Don’t get me wrong, I like a weighty gold-encased highlighter and an a silken serum that costs more than my weekly shop as much as the next beauty-obsessed gal, but I also believe that good quality, efficacious products don’t have to cost the earth. So if handing over a hefty sum for a beauty product that promises to change your life makes you wince, wipe your eyes and look no further.
