It's the most wonderful time of the year
Yup that is correct!
You like nice things!
You like rock bottom prices!
July is the time to SHOP till you drop!
This is the time of year stores start trying to clear things out fast to make room for the fall merchandise.
Though it seems sad because we look forwards for the summer and it is just starting ... but stores are thinking ahead of the game and need to make room for the next batch.
So if you like the sound of 75-90% off keep you eyes peeled for the clearance table to section in every store you go too.
I have already stocked up on my fav Body Shop Gift sets and makeup. I have enough for gifts and enough for me to be smelling like mango or strawberry for at least the next year :P!
So the today's tip for any women out there that really wants to get the most bang for her buck.
If you want cool edgy make up to have in your possession, but don't want to drop that cash for $20 eye shadows and eyeliners that you will likely not wear that often... this is the time to get those experimental colours.
I got the coolest eye liners, lip glosses, body and make up glitter and eye makeup palettes from the body shop over the last 2 weeks. They also had lots of cool nail polish colours but I passed I have way too much and don't actually run a nail salon so 50 plus shades is way more then enough for me.
The liners cost $2 vs $20, the glitter $2, the glosses where $3..... the eyeshadow palette was $5 and has a build in mirror.
There are fun cheap ways to pump up for collection and change up your look with quality products.
When I was 18 I was buying $40 bottles of Lacome make up glitter that were 10 ml. Now I am getting a comparable product that comes in numerous colours for $2.
On top of that if you have a points card you will get credit towards other stuff. I think I spend around $100 and got $20 in store credit. Everything I bought was 75% off or more and I used the $20 to buy somethings that were also marked down as low.
In short AMAZING deals to be got in July.
So shopping for gifts now is a wise idea for someone who hates the stress and mark ups of last minute gift shopping before Christmas.
