Bonjour ladies, i Hope you will appreciate my honesty and transparency, hopefully it will inspire you to look after yourself and to safe money lots of love ❤️ Frederique
Bonjour Frédérique, le meilleur produit pour des cils longs et en santé et le moins couteux est l'huile de ricin. J'en mets une goutte sur mon doigt et j'applique sur la paupière à la base des cils chaque soir. C'est magique!
@@johanneg1717 Also, lash growth serums can not only change the color of your eyes, eye doctors are now finding that they can mess up your vision because of one of the ingredients. I'll stick with Castor oil.
@@LaPinturaBella Huile de ricin is French for Castor oil
@@johanneg1717 Merci. It sounds so much nicer in Francais. 😉
Frederique I just found you and I already like you. Love your honesty, I'm 41 and I love your style, kisses from Mexico
Thank you, Frederique, for the wonderful tips and inspiration! I used to spend so much money on all the things you mentioned and I’m trying to be smarter now that I’m retired. I also want to thank you for your tips about finding our own personal style. Just today, while standing in line for sliced meats at the grocery in Houston, Tx. , a nice lady turned to me and told me how nice I looked. I was wearing a simple summer dress with a Fedora hat, my hair in a ponytail and the paper clip earrings from your Amazon suggestions. It turns out that Morissette, the nice lady, is originally from Normandy, France but moved here after getting married and where she has lived ever since. (She’s now a chic 91 and in the fullness of time has lost all her friends, including her husband). I told her all about you, and how much you have inspired me to always give it that little extra effort that can bring such joy to everyday life. Morissette says she’s going to watch you too because she needs that encouragement. And we’re going to meet for lunch and compare notes.
And on our lucky days, possibly while wearing paperclip earrings, may we all meet a wonderful new friend like Morissette! Merci beaucoup!
I recently decided to spend my clothing budget only on high-quality items that I really love, like silk and cashmere garments and genuine leather footwear, bags and belts. I already have a wardrobe bursting with fast-fashion items, I don’t need more.
I’m with you…. If you watch a small wardrobe on RUclips she’s excellent at helping people curate
I can’t stand wearing plastic anywhere on me. Cotton, silk, cashmere only. Except for rain wear. No plastic shoes ever, except rain shoes again.
That goes for jewelry, only 14-18k gold.
You are the resourceful friend every woman needs! Thank you, Frédérique!
Thanks love 🥰
Thank you for giving us a breakdown on the changes you are making. Last year I stopped getting my hair professionally colored. I’m 57 and realized that the only way to increase my travel budget was to cut back on hair, etc. Working longer is not the way to live a balanced life. I want to be pleased with how I look…while sitting on a plane to a new destination.
Thankyou for being honest and open regarding your skin. I don't think there anything wrong with getting botox or fillers. If it boosts ones confidence I'm all for it. And the world is a better place with more confident happy people around- that's how I see it.
Yes please to the skincare / dermatologist video. I’m interested in both the IPL and the skincare recommendations. Thanks!
Will do, thanks 🥰
You've inspired me to do my nails red today Frederique! I wore my black blazer, a simple T with black jeans and felt fab!! Thanks for these self care tips..love them!!
Thanks darling xx 🥰
I stopped the manicures and gave myself Botox and I’m SO HAPPY ! I’m also 49 and it was time to take seriously care of my skin by going to the dermatologist. Finally these manicures were as expensive on a yearly basis than my visit to the dermatologist + the Botox ... 😉 your excel spreadsheet is your best friend girls 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yes yes yes please a pigmentation video...I have age spots on face and hands. Thank you for your honesty about botox and fillers it was a great price guide for my own plans.
I’ve been getting botox between my eyes to decrease the frown lines for the past year. I was very self conscious of them. It has made a world of difference in my confidence.
Fabulous
Totally agree with the spending craziness. I’m trying to use up what I have but the temptations are often overwhelming as we think if we only have a certain product we’ll be more beautiful. Thank you for being so natural and so creative.
I cannot put on a fake lash to save my life. I had eyelash extensions once and honestly it only looked nice for a week and then it looked like a spider was squashed on my eye. But I tried the mascara you mentioned and really is great and makes your lashes look fabulous.
