The maker of Dove soap said Thursday underlying fourth-quarter sales rose 4.2 percent, above the 4 percent analysts anticipated. It also announced a €1.5 billion ($1.8 billion) share buyback starting in the second quarter.

Then I looked at my own bathroom shelf, packed with Korean beauty products that cost me less than a nice dinner out, and realized something: My skin had never looked better, and I'd spent a fraction of what my luxury-brand-devoted friends had.
