The cost of living crisis is forcing Aussies to cut down on luxuries like beauty products but shoppers have found a hack to get a range of makeup and skincare items for just $5 – and it’s all for a good cause.
Chemist Warehouse is offering customers $2, $5 and $10 lucky dip bags which contain an array mystery items as part of the Liptember campaign raising funds for women’s mental health.
One beauty lover bought two of the $5 boxes from a Geelong store and received dozens of goodies she said could be worth more than $450.
‘RUUUNNNN, DON’T WALK to your local Chemist Warehouse,’ she alerted beauty lovers in a Facebook post.
‘Got two bags from Chemist Warehouse on Little Malop Street, Geelong. Yes, all of these for $10. Worth about $450+…Just go to your local Chemist Warehouse and ask for $5 lucky dip bags!’
