Budget Style on a Shoestring

11/16/2025

23% OFF The Ordinary, the budget-friendliest, TikTok and dermatologist favorite skin-care brand. Ends 12/7

Allure magazine editors love how the brand showcases its transparency promise by listing the exact percentage of active ingredients right in the name, so there's no second-guessing involved.

And Today.com reports that, according to Dr. Marisa Garshick, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, the brand's popularity is the affordable price point (most best-sellers are under $23) and its focus on buzz-worthy and effective ingredients. Dr. Garshick says that the brand's products are "a great fit for everyone."

A few superstar products from The Ordinary, according to dermatologists and editors:

Best for breakouts: The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum

A dry skin hero: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum

TikTok viral: The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Peeling Solution

To combat sweat and smell: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

Costco hotel rooms are a thing! I booked a hotel room through Expedia for two nights for $400.  I went to Costco travel to book a rental car because they have unbeatable prices and I saw they have hotel rooms. I scored the same hotel room through Costco for $330!

I’m imPRESSed! I thought press on nails were childish stick-ons but now that I wear them I’m a convert! I press them on in minutes & they last up to 7 days...and look natural! I’ll admit since I work there i get them free, but at $9.99 or less, (some are Bogo free) on impressmanicure.com, I’ll never spend time or money for a salon mani again. And you can often score them on a huge sale at Walmart.

3 Budget-friendly goof-proof beauty tips for WFH Friyay

GOOF PROOF TRIM: Need a little shaping? Hairdressers say don’t try to reshape your ‘do! To do the least damage, simply twist small sections of hair from root to ends, then snip ¼” from the ends.

LASH EXTENSION SURVIVAL: Don’t try to remove ‘em…it will only pull your natural lashes out too. Don’t apply mascara over extensions (it’ll be a hard to remove mess!). The best plan of action: Magnetic lashes. Apply magnetic eyeliner above your lash line, pop on a pair of magnetic lashes, and you’ll like you’re wearing a fresh set of extensions. Order at kissusa.com

HASSLE-FREE HAIRCOLOR: It’s a good idea to hold out on boxed hair color if you haven’t done it before. In the meantime, count on temporary spray-on, brush-on and comb on hair color. Check out these options on amazon.com. https://amzn.to/2yu8xGl

Don’t Miss These Top Beauty Pins on Pinterest!
With 48 million beauty Pinners, beauty is booming on Pinterest. What’s the big news? These top trend predictions to try, right NOW!


Next-level lashes:
Lash lovers unite! False lashes are the #1 beauty trend for 2018. In fact, Pinterest reports a 152% increase in searches for falsies. KISS lashes are major players in the category, with loads of lashes, including the NEW Lash Couture Triple Push-Up Collection.


Orange is the new black:
Pinterest declares Orange as the color of the summer! Work it with summer sunglasses, sandals, jewelry and makeup. You’ll really nail the look with imPRESS Orange Gel Nails in styles such as “Dedication” and “Cheer”.

Do the summer slide:
Slide sandals are the perfect flats. The style gives your toes full exposure, so if yours are not pedi ready, get them that way in a minute with imPRESS Press-on Pedicure.

Pumped up Oil:
Who knew that beauty oils cleanse, moisturize, strengthen, add shine, soften, and more. While basic beauty moisturizers are humectants (which draw water into hair, skin and nails), oil is the gatekeeper that keeps the moisture from escaping. In fact, Pinterest reports that saves for “cleansing oil” are up a whopping +555%!

Makeup matches:
Complexion matching makeup is a big deal, and now more cosmetics companies offer them. Ditto for nails, with KISS Salon Acrylic N**E French Nails Collection. Pinterest saves for “complexion matching” are up +378%!

GEO Nails:
Geometric nail design choices are endless, ranging from super complicated to so simple. There’s also a tremendous range in prices: complex custom designs are the priciest and most time consuming, while imPRESS Press-on Manicure, with nails that are pre-designed, takes a minute to apply and costs $7.99 (and that’s when they’re not on sale). The only problem is picking which press-on nail design to wear when. On Pinterest, searches for “geometric nails” are up +83%.

All exposed skin needs sunscreen...including your nails! Read more about it on my blog for KISS products

For nail SPF, apply imPRESS press-on nails. Artificial nails lack sunscreen, but false nails block UV light. Choose a gel nail art or a French manicure or pedicure when you apply DIY fake nails.
