Worth the Splurge: Luxury Beauty I Actually Use

Hey you, it’s me! 💋
Every now and then, I find something that makes me want to make a little room in the beauty budget. These are the luxury beauty products I actually use and think are worth the splurge, and I’ll be honest about what I’ve noticed and what I haven’t. Black Friday is a smart time to watch these, since splurges are where a discount really adds up.

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil
This is my summer-glow splurge. I love the glittery shimmer it gives my skin. It’s one of those little extras I pull out when I want to glow. Shop it at Sephora.
Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Eau de Parfum
I love this fragrance, too, and it pairs perfectly with the body oil. A mini is a great way to try it before committing to a full bottle. Shop it at Sephora.
Kérastase Chronologiste Overnight Youth Serum
This one earns its place because it’s a nightly habit. I smooth it onto my ends, it doesn’t leave my hair oily, and it’s become a real favorite. I’ve noticed growth while using Kérastase products, though I wouldn’t credit one product for that. Shop Kérastase Chronologiste.
Also in my bag: Kérastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum.
SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum
A premium serum in my skincare routine. Shop SkinMedica TNS Advanced+.
Also in my bag: Clarins Double Serum.
Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner
Part of my luxury haircare rotation. I also use other shampoos and conditioners, so there isn’t just one bottle on my shower shelf. Shop the shampoo and conditioner.
Also in my bag: Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox.
How I Decide What’s Worth It
A splurge is personal. For me, it has to be something I use often, something I genuinely enjoy, or something that does a job my budget picks don’t. If it sits in a drawer, it wasn’t worth it, no matter how pretty the bottle.
