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:

your face worth?

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting. Let me know what you get!
DeleteOoh 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?
ReplyDeleteIt was! Thank you for visiting
