Hi everyone, how are you on this beautiful but cold Wednesday? I have a fun post today and I am super excited to bring to you. Today I am showing off some of the luxury items that, while I could live without them, I really don't want to.
While I am an "all about drugstore" kind of girl, I do have my moments of wanting or just down right needing items that are far from the drugstore price. In cases such as these, I will ask for items as Christmas gifts or use birthday money to purchase them with. So these are not regular items I just go out and purchase because I want too or because I run out of. These are items I save for special occasions. I guess you could call these "splurge items" for me. But anyways, let's get started.
First up is the Macadamia Oil Hair Mask. The price usually runs around $25 USD. I don't feel that $25 is expensive for many items, but when I spend $5 on my usual conditioner, $25 is a large step up for something such as this.
This little pot of deliciousness is my all time, absolute, (I could live without, but don't want too) and would cry if they did away with hair mask. The texture is like Country Crock margarine. That does sound gross, but that is how thick the texture is. What's so great about it, is that I have very fine hair and even with the thickness of this mask, it doesn't weigh my hair down. The biggest reason I can't seem to part with it however, is because of the scent. I have never found anything smell so wonderful in all of my life!! The scent is kind of light fruity-ness but has a high end scent to it as well.
Next up is a skincare product that is such a fantastic product. It's the Dr. Brandt Pore Dermabrasion.
This scrub is amazing on my skin. I love using those apricot scrubs multiple times a week, but they never compare to the results of just one time using the Dr. Brandt. Unfortunately this little bottle comes in at a whopping $40 USD for just 2 oz. So I do what I can to make my little bottle last as long as humanly possible. But this is a much loved product for me.
My last and final product that is a luxury purse. It took me over a year and a half to save up for this bag. I think it's just goregeous and could live without it, but really don't want too. It's the Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 handbag.
This was to biggest investment (style wise) that I had ever made. It retails for $1040 USD. I wasn't going to go into any kind of debt to purchase it, so I did the old fashioned way and just saved money up in a little envelope until I had enough. It took me close to 14 months to save up for it, and even after 10 years of owning it, I have never regretted the purchase.
Now, why did I purchase this bag? Well, I am first off a collector of handbags. It is the "shoes to Carrie Bradshaw" item to me. I did a ton of research on the brand, the style and the craftsmanship of the LV Speedy, before finally settling in on it. I do not carry my Speedy everyday. In fact I only carry it once or twice a month, but that is because I don't want it to go through the wear and tear of my normal daily life. I am rough on bags and for me, this is a "collector piece", so I want to make sure it always looks brand new. My favorite thing about the bag is that you wear sweatpants and a t-shirt then throw the Speedy on your arm and your look has just went from roll out of bed s#!%, to roll out of bed chic. :)
So there you have it. Luxury items that I really am good with spending my money on and have never regretted the purchase of. What are your luxury items that you love? Let me know what you like.
That's all I have for today, I will be back again soon, so until next time, take care.
