If people spent less on food by buying more natural foods and fewer processed foods, they'd not only lose weight but they'd look better too. Which ironically means they might even use fewer cosmetics because they'd have more great skin days. On average, “Fashion Over Food” makes sense to me.

Non-negotiable. But the rest of it? Hell, no. I’d eat less to buy toothpaste, soap, or shampoo, sure — that’s like toilet paper. Non-negotiable. But the rest of it? Hell, no.

I am nowhere near close to being out of shampoo or moisturizer. It makes me wonder what I was thinking buying all this stuff. I tend to buy higher-end brands for eyeshadow and lipstick/gloss but I use L'Oreal for foundation and moisturizer since I have to replace it so often. I've definitely cut back on my makeup budget but I'm also spending less on food because I'm discovering that the generic brands taste exactly the same as brand names.
