Nails
Take
charge of that nail file ladies! Nail salons can be pricey and do serious
damage to our shiny, beautiful wallets. I love the wonderful indulgence of a
mani-pedi as much as the next woman, but save this treat for special occasions!
(Just think how much more you will enjoy it when you go back!) Give
nail decals a try to add a little extra sparkle to that DIY manicure or pedicure!
Throw on a clear topcoat over your new decal to ensure long-lasting wear!
Beauty
Get
caught up and crazy in the coupon clipping crowd! Stay savvy! Keep your beauty
in check by frequenting stores that offer coupon and saving perks. I’ve had
great luck with Ulta, an in-store and online beauty retailer. I highly
recommend signing up for the Ulta
beauty club, it is free (my fav word), and offers regular coupons for $3.50
off a $10.00 purchase. Keep presenting those coupons, and you will be able to
add back to your budget.
Fashion
Make
sure to check out one of my favorite fashion online retailers, ModCloth! My
last purchase was straight from the clearance rack, two gorgeous dresses
coupled with a coupon for free shipping! You can depend on this retailer
to have a unique blend of indie, retro and vintage fashion we are searching
for! The retailer has sizes from petite to plus size - making it perfect for
any size and style. P.S. check out their massive rack of vintage shoes to add
extra sparkle to your eye!
Makeup
Make
your makeup work for its keep! My guilty pleasure is in buying high-end
cosmetics, but in order to not break my budget, I can only allow for a single
application that lasts me throughout the day. To get the most wear out of your
makeup purchase
a primer and apply prior to makeup application. When you’re done with
your makeup application end with a quick brush
of finishing powder to keep your hard work entact. These two products are low-cost,
and take minimal time to apply, so make sure to take advantage!
Ladies, continue to stay mindful of your budget
and watch those pennies rack up into savings. Stay trendy my friends!