Thanks for this video. Personally, I'm not into botox and filler (I'm 47), but if they make someone happy and confident, they are welcome! And, yes you look great!
Thanks love 🥰
Right? It’s not for me… yet. I will never say never. If people want to freshen up a touch as they age it’s perfectly reasonable.
I do worry about some absolutely beautiful younger women in the beauty community on RUclips who do not need to have a thing done but have picked up quite the habit in their 20s. Every year they want to get more and more done. I worry they will not look natural in their 40s, when they should consider getting a little work done, and will regret it.
@@pollysshore2539 yes, totally agree with you. And it's sad, a youg girls does not need something to be done in her face. But I think it will become a sort of addiction
@@Federica1975 A fee will always go overboard.
I'm 45, and this year I invested in improving my smile 😁, over the years my teeth where no longer straight and I wanted my smile to be what it was when I was 20. So I spent thousands of Euros to fix it. I opted for the "invisible" braces and I am loving the results. A beautiful healthy smile is more important to me than no wrinkles.
I have too many money saving tips to mention! I do spend money though on the things that really matter to me and which I enjoy.
Just some tips...I never pay full price on cosmetics, haircare and skincare brands that regularly go on sale. Go online and see who has it hopefully at 50% or even 30% off then buy and keep aside.
I don't dryclean jackets/coats. I just spot clean the outside and turn them inside-out and wipe the underarm lining esp. with baby wipes and hang outside in the sunshine to dry and disinfect the lining.
No eye serums (damaging to eye health, see Dr Dray's RUclips videos). I just "tightline" my upper eyelashes and use a couple of layers of Essence Lash Princess false lash effect mascara (black & green packaging). I have just seen that RUclips's Smitha Deepak uses it too.
I don't wear false eyelashes or have nail or lash extensions. I may put on some subtle individual eyelashes for special occassions. I paint my nails at home. I use Essence brand drops (about $4) to dry my nails. I use Essence nail polish too, very budget friendly. Olive oil drops or spray can be used to dry nails too.
My latest experiment is making a hair setting spray from linseeds (aka flax seeds), $4 a bag. The sieved liquid from boiling up and simmering the seeds is combed through washed and dried hair. I use fabric covered sponge rollers which are comfortable to sleep in (or the spacebun and scrunchie technique). My hair is smooth, soft, wavy and bouncy in the morning and importanntly holds the curl all day plus.
I buy Olaplex no. 1 on eBay to put into my at home hair colour rather than go to the salon.
I trim my own hair
I dont do IPL to fade pigmentation I use the John Plunkett's Superfade Hydroquinone cream (OTC in Australia). For face, hands, neck chest etc.
I also love my Illumiaskin flexible silicone LED face mask. Different light colour setting modes for anti-aging, acne and many more. It seems just as good as the very expensive ones. I purchased it online from Aldi Australia. Cheaper than LED treatments at salons. Not always in-stock online.
I use Treninoin/retinol and sunscreen as a preventitives (and beauty investment) for the future too.
👱♀️❤
A very useful video, Frédérique! Thanx again ♥and yes, more videos like this. The golden rule is moderation. Also wanted to add that there are so many really good and super affordable brands like Elf, NYX, Milani that have cruelty-free, vegan makeup and skincare products. They have dramatically improved their formulae over the years and are worth every penny, they beat out the high-end brands in many categories and absolutely help save money.
Thank you darling xx 🥰
Thank you for this video. I was a victim of fast fashion for years; always buying new clothing, but never seemed to have anything to wear. Now as a mature woman, I want to present myself as chic and sophisticated, but not overdone. To start, I threw out cheap cardigans and replaced them with good quality blazers, one black and one cream-colored, and had them tailored to look impeccable. I can see getting a lot of wear out of these with jeans, dresses, skirts and dress pants. I definitely feel more put together.
Thank you so you so much for your kindness ❤️
I can’t even imagine spending that much money on the regimen you have. I was lucky to have good genes. Very few wrinkles at 65. But I also had a very wise mother who taught me from a young age to always wear a hat and to always remember to put cream and lotion on. The best way to save money is to start young and protect against the Sun.
That is true, however pretty tough when you grow up in a tropical country, as she did.
@@maryokeefe5351 I grew up in San Diego county which is in Southern California. Basically a desert. By the Beach. My mom had a mom who told her the same thing. I was fortunate to have that kind of wisdom.
