There are a ton of inexpensive alternatives to name brand pricey high end products, and many tricks you can use to get the most of out the ones you already have.
1. One of my favorite dupes for makeup brush cleanser is Johnson's Baby Shampoo, you can buy this almost anywhere, it works just as well, and it costs almost nothing. A large bottle will last you months.
2. Get the last of any liquid makeup out of a tube using hot
water and a small container, like a contact case.
3. The hot water trick also works for getting the clumps out
of dried mascara. You can also add a few drops of saline to old mascara to make
it good as new.
Reuse old brushes from more expensive brands in new bottles of
cheaper mascara. Just rinse your brush in hot water to get rid of
clumps and
you’re ready to go.
4. Makeup remover wipes are great. Problem is…those makeup remover cloths are EXPEN$IVE!
Especially the big brand name ones. So for quite awhile now I’ve been buying
the cheapest, store brand ones. But ANOTHER problem is…the cheap ones are CHEAP
for a reason. They aren’t as soft and/or
moist as their more expensive rivals.
You can make your own:
Just take some paper towels, 4 cups of warm water, 1-2 tablespoons Coconut Oil. (1-2 squirts
of baby wash or your favorite face wash if you want, but it’s not necessary)
5. If your perfume is running low, pour the last drops into a
bottle of (unscented!) lotion to make it last longer.
6. Cut open bottles to get all the product you might be missing
otherwise. ***This is a huge one***
You never know how much is left that you cant see.
7. Fix broken eye shadows and pressed powders with a little
rubbing alcohol. Or, turn broken eye shadow into a custom nail color by mixing
the pigment with clear polish.
8. Beauty tools are a huge expense and add up quickly. Cut your makeup sponges and cotton rounds in half to get
more uses out of them, you'll quickly realise how much you've been wasting that you don't even use.
