If you know me, you'll know that my family live in the US. I haven't been over to them in a few years as flights are bloody expensive and as a struggling graduate in London I haven't been able to afford it.
However, this year, I made the budget to go! And made the wise choice of going on Amazon US and ordering the following products.
Here's a breakdown of them and the differences in price.
Firstly, the Babyliss Big Hair which I have eyeing up for months. It goes by the brand ConAir in the US but is the exact same product. I'll have to get an adapter to use it in the UK but considering the savings, it's so worth it.
UK price, £46. US price, £22. What a no brainer!
Second on the list is the Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Mask. I haven't tried this yet but it's raved about a lot and It's inevitable that I'd buy it eventually. At £13 the US conversion comes in at £11, not the largest savings but hey, every little helps.
Next is a two pack of the Turbie Twist, £8 for TWO! Considering it's about £6 for ONE by a copy brand, I think this is a great buy.
I bought two of these Maybelline Eye palattes. At four US dollars each, I figure I may as well. That's just 2 quid.
Real Techniques are made by a British Makeup artist. No idea why it's less than half price in the US! I've got most of the brushes but topping up the collection with the Expert Face Brush. £8 in the UK, just over £4 in the good ole US of A.
Last but not least is the It's a Ten leave in conditioner. Sans Keratin. Keratin makes my hair feel weird. The 10 OZ comes in at a bargainlicious £12. Considering the 4 OZ is £22 on Amazon UK, it would be stupid not to buy. Actually thinking it may have been silly not to buy two but can always buy another when I'm out there.....
