With our bank account balances looking a little healthier than they did in previous months, there’s no better time than now to treat yourself to a little retail therapy.
Ahead, we’ve put together a list of some of the most coveted beauty goodies to get you in the mood for a shopping spree. Think of it as an early Christmas gift, from you to you.
