I’m a University Student, and so cost should be a huge concern to me in every aspect of my life. However, I feel like Skincare and Makeup is when the cost of things can get a little out of control, without you even realising. And when I got all the products I use on an everyday basis together in one space and plussed the price of everything up together, I was completely shocked at how much it was.
Now, my makeup and skincare is less than some people, but then a lot more than others, and so this may seem like a lot or a little to me, but I found this really interesting.
Here’s what I use on an everyday basis – if I was to apply my ‘Everyday Makeup Look’

Total: £210.16
Now to me, this was a huge shock?! I know to some people this is nothing, and some people spend that much on one item alone. However, considering less than a year ago I was only wearing concealer and mascara, to me this is a huge leap!
I hope you enjoyed this, and found it insightful to think about things in terms of how much they’re worth. Now of course, to me I would say this is worth it, but then again, this is where I spend a large chunk of my money.

I know! And let me know if you do x
I never thought about adding it all up and seeing how much money I actually use – in saying that though, the products used aren’t used in one go so I guess it’s not all tooo much 🙂
