What's actually worth buying

Head-to-head comparisons and honest write-ups, with what Amazon Australia is charging today rather than what it charged last year.

Hair tools, compared
Dyson Nural vs Shark FlexStyle: is the extra $145 worth it?
One is $444. The other is $299. They are not the same kind of tool, and the price gap is not the point.
Skincare, honestly
The two steps in this routine you can skip
Six steps, $274.39. Two of them are doing a job another product already does, and one pairing will make your skin sting.

Tatcha The Rice Wash: is it worth $22?
$22 a tube and 4.6 / 5 on Amazon Australia. A tube lasts about a month, which makes the real number $264 a year.
Straighteners, compared
Dyson Corrale vs GHD Chronos: what does $193.99 buy?
One is $542.99. One is $349. The difference between them is a cable, and whether that is worth $193.99 to you.

Parfums de Marly Delina: who is a $484.67 bottle actually for?
$484.67, 4.6 / 5 on Amazon Australia, and genuinely the one people ask about. Whether it's worth buying depends entirely on how often you'd wear it.
Reviewed
Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0: $0.47 a pad, and what they actually do
$33 for 70 pads, 4.7 / 5 on Amazon Australia. Pores don't close — here's what does change, and whether that's worth it.
Hair care, by budget
Hair tools: what $52 buys, and what $542.99 buys
An eleven-fold price spread, and results that do not spread anything like as far. Where the money stops buying better hair.
Face creams, compared
LANEIGE Water Bank vs Olay Regenerist: what is the $26.99 for?
$56.98 against $29.99. They look like rivals on a shelf and they solve completely different problems.
