Luxury Make Up and Skincare That's Actually Worth It
15
items I've tried the dupes, I've tested the real deal, and yeah the luxe stuff is worth it in this case! If you want to know where to actually spend your hard earned money when it comes to luxury skin and makeup, this is it!
A pricey toner/essence but the red algae tech is unlike anything I've tried before when it comes to acne and skin evening.
The Treatment Lotion | Energizing Lotion - La Mer
Layered over toner, this brightens my dark spots, particularly acne scars. Sometimes Caudalie runs deals, but Space NK (the British retailer) regularly has this for $20 less than other retailers.
Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum is 62x more effective than Vitamin C to ...
Okay there are some great dupes out there but the color tone of the Rosewood color is just so cute. It gives you a nice, deeper flush, especially people with olive or deeper skin tones
Rosy Glow Blush: New Shades, Glow Effect | Dior US
It has just a bit of subtle glow and sparkle so I use this as my blush topper and highlight in one!
Rose Hermes, Silky blush powder, Rose Abricot | Hermès USA
A little goes A LONG way so this stuff lasts forever. Great bang for your buck if you want a luxury item that has longevity
LES BEIGES Water-fresh blush Light peach - Chanel
The best color pay off and velvet texture of all the high end lipsticks I've tried! And I've tried a lot...
True Velvet Lip Colour | Luxury Lipstick | Lisa Eldridge Makeup
Really subtle, not overwhelming bronzer powder that has the cutest packaging. Not gonna lie...
Dior Forever Bronzer - Dior's Best Bronzing Powder Compact | Dior US
I have the first gen version of this lippie, and even then it's good stuff. They have improved the formula over the years as well so it's even better now. And apparently there's a hack where you can pull the YSL ring off the bullet when you're done, ...
Rouge Volupte Shine | Lipstick | YSL Beauty UK
The bullet (sold separately) is the most decadent part. It's heavy, it's large, but it's customizable and so luxurious
Luxury Lipstick: Long-Lasting & High-End Lipstick ⋅ GUERLAIN
Hermes nail polish is hands down the best I've ever tried. Thought pricey, it lasts a really long time and it makes for a really bougie little gift because it's packaged so nice!
Hermès nail polish, nail files and hand care
Just as a warning, it's super fragranced but it's really nice if you don't want to layer both a lotion and a perfume. Great for traveling because it's one less liquid I have to pack.
Body Lotions - Chanel
I use this as a bronzer when I just want a bit of warming up and not full blown bronzer. Was a little bit of a learning curve to use but once I went in with an angled brush, it looked great!
SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer® – MAKEUP BY MARIO
A really nice range of subtle color or pops of color. I love the orange lippies they do seasonally. Also A+ in packaging
Fragrances and make-up Lips - Hermes
I know I know, this has been duped time and time again but really nothing hits quick like the original. Has long staying power and the bottle even looks luxe too!
Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum | TOM FORD BEAUTY
I'm so bad at using texturizing spray but this one is such a no brainer. Great for styling, especially with hot tools (my hair doesn't smell like burned utensils in other words)
Dry Texturizing Spray - Oribe Hair Care
