By CountryDutchess.com

Who likes to look great? Okay, everyone. Now, who wants to not spend a lot to look great? Geeze ....a sea of hands!

Who wants to buy cheap cosmetics? NO ONE!

Well we're with you on this one - no one wants cheap beauty products but really, who wants to spend more than you have to get what you want, right? Which is why we were thrilled right down to the soles of our flip flops to see that Real Beauty.com has come up with yet a bunch more ways to get the most out of your beauty products and save money on popular cosmetic products. We're not talking cheap cosmetics - but instead tips to help you save on the items you already use! With over 3 dozen ways to save money on cosmetics you're sure to find something right for you! But to help get you started, we picked the top seven RealBeauty money saving beauty tips to pass along - and added a few of our own as well!

1. To Save on Foundation: Wet your make up sponge slightly before you dip it into your foundation. Why? The dampness will keep the sponge from absorbing more make up than you need - and that saves a bundle! Brilliant! What? You're not using a make up sponge? Run, run, run to the nearest drugstore and pick one up! You'll waste infinitely less product than if you try to apply with your fingertips!
2. To Save On Hair Masques: Hate spending a bundle on pricey hair masks? Us too. Which is why we loved the Real Beauty.com suggestion to do it all with an at-home avocado hair mask! Get one that's really, really ripe, spoon it out and add in one egg yolk and teaspoon of olive oil. Stir it up, smear it on hair in sections and wait 30 minutes. Wash it off - and voila! Fabulous, conditioned hair!

3. To Save On Zit Control - it's major big business. But you can swat those zits and pimples for just pennies by simply crushing an ordinary aspirin, adding just a drop of water to make it into a paste and apply it before bedtime. In the morning, zits be gone! It's the salicylic acid in the aspirin that is a major ingredient in most acne medications!
4. To Save On Mascara:Your very favorite mascara almost gone? Renew it down to the last few applications by standing it up in a glass of warm water or heating it up with a hairdryer. Genius!
5. To Save On Cellulite Creams: Love to try those pricey cellulite creams except that they are, well pricey? Then try this cellulite cream recipe: Mix some dry coffee grounds into some body lotion and rub it into your problem areas. Leave on for about 30 minutes then shower off. The caffeine in the grounds will help stimulate circulation and might make it easier for to break down those pesky dimples. Plus, it also helps tighten skin for a smoother look.

6.To Save On Skin Masques: Is your skin prone to acne breakouts? Try a honey masque! It has powerful antioxidant and antibacterial properties that is perfect for soothing and calming dry or acne prone skin. Start with a clean face, spread on a thin layer of honey and let sit 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and follow with a light moisturizer. You'll love the way your skin looks!

7. To Save On Eye Liner: Any shadow will double as an eyeliner if you do it right! Start with an eyeliner brush with short stiff angled bristles ( try this one from ELF for only $3.00). Mist it lightly with water and run it over the shadow and apply like a liner. If you wet the brush too much you'll ruin the shadow and get a smudgy-not-in-a-good-way look! For a smoky eye, dampen a Q-tip and run it over shadow and then apply as liner. Perfect!
