I got an email from one of the beauty message boards that I belong to asking if I was cutting back on my beauty spending due to the economy. I'm not, though I am cutting back on other luxuries so I can continue to spend what I do on products. I can spend almost $2000 a year on once or twice daily lattes OR I could buy one lipstick or mascara a week for the same money. (I know my friends with kids/houses are gagging over that amount right now.)
I guess I have economized on my cosmetic shopping by no longer buying color cosmetics anywhere except department stores and Sephora. I do dearly love the cosmetics aisle at Bartell's and Walgreen's, but ever since I found a skin care regimen that I both love AND use daily, I find myself blithely ignoring the siren call of the pre-pack displays and the L'oreal wall (and stunning my boyfriend by doing so). It's not that there's anything wrong with drugstore makeup- it's just that I am a sucker for the personalized service at the cosmetic counters of Nordstrom's.
As far as other beauty purchases go, I have always been pretty low-maintenance. I have never had. a blow-out, I don't do body-waxes, I only get facials twice yearly and I don't want or need Botox. I love to look at fashion but I don't need to buy it. .
What's your indulgence that you would never give up in a million years?
