Today's SBBC challenge is encouraging me to talk about my most expensive piece of makeup, but instead of talking about my most expensive piece of makeup, I am going to use the opportunity instead to take part in a fun tag which I first spotted on Makeup by Lauren Marie if you haven't read that post yet, check it out here. Basically you just add up the cost of a face of makeup- or the cost of how much it takes to apply a full face of makeup. I am almost afraid to tot this up because I think it will scare me senseless but I am going to justify any figure by cost per use and make myself feel better. Just sayin'!
The products above are fairly typical of a Saturday night face for me, and even though I do not wear the same makeup every Saturday night, it pretty much always involves some version of a smoky eye and a pink lip. I do tend to mix higher end products with drugstore or highstreet items so this would be an accurate reflexion of the balance.
Make Up Forever HD Primer- €30.50
Estee Lauder Double Wear (I am choosing not to include the price of the pump!)- €32.59
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer- €8.99
Yves St. Laurent Touche Eclat- €35.50
Catrice Allround Concealer Palette- €3.99
MAC Studio Fix Powder- €31.00
Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel- €38.50
MAC Soft and Gentle Highlighter- €28
NARS Blush in Deep Throat- €30.00
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Immortal Charcoal- €7.49
Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner- €22.00
Urban Decay Smoked Eyeshadow Palette- €40.00
Soap & Glory Lid Stuff Eye Palette in Smokey Dokey- €14.50
Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara- €22.00
ELF False Lashes in Natural Black- €1.70
Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm- €11.50
NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Blue Rose- €2.99
Total cost of my Saturday night comes in at:
€361.25
Well that has me well and truly depressed to think that just one of my looks costs over €360 to create if I had to go to the stores/go online to pick out products now. That seems like such a big number, and in my head I didn't think it would be much over the €200 mark!
So with my head held low, I tag ye all to do this and just see how much buckaroonies your face costs you!
I am going to do that tonight! Slightly scared but excited as well. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
