Luxury beauty normally comes at a high and mighty price. But more and more companies are working to make prestige products more and more accessible. New website Akira Beauty is leading the pack on that front.
The exciting and downright magical new site is slashing prices of otherwise pricey beauty products. Even better, there's no catch, no subscription, no hidden fees, no membership — just luxury products from a site dedicated to accessibility.
So if you've been dying to try out the products you've been seeing all over YouTube and social media, now is your chance. These are a serious steal.
It's true when they say that one can never have too many beauty products.
There's always something new and exciting coming out. From skin care that promises to transform your dark spots to makeup that guarantees to give you a porcelain effect, there's no limit to where beauty products can take us.
But a beauty obsession can also cost quite a pretty penny.
Especially if you're into luxury brands. And while we live for a bargain, who doesn't want to try that $100+ cream that our favorite YouTubers and celebs swoon over?
Have no fear; there's a new website changing that.
Get familiar with Akira Beauty, a no-catch website that sells the most lavish beauty products at discounts as high as 40%. And before you ask, no, this isn't resale or anything of the sort. In fact, Akira is able to sustain this business model by significantly cutting budget in important areas. Rather than keeping the profits from high product prices, Akira has lowered its product stock prices. What that entails is getting rid of the extra costs in advertising, samples, and gift wrapping.
That pricey face mask you've been dying to try is now at your fingertips.
The long list of brands Akira has to offer include La Mer, Caudalie, Oribe, Givenchy, YSL, Peter Thomas Roth, Jurlique, Shiseido, and Sisley Paris to name just a few.
Akira believes in making prestige beauty available to everyone without compromising quality.
"Akira Beauty believes that luxury brands should be accessible to anyone and it is their hope that by lowering prices, more people can enjoy top-performing beauty products without compromising quality," Akira said in a press release. Ahead, check out just a small taste of what Akira has to offer.
