Cosmetic or clothes?


ENG: Hi, my dear readers! I know that there’re many great bloggers among my followers and just stylish and beautiful girls. Anyway, I’m wondering about one thing: what for do you like to spend your money – cosmetic or clothes? Of course if we have a possibility we can spend equal, but our budgets are limited sometimes. I’m not so much passionate about cosmetics; I have just what I need. I’ll not buy 10th shower gel or lipstick just because it smells good or has adorable cover. But I really hopeless about bags, shoes, jewels and clothes. So, for not become like a girl from «Confessions of a Shopaholic» movie, I’m doing the list what I need to buy and trying stick to it. Also outlets and seasons sells are helpful but damn it: new season’s items are so attractive! I need pills from greediness and take away from me my credit card!:)
I’ve put some infographics after the text, it shows how much money women spend in USA for being beautiful.
So, friends how do you planning your spends and what do you prefer more? I’m looking forwards for your experience and advices!

RU: Привет, мои дорогие! Среди моих читателей много прекрасных блоггеров и просто стильных людей. Меня интересует один вопрос: на что вы предпочитаете тратить деньги – на косметику или наряды? На то и другое в идеале, - скажете вы, но реальность такова, что наши бюджеты, к сожалению, не резиновые. Например, я не испытываю особого восторга при виде косметики, пользуюсь своим необходимым минимумом. Считаю не рациональным покупать десятую помаду или гель для душа из-за красивой упаковки и приятного запаха (кто-то может считать по-другому). Но я совершенно безнадежна при виде сумок, обуви, красивой бижутерии и интересной одежды! Чтобы не стать, как героиня фильма «Шопоголик», я пишу список необходимых вещей и стараюсь его придерживаться (ну, или почти стараюсь). Ситуацию еще спасают аутлеты и сезонные распродажи, но, порою, товары из новых коллекций так и манят! Дайте мне таблетки от жадности и спрячьте мою кредитку!)
После текста есть графики с тратами на красоту жительниц США, интересная, на мой взгляд, статистика.
Жду с нетерпением вашим ответов и мнений!

  2. Вика, я как и вы покупаю косметику самую необходимую, а вот с одеждой, точнее с обувью, сумками и аксессуарами, тут уже надо не только кредитку забирать, но и отключить от инета:))перед красотой в этой категории устоять не могу;)

    я тоже пользуюсь минимумом в косметике,а сами вещи,некоторые ткани(шифон к примеру) я просто обожаю.так что скорее потрачу деньги на что-то для гардероба)

  10. I buy more clothes but they mostly from charity ships o the sale- where I buy less cosmetics but spend a lot on them. I don't know if that's a hood way to work but I would rather protect and ave great skin and hair than anything Rose as it makes me Ferlinghetti the most confident

  17. Mmm it's difficult to choose, I love cosmetics and body lotions, etc... but I also love accesssories! I prefer these two things than clothes I think. I go crazy with bags, watches, shoes and jewellery. But I try to have a wish list, otherwise I spend a lot and I don't buy what I really need. Kisses!

  18. great research and statistic :)
    I don't think i can live without personal products like shower gel or skin care. without hygiene and clean skin i just don't feel good:( ..it is a bonus if i get to have nice clothes and make up too of course!:)

  20. Лично я предпочитаю одежду косметике:-) Крашусь я вообще мало в повседневной жизни... Помаду использую редко - в основном бальзам или блеск... Тоналкой или пудрой пользуюсь только для фотографий... Так что мне мало надо:-)
    А вот с одеждой - да, я неудержимый шопоголик:-)

  24. I invest more on clothes but I always try to clean out my closet and resell items on ebay every few months, so I can have some money back to invest in new items. Honestly, I don't make up (my bad) so cosmetic is not such a big financial burden for me.

  27. На одежду, обувь и украшения я трачу намного больше, чем на косметику. Не люблю краситься и всегда пользуюсь минимальным набором, "влезла" в одни духи и уже давно не ищу им замены. Но вот косметика у меня вся дорогая и качественная. Мне очень важно заботиться о своей коже, поэтому постоянные походы к косметологу и различные маски и кремы обязательны для меня. Но т.к. их надолго хватает, то и получается, что трат меньше, чем на одежду и аксессуары.

    У меня в последнее время пошла мания на колье (про обувь я не говорю, это заложено на генном уровне ;) ), и я не могу остановить себя от покупки очередного!

  31. I tend to be a little cheap with my clothes because trends come and go so quickly, I think skin care is essential if you want to stay looking young so I buy a lot of creams and moisturizers as well as use Chanel primer and foundation- however I have been known to use cover girl powder over my Chanel foundation... I think you just have to pick and choose and find what works for you, and what to invest in!

  33. В моих тратах явно преобладает одежда. Я - любительница легкого и естественного макияжа. Так что из косметики покупаю скорее самое необходимое.
