Beauty budget!

If you're spending your own money, go for it! Do whatever makes you feel good I'm probably going to be getting my haircut for about $70 and spending around $100 to get a leg/eyebrow wax (but I obviously get my haircut anyway and I already have waxing appointments once a month so those things aren't really "extra" for me) and then I am splurging on a gel manicure for about $50 because I want it to last throughout the honeymoon too. I felt a little guilty about that but I NEVER get my nails done, so it'll be a nice treat!

I lucked out that one of my bridesmaids is a professional hair stylist and makeup artist. I'd be spending a lot more if I didn't have her!

Enjoy it girl! No shame in wanting to be pampered if you can afford it. I spent $100 on tanning, $50 on my hair cut (no color), and $50 on my waxing. My mom paid for my mani/pedi but that would have been an extra $70. My hair and makeup day of cost $420 (including tip) so I totally understand the splurge!

I'll be spending about $16 a month on a gym membership to work out and tan for free. Probably get in the tanning bed once a week for 2-3 months leading up to the wedding.

My nails will be about $100 for fingers and toes!

I also plan to get lash extensions instead of messing around with fake lashes. This will be about $160.

Skipping the massage and waiting to get one on the honeymoon! Also skipping a facial because I have very clear skin and I don't want to do any kind of facial that will make it break out or "disrupt" it.

So basically tan, nails, lashes for me!

Amelia, I don't think $600 is too much at all! Most couples spend between $150-600 on beauty for the big day! I will be doing the same thing as you for my big day, I already love pampering myself (waxing, nails, etc) so I already know I need to budget for that! Are you doing spray tanning or in the beds? We have a great cost guide on hair and makeup that I thought I would link below for you, it has the averages and more info on it!

Wedding Hair and Makeup Cost guide

Hair & Makeup on our wedding day for me is $210. Starting 6 months prior, I'll get monthly facials from $90-$150. I use ovation cell therapy on my hair ($50 a month for 10 months, not including leave in conditioners or masks) and bought 2 silk pillowcases ($20 each). I'll get my nails done, $50, my toenails done, $30. I'll tan for the month prior, $70 (not including tanning lotion, probably another $50). I'm considering getting a lash tint & lift (I don't like extensions), $100. And I'm getting hair extensions, $200. That doesn't include my hair cuts, other at home skin products or hair products. We are also getting a couple's massage 2 days before the wedding. So for the final 10 months of our engagement, I'll spend at minimum $1,250. That doesn't include the fitness classes I'm doing or the fact I get my nails done monthly anyway. I think it really just depends on what you want to do, and if you can afford it. If you can, go for it!
