the Best (& Cheapest) Places to Buy Makeup Online

 I am a stay-at-home Mom.And by stay-at-home, I mean I REALLY stay at home. I am disabled and have a 4 year old son, so whenever possible, I do my shopping online. Because of this I have done alot of research and my many hours of googling have made me sort of an expert on where to get the best deals possible. I am sure many of you already know about some of these sites, but I wanted to share these with you just in case you haven't.
 Many of these sites also have coupons available, and if you sign up to get emails from them they will notify when they are having a sale , and sometimes send coupons directly to you.


 My all-time favorite site,eyeslipsface( e.l.f. ) is famous for doing this- I get emails from them a few times a week, telling me about sales and also coupons. They are incredibly affordable and the quality of their products is amazing!Prices start at $1, and they frequently have 50% off sales. If you have never tried them, you will be pleasantly surprised!!

There are two sites, bh cosmetics & Coastal Scents, that are very similar, they both have amazing deals on palettes, and super-soft, amazing brushes. They also have really good sales, and they have them just about every week. You can also find coupon codes for them -just google it and you will see a long list of options. I tend to choose Coastal Scents for eye shadows, because some of them are extremely pigmented (see my Youtube channel for my reviews on them!), and some are exact dupes for MAC shadows. I LOVE their shadows-they are, without a doubt, my favorite. The "Think Pink" palette and the "Creative Me 1" are my 2 most used palettes! I prefer bh cosmetics for my brushes, because they have a wide variety of brush sets, all of which are so soft and the highest quality, and they have outstanding sales on them.
I recommend checking out both sites before you place an order, just so you can see who has what on sale at that particular time. And don't forget to sign up for the emails!!

If you want name brand, high-end makeup, but don't want to pay full price for it (Who does!?), then you need to check out ACW (All Cosmetics Wholesale). They have brands like NARS, MAC,Urban Decay, Dior, Lime Crime, and many , many more. The prices are unbelievable! I purchase a few Urban Decay palettes for under $20 each! You can save an extra 30% off of the sale items too, just use the code "SALE30" when you checkout. This site is something you really need to see for yourself- and the name brands say it all. No guessing on the quality of the products!
