When it comes to Beauty

Sometime ago we decided to ask the girls from our Club what is more important for them when it comes to Beauty products/Perfume: price or quality.

We publish here the answers that we got from them (I edited some of the answers):
"My favourite products are those that are 100% organic, natural, without nasty chemicals, those safe and healthy.
So, I always go for a quality and I'd rather have one proper product than ten cheap, low in quality stuff.
Probably it's good to mention, I tend to use homemade beauty products a lot, like homemade facial masks and natural oils instead of expensive creams. Parfums are on the other hand, a bit more complex as I didn't find a natural one yet that would smell as good as those in shops :)) Hope it helps!"

I buy products within a fairly specific price range ($20-80 for beauty products and $60-150 for perfumes) because, from my understanding and experience, products that fall below this range are usually characterised by poor quality, whereas products above this range charge for the brand and do not offer superior quality. Cheers :)

Not tested on animals. Followed by quality. Followed by price.

When I was a teenager I had a really good friend who was in her late twenties and she always looked awesome and was pretty much my role model. She always had very expensive makeup and I loved using her stuff.I didn't like spending money on makeup and i was using cheap stuff myself. She told me something that changed my view on it forever. She said: "u only get one face, one skin, and it's you are who should take care of it. Why on earth would u ever put cheap stuff on to your own precious skin? I would never do that... u can't buy new skin later on. You only deserve the best!"For some reason it really touched me. I thought that she is right and since then I only use expensive brandy cosmetics and can't imagine it any other way. Kind regards. DL
To me as a pensioner the price is very important. But the best  combination is high quality for the reasonable price

As I travel a lot I use my beauty products depending on a season. My favourites are KENZO AMOUR made in France,  Daisy by Marc Jacobs - made in France, ESCADA Rocking Rio limited Edition - made in UK, LILY OF THE VALLEY - made in England, TWIN FLOWER - MADE IN AJMAN U.A.E. I also try to buy high quality products for my man: he uses DDOBYL COSMETICS super tonic - made in Korea - it's a magical thing! If you use it once yiou get addicted to it. My heart is giving up without fighting when it comes to beauty and when you talk about perfume - I place the expensive ones on the first place. Hugs and kisses.

To me both are important :)

Budget versus luxe... I would always choose the latter as the famous proverb says “we are not rich enough to buy cheap things…” My mum would always say: ”get used to buy expensive things – you will end up spending less...”

I tend not to listen to her advice in the past but later to my disappointment I discovered that the packages are not that good and you loose half of your compact powder or your blush half way through, or your perfume does not close tightly and you tend to use more of it because it evaporates quicker than the expensive ones, the makeup applies in horrible unpredictable and unmanageable flakes, it feels dry in a couple of hours or.. (which is even worse out of all) you look and smell hideous wearing cheap make up and low grade perfume - it is also about your presentation that matters and about you loving yourself that matters above all...

This is one side of my short story. The other side is how to fit into the budget going for luxury things at the same time.


There is my story: I choose DFO stores around Melbourne that sell for example my favorite MOR bathroom and toiletries like luxury soaps and lots of other nice things for bathroom decorations, we girls love so much - so called bathroon jewellery (it smells nice, it's gentle on your skin and it looks delicious"; DFOs also sell good perfume brands, selective designer perfume brands and upper grade designer make up lables for a very affordable price…

I also go to sales (like they currently run at Perfume Connections Chadstone where everything goes at $10 to $25 including the most desirable brands - what a paradise for those of addicted to luxe and beauty!), I also use e-bay often and of course there are lots of online stores.

It works well but you need to investigate and compare prices before you buy.

Sometimes though - treat yourself with something outstanding that no one might have as yet: something from Mecca Cosmetics Stores - once a year - it is always about loving yourself really, remember?..
