Being a part of the YT beauty community and blogging community, I have come to realize that many people seem to think that keeping yourself beautiful means having to have the best that money can buy.

I am here to tell you that is NOT true.

You can definitely get some decent things that are high quality by spending a pretty penny. But you can also get decent things without breaking the bank. And lately, with this economy- I as well as many of you are all about not breaking the bank.

Here are some great budget beauty tips I have gathered from some magazines as well as my own faves from the bargain bin:

• two for one sales at your local drug stores.
  What better way to stack up on your faves?
• While we’re on that- stock up by getting BULK items. Sally’s sells alot of the bigger bottles of shampoos, conditioners, lotions. For a very low price compared to getting a bunch of bottles at a regular store.
• Amazon & Ebay sellers sell a lot of great beauty related items as well as higher end brands. Just always be sure to check the seller’s history to make sure they are trustworthy.
• Also on that topic, try out Etsy! There are a ton of new cosmetics and beauty related products being made by everyday people like you and me! What a better way to try out some vegan, home made, good beauty products? Things like cosmetics, bath and body as well as oils and candles to make your house smell good!
