"Let your past make you bettter, not bitter."

I absolutely love this quote because I am the type of person that can sometimes dwell on things that have happened in the past, and most of the time they end up putting me in a bad mood.  So thinking of this helps bring me back to the present and it acts as a reminder to LEARN from the past and move on. (:

What does this quote mean to you?

Beauty on a Budget!

If you’re a makeup lover like I am then you can relate to how expensive acquiring a decent collection can be!  Now-a-days even drugstore makeup prices have been creeping up!  But all hope is not lost for there are quite a few things you can do to save money and still score the products you love!  Keep reading to find out how!

Check the sales paper each week especially for drugstores, since almost every weekend they run sales on various makeup brands.  The sales can range from BOGO (buy one get one free), to buy one and get the other item for half off!  Or sometimes they will just have $1-$3 a particular product.

Cut out coupons for even greater savings.  You can find coupons online or in the Sunday paper (at least where I live).  A lot of stores will accept coupons even when an item is on sale.  The best places to do this are at your local drugstore.  For example if a product is on sale and its BOGO you can still apply a coupon to that product.  The most exciting part is if you have TWO coupons for the brand on makeup that you’re buying, since your still technically buying two products (even though one is free) you can use both coupons! YAY!

Join e-mailing lists for your favorite stores.  A lot of companies will send out e-mails that contain special coupons or access to limited “secret sales” which offer up the chance to score some good deals!

Sign up for reward programs since a lot of them offer great perks! Perks can include additional savings on products that aren’t available to non-reward members, or special gifts that you can “purchase” with the reward points that you have accrued ( Sephoras Beauty insider program is a perfect example of this

I hope you all found this post to be helpful! If you have any additional money saving tips or tircks, comment and then me know! Thanks for reading! :D
Stay beatuiful,
