On what items do you splurge and where do you save?

[mum295]

I was just wondering where other people save their money in the realm of all things 'Style & Beauty' and where do you splash the cash?

Mine are:

Spend on -

Hair products
Hairdresser
Handbags (and then wear them until they fall apart)
Scarves and gloves
Spectacles
Everyday (casual) shoes
Trainers for running
Make-up
Moisturiser
Perfume

Save on -

Clothes (eBay and charity shops)
Coats (eBay)
Smart/dressy shoes and boots (eBay)
Gym clothes
Cleansers
Undies and socks

Obviously this is relative to your own budget.

Splurge:
Shoes - I hate cheap shoes with a passion.
Sandals - I prefer leather-soled ones and they're always pricey.
Knitwear - cheap knitwear looks awful for the most part.
Clothes in general - I prefer fewer, more expensive items to tonnes of high street stuff.
Coats - a good quality coat is a must for feeling stylish.
Work clothes - good quality dresses and jackets only.

Save:
Hairdressers - I cut my own hair.
Make up and skin care - I buy a small amount of good quality stuff that lasts for ages.
Jeans - Topshop/Gap/French Connection in the sales. I've never seen the point of designer jeans.
Underwear - boring Gap underwear mostly.
Beauty treatments - cheapo diy treatments only.

Glasses - my current pair are three years old and counting.
Going out clothes - I don't really buy flashy going-out clothes; I prefer the understated look.

Spend on: hair colour, moisturiser, makeup, handbags, bras
