Make-up: Frugal Finds for Pricey Pursuits

There are many new products that are simply amazing and also mirror products that have a more expensive price tag!!! My goal is simple, to look amazing and spend very little to achieve this feat!

Below are just a couple of items I use daily. I will show the more pricey version and list the benefits of both!

Yves Saint Laurent -Rouge Pur Couture (glossy stain) $34.00
This product gives a very supple appearance to the lip and doesn’t look too made up!!! It’s a stain so it will have the lasting power need to face the day and not look back!!

L'Oreal Color Riche Caresse $9.99
This product is marketed just like its YSL rival and only costs a fraction if the price!
There is a wide variety of color to choose from!!! And with stains growing in popularity because of their effortlessness, you grab two and still spend less than you would for one YSL glossy stain!!!

Trend Setter: Beyonce, Blonde and Beautiful

Beyonce has been on a journey to the wonderful world of blonde for years and finally she has arrived and she looks amazing! Her subtle highlights against her golden/neutral skin tone gives a natural appearance and gives her audience a chance to adjust to her change!!! Starting in about 2003 Beyonce began going lighter and lighter with her hair color. Sandy blonde looks so pretty on her and compliments her skin tone very well!!! With the way stars explore looks; no one should be afraid to explore!!!

Hair: My Wigtastic Journey!!!

Every women wants to look good!!! A women’s hair is at the top of the list!!! Some women pay thousands of dollars to get their hair perfect!!! The hair alone can cost anywhere from a hundred to a thousand dollars. Right now hair trends call for down to there extensions; which are pricey because of their length.

Personally, I love it when I can give my natural hair a little air!!! And all that hair glue is more than a headache. My hair has been natural, no relaxers, for almost three years. Frequently, I where extensions because I love to try different looks. After my first wig, I was hooked!! There are so many options I often buy two at a time.

When spending money on something as vain as your appearance you want to be smart about your choices! Exploring various extension methods can pay off big time and leave you with extra money for other more important matters, like a retirement plan! Unless you get paid for the way you look, their isn’t a return investment for the money you spend.

I agree with most, I too want to look great! I am just allergic to spending insane amounts of money to look a certain way! If your $150 hair extensions look just like my $25 hair wig extensions something is seriously wrong!!!

Their are benefits to having certain kinds of extensions because of the method used to process them. Freedom, versatility and functionality are very important characteristics for the type of looks I normally gravitate toward. I just don’t want to give anyone money for something I can do myself.
