The Best At Home Beauty Treatments
I know that when money gets tight usually the first thing to cut back on are things that we consider luxuries. And for many of us, those luxuries are beauty treatments. So here, I have compiled the best of the best of at home beauty treatments. Read on to save some serious cash.
An oxygen facial at a spa usually costs about $150. Get similar face-plumping results with Borba's quench mask, designed to hydrate and rejuvenate dull skin with a bevy of botanicals (including aloe, lychee and ginseng).

Less vs. Luxe Lipsticks...Get The Look For Less in Makeup! Yay!
Now of course I am a high end makeup junkie...but don't think I dont love a good deal! Especially in these times of economic turmoil. Here we asked celebrity makeup artists Molly Stern and Fiona Stiles to share their favorite lipstick look-a-likes -- and they delivered exact shade and texture matches (no one will be able to tell the difference). Now you can get the look of a Chanel lipstick and still afford a night out.
Luxe: Chanel Rouge Hydrabase in Fire, $28.50
Less: Styli-Style Hipstick in Happy, $8.49
"A fun, slightly iridescent red that can pass for the Chanel version. It even has the little bit of gold fleck in it. The one by Styli-Style is less emollient, but you'll get a lot of bang for your buck," says Stiles.
Luxe: Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Only Beige, $26.50
Less: Napoleon Perdis NP Set Lipstick in Washington, $15
"I am always on the quest for the perfect beige lipstick," says Stiles. "This one by Napoleon Perdis is a great color and a perfect texture. The glossiness and warmth of the color prevents you from looking too washed out, which matte beiges can do."
Luxe: Benefit Benetint Lip Balm, $20
Less: Flirt! Tint-a-Licious Lip Sheer in Lover, $10
"Benetint is such a great color and I love that it's sheer and just a little glossy," says Stiles. "This sheer bright pink from Flirt! is a really close match to the Benefit. Sheer brights are so modern and a great way to wear color."
Luxe: Giorgio Armani Sheer Lipstick in Plum, $25
Less: CoverGirl TruShine Lip Color in Plum Shine, $5.66
"I love Armani lip colors. All consistencies. I find their sheer and cream [formulas] are very similar to the formula of CoverGirl's TruShine Lip color," says Stern.
Luxe: Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, $14
Less: Neutrogena MoistureShine Soothing Lip Sheers in Ruby Bliss, $8.99
"Black Honey by Clinique has been on the best seller list years," says Stiles. "Ruby Bliss by Neutrogena is a great, affordable version. The sheer color makes you look polished, but doesn't feel too lipstick-y."
Luxe: Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Pur in Pure Coral, $29
Less: CoverGirl Amazemint Lip Gloss in Freedom of Peach, $5.79
"I am a huge fan of YSL's Gloss Pur, however [also like] the similar finish of CoverGirl's Amazemint Lip Gloss," Stern says.
Luxe: Cle de Peau Lip Gloss in No. 11, $47
Less: L'Oreal Paris Bare Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner in Soft Bloom, $8.96
"This is such a sophisticated color for a drugstore lip gloss. It has a little iridescence but isn't super sparkly," Stiles says. "It's a beautiful sheer color that doesn't taste like candy! A huge bonus."
Luxe: Lipstick Queen Sinner Pink, $18
Less: CoverGirl Incredifull Lipcolor in Warm & Rosy, $6.99
Stiles found these two to be near-perfect matches. T
Luxe: Nars Lipstick in Kiss, $24
Less: Boots No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Velvet Kiss, $9.99
Both lipsticks have a burnt copper shade and the Boots No7 has the advantage of being long-lasting. TotalBeauty.com member 51lincoln says, "I am typically not a fan of long wear but when I need something that lasts 4+ hours I wear this."
Luxe: Lancome Juicy Tubes Sparkling Night in Sky Diamond, $18
Less: Mark Juice Gems in Juicy Cherry Pop, $6
The packaging of these two glosses is practically identical, so it makes sense that the texture and color are similar too. The difference? The Mark gloss looks red in the tube but goes on like a deeper, sheer pink. The Lancome gloss goes on sheer as well, but the shade is true to the way it looks in the tube.
Red:
Luxe: Chanel Rouge Hydrabase in Fire, $28.50

The Look For Less - Nicole Ritchie's Look For Less
Yesterday I did a very casual look for less that can be easily done for much cheaper. Today I am following that trend with Nicole Ritchie. She has come a long way when it comes to style. Does anyone else remember her back in the Simple Life days? Wow, that was some bad fashion. Now she is more reserved, classy and casual. Check out this look below:

Jennifer Lopez Celebrity Look For Less Of The Day!
Jennifer Lopez is a mystery to me sometimes. A chameleon of sorts. She is always reinventing herself - a fly girl - an actress - a spanish star - jenny from the block - super star with bennifer - ghetto fab with diddy - and now she's been pretty low key. We don't hear too much from her and I think that's a good thing. When I saw her in this look I almost just looked over it, but it's so classic I think every girl should have this in her wardrobe.
Quintessential American Look:
Now replicate Jennifer Lopez's sophisticated style with these pieces:
Faux fur coat, Gallery $112; nordstrom.com
Blouse, Elie Tahari, $80; bluefly.com
Belt, Marc by Marc Jacobs, $60; bluefly.com
Jeans, J Brand Denim, $89; singer22.com
And I think you could really even go much cheaper than these pieces that I picked. The jeans and shirt and belt would be easily replaced by some less expensive things. However, the jacket is definitely a steal!
