Things You'll Need:
- A computer
- 3x5 cards
- A pen or pencil
-
Step 1
Best makeup buys are easy to find if you have a simple system. First check online at the makeup companies themselves. They will usually list their special savings on the introductory page.
-
Step 2
Don't stop there! When looking for best makeup buys the next step is to compare. Website search engines such as Google are perfect for this. Check to see if you are really getting a good deal. Then it's time to seal your selection.
-
Step 3
Cosmetic websites usually offer codes for special customers. These codes allow you to get special freebies along with any order. For instance, if they normally give out 3 samples you might actually be able to get 15 samples with the right code!
-
Step 4
Get on the mailing list! You don't have to use your regular email box. Sign up for an additional email at places like Yahoo and use that address only for your makeup offers. That way any time you check your mail you'll know what's hot on the list.
-
Step 5
Shop discount cosmetics. Often you'll find the very sample items that were listed full price in retail stores for very little money at the dollar store.
-
Step 6
Compare colors to get the best makeup buys. You can take one expensive product and match it with others in a cheaper brand and often find one that you like just as much if not more.
-
Step 7
The best makeup buys are almost always Kits and Lip Glosses. This is especially true when the larger cosmetic companies offer select kits during holidays and seasonal specials. But don't stop there! Find your favorites on Ebay.
-
Step 8
Discovering best makeup buys is fun! Remember to write your favorite find on a little 3x5 card and keep it in your purse or makeup kit. The next time you want another item you'll remember where you got it and at what price!
