be honest please!!

Do you prefer high end skin care or drug store skin care? Do you think the formula for high end skin care is better or just the brand?

In my experience it comes down to the brand/product much more than the price - there are great finds and major misses at every price point. Some high end brands really do put more effort into their formulations and quality than cheaper brands, and those can be holy grails for sure! But there are also TONS of amazing products that put just as much care into their products at a lower cost. I tend to stick with more drugstore products, but I’m a big fan of high-end minis to test them out!

Drugstore! I was working at a duty free shop a while back and was able to try out high end skincare and make up. Non of them impressed me and some of them destroyed my skin. The only exception I found was Estee Lauder Advanced Night repair serum. So I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'm not willing to go bankrupt trying to find what works. Most often the price tag is associated with the brand, marketing costs etc, not the actual ingredients. Skincare doesn't need to be pricey to be effective 🙌

I like some drug store brands and some high-end products. I haven’t tried Tatcha yet.
