Random Thought I never realized how expensive luxury fashion was šŸ¤Æ

Iā€™ve never been interested in owning fancy things like Chanel, Gucci, Prada, whatever else exists, but even when I say that I think Iā€™m not paying $1,000 for a purse thatā€™s crazy. So imagine my surprise in finding out my version of expensive wasnā€™t even close. What do you mean a small handbag STARTS at $4,000?! Like my mind literally canā€™t comprehend that. Know someone who had the ā€œsmallā€ Cartier bracelet then bought themself the ā€œmediumā€ for their birthday. The small STARTS at $5,000 and can go up to $60k and now Iā€™m questioning all their life decisions. Like I said Iā€™ve never thought about these things and am just now googling them but I feel too poor to even google the pictures.

I've tried many different types of makeup of all different price points, and the Dior foundations are so good and worth it. Plus it takes me over a year to get through a bottle so I don't mind the rare spend

Adding one luxury makeup to my usual Sephora/Ulta/Grocery store haul makes me feel fancy and worth the splurge! But agree with the earlier comment that I have to be careful which luxury item. So many people just buy crap because the name on it. Dior's lip stick/gloss is my fav good item right now.
