Gilding the Lily

Every woman is entitled to feel beautiful, but many people believe that beauty has a very high price tag. Yes, going to extreme measures, like plastic surgery or Botox injections, will definitely put a sizeable dent in your wallet, but there are lower-cost (and less painful) ways to feel and look beautiful.     

Mani/Pedi Services: You may be thinking that manicures and pedicures are way too expensive…but you would be wrong. Many high-end salons offer quick, get-in, get-out manicure and pedicure options for significantly reduced rates. These no-frills treatments usually only include basic polish changes, shaping and filing, sans the massage and hot-towel treatment.    

Makeup and Skincare: Cosmetics and skincare products are a must-have part of any woman’s beauty arsenal, but heading to the discount drugstore for low-price (and often low quality) items is not the only way to save money. If you know where and when to shop you can get high-quality products that both deliver on their promises and make you feel fabulous–and saving money is a fabulous bonus. From July 17-21 you can get $10 off orders of $50 or more at Philosophy—carriers of the famed Hope in a Jar product line. Philosophy offers everything from moisturizers to fragrance to bath and body products and gifts
