"But there is a world of difference between a casual shopping trip, and a spree to find an outfit for a very important occasion.
"While fashion shopping is a chore, and girls feel under enormous pressure to choose clothes which make them look smart, thin, gorgeous and presentable, beauty shopping seems to be more of a feel-good pleasure."
