From Salons to Serums: Beauty Investments That Actually Pay Off
Ladies, let’s talk. You’ve probably spent your money on that pricey serum or booked a beauty salon appointment thinking “this will change everything.” But does it? Well sometimes it doesn’t always work. But with the right beauty investment it will be worth it.
Salon Treatments: Why Some Are Worth Every Penny
Some salon services actually deliver. Laser hair removal, lash lifts, or even microblading treatments can be long-lasting confidence boosters that save you time and effort.
Also regular facials that target issues like acne or pigmentation can help too, especially when done properly, by experts.

Serums: Why the Bottle—and the Price—Can Be Judged by the Content
Serums are the real MVP in skincare—they’re packed with concentrated active ingredients like vitamin C, peptides, retinoids, and hyaluronic acid designed to act deep beneath the skin surface. They often outperform moisturizers at treating a specific issue.
Here’s why investing in a good serum pays off:
- Powerful formulations with clinical backing. Brands like Augustine Bader’s The Serum (£280) or Skin ceuticals Phloretin CF are praised for delivering noticeable results thanks to active complexes and antioxidants.
- Tackles specific skin concerns. For dark spots or hyperpigmentation, you’ll want ingredients like kojic acid, alpha arbutin, azelaic and lactic acids. These target melanin production and exfoliate skin cells for better tone and brightness.
- Hydration and anti‑aging in one. Hyaluronic acid plumps fine lines instantly; peptides and retinoids promote collagen production with regular use. Dermatologists say serums are worth spending on more than many creams or masks.

Science-Backed Investing: What to Look For
- Research—not hype. Skip flashy marketing or claims without proof. God for serums with published studies, stable packaging (air‑tight or opaque), and visible ingredient lists.
- Know your skin. Hyaluronic acid for dryness, vitamin C or niacinamide for dull or uneven tone, AHAs/BHAs for breakouts, retinoids or peptides for aging prevention—choose based on your need, not crowd trends.
Essential vs Good : When to Save and When to Spend
- Save: Cleansers, toners, basic moisturizers, and fun mini masks don’t need to be expensive to do their job.
- Spend: Serums especially—plus performance treatments done by established experts (like facials, lasers, sculpting) these are more likely to deliver real change. Packaging and formula stability matter too.
Tips to Make Invested Beauty Spend Wisely
- Start with skin analysis. Know your tone, concerns, and sensitivity.
- Test samples first, especially for expensive serums or salon procedures.
- Be consistent. Many serums, especially anti‑aging or brightening—take a month or more before you see results.
- Maintain the basics. Even the best serum won’t work without regular cleansing, sunscreen, hydration, and occasionally salon upkeep.

Final Thought
Beauty is like investing in your skin’s future. Spend wisely on products and treatments that target real concerns. A well-chosen serum or professionally done treatment isn’t indulgent—it’s strategic. Consistency, trust in ingredients, and expert execution turn those investments into long‑term rewards.

The Palestinian-Dutch supermodel and founder of Orebella has made frequent visits to the UAE as she returned to the Middle East to attend the Orebella and Ulta Beauty Pop-up.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on the 9th of November 2025 at the Central Gallery Mall of the Emirates.
As the brand ambassador of Ulta Beauty, Bella Hadid attended the event where she had conversations with fans and talked about how fragrance represents personality and her hope to share that with the UAE, which she considers her home “spiritually, even though not geographically” as she put it.

“When I think of the Middle East, I think about fragrance, it goes back to my teta [‘grandmother’ in Arabic], and my aunts and uncles having these fragrances they would mix for themselves, or would wear for 45 years, that were such a part of their personalities; I hope ‘Ôrebella can be one version of their personalities, as well.”
Although the launch was significant, Bella Hadid’s presence drew the most attention with fans taking to social media to congratulate her.

The collaboration between BEIS and Rare Beauty fits into the current trend of balancing the need for functional travel accessories and quality on-the-go beauty essentials, which explains why it sold out within hours of the launch.
This collaboration was definitely one of the year’s best. We hope the collection is restocked soon and look forward to more iconic collaborations.
