how much is your face worth?

20 March 2011

I've seen this tag on quite a few blogs recently and saw it as a good opportunity to tell you what my everyday makeup routine involves these days. and so here goes..


benefit dear john moisturiser : £27.06
witch anti blemish primer : £6.99
benefit that gal primer : £20.94
benefit erase paste concealer : £18.89
benefit boi-ing concealer : £16.85
revlon photo ready foundation in nude : £12.99
- sigma duo fibre brush : £9.88
witch pressed powder : £4.99
- elf brush : £5
benefit hoola : £24
- sigma powder brush : £9.88
benefit sugarbomb : £24
- sigma contour brush : £8.65
two faced shadow insurance : £16.50
sleek storm palette - brown or blue shadows : £6.49
 - sigma shading brush : £5.56
 - sigma angled brush : £5.56
 - sigma blending brush : £5.56
eyeko graffiti eyeliner in navy : £5.50
maxfactor false lashes waterproof black mascara : £10.99
rimmel brow pencil in hazel : £2.99
coastal scents 88 palette - medium brown shadow : £11.71
- sigma angled liner brush : £5.56
lush honey trap lip balm : £4.99
elf lip primer and plumper : £3.50
mac innocent beware lipstick : £14.50

     total : £289.63
     total without brushes : £243.86

I wasn't sure whether to do this with or without brushes so i've calculated both. Though to me, my brushes are an essential part of my makeup routine so I think it's only right that they should be included in the over all price.

All in all I don't think that is half bad. Considering the amount of time that these indivual products will last me i'm happy with the amount that my face costs, it's worth it considering what I do to keep it clear by using good quality products.

I'm just rounding off a lazy sunday with some lounging about and the adding of finishing touches to some sketches :) Hope you've all had a great weekend.

  1. You look lovely!

    Haha I love this, I don't think I want to do it for my face though, I'd be shocked how much I spend on it! All worth it though really :)

    I love the font you've used on the photo what's it called/where's it from?

  2. How brave of you to add up your total. It would horrify me to know mine, including skin care. Urgh! The price we pay! I absolutely love the Sleek Storm Palette - I don't/won't/refuse to buy any more eyeshadows as the palette including everything I need! x

  3. Chloe the font is called Pea Noodles Girlfriend. I'm pretty sure that's it anyway :) Just google and you'll be able to find it easily enough :) I was expecting to be shocked by my figure which prepared me for the worst I think. Definitely worth it I agree :P x

    Lol thanks Abi. Yeah the price we pay.. but think about how long certain things last. It makes sense in the long run because most things i only replace every few months or so. Ah I do love the storm palette :) also love my coastal scents one though.. that allows for me to not need anymore eyeshadows for a while for sure! x
