If you could splurge on one beauty product

Random question, I know.

I've been given a 100€ voucher for the Marrionaud shops here in France (where I live) and was thinking that I would use part of it to splurge on something really indulgent that I wouldn't usually buy.

I use bare minerals powder foundation (that they don't sell) and have an urban decay nude eye palette that I use pretty much every day with a brown liner and mascara (bright blue eyes). On days when I really have my shit together, I use Benefit Benetint on my lips. Other than that, I don't really wear much makeup.

I have loads of perfume and travel regularly so I tend to buy it at duty free.

I was thinking of a really good lipstick (I like the idea of lipstick but have never found one that stayed put for long enough to make it seem worth the hassle) but I'm open to other suggestions. What would you recommend that I splurge on?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Soleil tan de chanel is what I would splurge on. As for lipsticks, I really love some of the ysl ones.

DCL C-scape vitamin C serum. I had a sample once and my skin has never looked better. People asking if I’d been away, that sort of thing. It’s over £100 to buy but I do dream of it!!

Creme de la Mer

I’ve just splurged on the hourglass ambient lighting edit. I’ve wanted it for years and always talked myself out of it. In my experience that tends to mean it’s going to be crap! (But I bloody hope not).
If I was going to splurge again I would get a really nice set of make up brushes or a really good concealer and loose powder. It would need to be bulletproof, my dark circles are a sight to be seen. They are hereditary and I had them as a baby so at least I’m used to them Grin.

L'Occitane Divine cream is my splurge.
I've just splurged though, on the back of a makeup thread on Bobbi Brown corrector, foundation and highlighty thingy and am liking them a lot. Especially the satisfyingly expensive sounding click of the compact Grin
That reminds me, I used to have a monthly splurge on something posh like a Givenchy Prism.

Sunday Riley Tidal Cream - it’s just so lovely.

Thanks for the suggestions. Some of these look lovely but aren't sold in the shop I have a voucher for.

I went shopping this weekend and bought a lipstick and a gorgeous bronze eyeliner pen, both Lancôme. There was a promotion for 40% off a second item so I still have about 35€ to spend but I think I'll just use it as and when stuff needs replacing

Emma Hardie Moringa Balm would be my splurge but might not be sold. What brands do they sell?
