Many of us, male or female, shop for beauty or skincare products. And there’s no escaping the fact that some of them are ridiculously expensive. Granted, some of them are justifiably so. But certainly not all of them. Often times the only thing you’re paying for is someone’s name or brand on the box or bottle.
Or the packaging with their name or brand on it. Frankly, I’m not interested in paying more for an item because it came in a lovely, sparkly box. However, if my guy is handing me jewelry that’s in a lovely sparkly box, I have no problem with that. It’s just that the box isn’t necessary, and I sincerely hope he didn’t pay extra for it!
If you’re someone who is okay with paying for a name, that’s cool. You do you. Everybody gets to do what they want with their own money. But times are tough for a lot of people, and what they may have been able to afford in the past have become luxuries.
But hold on. Should your skin care be a luxury? I sure don’t think so. And I may be choosing to spend more on eye-makeup instead of lipstick these days, but I’m still wearing make-up.
So in light of the fact that many are in a position where they need to look for great deals on skin care and makeup, I’ve put together a list of pretty outstanding deals.
The best part? The deals are so good you may be able to afford to pick up several things instead of just one.
Have fun shopping!
