Psst:

how do you score beauty products for a softer price?

I really love the sale, in fact, I've never paid full price for designer items. But what about makeup products? Because as a beautyaholic, it would be nice if sometimes a bit of the price of my favorites could be snipped off. I researched this thoroughly. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Newsletters

This sounds very silly, but I would immediately sign you up for the newsletters of the Bijenkorf, the Douglas and the ICI Paris XL You will be kept well informed about upcoming offers, and they are wonderful. Because what do you think of the Three Crazy Days? Or 20 percent off all beauty brands at ICI Paris? So from now on, you'll be the first to know.

Loyalty Card

This also has a bit of a nerdy aspect, but you can actually get a lot of benefits with it. For example, my mother has a credit card from Bijenkorf, and with every purchase she makes with it, she earns points that she can spend at Bijenkorf itself. Handy, right?

Online

I would stay very far away from eBay if you want to buy makeup, because you never know if it's real or unused. But you can also shop online at that same bee department store, look here Sports leggings.

Outlet Roermond

I don't know if you've ever been to this outlet with great brands like Nike, Prada, and Calvin Klein? Now I have another reason for you, because you can now also score beauty products there. The Body Shop has a little store there, and, ta-da, L’Oréal has also been there since last month, with many products at half price. Good for us, but also for the world, as it significantly reduces waste.

Buy & Fly

I often don't bother to scour the airport perfumeries for good deals, but this is actually very handy. And especially pay attention to products with a blue arrow saying ‘Lowest Price Guarantee’, because then you are definitely getting the lowest price. Also check the Schiphol newspaper for the special offers.

Friends

“Oh no, I don't need anything,” I always reply when friends are going abroad again. I'm going to stop doing that from now on, because especially in America, cosmetic products are much cheaper. And how much does a lipstick weigh anyway? Give your friend a very specific task with an article number, because then the seller will have found and packed it in no time. Have a nice day!
