Keeping your skin healthy can be a nightmare. Especially when we, as women, are often times required to wear a decent amount of makeup. When competing in pageants, it can be hard to keep you skin happy and hydrated, especially due to the long hours and stress that often times takes place . That’s why we were so excited when we came across this great article about a spa in your kitchen!

All of the items listed in this article are amazingly beneficial for your skin and inexpensive! What more could you ask for?! Take a look at the article and tell us what you think! Leave us a comment on our facebook page, we would Love to hear from you!

P.S. Another great in the kitchen skin tip is the use of raw honey against minor breakouts. Just dab a little raw honey on one of those undesirables and watch it disappear!

Stay healthy, happy, and hydrated (that includes your skin!)

Bargain Beauties love a sale!!! But just because something is on clearance doesn’t mean we need to buy it. Before filling our shopping cart, we make sure each item meets our criteria. It’s an easy approach that you can try too: Fit, Function & Fashion!

FIT: How many times have we bought those jeans that were just a bit snug, telling ourselves we’d lose a couple pounds to make it work? The only thing we lost…our hard earned money! If it fits, it sticks. If not, throw it out.

FUNCTION: The best items to purchase are those that can be worn many different ways, on mutiple occasions and through several seasons. Be honest with yourself when considering how much use you’ll get from a garment.

FASHION: Splurge on the classic items that will take you far, and throw in a few key trendy items each new season. And remember that fashion is supposed to be fun! So feel free to experiment with looks and find your unique personal style.

As bargain beauties, we obviously love all things that deal in glitz & glamour.  So how appropriate is it that our new fave lipgloss comes in a popping pink hue called Glitz??!!  We got this one from our friend Marinda Speelman who sells this fab brand Artistry.  It also happens to be the official makeup line for the Miss America Pageant.  What makes it so great?  It comes complete with a built in mirror and LED light, allowing you to perfectly paint your pout.  And all three shades have a minty fresh flavor…an added bonus!
