For example, expensive mascara, foundation, etc…is it worth it to buy as a gift or will I be better off giving something else that may last a long time? I have no idea about make-up.
Context: I am a med-student so these things will be bought out of my personal savings which aren’t a lot.
Also, what are your thoughts on makeup products from MAC and Huda Beauty? I was eyeing a long lasting mascara to buy for my partner from either MAC or Huda Beauty but I can get something else like clothes for her in the same price…
My mom used to get me mascara sampler sets every year from Shoppers Drug Mart here in Canada. It had their higher end mascaras in it, and a coupon to get a full size one of whatever one I liked best. I’m not sure if Sephora does something similar but I loved it because it gave me the chance to try a bunch of different ones.