And a few just have the right genes. I have a friend in her eighties with fewer wrinkles than many fifty year olds and not a single white hair on her head. The whole family has been lucky like that. The rest of us have to take good care of ourselves.
Cannot agree more!
I am 63, using retinoid night cream 6 nights a week, and a sunblock in the morning for the last 30 years. I am not wrinkled at all.
If you saturate your hands in shae butter and cocoa butter and put rubber gloves on them for a few hours 1 or 2 x a week it makes a big difference in how smooth your hands are
Totally agree! A great haircut actualizes us. Please more videos like these. I’m also using products I already have. Thanks, Frederick ❤
Thanks love xx 💗
Thanks for sharing this. I always have a large stock of creams and makeup in my cupboard. Now am "shopping" in my cupboard, and only replace when I have empties. I have also discovered drug store brands like Cerave and Eucerin which don't break the bank and work just as well as more expensive brands. I also buy products from The Ordinary. Not sure if you have these in Australia. I will be very happy to have room in my cupboard! 😄
Hi, Yes we have those brands in stores and online in Australia.
👱♀️❤
CeraVe foot lotion is amazing. It took less than three days to restore my dry, callused and cracked feet.
Thanks darling xx 🥰
Love these videos! I like how you broke it down to yearly cost and savings! Your skin DOES look amazing 🥰
Thanks love 🥰
I love you even more now hearing you are staying away from fast fashion! This is my New Years resolution and I have found amazing unique finds at our local consignment store and I also wash everything by hand, silk, cashmere. Blazers are the only things I can’t clean at home!
I appreciate your candor, and your realistic approach for everything! You still amaze me, and hey girl…you look fab without looking fake. I love that about you
Hello Oscar!! Great video and thank you for your honesty/transparency. I, too, am doing the “buying nothing new in 2022” (unless I must replace an item).
Great video! As I get older, I adjust my budget because I no longer use as much makeup as I did in younger years, but I’m willing to spend more on quality skin care. I don’t need so many clothes, so I don’t buy as much. I buy only quality shoes that do not hurt my feet. (Terrible broken ankle last summer. . . lots of surgery and rehab. . .) It’s amazing to me how my values have changed. I have less, but better quality! Makes me happy!
Thanks Emily 🥰
This is not an advertisement, but try a night cream by Lacura(from your local ALDI grocery store) costing all of $4.29! It has retinol, which is friend of our skin. I use it alone as my day and night cream, and no makeup. Everyone says I donot look my 77 years age. (Tribute also some good genes from my Mom, who never used makeup).
@@lourdelinetarampi9984 Thank you!!! 😊
Thank you!! Love watching your channel growth!!
Yes Frederique, more of these videos please! I'm 20 years older than you and haven't done fillers or botox. Is it too late?
As Frédérique suggests, a visit with a dermatologist might help you decide.
I'm 67 and only look cheap stuff for face care. People also think that I'm much younger.
HI love, please seek professional advice! 💗
Talk with a dermatologist that does cosmetic procedures. I actually started doing lip fillers in my mid-fifties! Once I was in my 60s I didn't have them for a long time, but now I am 76 and last year had another filler done for my deep lines above my top lip and the nasolabial folds. It looks terrific and very natural.
Yes, please do a video about dark spots.
I love your videos, thank you!
I will do one! Thank you 🥰
Thank you so much Frederique, you really are a treasure trove. I actually already do most of these things. And it has saved me a lot of money over the years. Lots of ❤️
Thanks my darling xx 🥰
I wish I had had this info when I was working 40+ hours a week! Thanks, So much! 😊💕
Thanks Ann 💗
Have found that proper/consistent Facial EXERCISE, combined with Facial MASSAGE (both DIY) will ELIMINATE the need for botox and fillers. Facial Muscles respond to exercise in EXACTLY the same manner as every other muscle group of the body....and anyone who says differently are not the experts they claim to be, or they're trying to sell you something. Just turned 62, and am frequently 'mistaken' for one in her early 40's. Facial exercises are NOT a 'quick fix'....like all other fitness regimes, they require consistency and patience....but they pay off in SPADES. And TOTALLY agree with you, Frederique, about investing in the BEST (for you) skin care line. The combination of good skin care, facial exercise/massage, and an overall fitness lifestyle renders a glow and firmness to our faces which cannot be replicated by ANY needles, peels, nips, lifts, tucks, etc. And with all the money you've saved, you can snag that Chanel Quilted Envelope bag! LOL
Oscar has such a sweet face 🥰 such a luv! My darling Pug passed in Dec. and I still find myself with tears. Fur kids are such loving companions. And you are beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for such great tips. I am trying to catch up on videos..... been away enjoying life. Thanks again!
