What amazes me is...

You all spend 1000's of bucks to cover up the beauty that is you.

Most of you don't need it.

Bet you look your best right after you wake up in the morning you just
can't see it ...

from this side of your eyes.

Cosmetics industry spends lot O' big bucks to convince you of that.

They take advantage of the fact that from your side of your eyes the
evaluation is self-critical. From my side of your eys the evaluation is
unconditional.

omg AB - Why aren't you snatched up yet? Almost every post I read, you
have such a kind regard for women!

There's no doubt that all of the fashion magazines and tv ads lure both
men and women into their web of "you need this and you need that to look
good" money campaign! They don't brainwash everyone into thinking along
those terms. Some people just like the "natural" and it works for them.
Then there are those that are plain janes that feel good, with or
without the ads, when they wear cosmetics. Also, just because some
products are much more expensive than others does not mean they are
better!

ohwell I hardly spend any thing on stuff.
even thou my hair is to the top of my pants & thick, because I keep it
tied in a knot on top my head it only takes a lil S&C.
wear lil make up then not often. Deoderant & chapstick are what I buy
most. flowerforyou

I am natual...I don't like the feel of makeup on my face...I only wear
it if I have to....Like a special occasion(wedding, funeral, etc)

I prefer to let my beauty shine through.

I really do not spend all that much....I buy what is on sell and it
pretty much does the same as the expensive products. When I wash my face
at night I pretty much look the same.....
So basically, what you see is what you get with me!!!

wow wonderful Misty
I have permanent eyeliner and I use to not go any where
w/o makeup, however now that I am older I do-
I spend a lot, however more on clothes
Men spend on the gym, hair products also...plus spending
to take us out when we look nice :)

I don't really spend alot on makeup. Mascara is a must have, and get a
new on about 6-7 times a year. They dry out and cake and can carry
germs so I like to keep it fresh. A tube of nude or clear gloss or
lipstick and loose powder, good to go. Less than $100.00 a year. But,
if you are talking perfumes...probably about $1,000. My fav's are over
$90.00 a bottle so it adds up.....like to smell pretty, lol.
