French with Flair

The French are well-known for beauty and style. Unfortunately, most of those French beauty products come with hefty price tags. Here are some affordable alternatives.

"French companies have long had a reputation for having really great beauty products, really cutting edge, that deliver results," says salon owner Rachel Gower.

However, she adds that you can get the same results for a fraction of the French price.
