Does your tight budget make even drugstore beauty products a luxury? No worries. You can still have beautiful skin and hair without buying a ton of (or even any!) products.

Give Yourself Some Head
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under bargain, gifts, hair
Some Head Organics hair products, that is (gotcha, didn’t I?). A Best of Beauty award winner in 2008 and 2009, the California-based Head Organics opened their doors in 1969 — yeah, I didn’t know that either — and true to their founding spirit, they have since set the standard for sustainable, organic hair products that both work beautifully and smell fantastic.

Keep Your *Beautiful* Tan Year-Round with a Drugstore Bargain
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, bargain, body, skin care, wedding
I know I’ve been on a big L’Oreal kick lately, and guess what? It ain’t over. L’Oreal recently introduced their Sublime Bronze line, and I’m in love. My pale-skinned self can’t get enough of one self-tanner in particular, Luminous Bronzer. It’s touted as a lotion, but I’d call it more of a lotion-gel…or gel-lotion…whatever. It’s pretty awesome.

Less Wrinkles with 24-Hour Eye Repair
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, bargain, eyelid, skin care, sun care
Featuring another new product with a long name from L’Oreal: Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair 24-Hour Eye Repair Duo. With such a serious(ly long) name, you’d expect serious(ly good) results along with a serious(ly expensive) price. Well, that’s about half true. The results? Good. I’ve been using Revalift’s new eye cream duo for about three to four weeks, and I can definitely see a visible lift to my upper eye lid. Plus the skin around my eyes is softer and more pliable.

Eyeing L’Oreal for Volume and Wear
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under bargain, cosmetics, mascara, wedding
L’Oreal Paris recently released *another* new mascara, this one called Extra Volume Collagen Mascara. It touts lush and luxurious lashes with hydra-collagen (?) for super-duper volume. A pretty, sleek black tube reveals the biggest, fattest mascara brush you’ve seen. Seriously. Thick.
Admittedly, I was skeptical. I had to see just what sort of super-duper volume we were talking about. Well, I was certainly not underwhelmed, but at the same time, I’m not sure it lives up to “12x more impact, instantly.”

Embrace Your Softer Side
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under bargain, hair
Herbal Essences hair products aren’t normally on my radar. I generally prefer salon brands that aren’t so heavily perfumed. But recently I had the chance to try out their new Tousle Me Softly line, and ya know what? I like it. A lot.

$5 DIY Cleanser for Skin As Soft ‘n Smooth As a Baby’s Butt
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under DIY (make your own!), anti-aging, education, handmade, perfect pores, recipe, skin care
Yesterday I ran out of my mediocre foaming facial cleanser — I use it because it was expensive plus it removes my makeup pretty well, frankly, it’s pretty much so-so. Today, instead of heading off to the department store in search of another high dollar, mediocre facial cleanser, I decided to make my own. Here’s my recipe that costs about $6 for around 4 oz.