I’m so sorry for your loss darling. Lots of love x
@@ms.frederique Thank you for your kindness. 💜
No hair colour. I spend whatever is needed on a good quality shampoo and rinse plus a conditioner for the ends. Even though I have an oily scalp, which means washing my hair every second day, I don’t spend much on these premium products because I buy a large size that lasts almost a year. My hair is a medium length bob, long enough to get off my face by tying back with a hair clip but not so long that I can’t maintain it with just a wash and blow dry. It’s a simple cut so I trim own hair and only visit the hairdresser when it needs shaping, once or twice a year at most. I get a manicure and pedicure twice a year because it makes it easier to maintain my nails between visits.
I stick to simple makeup (lip gloss, blush, eyeshadow, eyebrow pencil, mascara at max) that’s replaced only when I run out, except mascara of course. It’s a mixture of drug store and premium brands that work for me. Skin care is problematic because I have very oily skin and cystic acne. Almost all skin products cause breakouts. I wash three times a day with a tea tree oil cleanser and put Differin on at night. The only sunscreen that doesn’t cause breakouts is zinc. I’ve found a couple of hand and foot lotion products that are on the expensive side (would cost me $40/month to use regularly) that I’ve started using because they work so well.
A lot of my clothing consists of thrifted classics which I update with new clothes from Uniqlo, Levis and Gap. I used to shop at Banana Republic and still go there, as well as L.L. Bean, Athleta and Lululemon, when I can’t find what I want secondhand.
I probably spend less than $150 on skin, hair care, makeup salon visits. My weakness is fashion. Even shopping secondhand I spend too much on clothes. I’m thinking of selling some of the better items that no longer work for me on Poshmark.
Thank you so much for these insights, dear Frédérique🤗! Yes, we need to re-check our spendings😉... Have a great weekend ahead!🌞😘
Thanks Maria 💗
I would also love you to do a video on cost of living alone in an apt on the gold coast. Rent , food etc. I’m always fascinated by the differences from country to country .
Skin care is vitally important but luck plays a part. I've inherited ny grandmother's good skin but I don't take it for granted and am fanatical about nurturing it. I've never been tempted to use Botox etc. but if getting help in that area boosts your confidence and works for you - go ahead! I do spend money on a monthly mani/pedi and eyelash tint. A couple of hours in luxe surroundings with a glass of wine is wonderfully relaxing. I've never gone in for fast fashion: simple, quality, classic, long-lasting clothes enlivened with a stand out accessory works for me.
The value of this video is that it makes you think: some of us will now see that we might economise in an area where others will spend, and vice versa. We're all different! You will have helped people to reassess their priorities - most helpful, Frederique!
Hi !! I really enjoy this type of videos, because sometimes we don’t see “How much spent”.
I prefer to do my manicure, and for the hair I don’t do anything, only ask for my mother to cut it.
Thanks darling xx 🥰
I LOVE your honesty! ❤️
Thanks darling 🥰
Castor oil for eyelashes is cheap and natural. For hair take biotin, iron and folic acid and do a mask for 2 hours before you wash it with live oil, drops of rosemary and clove oil and you can add some castor oil and egg yolks. Wash with lukewarm water. Saved my hair as I was losing hair like crazy at the beginning of this year.
Hi Frederique, I was told that if a garment says dry clean only (P). That means it's hand washable. I had a friend that worked for Howard Showers and she told me.
Great video . Lots of good tips . Also been doing my own manicures and pedicures for years . And stopped dying my hair during the pandemic . Also a big savings 👍🏻
Classic elegance always looks costly even when it is not. I do my own nails and use gloves, too. Oscar returned for a visit to us! I do not use Botox or filler, but constant skin care helps. A good haircut is worth the world, isn't it? I do my own hair coloring. I am fairly frugal, prudent about having too much stuff or over-spending on things. Some things tempt me.
