Style tip of the week
Shop online
Shopping online is your best bet to save money on cosmetics and other beauty products. Comparison shop and use retailers such as drugstore.com and strawberrynet.com.
Go generic
Gasp! As horrible as it may sound, it's really not that bad. I don't mean that you have to give up your favorite lipstick or body scrub. But the generic version of many staple products will suffice, such as soap, body wash, body lotion and even eye cream.
Buy products that do double duty
Your body lotion can double as a sunscreen. Your tinted moisturizer can be your anti-aging cream. Products like baby lotion and astringent are great because they have multiple uses. Mineral makeup is another fine choice because a little goes a long way.
Get your beauty fix
If you haven't heard about BeautyFix, you should definitely check it out. By signing up with BeautyFix for $50 every quarter, you will receive 7-10 full size (or deluxe sample size) beauty products. You save a significant amount of money because the total value of the products is over $400. For example, this is what's inside the first Beauty Fix.

I am part of the beauty panel that selects the products (after testing them) that go into each BeautyFix kit. So I can tell from personal experience that these products are top notch. One of them retails at $105, so you are getting your money's worth with nine products. After signing up, you can be involved in the BeautyFix community and get some fabulous perks - like gift cards, special prices, and a chance at a free BeautyFix too.
