Well, as a double income, no kids (for now) couple, my husband and I spend lots of money every month. I spend A LOT on beauty items...hair care, skincare, makeup, experimenting and trying new products. Other than my Maybelline mascaras, I tend to buy high-end, expensive prestige makeup and haircare. I also have my hair colored once a month at $80 a pop (including tip.) For now, I will not give up my Josie Maran body butters (but I'm well stocked for a good year) or Paula's Choice skincare. In addition to buying less, I want to be more frugal with what I do purchase. That being said, I need to know your favorite drugstore brands and dupes of makeup and haircare/permanent hair color, and any other beauty products you love.

I'm sorry, but I just can't wrap my head around spending $600 a month on beauty products. And that has nothing to do with my financial status.
I do wish you luck in your new endeavor.

Between waxing, hair, nails, pedicures and beauty product spending, it can add up.

Since you inquired about powder foundation in the thread about the "toothbrush foundation brushes", I'll start with that. I like Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation. I haven't tried my "toothbrush" with it yet, though. I'll be watching for more responses as I'm also trying to be frugal in my beauty spending.

I use ELF HD loose powder and apply with Real Technique sponge that is a frugal alternative to the Beauty Blender sponge. I se the loose powder has a finishing powder over my foundation or ELF BB cream.
Real Techniques website has a video on different products you can apply using their sponge.

Please try to cut back on what you are spending on beauty products. When you are older and sick of working and want to quit or get laid off at the age of 50 and can't find a job but you have to work because you don't have any money saved you'll wish you didn't spend so much on beauty products.

Don't buy high end products. If you want drugstore brands go to a drugstore.
