One of my biggest beauty regrets of this year is that I didn’t buy one of Bare Escentuals’ ‘Get Started’ mineral foundation kits when I was in the US this summer. The reason? Well, each kit costs around $60 over there, where over here you’re lucky to get change out of £60 for the same thing. (That’s about $120, for the benefit of any US readers). Not very fair, is it?
Well, luckily for those of us living in dear old Blighty, the pound/dollar exchange rate is looking mighty fine right now, with a rate of $2.10 to the the $1. That’s not great news for the US, of course, but it is good news for those of us who’re keen to get our hands on some budget beauty buys.
Right now on eBay, for instance, the Bare Escentuals kits are selling for $49.99, plus $15 shipping. That works out at around £31, which is still £20 less than the cheapest kit on eBay UK. I know what I’ll be buying this week, then…
