Makeup addicts, rejoice! There are easy ways out there to score tons of free beauty products whenever you want—as long as you know where to look.
Shopping for makeup can be a pain, for you and your wallet. It’s time-consuming, expensive, and it’s nearly impossible to leave without buying something you definitely never needed in the first place.
Fortunately, while you may not be able to curb your makeup habit, you can get everything you want without spending an arm and a leg.
To get the most bang for your buck, here are some of the best tips to find free or super cheap makeup:
Join Beauty Clubs
Almost all major makeup manufacturers offer their own beauty insider clubs, but even the savviest shoppers tend to overlook them. A lot of women think they’re going to find their mailboxes full if they sign up for one of these clubs, but that’s simply not true. Beauty insider members often score free samples, coupons, and steep discounts on all their favorite products just by signing up.
Join Store Clubs
Just like manufacturer clubs, store clubs—Sephora, Ulta, etc.—offer tons of awesome perks to their club members. Not only can you rack up coupons, discounts, and rewards points, you can also get free gifts. Sephora, in particular, offers Beauty Insider members gifts on their birthdays.
Social Strategy
Follow all your favorite brands, stores, and free sample sites on Facebook to get first dibs on exclusive freebies, coupons, discounts, and deals! Seriously, your next free sample could be waiting for you to collect on your news feed as we speak.
Don’t Overlook Drugstore Products
Why would you spend $22 on a new lipstick at Sephora when you could get a perfect dupe for $8 at CVS? Even the biggest makeup addict should never be too proud to buy drugstore products. Simply type “best drugstore beauty products” into Google to find all the most well-reviewed products online now.
One Word: BOGO
Retailers like Target, Walmart, and CVS offer tons of BOGO free and 50%-off deals online, so always be on the lookout for these deals in the beauty department. You won’t believe the savings you’ll score!
Online Brand Sites
Check the sites of all of your favorite brands to find exclusive savings on makeup and beauty products online. Love e.l.f? Check their site! While Target and CVS have plenty of deals on the cult-favorite brand, you can find just as many exclusive sales on e.l.f.’s own website.
