What are beauty essentials?

To understand what beauty essentials are, we must first define what beauty is. As frivolous as beauty may seem on the surface, it's actually a rather controversial and deep-rotted subject. It's far from frivolous. It's responsible for the rise in eating disorders, the "Heroin Sheek" phase, bankruptcy, society's corruptive influences on many individuals, to the rarely acknowledged "feel good feeling" it has on many people. Prioritized improperly, beauty becomes an infectious disease that contaminates other areas of your life. But when beauty is applied wisely, it's transformative. Beauty brings the positive inner you out. It's your self-confidence, your smile, your happiness, your joy, your inner beauty just shining through. It's little things you do to make yourself feel special and good about yourself. It's taking time out of your life to remind yourself that you're worth pampering. With regular special treatments, you start to realize how much you deserve this because you're worth it. Believing that changes you for the better. That's what beauty is to me. And essentials are everything that goes with that. I don't consider beauty essentials to be obnoxiously overpriced, financially disruptive purchases and compulsive habits that causes more burden than relief. That's beauty obsession and damage. That's not what I'm about. I'm about incorporating pamper treatments that make me feel good about myself, things I can afford and deserve emotionally and financially.
