    What's your favorite cheapie? (make up, body, hair stuff)Why?I'm pretty much a product wh0re. I love cocoa butter (Palmer's) lotion & lip balm. I have dry skin year round & it works awesome. I don't want to end up like those wrinkly skinned old ladies. I'm also totally addicted to lip balm, and the cocoa butter lip balm is silky & gives a little shine. What's your favorite splurge? (Same type of stuff)Why?Fresh Brown Sugar Body Scrub....way too expensive, but it makes your skin feel great & smells super yummy.

    Cheapie - Hairspray (Tresseme actually does the trick as well as the expensive ones!) and chapstick (the Burt's Bees with pomegranate oil - I'm addicted to it as well, so if I bought expensive stuff I'd go broke).Splurge - Makeup (I used MAC or Clinique - I don't want to buy anything that'll make me breakout), shampoo/conditioner and hair products (I stick with the Tigi and Catwalk stuff - I have uber curly hair, and if I try to use the cheap stuff, I end up looking like Buckwheat.  Not joking - I could show you pics to prove it).

    Cheapie: Herbal Essences hair gel. I used to spend $18 on Pureology gel. It does the same effing thing! Splurge: Sephora make up. Particularly the mascara. It's $15, but worth it to me. And shampoo and conditioner. I use Halo hydration. I tried to use some of the kinds at CVS, but wasn't happy with how it was making my hair...so back to the expensive stuff.

    What's your favorite cheapie? blush...as long as it puts some color on my cheeks, I'm happy. It doesn't need to cost me $45What's your favorite splurge? S Factor shampoo and conditioner. It's crazy expensive but I LOVE the way my hair smells when my stylist uses it at the salon, so last time I was there I bought a bottle of each. I use it like every 2nd day so it lasts. Smells so good!

    I forget who makes it, which is bad because it's the only soap I buy..But it's cranberry and is super cheap and smells AWESOME and leaves my skin soft.I haven't bought it since FI was layed off, but my splurge is Bed Head's hair products. They work really well with my hair if I want it curly or straight.

    I'll raid the junk room tonight and see what I come up. :)  (The junk room is where most of the contents of my old apartment reside...and I am entirely too lazy right now to actually sort/organize it.)

    sunkissed - I love that S Factor shampoo too!! I'd have to say thats some of the best smelling shampoo I've ever smelled!! Your so lucky to have such a splurge lol
  • edited December 2011
    Cheapie - Shampoo and conditioner.  I'm not picky, I buy whatever is on sale at the grocery store.  Bonus when I can find coupons and get it on sale at the same time!Splurge - Bare Escentuals mineral powder foundation.  I have never found another product that works so well with my skin, so it's worth every penny.  Also Paul Mitchell Skinny hair product.  I have naturally curly/wavy hair that doesn't like to be straightened, but this stuff does the trick every time.

    My fav cheapie is hair stuff - shampoo and conditioner... I've tried different types my whole life and they all do the same thing, so i don't splurge. My fav splurge is perfume - I tend to have expensive taste. One of my favs is D&G Light Blue.

    You could fill up the lines over my eyebrows with water and go swimming in them Lis. Now I can't even really frown. HA ha!
