One of the best places to snag one of those bargains is one of the many £ shops or shops of similar effect like the 99p store.More and more of the popular higher end of drugstore makeup brands are creeping in as of late,examples being Maybellene and Rimmel and also some brands that are rarely seen in the U.k like Cover girl,Wet n Wild and LA colours art deco nail art pens.
"Why do they sell it so cheap?" " I don't want any cheap tacky makeup from in there!" " It's gone off, yuck!" Those may be some of the statements sceptics may say.But let me tell you.... it is FINE! Of course I don't have any scientific evidence but you can tell I'm sure when makeup has gone off and I have never had anything which has.
The main reason I believe as to why these shops have gotten a hold of this makeup is due to it being end of line stock which may include discontinued shades or have been removed due to a change of packaging maybe.It doesn't mean it's been lying around for years at all, in fact it could be quite recently manufactured as the shops sell a lot of well know brand everyday items such as toothpaste,cleaning products etc...that are stocked as current lines in the top supermarkets.
The Lipsticks I Purchased are currently sold in afew different stores and range anywhere from £4-£6 roughly.The shades seem to have been discontinued from what I have seen but what does that matter,if you find a shade you like in the £ shop that's great,it's the same as picking a shade from the current collection.Obvisously buying from the £ shops the stock does change so it won't be as easy to re-purchase.This is not a problem as you can always find something similar or you get the opportunity to change it up alittle at these prices and maybe try a more daring colour! You can also find great deal like two or three products in a bag for £1,I managed to get one of these packs last week,two Vinyl Jelly gloss lip liners! They are great and happen to match the lipsticks I got the other day brilliantly too!
So next time you are going by a £ or 99p store go and have a look.You can find everything from Lipsticks,Lip liners,Eye shadows to Concealers and Foundation.Remember at the end of the day alot of products be it high end or lower are made the same and can be made in the same factory even.Mark up made by the Retailer can determine alot of the prices.It can be shocking though at times when you think the £ stores still make a profit on these items!
Pictures are below of all the items I have purchased recently including lipstick and liner swatches.These products could have potentially cost me around 4 times more collectivly so a great saving I am sure you will agree.To see what items I get like these, go over to my youtube channel which you will find a link to on the right hand side and take a look at my extreme couponing videos.These vids show you any offers I find using coupons or samples I receive through the post for free or just great deals in the shops.The offers are out there if you look!
