How Much is my Face Worth?
I've been really into writing beauty posts lately, can you tell? As I've been seeing this "tag" floating around the interwebs for quite some time, I thought I'd give it a go because for one, I have no idea how much the make up I wear daily is going to come to... So let's find out!
The Base:
+ Primer - Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer // £5.99
+ Foundation - Revlon Colorstay Foundation 'Buff' // £12.99
+ Under Eye Concealer - Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer // £7.99
+ Concealer - Natural Collection Cover-up Cream // £1.99
+ Powder - NYX HD Studio Finishing Translucent Powder // £8.00
+ Setting Spray - Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray // £22.00
Total: £58.96
The Eyes:
+ Eyeshadow Primer - Benefit Air Patrol // £21.50 (I only own the mini which was free)
+ Eyeshadow - Urban Decay Naked Palette // £38.50
+ Mascara - Benefit Rollerlash // £19.50
Total: £79.50
The Cheeks:
+ Contour - Benefit Hoola Bronzer // £23.50
+ Highlight - Sleek 'Solstice' Highlight Palette // £9.99
+ Blusher - Natural Collection Blushed Cheeks // £1.99
Total: £35.48
The Lips:
+ Lip Balm - The Body Shop Born Lippy in 'Watermelon' // £2.00
+ Lipstick - Kylie Lip Kit 'Posie K' // £20.34
Total: £22.34
The Brows:
+ Pomade - Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade 'Taupe' // £15.00
Total: £15.00
And now for the scary part...
GRAND TOTAL: £211.28
Yikes. That's a lot of money for an everyday face. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed cos y'know, takes a lot to look this cute on the daily.
For those wondering, yes I use the original Naked palette most days and yes, Posie K really is my absolute my go-to lipstick. I actually need to calm down using it before it runs out... Or I could just buy myself a dupe. I'll just buy myself a dupe.
If you've already done this tag, link me below as I'd love to see how much your face is worth too!
On the other hand, if you haven't done this then go ahead and add up all your make up, I guarantee you're in for a shock.

DeleteAw I love this! I am scared to do mine haha! I don't spend to much on make to be honest it's just lip products!! Mainly Mac!! Haha! Xx
ReplyDeleteThrifty vintage fashion
You should definitely do it, it's actually quite fun! x
DeleteSo happy to have discovered your blog today, it's absolutely amazing! I love this beauty post, hadn't heard about this tag before, but then again, I'm not at all a beauty specialist hehe :D Love the collection you own though, and I most definitely agree make-up is worth its price! I stopped wearing cheap make-up ages ago hehe. Actually ever since I worked over at Chanel and got loads of make-up for free, and I can assure you it's literally impossible to switch back to cheap make-up now haha. Anyways, just started following on Instagram lovely, keep up the amazing work!

Thank you! I know right? I was pretty shocked. It doesn't seem that much as you're buying it but it really does add up haha. xx
DeleteFor my most BASIC face, it costs around $270!! which is around 180 euroes! If i include lipstick, mascara, blush...it would be so much more! Luckily these things last long, eh?!
ReplyDeleteMacarons and Mischief
Isn't it crazy?! x
DeleteIt's amazing how quickly it all adds up! I've never done this tag but now you make me want to! xxx
ReplyDeleteJasmine || http://www.blogsallbeautyy.blogspot.co.uk
Definitely hahaha, you should do it! :) x
DeleteI ALWAYS think about things like this and it really is crazy how much makeup can add up!
ReplyDeletebritishmermaid.blogspot.co.uk
Haha totally! I was thinking about doing one on the skincare I use daily and brushes too... Dread to think what that'll come to. x
DeleteHahah, I absolutely love this tag! Haven't done it by myself yet, I'm kind of scared how much my face would cost :D

Aw thank you, that means a lot.
DeleteHaha I know! I was shocked to be honest. x
It's insane how much make up actually costs when you put it like this I loved having a peek at what is in your make up bag mainly cos im just a little bit nosey!I'm so obsessed with the anastasia dip brow pomade but mines is starting to dry out with loads of product left *crying emoji* x
ReplyDeletethechinadolldiaries.blogspot.co.ik
I love these posts because I'm nosy as heck too! My dipbrow has dried out in places but I keep finding new patches that still work fine. x
Deletehaha wow that is a lot! I love posts like this because I'm so nosy haha! You don't realise how much it all comes to at the time because it's just £10 here, oh just £15 for that...but when you add it up it's quite scary! Very tempted to find out how much my face is worth now!

