Beauty on the Cheap

I kind of feel like it's the great depression all over again with this recession marketing/ propaganda popping up all over the place, aka commercials that tell you how to cook dinner for less than a fiver, how to cut your energy bills, whatever.

anyway, this is one thing i found really useful. it's from Paula Begoun, who is the woman who writes the Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without me books and does reviews of like every beauty product/ shampoo/ lotion ever. I got this is her e-mail from her and it's really cheap cosmetics that she thinks are just as good as expensive ones if you are experiencing a credit crunch. I have been putting off buying new moisturizer because i feel guilty about spending so much on it when i don't even want to buy organic fruit anymore because of the price, but maybe i will try one of her cheapies instead.

Here is the article.
