Teitell explores women’s spending habits when it comes to beauty and how tough economic times do — or should I say don’t – affect them.

Worth the read to get you thinking about your own spending on beauty products and procedures.
What should you take away from this article?
Know how much you can afford to spend on beauty without sacrificing other important areas of your life or affecting your future financial well-being. If you can pay the bills on time, put food on the table, and still be able to set aside money for beauty luxuries without going into the red then you’re laughing all the way to the bank in your pretty Prada pumps. Afterall, image is important and does make an impression in both your personal and professional life.
How much you opt to spend on beauty is a personal choice. But, always keep in mind that beauty-related purchases should enhance how you feel about yourself and your looks, not serve as a temporary solution to low self-esteem. Love yourself, balance your budget, and then enjoy beauty buys.
