The Urge to Splurge - When to Resist
Skincare
Sunscreen: Save
If you use sunscreen as often as you should, you’re going through a lot of it, so it’s best to keep it cheap.Facial Brush: Splurge
A sonic facial cleanser is the fastest route to complexion perfection, so treating yourself to a luxurious version like the LUNA 2 is a definite yes. For those with champagne taste on a beer budget, the LUNA play range has all the same benefits for less than your weekly Starbucks tab.Moisturizer: Save
Moisturizing is an important step in the process of maintaining your skin. But unless yours is very sensitive or very dry, you’ll be just fine using a drugstore moisturizer.Body Lotion: Save
No matter how much you want that chocolate souffle-scented body butter, it probably won’t hydrate your skin any better than the drugstore brand lotion. Alternatively, you can get major moisture without any chemicals & save a couple bucks with a natural oil, like coconut.Serum: Splurge
Do you layer your skincare products? If you don’t, you should. And if you do, a serum is the first step. It’s what your skin will absorb the most of, so make sure to get some high-quality youth juice.Cosmetics
Mascara: Save
Spoiler alert: there’s not much difference between high-end formulas and discount makeup when it comes to mascara. And since you need to replace them at least every 3 months, an affordable brand is the way to go. L’Oreal Voluminous is a personal fave and a steal at only $8.Foundation: Splurge
When it comes to foundation, you definitely get what you pay for. Finding a formula that won’t make you break out or end up looking like an Oompa Loompa will require spending a bit more, but having a flawless base is worth every penny.Hair Care
