Duty Free Travel Beauty!
Part of going on holiday for me is the duty free shopping! I use duty free shopping as a good way to fill time while I’m waiting for a flight or whilst on the ferry. Oh, and there are some fabulous bargains to be had, if you shop carefully!
Buying beauty items duty free
Luxury beauty items can be bought at a great price via duty free. But, it’s important to know the price of the items you’re so you can tell if the deal is as good as it looks.
Before my holiday I write a list of items I am keen to buy at duty free. I check the best price I can buy them for online and write the price on my list. When I get to duty free I can instantly see whether my favourite perfume is a great price or whether I’d be better to buy it at home and get loyalty points!
It’s also worth looking out for special travel packs of luxury beauty brands. I bought a fabulous Lancome pack a few years ago which was terrific value. Destination2 has lots of tips on how to get the best out of your duty free beauty shopping.
