SAVE MONEY, PREVENT WRINKLES

Aquaphor - buy at local drugstore - approx $8.50

At night you don't need to worry about eye treatments
smearing your makeup, so slather on the richest formula you can. Polis swears by Aquaphor: "It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well."

CHEAP AND UNEXPECTED PRIMER

Monistat chafing gel - local drugstore $6 (approx)

In the aisle with the tampons, theres a product called Monistat chafing gel.. its the exact same thing as an expensive primer, it cost 6 bucks a tube. Sounds a little weird, but check it out!

Big important F.Y.I.: This is not the Monistat yeast-infection cream; please don't go rubbing that stuff on your face. This anti-chafing balm's main ingredient is the same as many foundation primers': dimethicone. It also contains Vitamin E and aloe, and it's fragrance-free and formulated to let skin "breathe".

The Monistat gel has a nice texture--sort of powdery, as its name implies. It made my skin matte and soft, and my foundation and pimple concealer went on smooth and seamless. I set both with a dab of translucent powder. Check it out: No pores or pimple here!

VASELINE AND SOCKS

This is a cheap and easy fix to busted feet and you can do it while you’re sleeping!   I have all types of creams/gels etc for my feet. 
BUT….I need something that will WORK and prevent me from embarrassing myself.  Put a healthy amount of Vaseline on your feet.  You can cover your feet with plastic baggies, then apply your socks, or just place a thick pair of socks on.    It makes a world of difference.  There’s nothing worse than looking down while you’re out with friends and seeing how dry your feet are.

DARK SPOT CORRECTOR

Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

I met a girl at the nail shop (Tara) who I thought was super awesome! She told me about this product.  She said she never spends this kind of money on a product but this one was worth it.  I started digging and found out…others felt the same way.   I asked around the office too and some of the girls said it was a “must have”

Approximately 50 bucks at Macys, Belks and other Clinique Counters

A GREAT SHAMPOO FOR DRY/ COLORED HAIR

Ion Keratin Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner – 6.99 at
Sally Beauty submitted by Jessica from Browns Summit

It makes your hair really shiny and smooth and is good for damaged or dry hair. It's also sulfate-free so it's safe for colored hair too.  It’s also very affordable!

ONE OF MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS I FOUND:

I love to  try new products, but eventually keep returning to this shampoo. My hair is shoulder length, dry, color treated and fine. It gives my hair body, shine, and virtually tangle free. I always use the Ion Keratin Smoothing masque at the ends and work up after shampooing. I blowdry and style with a curling iron. Simple. I have
shiny frizz free hair and nothing compares to this product. If I switch, always come back to it. It is the best."
