90 Day FiancéstarJasmine Pinedais expecting a baby with her partner, Matt Branis, and while she shows off her radiant “expectant mommy glow,” she’s also sharing a little darkness,by getting real about financial concerns. Jasmine, a bold and beautiful Leo woman, isn’t exactly shy, but a recent post about a shopping spree at a dollar store seemed remarkably candid, even for her. Since it was easy to perceiveJasmine as a gold diggerwhile she was hitting up Gino Palazzolo for money during their marriage, the “new” Jasmine, with her down-to-earth financial concerns, may be more relatable.
Jasmine and frugality don’t always seem to go together. She’s often dressed to the nines, in high glam that looks expensive. She’s been open about the costly procedures she has to feel her best. In fact,Jasmine spent $841 on a microneedling machine, but explained that she would save money over time because she wouldn’t need to go to salons for the micro-needling treatments. Nonetheless, she seemed to embrace a Hollywood-style self-care routine that appeared to be a real investment. Now, she’s waiting to become a mother for the third time, and she’s got money on her mind.
There’s Nothing Wrong With Shopping At A Dollar Store
Some Of The Stuff She Bought Looked Fun
ViaJasmineatTikTok, the90 Day Fiancéfranchise queen shared a post that was incredibly relatable. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with her connecting with fans. In fact, i love it. As she opened a cheap plastic bag and showed off her finds, I’ve never felt so close to her. Jasmine doesn’t have a lot of cash right now, and who hasn’t been in the same boat at some point? She’s willing to share her dollar store beauty haul with everyone, and I’m here for it.I mean, really here for it.
In fact, I paused her video clip just to make sure I could clearly see every single thing she bought. Who doesn’t love this stuff? Sure, it’s dollar store items, but they’re fun.
Getting glam on a budget is something that Jasmine, who says she’s broke, has apparently mastered. Sometimes, the upscale products at big retail chains like Sephora can be a little pricey.Jasmine found dupes for rock-bottom prices.Curious about her beauty finds, I’ve compiled a list of what she bought. I personally found this post refreshing because she was really getting real, and because packing a handcart with super-cheap beauty items is something I too have done. Here is what she bought:
The thing is, I couldn’t rock those press-on-nails the way that Jasmine does. She is just so able to rock almost anything, from skintight hot pants to wild animal-print sweaters to patent leather knee-length boots with stiletto heels. The Leo in her means that standing out feels more comfortable than blending in.The only “blending in” I want Jasmine to do is with a Beauty Blender, or a much cheaper drugstore or dollar store dupe!Don’t change, Jasmine - we love you just the way you are…
Most fans likedthe charming influencer Jasmine’s post just as much as I did. In fact, it was a great way to win followers over. Sharing her beauty picks helped to start a conversation. One fan said:
Thank you for making us regular ladies feel good too for being broke haha love you so much
Are Jasmine’s Money Problems Really Serious?
What We Know So Far
On a more serious note,Jasminecomplained about a close call with her credit card. Apparently, someone attempted to use her credit card after stealing her data. However, the bank stopped the charges. She said, via Instagram Stories, thatshe wasn’t exactly the right target for that kind of scam. She believes that"invisible"devices were used to steal her credit card information while she was shopping at a bricks-and-mortar retail outlet. Jasmine added:
“Especially to me, like I don’t have that much money. Why are you trying to steal it from me?”
Jasmine used to be a teacher in Panama, and she recently had a deportation scare. Back in her native country, Jasmine had a regular job,but fate pulled her towards Gino, whom she got acquainted with at a Sugar Baby website. She was looking for a man who would be generous, and Gino may have passed himself off as being more affluent than he really was. While she had her income, she appeared to be looking for a different lifestyle.
Life in America can be expensive. Plus Jasmine, who had to stop teaching after Gino leaked her nudes and her boss found out about it, has expressed a lot of frustration about her situation. In her financial life, there have been real challenges. Jasmine once said, via Stories:
“I don’t have a work permit. I can’t withdraw money from OnlyFans til I have a residence and I haven’t received child support in 3 years. Happy now?”
It’s not like she doesn’t have ways to make money - it’s just that she has trouble accessing what she makes. Maybe her boyfriend is helping her for the time being. I feel like Jasmine has a lot of earning potential - she’s already drummed up cash at OnlyFans and Cameo. She’s glam enough to make money as a model, although she might not be right for certain types of modeling, including high-fashion editorial work. That being said, the modeling industry has changed a lot, making room for curvier bodies.
Hopefully, in the future, the90 Day Fiancéstar will have all the money she needs. She’s in the public eye, entertaining everyone, and financial security would ease her mind. With a baby on the way, it’s only natural that she’s thinking about her financial life, and cutting corners by opting for budget beauty picks. She looks gorgeous during this special time in her life, and her baby’s bound to be adorable. With Matt, Jasmine seems happier - she just needs some more income to complete the happy picture that is her post-Gino life.
