Anti-aging, wrinkle reducing, lash lengthening, skin refreshing, collagen producing...the buzz words of the beauty industry. For the average woman all of these catch phrases are thrown at us daily and they are enough to leave our heads spinning. Imagine yourself standing in the cosmetics isle in Wal-mart...all of the brands staring you in the face...Revlon, Cover Girl, Jane, Oil of Olay, Aveno. Every brand promising amazing results, but unitl you fork over the cash and get them home you just don't know if they will fulfill their promise or leave you with an addition to your "cosmetic graveyard" of unused, unfulfilling products. I can't promise to erase your confusion, but I will offer ways you can save money as you make yourself beautiful. Check out the tips below and enjoy!
1. Instead of trying your luck in the cosmetics isle, consider switching to products you can try first. Many department store counters offer free consultations and samples so you can try their products before you purchase them. Better yet, consider trying products from companies such as Mary Kay. Not only can you try all of the products before hand, but the consultants will come strait to you on your time and Mary Kay has a 100% money back guarantee even after you use the product! Visit http://www.marykay.com/ to find a consultant in your area.
Get it for free! If you are still looking for ways to save even more money, throw a Mary Kay party for you and your best girlfriends. Hostesses get great gifts and depending on the sales of the party you could earn an additional $100 of free products!
2. Purchase large sized products. Instead of buying a small bottle of shampoo, conditioner or body wash, buy the large economy size. Not only will these sizes last longer and use less plastic than buying smaller sizes more frequently, but they will cost less per ounce saving you money.
3. Have a jewelry swap! Put together a party for you and your friends and ask them to bring pieces of jewelry they no longer wear. You will have a blast getting new pieces and getting rid of your old ones...for free!
4. Make your own Jewelry. If you are like me and love handmade earrings, necklaces and bracelets, this is the option for you! Many times you can not find a pair of earrings for less than $10 in boutiques or markets. I have personally made many pairs of earrings and none have cost me over $5 a pair! Jewelry making is a very easy craft to get into and materials inexpensive. Most arts and crafts stores will be able to provide you with the needed materials and start up knowledge. Googling "How to make handmade jewelry" also will provide you with great free info on the subject. Here are some sites I like: http://www.how-to-make-beaded-jewelry.com/ & http://www.beadage.net/
