When Glamazon Eva Mendes was announced Global Pleasure Ambassador for Magnum ice-cream earlier this year, we had no idea that we’d soon be feeling guilty about some of these ‘glamorous’ pleasures as the GFC loomed…
Think back to a time when a new lippy wasn’t a novelty, when a $100 spa treatment wasn’t considered splashing out (it’s a necessity, dahling!), when you wouldn’t think twice about buying the latest MAC make-up the moment it hits shelves. They were happy times weren’t they?
Okay, let’s face it, not everyone has enjoyed the luxury of being cashed-up enough to fork out more than fifty bucks for a facial but you may have happily parted with a twenty to take the pain out of painting your own toenails. Nonetheless, I’m sure you’ll agree that if ever there was a time to stop and think before parting with your pennies, it’s now.
But of course, there are always those guilty pleasures that we refuse to relinquish. I’m talking about those beauty treats that we tell our friends about but not our partners – like the $95 Dermalogica moisturiser that I just sneaked into my bathroom cabinet. Or the Sunbeam Salon Technique Ionic Ceramic Curling Tong – a need rather than a necessity – and at $39.95 it’s surely a steal rather than a splurge.
Then there’s the Nutrimetics nc Rock n Roll Fever Guitar Princess Colour Intense Moisturising Lipstick SPF 18, which, for a limited time only you can pick up for $10 instead of its usual retail price of $33.50
Life would be so dull without these little beauty treats.
What have you secretly been splurging on?
