[quote=Anonymous]I am in super saver mode right now as we gear up to hopefully buy a SFH and move out of our condo in the next few years. Ever penny counts and we're looking to reduce costs however we can.

I'm already a fairly low maintenance person in terms of beauty but I'm trying to figure out what the bare minimum I can get by with is. I wear my hair long so I'm reducing cuts, coloring at home with a Demi-permanent dye my colorist recommended (I know it doesn't look as good, I just want it to look good *enough* until we can return to more normal spending), no professional nail care, and minimizing skin care down to just the essentials.

I'm struggling with makeup though because while I don't wear it often, when I do wear it, I use it for a confidence boost in social and professional situations and I want it to look really good. But it's like how can I justify spending $40 on a tube of mascara I use 3x a month? So I'm trying to figure that out as that stuff adds up fast.

Would love to hear and hacks for doing beauty on the cheap, or what some of you have discovered you can easily live without that you used to think was necessary.[/quote]
