Me and my cousins were discussing this the other day and all was going well until my aunt got involved.
Cousin 1 (who is 22) had a respectable total of about £30 (moisturiser, foundation, concealer and blusher), cousin 2 (who is 16) had a total of £15 (moisturiser, concealer and mascara) and I had a total of about £20 (moisturiser, eye cream, eyeliner and lipstick).
Then came the aunt..she well and truly put us to shame, below is an itemised list of what she had on her face and how much her face was worth..
Moisturiser: £122
Eye cream: £123
Serum: £68
Foundation: £21.50
Powder: £4
Concealer: £13
Lipstick: £35
Eyeliner: £10
Eyeshadow: £23
This is her "off work, low maintenance" face, I really want to know what her full on work face is worth.
You might say that all that stuff is fair given that she is of more mature years (heh!), but her sister who is about 3 years younger than her only had a total of £20..
As I dislike posts with no pics, this is what I had on my face that day (and what is my usual "too lazy to make an effort" face).
I was sent the lipstick before (swatch is here) and the eye cream was a GWP (review here).

I actually dread to think... Skincare alone is prob worth around £100 ish, but that is because I cleanse, tone, moisturise, use serum, eye cream, water spray etc... and thatts before I even think about makeup... Great post, really interesting and thought provoking!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post and I dont even wanna think as to how much my face is worth coz if i calcualate i will faint!LOL(i spend money mostly on skincare than makeup)
ReplyDeleteAt first I was like 'pfft well I can understand the serums and moisturisers and such but not the makeup' but then I got to the comments and wondered what my total will be like when I do my makeup in an hour XD
ReplyDeleteMine's worth around a 1000 rupees or so, I'm not sure how much that is in pounds but it isn't bad at all :D
