Sephora to Shop Rite

Deciding to put away cash for the house, I thought about ways that I could cut my spending and put more into the savings.  I have seen all the commercials with cosmetic companies claiming that there products are just as good as those found in department stores, so I decided to give myself a little challenge.

As my beauty products run out I have been replacing them with something I can get while at the grocery store.  Now, I must tell you that my local Shop Rite has the WORST selection, but I have stuck it out and done my best with what is available.

Here is how it has gone down...

Bobbi Brown Champagne Eye Shadow $21

Bobbi Brown Shell Eye Shadow $21

Bobbi Brown Taupe Eye Shadow $21

Maybelline Eye Shadow $3.99

Anastasia Brow Whiz $20

Maybelline EyeBrow Pencil $4.99

Guerlain Mascara $36

Maybelline Mascara $8.49

Aveda Shampoo $18

Loreal Shampoo $6.99

Aveda Conditioner $18

Loreal Conditioner $6.99

Boscia Face Cleanser $26

Clean & Clear $5.49

Jurlique Balancing Mist $31

Sea Breeze Toner $4.99

My skin still looks the same, and people have been asking me where my make up is from! I have to say that this switch was much easier than I ever imagined, and I am glad I did it.  Now I just have to use the rest of my over-priced cosmetics so I can find great low-priced alternatives!

By the way, my total savings so far $187.05!!!!!!!
