Now.. if anyone knows me, they’ll know that I love nothing more than a bargain. In fact, I refuse to buy anything at full price until I find out if I can get some sort of discount on it. If it dosen’t exist cheaper on google or on ebay then, as painful as it is, i’ll cough up my hard earned cash.
It’s not that i’m cheap. I’d like to call it “price conscious”.
Especially when it comes to makeup. I live my life working with it so I like a child in a candy store, I could easily bankrupt myself with buying “oooh just one more” of a colour I probably already have but like the way this one feels, looks, is packaged.
As a professional makeup artist there are lots of discounts available if you simply just ask. Many companies offer Membership Programmes. These include:
