Special Deals on Perfume and Cosmetics

Special deals on perfume and cosmetics can be found at stores like CVS, Target, or Walmart. When you want to get a name brand product, just think to yourself, do I really need this product or the name brand? You can get the same essential product for about half the price in one of these stores, versus going to a high end store and purchasing a cosmetic product there.

Let's say you wanted to buy a bottle of perfume. At Nordstroms this could cost anywhere from fifty dollars to two hundred dollars. Whereas at CVS, Target, or Walmart, the same product could cost you at the most thirty dollars. Sometimes you won't find the same exact product but sometimes you will. For instance, I think Nordstroms carries Ralph Lauren perfume. Target also carries Ralph Lauren perfume and it is probably half of the price there. So just think, am I going to Nordstroms just to go to Nordstroms to say that's where I bought my perfume? Or do you want to save big and go to the less expensive store?

This also goes for cosmetics. If you want lipstick, mascara, blush, eyeliner, foundation, or eyeshadow, it could be a lot more cost effective to shop at one of these previously recommended stores. Cosmetics at stores like Nordstroms, Sephora, Macy's, and Sak's Fifth Avenue can be extremely expensive. Although they may have high end products, and I am sure they are great products, you can virtually find the same exact thing at CVS, Target, or Walmart.

At Nordstroms, a tube of lipstick could cost you anywhere from forty dollars to one hundred dollars. Whereas at Target, you could get the same color lipstick for under twenty dollars. If you have the money, I would say if it would make you happier buying the more expensive product, then go ahead and do so. But if you are short on cash and don't exactly want to spend your whole paycheck on makeup, do yourself a favor and buy all of your cosmetics at CVS, Target, or Walmart.

Sometimes these cheaper stores carry their own name brands. In other words, CVS will carry CVS makeup prices. It's great because in the store, you will see the CVS product right next to the name brand product, and you can see where you are getting the better deal. The CVS product is almost always a little bit cheaper than the name brand one.

You basically want to shop around a bit before going out and buying the most expensive item on the market. You could have gone into Nordstroms and already purchased a tube of lipstick, and then the next day find out that CVS sold the same thing for fifty dollars cheaper. After making this mistake, you would probably make more of an effort to shop in CVS for your makeup. A lot of people just end up buying the name brand because they know they are getting better quality, which is true, but if you want to save a few bucks, or don't care about the name brand, you may be doing yourself a huge favor to look for the good deals at these cheaper stores.
