You Don't Have To Be Disappointed. Utilize Your Resources!

Just because we talk about fashion and beauty on a budget doesn't mean we have to sacrifice on style and aesthetics. The trick is to utilize your resources.

For example, I recently obtained from the library The 5 Minute Face by Carmindy. Yes, the library!! Utilize this resource. It's a great way to support your community as well as preview books before you add them to your collection. The 5 Minute Face guides you through; from skin essentials, to the types and colors of makeup that bring out your natural beauty. I love the fact that her steps are easy to follow and she shares her secrets tips with us. It's also helpful that the products she uses range from inexpensive to expensive.

With todays technology and wealth of information on the internet, that style or look you may be trying to achieve is just a click away. If the look that catches your eye is a little too pricey for your budget, take that look and bargain shop!! Utilize the internet to search for coupons or sale prices before you go out and purchase your items. This extra step will help you stay within your budget.

What tricks and resources do you utilize?
