Fall is here and it’s time to refresh your colors for the season. It’s time for some warmth and glow. Fall calls for soft browns, greens, and even bolder hues such as purple and blue. I have been hearing “I can’t afford new makeup” so often lately. What if I told you that you could get an entire fall makeup collection for less than $20?
There are many places that I love to buy makeup when my budget is tight. I plan on showing deals from all of these places, but today we will start with my favorite… CVS Pharmacy. It’s right down the street from almost everyone. They carry a huge selection of many great brands and offer returns on makeup as long as you keep your receipt! This week there are so many great deals with Extra Care Bucks. Below are two different scenarios where you can get a full set of fall makeup for less than $20. You will have to do separate transactions in order to spend less out of pocket. My scenarios do include coupons from the Sunday paper, but even without them you will get a great deal!
This first scenario will get you an eyeshadow palette (9 colors!), lip gloss, lipstick, and a nail polish.
