that equal less than the tax you'd pay in most retail stores. We' re talking lipglosses for 99 cents, blush for $3.00, those pricey make up primers for under $5.00! The selection changes weekly (sometimes daily) so shop early and often to get the best deals.
2.SallyBeauty.com - Hair care, appliances, skin care, make up - if you wear it Sally sells it - and she sells it at a discount that's hard to beat! All name brands, the hottest new looks - all at HUGE savings!
3. Perfumania.com - Most of you may be already familiar with this discount fragrance outlet. But did you know you can also find some amazing cosmetics at prices that are hard to believe?
Lip glosses for under $3.00, a too-fabulous creme blush for $2.99, amazing nail polish colors for just $1.99 - well you'll just have to visit to believe it!
4. EyesLipsFace.com - Okay...the make up here is just so inexpensive it's almost silly! Truly, every single product is .....get ready...$1.00!

And amazingly, the quality of the products is a whole lot better than you might expect for the price. In fact, it easily compares to "drugstore" brands at 10 times the price, and some products (particularly the glosses) are equally as good as those that sell for $25.00 in department stores! Seriously, 10 bucks will net you an entire new make up bag full of goodies - and add another dollar and you'll get the bag too!
