No! That's not what I'm wearing today!!! LOL
There have been some interesting posts going around lately where bloggers have revealed how much their daily makeup actually costs. It seemed like a fun idea so here's my post on the cost of my weekend daytime face:
Today I wore the basics for a natural daytime look:
- Revlon eyeshadow quad (Tickled Pink - Limited edition) - $26AUD
- YSL Touche Eclat (2) - $55AUD
- MAC Powerpoint eye pencil (Bordeauxline) - $32AUD
- Maybelline Lash Stilletto mascara (Black) - $19.50AUD
- Bloom Lip Gloss (Sweet Pea) - $24AUD
Total cost: $156.50!
That surprised me because somehow I was kidding myself it would be a lower figure. I'll have to do a comparison with a weekday working look because I know that's gonna be really scary! The real challenge now will be to come up with a budget makeup look and see how low I can go without sacrificing quality.
How much is your face worth?
Until next time.

$156.50, wow!
ReplyDeleteI think mine was just over 60!
I'd love to see a budget makeup look. :)
I'll take on the budget challenge - I've got to kick my addiction to the Touche Eclat and find a good INEXPENSIVE concealer/highlighter!!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid of doing the calculations!
ReplyDeleteScary and you haven't even included big ticket items like foundation... :-)
ReplyDeleteVita I heard neutrogena make a good dupe for the ysl. Try eBay or glossi.com.au
ReplyDelete@Beauty Addict - I dare you to do the numbers! ;)
ReplyDelete@Bini - I actually don't wear foundation very often, I usually just go with a combination of concealer and some sheer powder - unusual for a makeup junkie, huh? Thanks for the neutrogena tip, I'll check it out!
I adore Lash Stiletto! Oh my goodness, I would hate to think how much my daily makeup costs!
ReplyDelete@Kaz - You should do this tag too! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm certainly suprised! But I shudder how much mine costs... Do you count the price of a whole palette? Example: Urban Decay Book of Shadows?? (>,<)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that is a wicked fun idea! I'm curious now how much my face is worth ;)
ReplyDelete*EEP* shows how much us ladies spend on makeup here in Au hey?! Great post!
ReplyDelete@The Green Fairy - Yes I do count the cost of the whole palette unless it's refillable!
ReplyDelete@Dainty Darling Digits - I'd love to see how much your face is worth! :)
@Jadegrrrl - Thanks and I totally agree! It costs lots of $$$ for us Aussie makeup maniacs!
I would be too scared to even calculate it! lol I think a woman does end up spending 90% of her earnings on makeup and clothes! crazy xx