Great video - thanks for the honesty!
Thanks love! 🥰
I love this, beautiful! I am so happy to hear it coming from you to look good, it doesnt have to cost a bomb! Cheers to mindful spending❤🌹
Thanks love xx 🥰
That was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Informative and Helpful ... And Honest ... I have applied the same Rules to my lifestyle this year.!!!
I, like you, am obsessed with Skin Products, and have accumulated so much, which I am determined to get through ... 😁
I also do Non Invasive Procedures because it makes me feel good and youthful, and I make no apology for it also ... I am 61 and looking younger actually makes me feel younger, and I behave younger .... I believe they are all linked ... 🤗🤗🤗
Love you Chérie ...
Stay as you are ...!!! 💖💖💖
Thanks love! 🥰
Yes a capsule wardrobe! I've had my black blazer forever!!
Great video! Thank you, Frederique! ❤️ I find that skincare is so important, but except for vitamin C, which is the only ingrediant that is difficult to find in effective products that are not expensive, I find that most skincare can be drugstore and still do the job perfectly. I use prescription Tretinoin, acid exfoliators, vitamin C, niacinamide, squaline oil, peptides, hydrating serumes, moisturizers with ceramides and glycerin, and I double cleanse. The ONLY thing that is rather expensive is my vitamin C serum. The rest are very budgetfriendly, but just as effective as the high end products I used to buy. Lots of money can be saved by switching to drugstore products when it comes to skincare.
I used to go to manicure/pedicure, beautician etc regularly in my home country Latvia. Great quality and affordable. Since I moved to Australia, in the beginning I tried to do the same. Impossible if you aren't crazy rich. Nowadays I do everything myself at home. Even hair colour. Except haircut 😄. I have great Italian hairdresser and he always praises my mastery of hair colouring.
Yes I do miss very much hands of my beautician but well - I do masking 😅 very often and trendy Gua Sha self facial and neck massage.
And quality over quantity and sale and discounts when it comes to clothes and shoes.
Do whatever makes you happy and confident!!! I totally agree with the low or no buy makeup, clothes etc, We have already enough, stuffed in our wardrobe. It's about time we do something great with them. And we need you to help us!!!
Love this!!! I’m just getting into the laser/Botox game. I’ve had my first laser this week to deal with rosacea. A couple of weeks I’ll have my first Botox. I do get my nails and hair done. I would love to stop the nails but they’re so thin after having them done all the time. My hair is highlighted because of all the grey. But again super damaged. I’m 41. Love your video. I literally watch everything you put out.
Thank you so much love, means a lot 💗
I've always had thin delicate nails, & taking calcium tablets improved them a lot (taken for bone density). Any nail polish product at all seems to damage my nails, so I simply file and gently buff them & keep them clean. Considering I'm in my early 60s, I'm quite pleased with how my hands look. I also put sunscreen on them.
I stopped colouring my hair as I suddenly felt it was all too toxic. Luckily it's a silvery colour so with a decent cut, looks pretty. I think the secret to grey hair is an excellent cut & a style that suits our face, body and hair, and good condition.
I haven't needed to even use conditioner on my hair since I stopped colouring.
Thank you for this video. I've actually returned some fast fashion stuff to the shops and will only endeavour to buy good timeless pieces that will last and not go out of fashion. Love all your money saving tips. I'm 57 and have never reconsidered botox. I'm lucky I have good skin inherited from my dear mother. Your skin does look fabulous so I may try a dermatologist one day soon..keeeeep posting 🥰❤
Thank you my darling xx 🥰
I have been doing an at-home gel manicure for a few months. I'm surprised how much better I am at putting on gel nail polish on my non-dominat hand than with regular nail polish. Meaning, my gel manicure looks great!
I use the Orly brand with their mini lamp. For what I would pay for, maybe, 2 gel manis at the salon, I can get the kit.
Unless, I want to pamper myself to a pedicure, I am not stepping back into a nail salon again.
This is my biggest tip for 2022 so far!
