We all love a good bargain don't we? I'm the first to admit, the minute I find a good deal, I'll be texting practically every one I know to make sure they don't miss out!
One thing that can be a little more tricky to find at a discounted price is makeup. I'm an avid lover of TK Maxx and will hunt down a good beauty bargain in there at every given opportunity. However, sometimes you do find a lot of the products you'll come across have been opened, or damaged, hence why they're discounted.
At Chemist4U you can find some amazing deals on beauty products ranging from makeup, to skin and haircare.. and the best part? They're all unused and unopened! Brand new products at a discount, yes please!
I managed to get my hands on 6 items for less than £30, which is a bargain considering a few of these items retail for around £10 each.
So, let's take a look at what I picked up..
The first few items that caught my eye were nail polishes. Their site had a lot (and I mean a lot), of different colours from different brands. Immediately I saw they sold OPI polishes, which I'm a HUGE fan of. I don't actually own too many OPI shades as normally they're around £10 a bottle, which I can't justify, so see these more of a treat. I picked up three shades from different past collections.
The first shade is 'Rollin In Cashmere' which is from a holiday collection in collaboration with Gwen Stefani. Out of the three polishes, this one is probably my favourite. It's a more of a pearly gold, and honestly looks like gold silk in a bottle!
The second shade is 'I Carol About You' which as you can guess from the name, is also part of the Gwen Stefani holiday collection. I've been looking for a purple shade just like this for the longest time now! It's slightly metallic, but it doesn't look like it would pick up too much on the nails.
And the final shade is 'Here today.. Aragon Tomorrow', which if I'm correct, is part of a Spanish collection they did a while back. This shade may not be for everyone, but green is actually my favourite colour, so I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this one!
All of these polishes were only £2.99!
Moving onto some makeup goodies now, I found this interesting little Revlon Travel Set on the Chemist4U site priced at £11.99, making it the most expensive item on my list. I did some research, and apparently this set retails for £22, so it's a pretty good bargain! In this set you get 3 tubes of the Revlon Ultimate All-In-One Mascara, and the Revlon Colourstay Eyeliner Pencil. Three mascaras and an eyeliner for £11.99.. seems like a steal!
The final two items I picked up were a lipstick, and a set of false lashes. I have to admit, these were the two I expected more of a discount on. The lipstick is in the shade 'Star Dust' and is part of the Colour Elixir Range from Max Factor, and was priced at £4.49. It is still quite a bit of discount as in Boots these lipsticks currently retail at £7.99, but I feel like it wasn't the best deal on the site. The lashes weren't discounted by much to be honest, priced at £4.51, and retailing at £5.40, it's a little disappointing. But anything is better than nothing, right? I've never tried any Eyelure lashes before, and loved how natural these ones looked so I'm very excited to test them out!
All in all, I think I'll definitely be shopping with Chemist4U again. You definitely need to research into some of the products to see if you are getting a good deal, but it's well worth it. Like I said, my total was under £30, so I think 100% got my moneys worth, especially with the nail polishes! You can also find good deals on skincare, haircare and other toiletries, not just makeup.
