I love to shop for my beauty supplies, but I definitely dont have a budget close to these ladies. However I would slurge on some of these products maybe for one month to try it and see if its worth repeating. Sometimes its hard to splurge on 60 or 80 dollar items because its alot of money, but if you shop in beauty stores that allow you to return items you don't like, you can always return it if its not up to your expectations. Im pretty sure the bottles can't be empty or anything. I would recommend going to the store and asking about the return policy before you dish out 60 dollars. Unless you have a $1000 dollar budget ; )
