    Default Beauty cost

    How much would you say you spend monthly on being pretty? Gym, beauty treatments, cosmetics, hell just for fun lets add shampoo and moisturizers. Anything you can think of that adds to your investment in your beautiful self. I'm estimating about $60 a month on just me.

    Oh God idk. I will say that it costs more as you get older.

    Between Xeomin (botox), Sally's Beauty stuff, Shampoo, conditioner, haircut, spray tan, I must've spent about 375 this month alone...

    40 per month? 50 tops
    That's sunscreen, Shea butter, oils, shampoo and condish, razors, new mascara monthly, and occasionally nails.
    It really changes tho cause in the summer I do self tanner too and and pedicures. Or some months I like to try out new skin oils etc.
    i used to spend a SHITTON on Venus razors and getting nails done every four weeks and salon visits and ulta makeup,but now I do my own hair, get men's razors, and have a much more natural approach and it's saved me a ton of money personally.

    Depends from month to month. If it's a month when my cream / eye-cream needs repurchased or my favorite perfume, it can easily go to $200 and more. And other months when I spend $40 for swimming / sauna and that's about it

    When I was younger I used to get lots of salon treatments (electrical muscle stimulation / full body wraps / ultrasonic liposuction cavitation - this actually worked) but I just got bored and I don't think they're worth the money anymore

    Oh god lol it has to be alot. Up to a grand some months. I do spray tans (buy packs of 3 for 75$ but I don't always go every week), facial treatments (hydra facial + micro needling or photo facial is like 400 with tip), gym (only like 20 a month), if I need my hair done that month (highlights + move up extensions around 300.. but thats every 6 weeks), then other stuff like lip injections (couple hundred each time but thats not every month), nails & lash extensions (around 200) & any stuff I need to buy (hair products last me a while but I run out of makeup every now and then). Oh ya and I paid for that online trainer which was another 300 (but that'll just be a one time purchase).

    It's worth it though.. to me. I just had an old regular come in yesterday after being gone for a few months and he said "I didn't think it was possible for you to get hotter!" lol

    But now I list everything out I sound extremely high maintenance lol.

    i get mostly the same or similar things done. I easily spend 1K on average a month. Plus my deadly Sephora addiction, it adds up... My accountant deducts it all. I know there are split opinions on that topic, but it works for me.

    Goddamn it's expensive being a woman! And men wonder why we demand for equal pay. smh.

    I buy drug store makeup which includes foundation ($10), mascara ($10), and eyeliner ($7). I never buy blush or eye shadow, but I'm going to start buying it as well, so add those costs ($15).

    Also, Sally Hansen nail polish ($3), perfume ($7), Organix argan shampoo ($8 ), Jason's Biotin conditioner ($12), Naturtint hair dye ($14), razors ($2), shaving cream ($5), and moisturizer ($15). I just bought some synthetic hair extensions online for $30. Oh, and all the hair oils I use: Organix healing dry oil ($8 ), argan oil ($25), castor oil ($6), rosemary oil ($12), and jojoba oil ($5).

    I also get tea tree oil for my skin ($10). Also have to include hair supplements ($35) and teeth whitening ($35).

    I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Yeah, this stuff adds up. Mind you, I'm not buying all these products every month. But the monthly average would probably be around $150/month on beauty cost alone.

    Let's see here, I'm a natural born charlatan so I save big on high end things by doing these simple but lasting tricks to not have to spend big money on products I know I will eventually get bored with.

    At Sephora: I always ask for samples of high end foundations, concealers, day creams, eye creams, expensive ass perfumes, which usually lasts me around a month or more. I never spend money in there like ever bc they usually give me generous portions of the product. LoL Yes I'm cheap but hey so what.

    Target or Walmart: I buy super cheap shampoos & conditioners like suave color care (it really works wonders too), I'll buy Loreal deep mask conditioner as a weekly hair mask. I usually buy the cheaper body washes or buy in travel sizes so it lasts me. I also get my mascara & face powder here (I look for high end dupes). So prob around $20-$30 every 2 months for all that. I also buy my exfoliants here for face & body which lasts awhile.

    Haircare: I dye my hair & switch up colors very often so I always get my supplies at Sally's, I'll splurge $15 on color at other places that don't carry my crazy rainbow colors I use. My hair extensions are around $100 for 18 inch at Sally's which I replace every 2-3 months depending on how busted they get.
    Walgreens: I always ask for free samples of whatever beauty stuff they have at the moment ( they always have something useful)

    I'm about to start bed tanning lightly for summer coz i'm white as f$ck so that'll end up being around $60 a month for a 30 day trial deal.

    All in all I don't spend much bc I end up being hot as fuck regardless of how much I spend. It's really all in upkeep of everything & being VERY frugal (asking for samples, etc)

    Oh hell I don't even wanna add this up.
    Nails 200 a month. Botox works out at 200 a month ... I do it every 3 months. Lashes 300. Tanning I guess 45 dollars. Gym 65. Hair sometimes I just use a box dye when it's dark so $12 on dye and prob $250 on cut plus random blow outs.

    Make up ... it varies ... maybe 250 max ... tho that's prob an overstatement.

    I figured that I don't make purchases for skincare or hair products every month so I divided the cost by the months it replaced. Or I only get haircuts on the as needed bases so I divided $120 by 6. I think that's why my number is so small. For the record I've never paid more than $70 for a facial. What type of spa do you go to?

    Do you shop at Family Dollar? That's pretty thrifty.

    My estimate is $70 to $100 a month including GNC products. It costs a lot to look fast, reckless & cheap... lol...

    I'm sure it's all professional grade. They're on a super popular TV program.
