- Nice 'n Easy haircolor. Yep, it's about $7 at your local drugstore and they have pretty much every natural shade you can imagine. I've been coloring my hair with #118 for years, and I've never received so many compliments. Plus it comes with the creamiest, best conditioner ever (which you can also by separately if you want to stock up!!)
Mud Masks. You can give yourself a mini facial once per week. Look for masks with purifying ingredients, like kaolin clay. This stuff is great for deep cleaning the pores and really makes your skin look shiny and new even if you stayed up way past your bedtime.
- Face Oil. That's right, OIL. Don't be scared! My colleague recommended that I use oil on my face during the winter. I was kinda afraid - until I actually TRIED it. I put Grapeseed Oil mostly on my cheeks and a dab everywhere else. This stuff is fantastic layered under your daily moisturizer. It gives skin that fresh, glowy look that we all want when it's cold outside. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly.
- At home mani/pedis. Okay, so I always thought I was bad at giving myself manicures until I finally purchased "Bottom Coat" and "Top Coat" polishes. The Bottom Coat really helps the nail color glide on and the Top Coat seals in the color and adds shine. Voila -Salon perfect nails!
- Red Lipstick. Yes. The kind your grandmother wore in the '40s. I know some of you HATE the idea of bold lips, but if you don't have the money to update your entire makeup wardrobe, buy a new lipstick. It doesn't have to be a true red. You can go for another fun color like rose, bright pink, or coral. Lipstick can instantly lift your mood and brighten your face.
So there it is - a few tips to get you started. I hope this helps a little (or ALOT). If any of you have other great cheap and chic beauty tips, please post them for everyone to read.
