Beauty Masks on a Budget
If your not opposed to online shopping then take yourself to amazon.com and start a little search for beauty masks. The top, budget busting luxury at the beginning of December was an eight pack of Chantelle Budget Beauty Face Masques, on sale for just over £4. Bargain! Better yet – if it’s not from a third party seller, then you’re entitled to free, super saver delivery. Joy.
A Tip For Saving Money in the Meantime: If you’re running low on toner and don’t want to buy a big old, expensive bottle then simply mix a tablespoon of vinegar with eight ounces of water. It sounds rank but it actually works on your skin and shuts your gaping pores, after you wash them out!
D.I.Y Manicures
Having your talons filed down on a regular basis at a salon can amount to a whole lot of moola, so instead of giving your buddies redeemable vouchers for said salons, give them a loving hand written note, promising a manicure from your fine self, for Christmas. Throw in a bottle of wine and some quality catch up time and you have yourself a perfect gift and one that won’t cost you more than a few bucks – for booze, nail files and a blob of polish!
A Tip For Saving Money in the Meantime: If you’re a lady who loves her lipstick and her lip gloss, then make it go further by always applying it with a lip brush! I don’t care what container it comes in or what brand you’re using. If you want it last longer, eliminate the need for blotting by adopting this simple technique.
Buy Your Mate the Long Lasting Essentials
Let’s face the facts. A fair chunk of your cash goes on the product that you feel bound to use every day. Think about how nice it would be to save all that money – upon receiving a gift basket, full to the brim with your favourite, budget haemorrhaging products – and then do this for a friend! This will require a certain amount of spying and note taking during said friend’s daily beauty routine, but it will be well worth it for the smile you put on their face. It’s just a thought but perhaps include their favourite foundation, all over moisturiser, cotton buds and a little bottle of their favourite scent!
A Tip For Saving Money in the Meantime: Make your own hairspray, and no I’m not talking about making your own musical by singing into your hairbrush in a dorm room. Simply mix two tablespoons of sugar into a 12 ounce spray bottle of water. It actually works, there’s no nasty smell and there’s no alcohol involved - so it won’t make your hair dry. The more sugar you put in it, the firmer the hold. Just be careful about applying too much in the summer when the bees come out to play!
