Face creams, haircuts, shampoo, mascara, waxings — our beauty routines do not come cheap. Though we’d like to think we do pretty well for ourselves when it comes to our regular maintenance, let’s just imagine for a moment that money was not a factor. We’d surely upgrade a few things here and there. Okay, we’d upgrade A LOT of things — and book a spa getaway to the Maldives, stat.

It’s true that money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you a Kylie Jenner wig and a fancy facial — or better yet, your own personal facialist to accompany you on that tropical vacay. Life in the top tax bracket is full of primping, pampering, and procedures. Of course, we don’t think all of it is totally necessary, but it’s still fun to daydream about a world where money is no object and the La Mer flows like wine.

Change Your Hair 50 Times A Year
We feel really (and we mean really) on top of our game if we hit the salon every few months — and usually that’s just for a trim or a color touch-up, not a whole beauty overhaul. But if you’re Kylie Jenner, visiting your hairstylist — or, rather, having your hairstylist visit you — seems to happen as often as we go out to brunch.

Harper’s Bazaar calculated that Kylie switched her look 51 times over the course of 2015. The mag also brings up the possibility that more transformations have gone undocumented — though we somehow doubt that, considering that fam’s selfie obsession.

Take Time (A Lot Of Time) For Manicures
But Kylie’s hair isn’t the only thing she’s constantly switching up. Kris Jenner urged her daughter to always have a fresh manicure — and she takes her advice very seriously.

“My mom always drilled it in my head to have nice, pretty nails…” Kylie Jenner told People. “I get my nails done every week. I’ve sat literally for four to five hours doing them. I used to spend so much time doing the craziest artwork.”
Though, we’re sure she allowed herself a few Snapchat breaks.

Have A Standing Monthly Appointment With A Facialist…
If you want to live like an angel (looking like one probably has a much heftier price tag) or at least have skin like one, you need to up your facial game. Blonde bombshell Candice Swanepoel told Harper’s Bazaar that she religiously gets a facial with extractions once a month.

…Or Perhaps, A Weekly One
Once you enter the Gwyneth Paltrow beauty-sphere, facials every seven days are in order. The Daily Mail reported that out of Miss Goop’s $21,000 monthly (!) beauty budget, a large portion goes to weekly facials and skin treatments. Her top picks: $2,250 microdermabrasion, electronic muscle stimulation, an oxygen-mist treatment at Tracie Martyn in New York, and an $450 apple stem cell facial at Sonya Dakar in L.A.

But she’ll really try anything when it comes to beauty — her words, not ours. “I’m open to anything,” she told The New York Times. “I’ve been stung by bees. It’s a thousands-of-years-old treatment called apitherapy. People use it to get rid of inflammation and scarring. It’s actually pretty incredible if you research it. But, man, it’s painful. I haven’t done cryotherapy yet, but I do want to try that.”

Slather La Mer — Everywhere
Chrissy Teigen is undoubtedly one of the most down-to-earth celebs — but that doesn’t stop her from going over-the-top when it comes to her beauty routine. In a recent interview withAllure, the mom-to-be admitted to rubbing La Mer The Concentrate (a serum that costs $440 a pop) all over her pregnant belly to prevent stretch marks — something she and her fam are prone to, but that she says hubs John Legend could “care less about.” She also admitted that she is “25 minutes late to everything because my lotion regimen is that long. I put it everywhere.”
