As some of you know me as Stars, others know me as Sandra, the queen of bargain hunting. I picked up this trait from my mom who would hold up a line at the grocery or department store telling the cashier the sign above the item said 40% off. The only difference is nowadays you won’t really find me getting my “exercise” at the mall. I’d much rather do things myself, which is why I’m here to tell you about my beauty budget ideas.
There are many things I have a hard time paying for, beauty products and services being one of them. I’m no expert; however, my frugal beauty tips and corresponding coupons will dramatically cut the cost of this expense that some beauty queens won’t give up.
Beauty Budget Tips
Get Your Hair Did!
Getting my hair colored is one of my guiltiest pleasures. However, it’s oh so expensive especially when you know it washes out in 6 weeks which is why it’s number one of my beauty budget ideas. I used to spend $150 every three months to color my shoulder length hair when I finally decided that it was time to take matters into my own hands. I started buying hair dye at the beauty supply store and had someone I trusted do it for me.
There are color-at-home hair products like L’Oreal Natural Match and Color Expert. And there are many products for men too like Just for Men Shampoo in Hair Color and Sun In Hair Lightener. These products average for $10, and when you use our Drugstore.com coupons you can change your look as many times as you want.
Wax on, Wax Off!
Whether you want to admit it or not, no one is blessed with perfectly shaped eyebrows or hairless arms and legs. That’s why most of you go to an esthetician for help. Number two on my frugal beauty tips list – wax, tweeze, pluck and shave yourself! It’s your body and your hair. Make a girls night of it if you don’t trust your shaky hands and pick up Satin Smooth waxing kits and tools like a good pair of tweezers from Tweezerman and electric razors. Invest in these lifelong helpers using Folica coupons.
Spa at Home
Blah blah, besides what you say that you can’t imagine having a spa-like experience at home, I’d like to challenge you. Fill your cabinets with rich and luxurious skincare products, bath soaps and bubbles when you’re trapped inside on a gloomy cold day. Shop at Origins for bath and beauty products like Ginger Souffle, Spreadable Scrub and Body Spritz products all designed to help you feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Don’t forget to use our Origins coupons to save on your generously sized bottles.
So there you go my fellow frugal friends, a few beauty budget ideas and tricks you can do on the cheap. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and when you could do it for less everyone will see that you look like a million bucks!