Frederique, a very inspiring video, and Iʻm going to challenge you even further. I work in a community college where my job is to connect students to the resources they need, whether on campus or in the community. Many, MANY of the students here are food insecure (i.e., hungry), housing insecure (i.e., way too many are homeless or couch-surfing), and are really stressed to survive while studying to succeed in college. Yet these students, male AND female, want to look good, especially now that weʻre just this term getting back to campus. Weʻve been online for two years and itʻs taking a minute to adjust to walking around campus WITH other people!
What kinds of tips and tricks do you have for people for whom spending $7,000 a year -- that means tuition. That means food. That means rent. (Rent here for a one-room apartment is, can you believe it, $1600 a month!!!) It does not mean, really, honestly, any of the things you talked about.
How can a gal spend $20 a month "on beauty" and look amazing? How can a guy spend $20 a month "on good looks" in a way that will make him feel fantastic?
Thatʻs real life in southern Oregon today.
Students...AND those of us who are inspired to help them. All of us. We donʻt have buckets of money to spend on ourselves.
Retinol/retinoid + sunscreen are the biggest bang for your buck in terms of skincare. The Ordinary has high quality active ingredients at affordable price points - their Granactive Retinoid is great. Drugstore moisturizer such as Cerave (can use on face and body) is recd by many dermatologists. When you take care of your skin you don’t need much makeup.
Thanks for the info! I think it's important to learn how to shop properly so you make the most of your money (body shape, skin tone, height, etc.) while also keeping things such as quality, animal cruelty, plastic, pollution and climate in mind. For instance, it's very difficult to find flattering and neutral pieces in fast fashion, but some do exist for cheaper than higher-end garments, and if I take care of them by washing cold and hang drying, they should last a long time. I won't buy silk or cashmere because of the animal cruelty involved. Silk worms are boiled alive and a thousand are needed to make a single garment. It is terrible for the environment. Cashmere is also oftentimes cruel to the Kashmir goats - please do your research on that entire industry before making a purchase. While polyester and other synthetic fabrics are plastics and can contain chemicals, I would much rather invest in some quality pieces composed of that material (of course I prefer organic cotton and linen as much as possible) since they will last a long time without deteriorating. That's why it's terrible when they end up in landfills, so please be careful with what you purchase!
Yes please on video for better looking hands. Great job as usual.
Sure thing and thank you 💗
To clean blazer use sponge to sponge down with teaspoon of wash liquid hang up and dry wash liquid for clothes
I always do my own nails, too, and only use clear polish. I tried eyelash extensions and they were incredibly irritating. I seemed to rub my eyes when asleep, because many had fallen out overnight. I wear mascara when I want to show my skimpy lashes more.
I see a lot of people going overboard with extensions that look so false. Many, many years ago I tried the old style false eyelashes and everyone thought they were real. This has me wondering if it’s the extensions or the way they’re applied.
Good on you Kim! 🥰
When my full lips seemed smaller, I realised it was because I was pinching in the muscles around my mouth - I now do a few exercises & thst fixed it. Same for frown lines - concentrated on using the muscles to eliminate & kept smooth into my early 60s.
I just use lip liner & foundation to minimise fine lines around the lips.
I think Botox interferes with using face muscles & as we age, we need to exercise our muscles more, not immobilise them.
I think fillers causes loose skin. So many women in my area have strange, indistinct lips - I am assuming because they used fillers a lot & gave them up at 55 plus.
I have rapidly aged in my early 60s. Am not too bothered, I mean in 6 years I'll be 70, it's a lost cause. I am focussing on hobbies, minding my money, enjoying life & having goals.
I still like to look pleasant for others to look at though, so I do make some effort. I am enjoying homing in on the personal style I like, but being petite & pale, it's hard to find clothing that's right for me in Australia.
I may look at some skin treatments in the next few years, for the pigmentation etc.
I take excellent care of my nails & hair myself with simple inexpensive ways that are less damaging than commerical treatments. I get my teeth cleaned and checked annually. I minimise sun exposure. I need to do strength building exercise more.
Thanks for your insights and advice and sharing.
No hair cuts - cut my own . Or colours- silver fox. Always get compliments on my skin - use any old moisturiser. Clothes - like you ongoing capsule. Make up - have my basic supermarket stuff and a Chanel eyecrayon and their light foundation for special occasions.Short, clean unpolished nails. Sport - walking and running. Seriously my budget is about 300 euros a year. I'm 59. I have been tempted by eyebrow microblading tho - every girl has got a weakness!!
