I need to make it very clear from the off that I do not have an abundant disposable income. I have a mortgage, bills, and, crucially, two children in full-time nursery to pay for. Safe to say that after all of that money has exited my account, I'm not left with much to play with. Therefore, I don't have the means to be dropping big money on luxury beauty products. So when I found out that the U Beauty The Super Tinted Serum that I had recently started using (on a daily basis) retailed for £98 I had to take a minute to compose myself.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not immune to the pull of a luxe product. "Bathe me in Augustinus Bader" and "bury me with my Chanel bronzer" I say. And if you were to look in my make-up bag you would see quite a few skin tints that would set you back about fifty pounds. However, £98 is a slight step up.
