Planning is really key! Figure out what your budget requires, how much do you spend on necessities, savings, and what’s left? How much can you spend on extras like beauty? Consider saving up for really big sales – e.g. around the winter holidays, as many brands have exceptional sales/deals. Think about how often you’d really wear that particular product/color and whether you could get pretty close by mixing two or three products you already own.
