Its been a while since I posted any thing some I have some interesting thoughts on beauty most recent how to be Divalicious on a budget. Since the summer is winding down and the fall fashions are coming out I thought I would talk about how to preserve your sexy as Puffy would say. But also how to do for less. I love expensive potions and lotions but my budget busts trying to fit all of in and keep up with the trends gets to be taxing and expensive. So bump the trends and lets get back to basics. Everyone give it up to my sister Shanelle who recently bought her first big girl skin care regime. HAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY:) She bought the line including the night cream from Boscia www.sephora.com. Which leads be to my first point, find a skin care regime that fits your skin type and concerns that you like and stick to it in the long run you will save money and your skin will thank you from the consistency. My picks LUSH skin care I currently use the Angles on Bare Skin and the the Eau Roma Water Toner and Imperials moisturizer this can be found at http://www.lushusa.com/ and or at most Macy's in the Twin City area. If that is not your price point let me suggest Cetaphil cleanser, witch hazel, and Cetaphil daily moisturizer that can be found at any drug store. Another drug store treasure is Cerve cleanser and moisturizer. Just recently on a trip to Target I came across this product line Boots and there is a full array of products some with botanical and also organic skin care I suggest the Boots original formula.www.boots.com. For body use coconut oil, and this can be an all over moisturizer as well as a night cream it does wonders check out your local coop for a jar. Lastly, our hair if your relaxed, braided, or natural here are a few products that your wallet will thank your for. Skip the shampoo apply coconut oil as a pre wash and or apple cider vinegar mix. mix 1 part water and 1 part apple cider vinegar. Trader Joe's Nourish conditioner great for dry hair. What I love these days are the Lush Rehab shampoo and Coolaulin Conditioner these two together fabulous. Lastly some honorable mention products Noxzema skin cream yes in the blue jar and also St. Ides apricot scrub.
