Stay Sane During Cyber Weekend With These 5 Helpful Tips

This post contains affiliate links, which means if you buy something through those links I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I will only recommend products that I love, and feel are valuable to you. Thank you for your support!

I don’t know about you but Cyber Weekend (which turns into a Cyber Week at this point since more and more stores start earlier) gives me a lot of stress. I’ll get tons of emails with great Black Friday deals, as well as Cyber Monday deals. Even though I absolutely love this time of the year (because who doesn’t love a good discount?) it has an impact on my mental health. In order to stay sane, I found some tips which help me to navigate through the Cyber Weekend, and in today’s post, I’m sharing these 5 tips with you.

5 Tips To Navigate Through Cyber Weekend Deals To Prevent Stress

How To Deal With Cyber Weekend Like A Pro

1. Make a list. In my opinion, this one is the most important tip of them all. If you go into the Black Friday sales with your eyes open and a list clearly written of the kinds of things you’re looking for, it’s a lot harder to get overwhelmed and distracted by stuff you don’t actually want. If you have specific shops you love to shop from, make a wish-list and wait until their discount goes live so you only buy what you’ve previously fallen in love with.

2. Only buy what you need.  It’s happened to the best of us, but do you really need that glittery eyeshadow palette you’ll probably only wear during Christmas dinner because it’s 60% off? Do you really need another lipstick because it’s half price and would look great on Instagram?

I still struggle with this, I feel like I need everything when there’s a discount but if I take the time and ask myself why I need to add it to my basket, I sometimes don’t even have a reason except for ‘it’s 50% off’. So it’s important to ask yourself if you really need it and if you have a really good answer go ahead and click ‘proceed to checkout’. Otherwise, you might want need to pass.

3. Is it a real bargain? Be aware that so many stores just jump on the bandwagon and act like they have a huge discount, meanwhile it might just be old stock or they upped their prices before Black Friday to make it seem like a deal but you’re actually just paying the normal price. If it’s genuinely a saving that you wouldn’t get otherwise (for example, Natasha Denona did a buy one get one free on her $120 palettes last year, which never happens), or it’s a discount off an item you were buying anyway, go for it! If not, perhaps leave it.

4. Do not use a credit card. Unless it really is an ultimate bargain you really can’t do without, spend only what you have available in cash or on your bank account already. Credit cards are tricky because you can easily spend way more money than you actually have and you don’t have to worry about it right now. But it’ll get you into trouble if you spend money you actually don’t have. Remember that your long term financial situation is more important.

5. Don’t be afraid to return. Once the initial rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday are gone, you may notice that you’ve bought this that you thought you needed but you realize you actually don’t. If you are questioning what you bought and why: send it back. Return policies are there for a reason.

If you’re still feeling anxious and overwhelmed, you might want to do a Social Media Detox in order to skip all those sale advertisements. Unfollow brands you don’t want to buy from, even if it’s just for the Cyber Weekend, and/or unsubscribe from their newsletter.

How are you dealing with this overwhelming amount of Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales? Let me know in the comments and we might learn new ways to stay sane from each other!

    Every year I feel this overwhelming urge to shop black Friday/cyber week deals, even if there is nothing that I actually need. It’s even tricker because I don’t want to buy something for myself that someone may have already purchased for me as a gift. These are great tips to keep in mind, specifically making a list and not using a credit card.

I recently bought this @ctilburymakeup lipstick in I recently bought this @ctilburymakeup lipstick in the shade Kim KW, which is @kimkardashian’s perfect nude shade 💄

This lipstick is super fair, even for my pale skin tone but I still wanted this lipstick because I think it’ll look amazing with a darker lip liner 😍 

#beautytip if you ever have a lipstick which is too light or not fully your color, you can manipulate the shade with a lip liner! 

I love this trick and I play around with lipsticks and lip liners all the time 🥰

Do you wear lip liner? Let me know in the comments 👇🏻

What should I gift my loved ones? 🎁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is probably the most asked question this time around. It's not always easy to find the perfect gift, especially a gift that'll fit your budget as well. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I posted a Beauty Gift Sets gift guide for every budget, so everyone gets the inspiration they need for the holidays. One of my favorite sets I've included in my blog post is this @balibody Christmas Set. Containing their 3 bestsellers, Ultra Dark Self Tan, Face Tan Water & BB Cream. It comes in the cutest box and it's wrapped as well so you're ready to go! 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Isn't this such a lovely gift?! #gifted

GIFTED I hate a messy space, especially my makeup GIFTED  I hate a messy space, especially my makeup drawers and so I have been investing in organizers for years now. The last year I have been updating my drawers again and came across @tidyups, a company that sells acrylic organizers AND they fit perfectly in the typical beauty influencer Ikea Alex drawers! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did purchase the first batch of organizers myself but I reached out to @tidyups and they kindly gifted me their newest organizers! A Display Tray, which is perfect for your foundations, concealers, setting sprays but also works well with liquid lipsticks or lipglosses. The tray is slightly lifted, so products stored in it don't lay completely flat (which I like for my foundations) and they still fit into the flat Alex drawer, as well as the deep drawer. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The other organizer I got is the Double Tray, which has two compartments. I store my concealers and primers in there as well as minis and my sponges. I really love these trays because I now can easily see what's in the drawer. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also have their Palette Organizer, Compacts Organizer, Lipgloss Organizer, Eyeshadow Organizer, and Lipstick Organizer. As you can tell, I absolutely love them! I'll show you how all my drawers look inside in my stories soon so keep an eye out if you're interested! 🥰
