Bigger is better!  Buying in bulk saves you money (I call it "The Costco Effect"), but professional beauty and hair care products usually come in teeny, tiny packages.  Now more and more hot brands and products offering pro sizes to the general public, you can save on all your favorite beauty go-tos. 

Check out a few of my favorites.
With all the products I buy, you better believe I have a cache of creative ways to save on the products I love.  With more and more brands offering professional or "Back Bar" sizes to the general public, you can save hundreds of dollars a year.  Buying in bulk also means less packaging, so it's a greener way to primp. 

Check out the Pro Size offerings at Blissworld.com. You can get skin care, hair care, body wash and more.  I personally can't get enough of their Vanilla Bergamot Body Butter,  Over time that bulk purchase saves you $39.25!  Use this blissworld.com code to have your order ship free.  

I love buying shampoo, conditioner and styling products in pro-sizes.   Buying Fekkai hairspray in the professional size saves you over $30 in the long run.  Or try any of these Ojon goodies in professional sized packages.  Use one of our Beauty.com coupons to save even more.

Curly girls, I know you go through products quickly.  Try Hair Rules in a Super-Sized package  and save $8 over time.  Try something from Ouidad. Go down on the drop down menu to select the bigger size.  Use a Ouidad coupon to save money.

Can't find your product of choice in a professional size on their site?  Amazon.com is a treasure trove of super-sized hair and body products.  The standard "Back Bar" size for shampoos and conditioners is 33.8 ounces.  Search "33.8 oz" to see all your options.   Always be sure to check the price per ounce to make sure you're getting the best deal.  If you have a good relationship with your hair dresser, you can ask him or her to special order back bar sizes of your favorite products.

Now you're stocked like a pro and you saved some dough.  Got a great way you save on beauty essentials?  Leave 'em in the comments below.
