how I get free makeup from drugstores!

Okay maybe not completely free but it can be based on how you play it. In this case I used my FSA card to pay nothing out of pocket for Euler in, earned $10 to use on anything at cvs and then got elf blush and some Nyx.

Todays advice or girl talk is: know what your signed up for or what’s available you. So many of my coworkers (early-late 20s like me) didn’t know about FSA last year so we paid out of pocket for so many things we didn’t have to. Sanitary items, pimple patches, sunscreen and the list goes on. Learn about what your job, your school and life have to offer and take advantage of these opportunities!

... Read moreOkay, so in my original post, I spilled the tea on how I leverage my FSA for essentials and then score 'free' makeup. But I've noticed many of you are searching for direct fsa store coupon codes and makeup & cosmetics rebates – and trust me, I get it! Finding those direct discounts can feel like a treasure hunt, but I've got some tips to share from my own journey. First, let's talk FSA. While my initial trick is more about strategic spending, you absolutely can find direct discounts for FSA-eligible items. Many dedicated FSA stores online, like FSAstore.com or HSAstore.com, frequently offer fsa store discounts, fsa coupons, and fsa store promo code options. My advice? Always sign up for their email newsletters! That’s usually where I catch wind of special fsa store discount codes or limited-time fsa store rebates. Before I buy anything, I always do a quick Google search with the store name plus 'coupon code' – you'd be surprised what pops up. Remember, you're essentially using your employee account for healthcare expenses, so why not maximize every dollar? Now, for those makeup and cosmetics rebates. This is where a little savvy goes a long way. While you won't typically find FSA directly covering your favorite lipstick, those savings on healthcare essentials free up cash for beauty. To snag makeup & cosmetics rebates, I swear by a few methods. First, join every loyalty program for drugstores like CVS, Walgreens, and Ulta. They send out tons of personalized coupons and often run 'spend X, get Y back in rewards' promotions. This is how I often get my hands on products like Elf blush or Nyx. Secondly, download receipt-scanning apps like Ibotta or Fetch Rewards. I frequently find cash-back offers on popular makeup brands there. It's not a direct rebate at the time of purchase, but it's money back in your pocket that can go towards your next beauty haul. And let's circle back to my initial point: if you're thinking 'you're using your FSA card wrong!', then trust me, let me get you hip to freebies pt1 is just the beginning. The biggest 'hack' is being informed. Regularly check your employer's benefits portal. See what new FSA-eligible items have been added or if there are any new programs. Sometimes, they'll even partner with specific retailers for exclusive fsa store discounts. By combining these direct coupon-finding strategies with smart FSA utilization, you're not just saving; you're essentially creating your own beauty budget out of wisely managed healthcare funds. It's all about making your money work harder for you!
