How to use coupons on your favourite beauty products
Is there such a thing as too much makeup? We certainly don’t think so! However, your bank balance may disagree with that sentiment when you’re hunting for just the right shade of lippy for a party… three days before payday. According to recent research, we’re spending an average of £482.51p per year on beauty items, including makeup, skincare products and accessories. While that may not seem like a lot those costs add up. So, how can we save more money on the products we love to buy? Why, with a coupon, of course!
Exercise your brand loyalty
Social media, loyalty cards and clubs, product packaging and e-newsletters are great places to start your search for savings since brands are often keen to reward loyal consumers with further discounts. You may also wish to try writing to a manufacturer with a complaint, compliment or opinion, or checking out multibuy offers when you get to the checkout. Beauty products can have hefty price tags, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any deals available once you do a little research.
Join the online revolution
One of the best ways to save on your favourite beauty products is to sign up for a website dedicated to vouchers, discounts, and price comparisons. Keeping track of countless coupons can be difficult, but many online platforms do the hard work for you, identifying bargains so you can enjoy major savings – sometimes up to 50%. Some sites also offer apps for even easier access. While basic membership is often free, a small monthly fee can unlock enhanced membership benefits and even greater discounts on your favourite beauty buys.
Make a wish list
When it comes to couponing, it’s always wise to make a wish list, ensuring you make the biggest savings on the items you actually want and need. After all, it’s hardly a bargain if you’re buying something just because it’s on sale. Some savvy platforms use smart algorithms to scout the web for the products you purchase most often, sending alerts and coupons based on your listed preferences. Beauty lovers, in particular, can unlock an Aladdin’s cave of lipsticks, skincare products, and accessories, with notifications when a favourite item goes on offer – even if it’s at a shop you’re about to pass. Say goodbye to hundreds of irrelevant deals and hello to wish list items you’ll genuinely want to snap up.
Take heed of reviews
If an offer appears too good to be true, it just might be. Website and product reviews can help you make informed choices about your spending habits before you part with your money – and that includes when using coupons. Many platforms now feature dedicated review sections where members can rate the products and services they’ve received. It’s always wise to check independent feedback and not simply rely on promotional promises.
Remember…
Whether you’ve clipped your coupons or received a voucher via email it’s always worth checking the small print to ensure your deals are valid alongside one another. What does the small print say, and how can your voucher be used? While some discounts are actively encouraged in conjunction with similar deals, others may specify differently.
For many of us beauty items are a necessity, but that doesn’t mean we should spend any more than we have to on those latest must-have products. Whatever it is you’re after you can bet there’s a coupon out there. Clipping coupons has become something of a pastime for many bargain hunters, but modern savings platforms are making it easier than ever to keep hold of your cash. After all, what could be simpler than accessing direct deals, money-saving vouchers, and brand comparisons in one place? Take a leaf out of many a savvy shopper’s book and consider joining a trusted savings site or app – your makeup bag will thank you.
