What's Your Face Worth?

Sunday, 15 March 2015

Makeup

Whilst the face the Lord gave me is priceless, the stuff that I put on it to make it look nicer costs money.   The "What's Your Face Worth?" TAG has appeared in a few of the blogs on my feed recently.  I thought I'd play and TAG you!  Please join in if you'd like.   You may find it as sobering as I did.  

Being a woman is expensive.   A woman spends an average of £100,000 on cosmetics and £40,000 on hair-care in her lifetime.  Xovain posted some thought provoking articles about the need to set a beauty budget (trying!) and how products aimed at women tend to be more expensive than male equivalents.   

I buy is a mixture of high street and beauty counter make-up.  Fortunately, as you can see, I didn't pay for it all at once!  Some of the purchases were paid for with loyalty points.  Others I waited to purchase until they had 10% off offers. No doubt this confirms Rev T's belief that I spend way too much:


Stila One Step Correct Primer - £21.60
Max Factor Colour Corrector - Dark Circles - £8.99
Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow - Benefit - Sample.  Free.  
Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer - £10.80
Secret Concealer - Laura Mercier - £19.00
One Heck of a Blot - Soap & Glory - £12.00
Wild Bouquet Blush - Laura Mercier - £20.50
It's All About Prime- Soap & Glory - £8.00
Naked Basics 2 - Urban Decay - £20.70
False Lash Effect Mascara - Max Factor - £10.99
Hunky Dory Lipstick - Topshop - £8
Pro-Base Fixing Mist - Makeup Academy - £5

That adds up to  ... £145.58.  What's your face worth?

[The prices are as of the day of searching and include any offers.  No freebies!]

    Ooh that's really interesting. I would say that my face isn't worth much at all, looking at the crusty old make-up hiding in my bag but if I added it up, it would probably be somewhere in the region of yours. Quite scary isn't it?
