Great Cosmetics Cost Cutting Hunt

megsykins

I know it's not the first place people think of for cosmetics, but eBay can be useful.
One product I like are Frownies, an american product which I've only found in posh dept stores over here for around £20+; on eBay for less than £10 inc P&P. :j

lyniced - you might even be able to get hold of a Nails Inc polish pen on eBay (I always think QVC cosmetics are a bit over priced)

Also, H&M do an own-brand lipgloss that IMO is as good as Lancome's Juicy Tubes

Hi,
I have used https://www.beverlybeaute.com recently, and their service is great. OPI nail polish is £4.50 instead of £8-£9, and the p&p is £3 flat rate. They do lots of different ranges as well (inc. nails inc lyniced)- all new stock not old colours. They are based in the U.S. and when a polish was damaged in the post they immediately sent a replacement with an e-mail apology.

Become an avon lady. You don't have to go door to door, you can just sign up for friends and family. All reps get a link brochure showing new products coming out 2 campaigns ahead which you can purchase at a demonstration price which is a fraction of the normal brochure price. The brochure offers are good as well they often do buy 2, get one free offers and you find several customers will order 1 so when you put your orders through you get all the free ones. I've only being doing avon 3 campaigns and i have already got 3 free remington hairdryers, loads of free lipsticks and eye shadows plus i ended up with 7 free handbags so my daughters friends all love me lol. The current link offer is 18 bottles of shampoo/conditioners which you select from there range for £12.40 so i've stocked up on them. You only need to look at the prices avon stuff is going for on ebay to realise how many reps are getting it cheap as they wouldn't be making a profit otherwise. Plus you get 25% commission so that more than covers the cost of my own purchases.

To scent your underwear/sweaters etc. try placing empty bottles of perfume in your clothes drawers. Uwrapped bars of soap work well too - and they get harder and last longer as a result.

Thanks for that meece - one of my all time favourite products, Qtica half time polish dryer at a brilliant price. Had a load of birthday money today (lucky me!) so some of it will be spent on this.

Lyttlewonder you are right about the Liz Earle stuff, that is something else my money is going on. There is a Liz Earle TSV on QVC today but can't remember what it is off the top of my head.

Jut wanted to say I've posted about some Liz Earle offers in a separate thread, as didn't realize this one was here. Got to agree , Liz Earle stuff is fab & most of it lasts ages so it works out quite economically in the long run.
