What items do you splurge on? What do you save on?

[hawaii02]

I splurge on MAC eyeshadows and lipsticks, and Studio Fix. Vavoom (I hate the stickiness with hair sprays)

Save on BB&W (I don't go anymore unless there is the semi-annual sale or a mail coupon), eyeliner, nail polish, shampoo and conditioner, makeup wipes, moisturizer

I don't really "slurge" on anything, but items I'm all for saving on are mascaras & lip liners. I can very rarely tell the difference between high end & drugstore brands on those.

Ok, my splurges:

eating out (EVERYDAY for lunch MON-FRI and 3x's on the weekend)
My nails and toes EVERY 2 weeks Like clockwork
My clothes
My kids clothes (My daughters are 14 and 13 so you know we gotta be tight!! LOL)
My shoes I literally have about 2 closets of shoes...some only worn to try on swore I'd find something to wear but you know how that goes.

some facial care items b/c of my issues I spend a lot on Derm visits and prescriptions for my face and hair items,
Now I'll have to add foundation to my splurge list since I've tried MAC and love it!!
Perfumes Only name brands!

non splurges:

mascara, eyeshadow is a mixture I own some NARS and MUFE and drugstore shadows, milani, nyx, sally girl, ulta, and even some wales palettes but no MAC yet b/c i'm still learning why spend the money now, lip glosses anything as long as it looks and feels good, that's all that comes to mind right now...

I splurge on makeup and skincare. I tend to be cheap on haircare and nails.

Splurge:

*-Makeup...with the exception of a few drugstore faves, most of my makeup I splurge on.
*-Hair products...with the exception of hair dye, which I do myself and loooove L'Oreal's Feria
*-Skincare products
*-Perfume
*-Philosophy body products

Save:

*-Clothes...I clearance shop for clothes most of the time and usually only splurge on something if I know its going to get a lot of use
*-Shoes...with the exception of Nikes, Rocket Dogs, and Sketchers lol
*-Purses...I get tired of a purse after about a month, so there is really no point in me purchasing a bag costing more than $30 or $40 dollars
*-Nail polish
*-Jewelry...I tend to lose jewelry like crazy, so I'll buy the $2 earrings over the $200 ones anyday of the week

I buy drugstore brand body wash, deodorant, nail polish, lotions, mascara, lipstick & gloss, facial cleanser & moisturizer, and even makeup brushes. I save on manicures/pedicures by doing them myself. I also save by doing my own hair and facials.

I will splurge on primer, foundation, blush, eyeshadows, eyeliner, shampoo and conditioners. I try to save money by buying shampoo & conditioners from Trade Secret when they have it on sale and I pick up makeup/brushes from the CCO's to get a discount when I can.

I think I have a good mix of high-end and low-end products.

I'm a HUGE drugstore fan buying things there like mascaras, makeup, false lashes, hair styling products and such. I will splurge on MAC, NARS, MUF, Urban Decay etc makeup cause the colors are really vibrant and doesn't take alot to really show on the skin. Mascaras have to be replaced every few months which I find buying high end would be such a waste of money. I use drugstore brand moisturizers such as Neutrogena for day time and high end moisturizer such as Cle de Peau for night time bc your skin does the most healing at night. Eye creams though I most always buy high ends just bc I feel that's the area that really needs to be taken care of. Facial wash and exfoliant can be bought drugstore brand bc you really don't need high end brands to wash off dirt from your face.. =)