You go girl!
I have always done my own manicures and 5 years ago I stopped coloring my hair. That was a big cost saving every 3 weeks at the salon. The money that I saved I started upping my game of good quality skincare. I am 62 and have never been to see a dermatologists maybe a little filler someday.
Hello Frederique, love your videos. I was also hoping for a fragrance to be included in How to look (smell) expensive? I love perfumes, so may this could be an idea for next video? Thank you.
Bonjour Frederique! I think my biggest expense is skin care which is about $200 but it lasts me all year. Mascara I replace regularly. Hair color I do myself. I haven't had a haircut in years. I just let my hair grow. I do my own manicures and pedicures. I don't have designer bags. Most of my clothes are decades old but stylish. I guess I'm just frugal, because I watch what I spend. Keep on making videos. You're so beautiful and fun! 🥰 XOXO
I've thought you hair color is done professionally 🤩 it's amazing you dye it by yourself, me too.
Thank you! 🥰
@@ms.frederique 💗
Hi Frederique
Yes, please tell us more about IPL!
Thank you!
Sure thing!
New subscriber , I’m looking for help ! I’ve lost 107lbs and i used to dress to just cover myself now i don’t and have no idea 🤷🏻♀️ what style i am , i live in NY , so many great styles and fashion but i haven’t really found one yet that is perfect for me . I’ll have to binge watch you videos 🥰
I am I interested to see a video re pigmentation...and to know more. Also other treatments like fillers etc. Thanks.
So good to learn about other people's spending habits and priorities.. puts mine into perspective.. I am 51.. never tried injectables but could consider them. Thanks and yes, more videos are always welcome! 🌷
Yes I’ve been looking into IPL. Please incorporate that in a video. Your experience, thoughts, etc ….. 😃
Sure thing! 💗
You are absolutely allowed to spend your money on your appearance...it's your money you have earned and if it contributes to making you feel confident/happy then why not. I'm 38 and considering botox as my face is starting to droop (thanks gravity!)
Love this type of video!! Can you talk a little bit more on IPL treatment? Love all of your suggestions on saving money and choosing better quality in clothes!
I did like this video it's a reminder to evaluate your beauty budget 😍
Thank you.
Thanks love!
I know I can't fallow everything you have done but, yes I would like to hear about your skin care.
Very honest as always, 😘
I am just 47! I've never used make up I mean tinted things for Face e.g. foundation, shadows etc. I only wear Eyeliners and Lip balm. I get confused if I should start thinking about preventing botox on my forehead! I've asked A therapist, I go to her for a weekly LED light therapy.
I've never done any other facial or face treatments. I use Hyaluronic serum, Vic Serum and Sunscreen if I go out in daylight. Eyelash serum sounds great!! As we age they may fall out 😑 if I don't look after now!
Great idea to start on a smaller budget!!! I wish I would bump onto You in Sydney one day 😍😍😍
Thank you for the content. One question, what eyelash serum do you use? And what does it do?
It’s a vegan eye serum
Chère Fréderique, je suis absolutement d'accord avec tout ce que tu as dit sur Botox etcetera. Excuse mon Francais, je suis demi-Suisse demi-Italienne. J-adore ton Blog. 👍 Je te souhaite un bon Weekend, Edith de Zurich
Pas de problems avec ton français et merci bisous x
Try Frederique using argon oil instead of moysterizer works
I use both very dry skin x
Such a wonderful video. So true. You are an inspiration. Luv that you are you and make no excuses. I think we should do what makes us feel great. If you want fillers, botox, etc., then so be it. Don't know what the fuss is about, except perhaps those that are dishonest about using them. 🤔Such a shame that some people purchase lux items to prove something to others. If you want lux, buy lux (just don't go into debt for it), if you want drugstore, buy drugstore. I do what works for me. If others don't like it, that is their issue. We have nothing to prove to anyone. Be yourself. Thank you for sharing Frédérique. 🌺
Thank you for your kind comment merci 🙏 xx
You look great 😊 ! Could you show how you do your manicure 💅🏻 ?
Will do a video soon! Thanks
Yes please, discuss treatment for dark spots.
