I'll admit it, I'm an enabler. If you had £50 in your pocket, and were trying to decide whether to spend or save, chances are, I'll direct you to the nearest Topshop, Zara or Space NK. Sorry, I can't help it.
Hence why this month I've decided to round up the cream of the beauty crop, and bring you a definitive list of products that are worth dropping serious $$$ on.
(That being said, please don't start trolling me on twitter if you end up blowing your monthly salary on makeup and have to live off beans on toast till payday.)
1
DIPTYQUE INFUSED FACE OIL
Not only does this give glowy, angel-like skin, but the face oil itself is quite possibly one of the prettiest things we've ever clapped eyes on. I mean, it has real-life rose petals in it. 🌹💕
Being Diptyque, it smells like heaven, naturally. But it's not just a pretty face, the dry oil is intensely nourishing and you only need a drop into your everyday moisturiser for a deep boost of hydration.
£48, diptyqueparis.co.uk

VICTORIA BECKHAM X ESTEE LAUDER
ICYMI, Victoria Beckham teamed up with Estee Lauder to release a makeup collection, and of course, every product from the line up was ridiculously decadent and managed to make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Our favourite buy has to be the Highlighter, just look at the packaging, and that glossy-finish, sparkly powder. It's the stuff of beauty dreams.
£64, Victoria Beckham x Estee Lauder Highlighter

DIOR CAPTURE TOTALE
If you've been hunting for a new foundation - because the 7 sitting in your dressing table draw just don't cut it - Dior's Capture Totale Dreamskin Perfect Skin Cushion SPF 50 PA +++ (what a mouthful) is unbelievably good - just excuse the hella long name. It gives full coverage but still manages to look light and fresh. What is this sorcery?
£55.80, JohnLewis.com

TOM FORD SOLEIL EYE & CHEEK PALETTE
Chances are, you'll probably need to sit down after opening the lid of this Tom Ford palette (£98). With a peachy blush on one side, champagne highlighter on the other, and a quad of beautifully bronze shadows in the middle, it's everything you could ever need and more.
Coming soon, 31st October.
5
CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE INK
Guys, Chanel, are launching matte liquid lipsticks. Let's all take a moment, and let that sink in...
The long-wearing matte lippies (£26 each) have been dubbed 'Lip Inks', because it's Chanel and they so fancy. The formula feels like silk and is totally weightless on the lips, plus the shade range is perfection.
Coming Soon 7th October
6
ELIZABETH ARDEN SKIN RENEWAL BOOSTER
Do you ever feel like you drop a whole load of money of fancy skincare products and yet, you never see a difference? Well Elizabeth Arden's Superstart is genius as it works like a battery pack for your skincare products. Apply it before your serum or moisturiser and it will boost the effectiveness of whatever you apply to your face. Snazzy, huh?
£45, Elizabetharden.co.uk

DYSON SUPERSONIC HAIRDRYER
I know the idea of spending £300 on a hairdryer seems crazy, but read THIS, and you'll see why it's worth every single penny of it's hefty price tag.
£299, Selfridges.com
8
JO MALONE BASIL & NEROLI COLOGNE
'Fresh, green florals with a herby kick' could be the best way to describe Jo Malone's newest scent. The Basil & Neroli Cologne (£86 for 100ml) is already set to be a best-seller, and it's only just launched. Question is, will it upstage our love for Pomegranate Noir? Only time will tell.
£86, Jomalone.co.uk
9
TOM FORD LIPS AND BOYS 50 PIECE SET
Apologies in advance, but I had to include this. There are no lipsticks in the world, quite like Tom Ford's, and this bumper set houses FIFTY of the beauties. From the sleek black and gold packaging to the impeccable colour selection, it may cost the same as a small car (ahem, £1500), but, just LOOK. Better grab a lottery ticket, peeps.
£1500, Selfridges
