Guys let’s face it – you can’t get the beauty products that you love without having money. Now, the issue here is we can’t go broke spending money on beauty products. That’s not a way to live. I wouldn’t say I am frugal but I believe you need to plan and budget for your purchases even if you can buy the lipsticks today, I am not a financial advisor though so please make sure you also follow up on your own. I am going to cover how to buy the beauty products you love without going broke.

Make a list of products you want for the next 2 months

British women spend around £4,500 per year on their looks and beauty in general, according to research cited in Harper’s Bazaar UK magazine. That’s a lot of cash but it’s nothing new. Women around the world adore beauty products and buy them frequently. You should make a list of beauty products that you want to buy for the next 8 weeks. 2 months works because we all know the beauty industry moves quickly and there are always new releases, including the fact you may finish the product early. You don’t need to buy everything that comes out – just purchase the products that you are passionate about. 

I wanted to love NYX Lip Cream in Havana so much. The pigment looked so rich and delectable in the tube. It definitely looks worth it without a shadow of a doubt. However, once you apply the lip cream this is where the problems start. And no, my lips are soft and not flaky. 

I am completely obsessed with coffin nails. Here are some of the best styles I have found from different sources that you can use as inspiration to make your nails look glamorous and gorgeous. Press-on coffin nails are better on your nail bed and the skin of your fingers, however, acrylics do go the extra mile and they last longer. I would go for press-on nails so you can change your styles often. Let’s get into it:

MAC Film Noir Lipstick

MAC Film Noir is a solid option for people who love burgundy and wine coloured lippies. Film Noir obviously is going for that 1940s theme with the name and colour. I like this colour but I am not wild about it.

Coincidentally, Film Noir is the only lipstick colour that my boyfriend thinks looks good. He hated Heroine so much. I think the reason why burgundy colours are popular with the opposite sex on us is because they have an air of sophistication.
