Unlike splurging on yet another pair of shoes, shopping for our beauty essentials, from skincare to makeup and haircare, feels, well, essential.
While some may argue (not us) that our 12-step skincare routines could be simplified, basics like cleansers, moisturisers, and SPF are non-negotiables. And then, of course, comes the haircare, beauty tools, and body products. Looking good doesn’t come cheap!
If you ask us, it’s money well spent, even more so if you manage to nab a bargain when your favourite beauty products go on sale.
