So, Black Friday is coming up quicker than we can imagine! These

tips are mainly applied to Black Friday but, can be used for

whenever you go to the mall/plazas/anywhere! Whenever we

think of Black Friday, we think of days where people get trampled,

shot, etc. There is much more to Black Friday than that. It helps

those who are poorer than others stay in style and look cute at

school. It helps mothers get their Christmas Shopping in for a

good price. Black Friday has so much to it that you just need

some help sometimes. So, here are my top 5 tips for you!

Know your shopping!

Before you go into Sephora, do you ever thing 'Man! I'm only

gonna spend $100!' and then you walk out with around $300 worth

of makeup? I know some people who have! So this Black Friday

before you go into your favorite store, download their app, check

their website, etc. This will help you to get discounts on your

favorite items. Also, find out their sale dates, there are more than

1 day a year where stuff is on sale. Mark the dates on your

calendar so you will hardly ever buy full price again!

Find deals and sales!

As I mentioned above, you need to find sales. At Sephora

everything is usually $20+. If you are just going to get a Beauty

Blender, find a coupon/sale. It is almost 100% guaranteed that the

actual store app, website, etc. will have the coupons. But, for more

expensive items, you will need to go to the website that makes the

product for deals and coupons. Also, you should buy in kits

instead of singulars because it is usually better priced. A good

way to find EXCLUSIVE deals is to sign up for the e-mail

newsletters and product reveals.

Look up & down!

It you work at a store, you probably know that placement is

everything. They put the most expensive name brand items at

eye level and cheaper items either lower or higher up. For

example, they will put the NUDE smokey eye palettes at eye level

and the NYX smokey eye palettes lower down. This is because

when you are shopping you probably aren't going to be looking

down or up. You will be looking straight ahead which means more

profit for the store.
