[quote=Anonymous]Also OP, I would really try to separate the “morality” of whether $400 is “too much” for skincare. If I wanted to, I would drop that much on skincare. I’ll probably spend more than that on lasers and Botox this fall. The language about what is “ridiculous” and what is “appropriate” and all of that imo is really unhelpful. What matters is the numbers. She needs to get a handle on her numbers and manage them how she wants. That means her whole personal financial picture, her goals (savings for a car? College? Anything like that on the horizon) and her income. Imo it’s fine if it’s an allowance from you and also fine if it includes a car, college spending money, whatever! The important thing is that you lay it all out and she has the knowledge to know how blowing $400 at Sephora is going to fit in her plan and her means.

Whether or not drunk elephant is “worth it” is really a separate conversation imo. Buying $20 of Suave is a problem if you don’t have $20 in the budget for it. Buying $600 eye cream might be fine if it’s in the budget. [/quote]
