They say you can’t buy happiness. And you believe in it until it comes to vital things. And it’s not about overseas delicacies. After all, your favorite cosmetics have also risen in price. How can you stay beautiful without being hungry? There should be enough money for everything! Woman’s Day learned from the Chelyabinsk beauties what comes to their aid: two-in-one products will replace a couple of different products and thus allow them to stay with a bonus.
Means “two in one” appeared quite a long time ago – back in the 80s of the last century, but they have become truly popular today. This can be explained not only by the financial side of the issue – why buy two separate products when you can get by with one? Another reason is the accelerated rhythm of everyday life. We strive to fulfill the maximum in the shortest possible time. Using, for example, balm shampoo is much more convenient and faster. In addition, such options are attractive for travel – they take up very little space (and there is always not enough space in your luggage!).
“I choose BB cream – it combines the qualities of a foundation and a moisturizer. And it also allows you to save – 500 rubles on one purchase ”.
Two products for the price of one

“I prefer using natural coconut oil for my hair and body. Greatly moisturizes and, what is important, only natural ingredients in the composition. Friends brought from Thailand, so one hundred percent savings. There are 600 rubles more left in my pocket! “
Julia Derisheva, Head of Yulia Newman Visual Consulting:
“Two in one” as such, I do not use. However, I can use a face corrector to make up my eyelids or tweak my eyebrows. From the category of “chips” it looks very cool and fresh when blush is repeated on the face: firstly, as a blush itself, secondly, a little on the area of the movable eyelid to the eyebrows, and thirdly, a little on the lips. I made purchases for a long time, before the crisis, so it’s difficult for me to talk about specific numbers. However, I think that the savings on one purchase would be about 600-800 rubles. “
Cool – on the left, fresh – on the right

Cosmetic brands are racing to create new superfoods in pursuit of demand! Yves Saint Laurent combined lip gloss and blush in one tube to create Baby Doll Kiss & Blush. Most women have already appreciated the micellar water for face, lip and eye make-up remover, suitable for all skin types. Also worth mentioning is the Estee Lauder Double Wear Highlighter Pencil, which allows you not only to create the perfect shape of the eyebrow, but also to further emphasize its curvature.
“I really love blush – they instantly give a fresh look. But my favorites from Bobbi Brown have jumped in price. I also decided to use them as shadows, and sometimes I mix them with hygienic lipstick and apply on my lips. Savings – 1000 rubles! “
Elena Kogan, PR specialist:
“I love the highlighter Mac! I use it to refresh my complexion and make the look brighter, I also apply it under the eyebrow, on the lips, and on the way out – on the open areas of the body. I save about 850-900 rubles. “
Svetlana Zhavoronkova, player on the stock exchange:
“I absolutely love Lucas Papaw Ointment Lip Balm. I use it for different purposes: I apply it to my hands, lips, wounds and even sunburn! I save about 1000 rubles on this. “

Alternative options + rules from the pros
Try to take a fresh look at your familiar beauty products. How many secrets they conceal in themselves! For example, dry blush can be used as an eyeshadow, and when mixed with a translucent gloss, it is a healthy alternative to lipstick. Denser tonal means will completely replace the concealer. The most common cuticle oil will perfectly moisturize the lips and skin of the hands, if you add a couple of drops to the cream.
Julia Obukhova, make-up artist Obukhova make-up school:
“The first anti-crisis rule: you do not need to buy a lot, but you need to buy a high-quality one. Second rule: don’t be a brand lover. Third, for those who drive the first two to the point of absurdity: buying low-quality cosmetics, you risk paying twice. If you buy a set of 10 lipsticks, then there may well be only one that suits you. Better buy one than pay extra for 10 unnecessary but cheap ones. For example, I like lipstick from Essense – it costs about 150-170 rubles, about the same cost and shadows, but everything is very high quality. If you want to buy more expensive – buy lipstick for 1000 rubles, but exactly the one that will suit you one hundred percent.
In order not to be mistaken, contact our specialist consultants for help. They will tell you which shades suit you, help you sort out the chaos of advice that you could read on the Internet. I am guided by the rule: less foundation and powder, more naturalness. It will also help you save money. Of high-quality, but inexpensive cosmetics, I can recommend Lumene – the average price tag is 450, only Ballet is cheaper than their tonal. Seventeen – the cheapest long-lasting lipstick, 250 rubles. Among the leading brands there are also inexpensive goods, the main thing is to be interested in prices, follow discounts and sales. “
