About me

Gender	FEMALE
Location	San Diego, CA
Introduction	Hi! I'm G. and my blog, Nouveau Cheap, is devoted to helping you find the best beauty products possible without breaking the bank. I'm a consumer with three decades of product obsession under my belt and love to scour the drugstores, dollar stores, big box stores, etc. to find quality beauty products with friendly price tags. I try to provide my readers with as much info as possible so that they can make an informed decision when they make a purchase. If you are a PR rep who would like me to review a product, please email me at nouveaucheap@gmail.com. If you are a READER who would like to submit info/pics/scoop about a new drugstore product, PLEASE first do a quick search on my blog to make sure I haven't already blogged about the item, then email me at nouveaucheap@gmail.com. My other blog, Nouveau Sweet, is just a fun place for me to share non-beauty-related info.
