It's never worth it. Back in the days you had cheap and horrible drugstore make-up or high quality high end make-up. Nowedays the quality of drugstore make-up is getting better and better so there is no need to buy high end make-up anymore. You pay for the luxurey feel, nothing more than that. Just look at Louboutin, do you really think that the quality of the nailpolish is worth $50,-? Do you really think the quality of the lipstick is worth $90,-? It sure as hell isn't. But swiping a louboutin lipstick or the Guerlain meteorites across your face makes you feel like a million bucks and that is why some people buy high end. We buy the dream. And the packaging is not worth it. They went from metal, to cardboard, to metal again, then just cardboard and now plastic. It is Guerlain, why can't they just give us an option of buying the refill balls for $80,- or a really pretty $150,- class casing. Come on peeps at Guerlain, you are a luxury brand, you know people are willing to pay for it, now give us or moneys worth. And I bet that if they make the glass casing super limited and a christmas only thing, there will be woman fighting for it, woman lusting over it and girls will be saving up for it. It is the ultimate MACapproach and it will work as a charm.
