Beauty Budget Breakdown: Patti gets a $100 facial every other month and a $120 hair cut and dye every two months. She spends about $50 on organic makeup and beauty products and $1,000 a year on Botox injections.
Why: Patti says that she's fairly low-maintenance compared to most women her age with similar incomes. "I don't get manicures or pedicures, and I've never had plastic surgery. I think I have to do the things I do in order to maintain a professional image in my line of work," she explains.
