You be the judge: should my daughter stop spending so much on beauty products?

Denise says Marsha is obsessed with her appearance and is wasting her money. Marsha says times have changed. You decide whose argument lacks foundation. Find out how to get a disagreement settled or become a juror. Why does a 19-year-old need to use £200 night cream? Plus she already wants ‘baby Botox’.
My daughter Marsha has always taken pride in her appearance. As a child, she used to love dressing up and raiding my makeup bag. At the same time, she was humble and would roll around in fields with her friends. We live in the country, and many of them have farms near us.
Now she is a law student who lives at university in the city and is becoming more image-conscious. Every time she returns home for the holidays, she’s wearing a new designer item. She bought Givenchy sunglasses, even though she already has a flashy collection.
And don’t get me started on her beauty regime. Her own makeup bag must be worth more than half my wardrobe. She takes pleasure in letting me know what all the serums do. I tell her: you don’t need to spend a fortune on face creams, they all do the same thing. But she’s always on TikTok researching retinol and peptides.
I don’t have a problem with her spending her own money on nice things, but she needs to assess whether they’re worth it. Who has £200 to spend on a night cream? It shouldn’t be a 19-year-old. I didn’t raise her to be flash with her cash, but she seems to be trying to keep up with girls she sees online, or some of her new uni friends. I’m worried she is going to go down the filler and Botox route. Marsha says she hasn’t had anything done, but that she wants to in the future.
