What is the most expensive beauty product you’ve bought? What made you shell out the big bucks for it? Was it worth it?
I think my Sephora haul from a few days ago was my most expensive – the Givenchy diamond powder, which I haven’t received yet, so I don’t know! I have bought Dior Addict perfume, which was lovely and worth every penny!

The MAC Barbie collection…I bought 2-4 of everything. And I LOVE all of it. My favorite colors ever!
Wowww! I thought I was really into the collection, too, but I ended up swapping away a lot of it! What is your favorite product from it?
Real Doll lipstick, Don’t be Shy blush (light handed of course) & Moth Brown eyeshadow. Did you just get tired of the colors?
I just found myself not reaching for most of it after I bought it. I still have Don’t Be Shy, though!
I would have to confess to just shelling out the $45 for the MAC 182 – Kabuki brush from my most recent haul. I have yet to give it a bath but I did love the way it felt when I tried it at the store the other day. VERY soft and the finish is smooth and flawless.
Ohh, I think the 182 is DEFINITELY worth the price, Mrs. Lynne! I really do adore that brush; so much in fact, I have two!
I agree! I live in Canada, and the 182 costs $55 here…that was so hard to buy but so worth it!!!
$100 on a dior flight palette
WHEW! And I thought my YSL palette lemming ($67) was rough! Do you love the palette, though?
Yep!! I adore it =)
since i’m just a student my allowance can buy me olay total effects moisturizer for $12. it’s an investment. it’s an anti aging and it makes my skin glow!
Definitely! I love Olay’s facial moisturizer with SPF15. It’s a great bargain beauty buy!
Probably my luxe makeup splurges- the ysl holiday lipsticks, guerlain meteorites and gold shimmer dust, and givenchy diamond dust and lash sparkles. So gorgeous i can’t stand it all!
Ohh, Adina! I am jealous 🙂 So many of those are on my “if only” list!
It’s going to be the Chanel Palette (the $85.00). And um, I think I’m gonna buy it when we go to Nordsdtrom on Saturday at the crack o’ dawn (this is your offical date reminder!).
I should call and see if there is a YSL counter… I have no idea where my nearest YSL counter is, to be honest.
Thank you for the reminder, my friend!
The most I ever paid for a single beauty item was my MaxiGlide straightner for a little over a hundred-so worth it!
But cosmeticwise- My 182! again, so worth it.
Whew!! I’m a hair dummy, which might be a good thing at this point so I can avoid straightener prices!
Chanel palette and YSL palette, and once I did the whole custom blend at prescriptives and that was alot too.
but i love them all!
I’m glad you love them all! I want to do the custom blend at Prescriptives!
I spend too much on everything LOL
Hun would love to hear your thoughts on the diamond powder when you get it as its one Ive been lusting over!!
Will do! You can trust that I will make a full report!
I would have to say the 300 for the M.A.C case…
Wow!! I could never bring myself to buy a MAC traincase, just soo expensive.
Though it wasn’t really a “product” but the 800$ I forked over for the laser peel thingy for my face was quite a splurge in the name of beauty and the Dr suggested I have three of them to totally erase any and all imperfections (acne scars) I will say that I have seen an amazing difference just with the one.
Wow!! That is a pricey facial treatment. Will you be getting the other two treatments or are you going to stick with one?
LOL well since it was about as freakn painful as childbirth I think I need a few more months to totally forget the pain level and then maybe I will do one more. Actualy for sure I think I will do one more…but OMG did it hurt. Its the most painful laser process on the market because it goes in quite deep vs a photofacial which is much more topical and thus much less painful.
LOL! Good luck, Tanya!
That would be this year,end of July,in Ottawa.Went to the Bay and spent roughly close to 600$ within 30 min.on MAC only (Chanel happened later that day,in downtown,but that was NOTHING comparing to MAC – lol).My husband has said only that I must have made this person(meaning the sales person) very happy lol,lol,lol.I don’t know…maybe 😉
Wow!!! I’m so jealous – ohh, what it’d be like to drop that much at once! Fun 😀
My YSL Palettes are worth it, i love them
Yay! Have you gotten the “White Gold” celebration palette for this year? Or know anything about it?
I havent gotten it yet, but im debating whether to get it, when i hit saks this weekend…its too gorgeous
PLEASE let me know what you think!!
Bare Escentuals rare minerals skin revival treatment for $60 after hearing so much about it i had to try it.
How did you like it, Lisa?
Just been using it for a week now and already ive have started to see less visible pores and clearer skin. I definietly am seeing an improvement in my skin. I usually moisturize and wait 15 minutes then apply it. I hear the sponge puff falls apart after a few uses i personally use a brush tho. This is definietly a keeper for me.
Awesome, Lisa! I hope it works out for you 😀
The most I paid for was a mac haul after christmas last year[when i first started wearing it]. It was 145.32. But the most my step dad paid was for moonbathe & c-shock it was about 260.
Not too bad, Ashlee 🙂 Very controlled!
Most recently it was the Bobbi Brown Pink Quartz Shimmerbrick.
How do you like it, Kyle?
an Estée Lauder cream fop strech marks,it was around $120. and i bought it twice. i did not work 😀
i also got a limited edition Escada Parfume for a Christmas,i don’t konow exactly how much did it cost,but is got to be expensive…
Wow! That sucks that it did not work 🙁
Guerlain Meteorites Voyage Deluxe for 695 Saudi Riyals… a whooping $185, yep make up products here in saudi is way too expensive! i love it, but sometimes i just can’t make myself use it because of the price lol! and to think i don’t even wear makeup most of the time (i’m a stay-at-home momma)…i love my EL IDEALIST skin refinisher which i’ve been using for the last 2 years already(4 30ml bottles) and EL IDEALIST Micro-D…
Can you provide more information on this? i have read other websites that are on similar subjects.
