According to a 2013 study, a single woman spends on average £18,000 on her face in her entire lifetime, and this is without even including hair care, body care, salon costs, spinning classes and that very necessary yoga and wellness retreat that literally transformed your life.

Even if we do find time, are we really going to obsessively scour every nook and cranny of the internet for a chance encounter with a cut-price Chanel cream? No siree! That's why we've taken it upon ourselves to do the leg work, so you lot don't have to.
