Wondering when to pinch pennies and when to make it rain?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From makeup to skin care to hair styling, some beauty buys are worth the dough, and some just aren\u2019t. We\u2019re here to help you tell the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Skincare<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sunscreen: Save<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you <\/span>use sunscreen as often as you should<\/span><\/a>, you\u2019re going through a lot of it, so it\u2019s best to keep it cheap.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Facial Brush: Splurge<\/b><\/h4>\n

A sonic facial cleanser is the fastest route to complexion perfection, so treating yourself to a luxurious version like the <\/span>LUNA 2<\/span><\/a> is a definite yes. For those with champagne taste on a beer budget, the <\/span>LUNA play range<\/span><\/a> has all the same benefits for less than your weekly Starbucks tab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moisturizer: Save<\/b><\/h4>\n

Moisturizing is an important step in the process of maintaining your skin. But unless yours is very sensitive or <\/span>very dry<\/span><\/a>, you\u2019ll be just fine using a drugstore moisturizer. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Body Lotion: Save<\/b><\/h4>\n

No matter how much you want that chocolate souffle-scented body butter, it probably won\u2019t <\/span>hydrate your skin<\/span><\/a> any better than the drugstore brand lotion. Alternatively, you can get major moisture without any chemicals & save a couple bucks with a natural oil, like coconut<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Serum: Splurge<\/b><\/h4>\n

Do you layer your skincare products? If you don\u2019t, you should. And if you do, a serum is the first step. It\u2019s what your skin will absorb the most of, so make sure to get some high-quality youth juice.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cosmetics<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mascara: Save<\/b><\/h4>\n

Spoiler alert: there\u2019s not much difference between high-end formulas and discount makeup when it comes to mascara. And since you need to replace them at least every 3 months, an affordable brand is the way to go. <\/span>L\u2019Oreal Voluminous<\/span><\/a> is a personal fave and a steal at only $8.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Foundation: Splurge<\/b><\/h4>\n

When it comes to foundation, you definitely get what you pay for. Finding a formula that <\/span>won\u2019t make you break out<\/span><\/a> or end up looking like an Oompa Loompa will require spending a bit more, but having a flawless base is worth every penny.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hair Care<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hot Tools: Splurge<\/b><\/h4>\n

When it comes to hair styling, the goal should always be to minimize damage. So whether you need an army of appliances to tame your mane or just one, it\u2019s worth the investment. We\u2019re nuts about the <\/span>NASA-level engineering<\/span><\/a> of the <\/span>new Dyson dryer<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hairspray: Splurge<\/b><\/h4>\n

Cheap hairsprays often have a high alcohol content, which can be drying to your hair. Get a formula that will lock in moisture and protect every little fragile strand.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dry Shampoo: Save<\/b><\/h4>\n

This shower-saver may be the best thing since sliced bread, but most dry shampoos are just baby powder with fragrance. So save yourself some major cash with a stroll down the baby care aisle instead. Cornstarch is another oil-absorbing option if you can\u2019t stand that baby-fresh smell.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
