Spend v. Splurge - ASDA’S HOT NEW CREDIT CRUNCH-FRIENDLY MAKE-UP FOR SPRING/ SUMMER 2012 !

Everyone loves a bit of retail therapy and now that spring has (reputedly) sprung, the new spring/summer collections of clothes and make up in bright, cheerful colours are tempting us in all the high street shop windows. It's easy to spend a small fortune though so I thought that this research from ASDA, comparing their low budget, new season make up with the big brand prices, was really interesting. At these prices, we all certainly deserve a whole new make up bag. Now I'm just waiting to see their summery clothes at bargain prices !

  1. WOW I can't believe the price differences! I rarely splurge on make up products and prefer the cheaper alternatives, mainly because it means I can buy more! :)

  2. I begrudge spending money on cosmetics, I dont wear much so thats mainly why. This highlights the crazy prices they hike on products that have just as good alternatives elsewhere. Much better for those experementing with make up too.

  3. I always love finding almost identical bargains, I can't stand spending a fortune on big brands just for the name. Sometimes, they are genuinely better products but the cheaper versions are often surprisingly good.
