Reader's Frugal Glam Product: Mascara

This reader's review is from Claire a 20something living in the UK. One of her favorite mascaras is Aveda Mascara Plus Rose (£10.00 or $12.00 from aveda.com in the US) and she likes it because it gives her a natural day look which is great for work. It also doesn't irritate her eyes but makes her lashes look longer and fuller.

Here is a review from a reader:

Taking care of her hair is Lisa's main goal. She maintains her relaxed hair by using a few favorite products.

One of Lisa's favorite product to use is Dark & Lovely Moisture Seal Daily Oil Moisturizer ($3.99, drugstores). It restores the moisture and shine while smoothing and protecting her hair.

She likes it because "I only need to use a small amount to make my hair feel healthy and have a natural shine."

Lisa also like to apply a little of this cream to her hair at night, before going to bed to keep her hair from drying out.

Here is a review from a reader:

Sammie was looking for a cute winter tote bag. She bought this American Eagle Sparkle Tote for $24.50. She said, "I wanted something fun and sparkly that I could take to school and put all of my stuff in."

"I don't always have time to run back to my locker between classes so I just put my books for my next class in my bag".

I'm sure this bag could work for ever stage in someone's life whether you're going to school, work or stay at home mom.

I received an e-mail from a reader who would like to share her Frugal Glam product.

Katie loves to entertain friends at her apartment by having cocktail parties, small dinner parties and casual get togethers. However, her budget doesn't always agree.

To get more for her money Katie bought two sets of the West Elm Metal Coasters (4 for $6.00, westelm.com or stores). They can be used for either formal or casual get togethers.

She loves them because they instantly make her parties and small apartment look chic and sophisticated.
