We have our second guest post here for you today!
Today we have Beauty Bird from Ramblings of a Beauty Bird, hope you enjoy!
First of all thank
you so much to the girls at CSI Beauty Blog for asking me to guest post! I’m a
regular reader of their blog, so it’s an honour to write for them. This is also
my first ever guest post, so pretty exciting!
In the past few months I seem to have had so much
to pay for; my car tax and MOT fall in the same month and me and my boyfriend
finally decided to go ahead and get a puppy! So I've needed to cut down in
other areas and when it comes to beauty products I've set myself a "go
cheaper" challenge. Basically the essence of the challenge is to replace
any of my used up products with a dupe, or very similar product, that is
cheaper. I've not set myself really strict rules on this otherwise I know I'll
never stick to them! Especially as there's a few products that I just love too
much to replace with something different. I wish I could do a spending ban but
I know it would never happen!!
Here's
what I've come up with for my go cheaper challenge! I've primarily shopped
around online, with the aim of picking up some discounts here. Where I have
found a product online cheaper than RRP, I've made a note of the website
afterwards.
