Miss Frugal love a good pamper, as do most teenage girls I suspect.At least once a week, she'll disappear into the bathroom with various products and come back out smelling like a walking version of a Lush shop. She has bath bombs, bubble wands, bath melts, hair shampoo she buys herself that costs double what mine does and that's just products. On top of that there is every type of buffer, sponge and cloth known to man in there too!Last weekend I dropped her off at the train station and made her promise not to buy any more bath related smellies - in exchange for this I promised her … [Read more...]
3 cheap perfumes that smell like posh ones….
I don’t know about you but I’ve always been pretty loyal when it comes to perfume – I tend to wear Tommy Girl in the Summer and Gucci Rush in the Winter with a bit of Joe Malone Honey Blossom and Nectarine when my budget allows.Because of my fragrance brand loyalty, Mr Frugal has a pretty easy time as far as Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas presents go and I usually have a constant supply of my favourite perfumes.Miss Frugal, who’s recently discovered a love of perfume, doesn’t have the same brand loyalty when it comes to perfume and she smells different every day thanks to her ever … [Read more...]
Homemade lavender and oats bath soak….
You only have to look around the supermarket shelves these days to see a huge selection of bath soaks, bath scrubs, bath oils and all manner of body washes and bubbles and if you wanted to, you could spend a fortune on pampering yourself in the bath.But you don't need to spend a fortune on expensive products to have a lovely relaxing soak in the bath! In fact, I often make my own lavender and oats bath soak and I have done since I went to a blogging event about four years ago where we were shown how to make it.I don't grow lavender in my garden as Master Frugal hates bees and it … [Read more...]
Amazing two ingredient homemade makeup brush cleaner….
According to Miss Frugal, it's a miracle that I've got to the age I have without realising the importance of makeup brushes. Who knew that the little applicators that you get with eyeshadow palettes are practically useless? Or that if you really want seamless foundation then you need to use a weird shaped sponge AND a foundation brush?If you're still as yet blissfully unaware of the need for a whole collection of makeup brushes then feel free to just skip this post. Or you could always buy yourself a set of nice makeup brushes (this is Miss Frugal's favourite brand) so you can try them … [Read more...]
2 Ingredient homemade hair detangler….
I don't know what Miss Frugal does to her hair when she washes it but everytime she gets out of the bath, her hair is a mass of knots and tangles.To make it easier to comb through before scalp plaiting it for bed (she loves curly hair) we usually spray on a little bit of our homemade hair detangler which really does work wonders.We have a spray bottle that we usually use to make our homemade hair detangler in but last week we made up a smaller bottle ready to take on holiday with us. As I was making it, it occurred to me that I'd never written about how we made it before so I took a … [Read more...]
What happened when we wrote to 10 beauty companies to ask them to send us free stuff….
Like most thirteen year olds, Miss Frugal is a huge fan of Youtube.So obviously, when one of her favourite Youtubers suggested that everyone write to beauty companies to try and get free samples of make up, she was all over it and had a list as long as her arm of companies who she wanted to email.I agreed to help her but only if she narrowed the list down to ten (which took a lot of deliberating) and was OK with me sending the emails rather than the coming from her.She readily agreed so we set about emailing her 10 chosen companies with a very polite (and honest) email explaining … [Read more...]
