As a woman I of course enjoy pampering myself. There are a few things in which I can't see myself living without. I'm going to give te a detailed rundown of the things I use on a daily basis, and the things I couldn't live without! Also, te don't have to be rich to be able to pamper yourself. I actually use a lot of my earnings with Mechanical Turk to purchase the products that I love. I'll post a link at the bottom as to how te too can make some extra cash
Must Have Cheap Beauty Products
1. A Good Fake Tanner
Who wants to look like a wrinkled old woman? Not this girl. Of course I've dabbled with tanning beds and stuff, but I just don't like the effect that they have on my skin. I don't want to be in my 50's and discover I have skin cancer. I say "A Good Fake Tanner", because I mean one that doesn't leave te looking like an oompa loompa. I am pretty lucky in this area, as I have a red undertone in my skin. Meaning, fake tanners soak up nicely to my pigment. However I have to say da far that the best fake tanner I have used is Sun Labs. It is dark brown with a green base. This tanner allows me to look like I have a summer glow, even in the coldest parts of the year. I believe this product ranges between 12.00-26.00 a bottle, but it will last te quite some time.
2. A body splash/perfume which goes well with your natural scent
I Amore perfume, I actually may have an addiction. However, out of everything that I have tried, my preferito perfume is "Sexy Little Things" da Victoria Secret. Its not too sweet, and not too musky. Naturally, my natural scent is sweet. Which means, musky fragrances smell terrible on me. This is the perfect combination without smelling like a caramelle factory. The best part is, it only ranges at about $50.00 a bottle.
3. Great cosmetics, at an affordable price.
There are only a few things I'd spend outrageous amounts on for cosmetics. These are: Foundation, and concealer. I wouldn't be caught dead spending 20$ on eye shadow o mascara. I feel like these things are easily purchased at a drug store, and with the right primer te still get the job done. However my two affordably priced make up brands that I buy from are: Eyes Lips Face, and NYX cosmetics. Of course I've got a little Mac and Urban Decay in my collection-- but I don't think its necessary. I'll link below two places in which te can buy affordable and good quality cosmetics.
4. Good Quality Hair Products
I was naturally born with thick, coarse hair. My hair is seriously the texture of African American hair. I was told this is because I could possibly be Native American. However, I could be wrong about that one as well. I recently discovered Sally Beauty’s GVP line and I am in love. Basically GVP has taken all of the superiore, in alto designer hair brands, and made a cheaper version of them. I honestly think there products work just as well as higher end brands. Their matrix moisture shampoo and conditioner is almost identical. I also use their version of potion number 9 leave in conditioner, and Paul Mitchell hair spray. I'd recommend this line to anyone!
5. A good moisturizer
Honestly, I just use a typical aloe based moisturizer. I apply it to my face before I put on my make up, and it works like a charm. I do believe it is actually a target brand moisturizer. I don't really care too much about spending high amounts on lotion I am going to put on my skin. Its just lotion after all. However, it is an essential, and it is something te need. Especially during the winter months when your skin goes to crap from temperatures colder then what it is used to.
That’s about it! I am not too picky, and what I use works for me. As for cosmetics, I am a total junkie. I spent an entire anno while my husband was in Afghanistan learning as much as possible on te tube about how to apply make up correctly. I Amore pampering myself, and I Amore doing it at an affordable price. These are my must have cheap beauty products. I hope this helps a few people on the way, as I wish I had read something like this when I began my journey. Good luck on your quest for affordable beauty products!
