Beauty buys worth the splurge


These days, no one we know is rolling in dough – but as every true beauty junkie knows, the best makeup, hair, and skin products are priceless. From a $40 eyeshadow wand to a body cream worth one night’s stay at the W (don’t judge us), these pricey products are worth every penny! Splurge, girl, splurge.

Original Skin

Makeup artists are obsessed with this lightweight foundation because A.) it seamlessly blends into moisturized skin, and B.) the shade range is seriously comprehensive (the darkest skin tones are represented – finally!).

Kiss My Lash

No reason to live with lackluster lashes, ladies. This award-winning lengthening serum is spiked with amino acids and biotin – both of which jump start hair growth and makes lashes look fuller, thicker, and more voluminous than ever. Truly not in the budget? Ask him for a “just ‘cause I love you” gift…

Pucker Up

This palette is the perfect size for office desks, gym lockers, “walk of shame” clutches – and the five hues (a range of come-hither crimsons and festive fuchsias) are non-sticky and gloriously long-lasting.

Body Beautiful

It’s a travesty to pay three hundred big ones for a body lotion, but this one’s the exception. The dream cream is spiked with high-level botanicals that prevent sagging, boost elasticity, and leave your skin looking more taut and youthful than it did at eighteen years old! Treat yourself.

Walk the Line

Creamy of texture, rich of pigment – this all-eyes-on-me shadow is so stunning we’d pay twice as much to own it. Did we mention that it’s blended with eyelid-lifting Tahitian Black Pearl?

Flirty Flush

If your signature look involves a lying-in-the-afterglow flush, you’ll live for this buildable, water-based cheek color. The pop of color it provides is at once utterly natural-looking and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition-sensual.

The Peel Thing

Acne scars? Random dark spots? These alpha and beta hydroxy-soaked towelettes exfoliate, brighten, and even-out skin in a major way. Super expensive for a reason.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Extra Strength Alpha Beta Peel Packettes, $88; Yahoo! Shopping.


Bronze Goddess

During a heat wave, there are a few things more important than ensuring that your bronzer doesn’t streak with sweat! This mist gives skin and body an airbrushed kiss of sun that stays put for hours. Make out, work out, pass out – it won’t budge.
