Bailout Beauty

Given the state of the union, there are going to have to be some cutbacks in my household budget (especially since I've got a wedding going on this summer). But like you fellow sav. Sephora gals, I believe that beauty is a right, not a privilege. And there are some things that I refuse to let go.

Here's my got-to-keep-it-no-matter-what-the-precio list:

Clarins Younger Longer Balm ($98)
Just because we've got some serious worries these days, doesn't mean we should look like it. This take-no-prisoners formula combats small lines, big wrinkles and everything in between with a patented blend of antioxidants, green algae and butcher's broom. Plus, it's as rich and creamy as the day is long.



no!no! ($250)
If cutting back means you are trying to stretch time between waxes, think again. This handy dandy at-home device delivers salon-style fuzz-free faces in mere minutes with little redness
