Elf Cosmetics -- Fantastic Beauty Items for a Buck
You no longer have an excuse that you can't afford to "put on your face". Elf products are a $1 each, but you get much more than a buck's worth of style. With celebrity endorsements such as Eva Longoria, Melinda Clarke, and Sara Paxton, who reportedly gave out Elf cosmetics as party favors, how can you go wrong? It's only a buck for cryin' in a bucket! I love the vanilla scented lip gloss. The only product I was dissatisfied with was their mascara, you can go ahead and skip that one (it flakes), but all the other products faired well and the lip products and brushes are quality made. I bought mine at Target in the travel size amenities section, but Target's website offers the full line.

Designer "Inspired" Purses
Want a Coach purse but have to allocate funds to diapers instead? You may want to consider a designer "inspired" purse for a fraction of the price. When I carry them, nobody knows the difference, all I get is compliments and envy. Their web site also includes information on how to host a home party and invite all your girly girl friends to share mimosas and high pitched squeals over handbag bargains. A must in every MILF's fashion repertoire.
