OK beauty buffs, we all know that the upcoming fall season is the perfect excuse to go out and buy more beauty products (no judgment), but before you head out to the nearest drugstore, Sephora, Ulta, or department store, here are a few tips to keep in mind for your fall beauty haul.
Read BWN. We don't mean to toot our own horn here, but, toot toot! We love to keep our readers up to speed on all things beauty, so check us out for the latest news, trends, and daily updates!
Plan Ahead. It's time to exact a beauty plan of action. So you have read the scoop on all the latest collections for fall. Now this might be a little tough, but narrow down what you'd like to try to what you're dying to try. We know, easier said than done, but beauty is pain.
Budget. Now the second painful part of the process. The key to any successful beauty haul is not feeling guilty when you arrive home with your bag or bags of goodies. Staying within your budget is the best way to ensure this doesn't happen. Our advice? Include room for one or two splurge items and keep the rest affordable. Guilt gone.
Steak Out. Now it's time to do a little more homework. Every store doesn't carry every brand, so your haul may take you to a few different places. Check to see if the brands you're looking to buy are available beforehand and if your haul includes a limited edition, definitely head there first!
No Hoarding! Even if you're a nail junkie, perfume perfectionist, or lipstick lova, be sure your haul has something for every part of your regimen. From makeup to nail, fragrance, and skincare, try to snag a newbie in each category so there are no beauty shoulda-coulda-wouldas when you get your haul home.
Keep an Open Mind. Beauty reviews are a dime a dozen, so read up on what your favorite gurus have to say and then if you're still curious, try a product out for yourself. What doesn't work for someone else, might be just the right addition to your own beauty regime.
You Win Some, You Lose Some. Be prepared not to love everything you haul home and try. Be prepared to be underwhelmed by some items, and wowed by the ones you least expected to be your new fall favorites. It's what makes a haul exciting! And if you love everything you get, lucky you!
Have Fun! A haul should be a stress-free outing. Whether you go solo for some me-time, or want to pamper yourself alongside friends, remember it's all about trying new things and picking products that will work for you.
