It's not every day you get to save up enough money to be able to splurge on anything, but when you do, you may be overwhelmed with the variety out there - particularly when it comes to makeup!

As with any industry, there are products that it's better to save on and products that it's okay to splurge on - the same goes for the makeup industry as well! Rather than spending more than you bargained for on luxury makeup products you don't need, you need to figure out what exactly is worth breaking your bank for!

As a general rule, keep in mind that any product that'll drain in the sink within a month isn't worth splurging on, no matter what that is. The last thing you want is to spend a pretty penny over something that doesn't last more than a couple of weeks.

There is no shortage of the amount of luxury makeup and skincare brands out there, and when you look it up, you'll be spoiled for choice. Here's where the problem arises: how do you know which are worth spending a lot of money on? Luckily for you, here is a guide to makeup, skincare, and hair products that are definitely worth the splurge!

KIEHL'S Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate

Are you prone to dry skin in cold weather? KIEHL'S Serum is the perfect item for you! The formula contains plant-based ingredients that give a very light and refreshing feeling and hydrate and smooth out your skin - no more dry patches on your skin in the winter. You don't even need to wait for it to work its magic - you can see the results instantly after application.

Sunday Riley's C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C +Turmeric Face Oil

Although face oils tend to be the last step in most beauty routines, Sunday Riley's Face Oil is unique - it's designed to be applied before the moisturizer rather than towards the end. The Vitamin C in the Oil is essential for healthy and glowing skin - it absorbs instantly, so you don't need to worry about waiting too long.

NARS Matte Multiple Stick in "Laos"

Truly, no makeup look is complete without a swipe of lipstick. NARS has got you covered! Not only does it function as your regular lipstick, but you can also use it as a cream blush for that much-needed extra color! Sure, there are many multipurpose lipsticks out there, but NARS' lipstick even works as an eyeshadow in a pinch!

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eyeshadow Palette

This one's a lot more on the pricier side, but every single cent spent on this is worth it! The neutral colors, along with the shimmery gold, are perfect for your everyday look. If you are sick of wearing vibrant colors every day, this is the palette to splurge on. It seems bland at first, but there is truly no limit to what look you can fashion from a simple four colors.

Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer

Bronzers tend to live a pretty short life, and that's why finding a good one is a problem for many. With the Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer, you won't need to worry about that one bit. Rather than getting suntanned (or sunburnt!), you can apply this bronzer and end up with a warm and glowing final look - all from the comfort of your own home.

Dyson AirWrap Styler Collection

Hair products are never one to save on - you want them to be multifunctional and of incredible quality, rather than cheap and disposable. The Dyson AirWrap Collection is exactly that - a high-tech gadget with around seven attachments that will replace your bulky collection of tools. Besides being an all-in-one product, the producer uses air rather than high heat, so you won't need to fret over your hair getting burnt either!

Christophe Robin Shade Variation Mask

With the pandemic upon us, it's doubtful that you will be able to pop by your go-to salon and get your hair dyed again. In that case, maintaining your perfect hair color at home is essential, and Christophe's Robin Shade Variation Mask is excellent for that. You have not just one but five different options for your hair color.

GoopGlow Overnight Glow Peel

At-home facials are all the rage these days. It's the perfect self-care activity: putting on your favorite playlist, lighting a couple of scented candles, and applying your new face mask. You can apply the GoopGlow Peel Pad over your entire face - it exfoliates your skin and leaves your face with a morning glow few other products will be able to replicate! You'll be able to relax fully and get smooth and silky skin in the process.

Farmacy Honey Potion Mask

Speaking of face masks, you can't go without considering the Farmacy Honey Potion Mask. It's luxurious (in terms of price and quality), and it leaves your skin rejuvenated and hydrated. The best part? It's made of honey, so you'll be mindful of the environment as well - there's nothing like a face mask made of healthy natural ingredients.

YSL Touche Eclat

The YSL Touche Eclat is considered a classic by customers far and wide - over the years, it has garnered quite the fanbase for itself. True, it doesn't work well for eye bags too dark, but if you have minor flaws or spots, then this is the concealer to splurge on. Either way, you'll end up looking much more fresh and awake!

Neon nail paint shades are back in style, and if you're someone who wants to keep up with the trends, then check out the Olive & June Summer Set Box.
