There’s not a lot more satisfying than a jumbo version of your favourite product. This is our pick of the ones to know about.
If there’s one thing we love (only slightly) more than a miniature-sized beauty product it’s a supersized one. Over the years, more and more brands have been launching bigger versions of their bestsellers, and if a jumbo-sized moisturiser isn’t something you’ve ever considered investing in, then we’re here to tell you that it could well be a good investment.
Of course, it’s something that’s only worth investigating once you know that you love a product and once it’s become a firm staple in your everyday routine. That’s when it makes the most financial sense to invest in the biggest size of a specific product available.
One thing worth noting is that although the largest is – in most cases – always going to be the most expensive, it’s important to keep in mind that it’ll generally be the best value, and cost-per-use will be dramatically reduced. Plus, not only do supersized products look good on your dressing table or in your bathroom, but they show you mean business and will keep you going for months. What’s not to love?
Here’s our edit of the best in XL beauty buys to know about…
