How much money do you spend on beauty?

The bills can really add up between new cosmetics, treatments, salon appointments, etc. etc. In general, how much do you spend on your beauty regimen a month?

i try to curb my wishes but i end up spending more than i actually should...apart from basics...i often get lured by wish to try new prodcuts and end up buying a couple of new things even if i dont need them...

I spend probably on average:

Makeup: $10
Haircut: 60
Weight Watchers: 20
Hair products: 5 to 10
Pedicure: $30 but I only do 2-3 a year

I don't spend all that much - my hair is long and I only get it cut when I need to, I get it coloured at a salon before holidays, but the rest of the time I use home kits for that.

I have a fairly simple beauty routine, and use Miss Sporty (a very inexpensive brand aimed at teens) for most cosmetics. The only thing I spend a lot on is mascara - I find that cheap mascara makes clump quickly, and it turns out to be a false economy.

im a bit frugal now when it comes to beauty...buying those olay moisturizers and those anti cellulite nivea creams are so hard for me sometimes but hey we need those anti ageing things! im only 25 but i want to at least slow down my ageing process...

I'm not a makeup hog..I have la good amount of it..but keep only what I use...I'm good about weeding through it .. I spend more on face creams and serums...all the makeup in the world won't help if your skin looks like crap...and I'm diligent about my routine...which is very important..I love when I get samples to try ...then I go on ebay and try to get the stuff cheaper....I'll pay $50.00 for an eye cream..but not $200.00....No way..and it makes a difference, IMO..

Not too much I don't think-things are too tight around here. But I am seriously allergic to just about everything on my face, so I avoid salons. Make up has to be stuff that doesn't make me break out and works out something stupid like $200 for foundation, almost as much for a powder or eye shadow. I go naked faced most of the time for that reason.