Video about skincare please xx
Will do one soon, thanks 🥰
Great video!! Thanks so much . I definitely don’t buy a lot of makeup anymore except for mascara as you elegantly stated. 💕
The item you were referring to remove little fibers or balls from clothing is called a “ lint roller”
Or a 'Sweater comb' to remove those little fiber pills from our wool/cashmere items. 😊
A lint roller is for removing dust and pet fur, she is talking about a sweater shaver. It removes the pilling from garments.
My kind of girl. Love these tips!!
Great video❣️ I couldn’t find the eyelash/brow serum in your Amazon store or video description….please share! Thanks‼️❤️ I’m stopping Fast everything! No more cheap clothes, furniture, housewares…..only top quality or using my special things every day….so much happier❤️❣️
Love, love your pup!!!
I am 19 and I am watching this because I am a broke college student 💀but really helpful tips still especially the escaping fast fashion part. Thank you, Frédérique. ❤️
Thank you. Please video about the IPL for the hands and face! I was scheduled and paid to have 3 treatments my face then pandemic came and all was cancelled, my esthetician suggested I start tretinoin and that's what I am still on and will continue .
A visit is overdue and thanks to you I am scheduling!!!! Cheers
Just reported (to RUclips) the unwanted spam comments (& fake replies) about crypto currencies inc. bitcoin etc., which are not relevant to Frédérique's channel.
👱♀️❤
Thank you so much! It annoys me tbh. I appreciate it 💗
Thank you! So many good ideas 😍
A kind and informative video. Only one difference of opinion. Aging is inevitable, and rather than look as if I am not aging, I would rather spend more money on skincare and make up which is formulated for older skins (loss of pigmentation, fine lines and drier skin) than use make up which is formulated for younger skins and use botox to give the illusion my skin is not aging. Every day I put on serum then day cream, every evening I use eye cream and night cream, during the week I exfoliate my face once, and use a hydrating mask once, dialy hydrating hand cream - every thing I use is formulated for older skin.
Thank you for your honesty, Frederique, you're very inspiring! Please do video for your hands spots treatment ❤❤
Merci lovely 🥰
I see nothing wrong with your botox regime, nothing outrageous and nothing extreme.
Nice earrings! I have a similar set in Gold.
💗
Please make a review video about your treatments!!!!
Great video as usual, and you look fabulous 🤩
Thanks love 🥰
Goodness! I've found it impossible to do personal manicure/pedicures without injuries and a mess all over the place. It's my one essential bit of salon maintenance other than biannual haircuts. These days I also pass on getting a massage in favor of chiropractor adjustments which are less costly and more beneficial in the long run. I've never skimped on skin care but thanks to RUclips's Angie at Hot & Flashy I have an outstanding collection of reasonably-priced products that do a great job for me and are refillable for around $300/year with the occasional makeup splurge here and there. I do understand the urge for chemical fillers, Botox, etc. and had it done in my forties and early 50's but the difference didn't justify the little bit of improvement that I could see (no one else ever did) so here I am in my 60's and it's off the the nail salon for me 😉. I also took the opportunity to go silver in 2021 - I like it and the cost savings is astounding! Thanks for your openness in sharing your journey as well, Frederique.
Here's a tip for you Frederique... I used a eyelash serum to make my eyelashes grow longer. It worked well but it changed the colour of my skin right above my eyelashes so I stopped using it and eventually my eyelashes were sparse again. So I started using a small drop of castor oil on my brows and lashes every night and that works great. Nice full lashes and brows again. For PENNIES!
Great advice as always Frederique. And just think how much you have saved and how much better you look and feel for having given up smoking a few years back- the best cut of all one can make for looking great. 🤗❤️
Merci lovely 🥰
Agree totally with all your tips...and already do the majority of them....please would you share with us the brand of eyelash serum you use.....am curious. Merci beaucoup, Frederique!
L'oreal no longer takes on my hair so I switched to Henna which I can apply as often as I like and the price is usually better. I also don't do my nails often. I've cut down on makeup as well. I purged what I didnt use and its more manageable. I wash silks by hand. I dont do dry cleaning, I don't like what the fibres feel like or smell like when its done. I do not do Botox or Fillers. Not for me. Its an excellent idea to look at your budget and understand what and where you are spending.
You’re absolutely honestly is very refreshing 😁💯
That is very kind of you thank you 😊
