Wow. That's too much. Do you really need all that?
Where do you get the time to go through these rituals?

Re: Monthly Beauty Buys!How Much Is It Costing You?

I don't know. I've never put any thought to it. I don't even know the price of the lotion I use.

Monthly? There's no way you can possibly finish using those items within a month. Or else you're using them more than 3ce a day.

Lady, that's too much to be spending monthly undecided

Re: How Much Do You Spend On Beauty Products Monthly? by Sissy3(f): 1:20am On Apr 22, 2009
gal stop overworking yourself and your skin ! too much product on your face is not good either it is not advisable and thats probably why you are spending more each month on your skin care regime.

you gotta give your skin a break. let it breath!

I think she's just being the typical Naija chick. . . .talking abt sth sth she wished she had.

C'mon, all that monthly? First of all, you CAN'T even finish all those bottles in one month.

Second of all, I wouldn't like to see what her face looks like as a result of all those chemicals on her face. undecided
Re: How Much Do You Spend On Beauty Products Monthly? by ThiefOfHearts(f): 1:28am On Apr 22, 2009

~Is there a reason why you're using a Eyelift cream?


~Just read up on whats its Suppose to do . . . .does it work?
Re: How Much Do You Spend On Beauty Products Monthly? by Outstrip(f): 3:43am On May 05, 2009
Your list is not that much different from mine. I use a lot of those myself but I don't think I buy them every month. The neutrogena bodywash I probably do every month but the ones for my face maybe every 6-8 weeks. I can believe though that in Nigeria you can go through these in a month. Whenever I am in NIgeria I constantly wash my face because I swear dust settles on it when I have been outside for a while. In that case she will use this within a month. The only advice I can give is to be careful because every single one of those things you mentioned has 2% salicylic acid which is good to even out your skin tone, I just don't know if you can use that much of it for the long term. I know that you should not even use salicylc acid when you are pregnant so take am easy
Re: How Much Do You Spend On Beauty Products Monthly? by ThiefOfHearts(f): 4:57am On May 05, 2009
salicylic acid doesnt even anything, just burns pimples. Unless a perosn has acne prone skin, they shouldnt be using it
Re: How Much Do You Spend On Beauty Products Monthly? by Outstrip(f): 5:03am On May 05, 2009
It evens out my skin tone and you do not have to have acne to use it. You can even get a more intense dose by getting a chemical peel wth salicylic acid but for everyday treatment 2% salicylic acid is okay
