Beauty products for less but still looking good with it!

According to a recent survey by makeup giant L'Oreal, many women said makeup and beauty items are the last place they seek to trim their budget. However, if your wallet is getting lighter as your makeup bag gets heavier, here are some ways you can start cutting back but still look good.
Get the next best thing. As always been a department store diva, cut back definitely on this one. Make a list of your favorite beauty products and take it with you next time you hit the grocery or drug store. Try to look for similar products in the same colors and shades. Surprise yourself on how much you can able to save. Besides, no one has to know what the label says. And if they do, they might be relieved to know it's a budget brand as well!
Save up for faves. There are certain products that every woman understands that they can't live without. We have all that one beauty product that there's no alternative for, may it be your lipstick since you were 16 or your moisturizer that keeps you from breaking out. If you've already made a habit out of substituting drug store finds for expensive department store luxuries, why not put the difference towards your must-have products? Stash an envelope in your makeup drawer marked "favorite fund" and every time you save on your other products, put the difference in cash in the envelope. Then when you run out of your favorite product, there's no worrying about how to pay for it.
Swap it. Budgeting and saving money aren't just one woman's problem. We are all in the same boat in today's economy. If you've got a product that you barely used or never opened, why not share it with a friend? Trade clean, hardly used or unopened beauty products during girl's get together. You can get rid of products you didn't like and find new favorites without spending any money at all. Don't have time for a party? Look online for forums that let you swap products with other site members!
