Tip for Saving Money on High-End Mascara
A few brands offer smaller versions of their mascara, which can be a great way to make high-end mascara more affordable (few women will use an entire full-size tube of mascara in three months so a smaller tube means less waste when it's time to swap mascaras).
For example, Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara comes in a 4.8 ml tube for £12 from Cult Beauty; the 8 ml tube costs £22. The smaller tube is more affordable, makes more sense if you'll replace it every three months (less waste) AND the smaller tube is actually cheaper on a £/ml basis anyway!
