How Much is Your Face Worth?

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’

• Garnier Micellar Water £3.29
• Garnier Toner £2.09
• Simple Kind to Skin Replenishing Moisturiser £2.79
• Botanics Hydrating Eye Cream £8.99
• Max Factor Face Finity All Day Primer £10.99
• Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation £7.99
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer £5.49
• Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19
• Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder £8.99
• Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzer £5.99
• Model Co Blush £15
• Revolution Ultra Sculpt Contour Palette £3
• Maybelline Colour Tattoo £4.99
• Miss Sporty Eye Shadow Quad £2.99
• Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner £7
• L’Oreal False Lash Sculpt £9.99
• Collection Divin Volume Lash (for bottom lashes) £4.99
• Mac Lipstick £15.50
• Maybelline Baby Lips £2.99
• Elizabeth Arden Eye and Lip Cream £26
• Merumaya Youth Preservation Moisturiser £31.50
• Garnier Miracle Sleeping Cream £8.66

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.
