Do you feel price correlates to quality?

Do you feel price correlates to quality?

At this point, my experience says not so much when it comes to quality of the product itself. The packaging is likely better in some aspect: more complex/interesting/different, sturdier, and/or heavier, but the actual product? Could be total garbage or a new holy grail.

What has your beauty purchasing looked like so far this year?