Haha we can be nosy together! I loved your post lovely x
DeleteThis is a great idea I might try it myself! I do not use a lot of high end products so I guess that my face will worth less than that, hopefully!
ReplyDeleteImagine if you had to add the brushes? haha

I actually didn't realise that I used so many high end products on a day to day basis until I did this!
DeleteI was planning to do another based on purely brushes and skincare, yikes. x
I love love Posie K! One of my fave shades! I looove your daily makeup, so much I want to try in it! x
ReplyDeleteTamz | http://www.throughneweyesx.com
I adore Posie K, such a beautiful colour! x
DeleteI loved this post and am so going to try this myself! Posie K is such a gorgeous shade; I am jealous xo
ReplyDeleteEmily | emsalice.com
I'd love to see yours gal! x
DeleteI'm still too afraid to make the calculation for myself, haha ;-) But hey, beauty is an investment, right?? :-)
ReplyDeleteHahaha I dare you to do it, it's not as scary as you think! (I'm totally kidding, it is scary) x
Deleteoooh i love the look of that sleek palette! I'm like a magpie when it comes to gold!
ReplyDeleteI dread to think of the amount my face is worth!
sos jealous of the fact you managed to get hold of a kyle lip kit!
love, roz xx

The packaging is so beautiful, right?! Haha do not be jealous, those darn lip kits made me skint for a whole month. x
DeleteIt's surprising how much it all mounts up to be really expensive, I didn't think it would be more than £100 tops if I'm honest. Too scared to work out my own now haha
ReplyDeleteEmily x | emilyclairewrites.com
I know me neither, I think once I added on the eye make up I was like... Ok, this is gonna be expensive haha! x
DeleteI love this idea! It is quite crazy to see how much it all costs, but it worth it because it's the products you love, so why the hell not?!
ReplyDeleteLove Vicki | victoriajanex.co.uk
Exactly! I use them daily so evidently they're worth the cost hahaha. x
Deletehahaha that was such a funny and unique post!! The total cost was a bit surprising haha I'm curious as to how much my face is worth! But yeah, you'r right, looking cute takes effort! x
ReplyDeleteAriadna || RAWR BOWS
Hahaha thank you! x
DeleteOh dear, I'm afraid to calculate mine after seeing this haha! I use mainly drugstore products though so it's possible I'd stay under two hundred... I don't want to know. Also, that Sleek highlight palette is THE palette of the year.

How amazing is the Sleek palette? Ugh, I love it so much! x
DeleteI am still quite scared to work out exactly how much my face is worth, I just know it will give me a shock.

Thank you! x
DeleteI love reading posts like this one, and even though I've read enough of them to know that the end price will be quite high, I'm still always shocked when I see the final total haha! The Sleek highlighting palette looks gorgeous btw :) xx
ReplyDeleteToasty
Oh I was the same don't you worry! The Sleek palette is incredible, highly recommend it to anyone. x
DeleteI enjoy reading posts like this because you never realise how much 'your face is really worth' and I think if I done this tag I'd be super shocked! This was such a great post to read beaut!

You should do it too hehe, I wanna see! x
DeleteHello lovely! Reading this has inspired me to write my own how much is my face worth and I'm glad because my current ideas just weren't wowing me! I'd love to ask how you take your photos? Like what you're using and are you using a marble sheet or is that just a really nice table??? - Maria | BeautyMatters
ReplyDeleteOh girl I wish I could afford a marble table! It's just a sheet of sticky back plastic from eBay, only cost me a fiver! x
DeleteI am soooooo scared to do this for my face! I use a lot of similar products! I love this post so much!! x
