Drugstore mascara, Sephora mascara- pish posh. But not all products or tools match up as such. Though I’ve tried to cut down my spending during the holiday season, there are just some pricy products I can’t live without, such as Mario Badescu drying lotion as opposed to any topical cream Walgreens has to offer. I asked around to other sorority sisters to see what products they’re willing to break the bank for.
Elly Blandin- “I care about my nails more than just about anything else. It’s something that people always see, so I’m willing to splurge on quality nail polish. Essie is my absolute favorite and the price is definitely worth the results, and they even sell it at drugstores now.”
Taylor Sheehan- “Having curly hair, any old drugstore product usually doesn’t tame it. I love the Bumble and Bumble’s Curl Conscious Defining Cream and it’s just about the only thing I’m willing to splurge on. I wear my hair curly pretty much every day, so it’s worth the price.”
Melissa de Pau- “Quality self-tanner is necessary for me. I’ll pay a little extra if it means avoiding looking like a pumpkin or being streaky. I’d definitely recommend Clarin’s Self-Tanning Instant Gel to anyone who has a little extra to spend and wants a sun-kissed tan, even in the dead of winter.
