    My beauty regimen consists of soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, deoderant, fairly cheap cologne, a little hair gel, and some shaving stuff... the razors are kinda expensive....

    Not too much though...

    bulk soap (for sensitive skin) - 20 bars, $8
    dry skin lotion - $10
    lip balm (blixtex) - $3
    Makeup... about $30/year (not including clinique lip gloss, which as a VERY rare treat to myself, of $20)
    shampoo/conditioner - ummm... $30/year (usually I get a bunch for xmas, lasts most of the year)
    hair dye - $12/month
    razors - $25/month (disposable, woo)

    yep, that's it. I was my face with water and soap if it still feels grody. I don't really get acne or anything, so I've never bought products for that.

    I don't really spend all that much of my own money, because my mom buys razors ($7-8 every few months), soap, toothpaste, deodorant, that kind of thing.

    I do however spend my own money on:
    Astringent: $2
    Face wash: $2
    Moisturizer: $2
    Anti-frizz stuff: $4
    Shampoo: $1-4 (I buy a different kind every time I run out)
    Conditioner: $3
    Eyeliner: $1
    Powder: $4

    I think that's about it. I always get assloads of lotion and body wash for Christmas, so I don't really have to buy that. I love cheap cosmetics.. they work well for me, I guess.

    well, i get most of my stuff for free from the body shop since my father works there, so i barely spend anything. i get all my soap, body washes, facial clensers, shampoo and conditioner, lotion. i treat myself to some good cologne once a year. so yea, i'm pretty much set on all that stuff.

    I think I'd be sick if I saw my price and list total. Maybe it's not that bad but it's enough.

    hmmm probably a lot

    i like my MAC makeup brushes, aveda shampoo, armani's emperio for her is the best perfume ever! and i love bodyshop body butter lotions (the coconut one is heavenly, but not as good as gauva lotion)

    i used to do facials a lot...but theyre expensive, so i cut back. i'm going for one soon though :D

    oh god, and i probably spend a bundle on colouring the hair

    I have sensitive skin and used to get very expensive prducts for free through where I used to work so I developed expensive tastes when it comes to that. If I get new make up I never get away from the counter for under a few hundred. I've gotten a lot better I went back to a color close to my natural hair color so I reduced my bill and frequency with my colorist and I completley stopped getting manicures and pedicures. Clothes is what does me in horribly, I can go to a show and if i have enough credit easily spend a few pay checks. see this is why men pay for dinner:) heh
