Tips from Maddy on saving money on fashion and beauty

Always check for a code first

"Before buying anything, I'll usually check for discount codes, sign up for newsletters to unlock first order offers where I can, and keep an eye on seasonal sales. It's amazing how often you can save 10-20% just by spending a few extra minutes looking around."

Know when brands are likely to run promotions

"I've worked closely with a number of major fashion and beauty brands to promote exclusive offers and discounts, which has given me a good understanding of when brands are most likely to run promotions and the types of deals shoppers should look out for."

Shop second-hand

"One of my favourite money-saving tips is shopping second-hand. I'm an avid Vinted user and have both bought and sold on it for years. Not only can you find current pieces for a fraction of the retail price, I've also managed to track down discontinued items I'd regretted getting rid of years ago. If you're looking for a particular fashion item that's no longer available in stores, there's a good chance someone is selling it on a resale platform. I've picked up some of my best bargains that way."
