The answer is too much!
I have saw this tag/style of post float around in the beauty community for years now
but never actually sat down and tallied up just how costly my much loved beauty products cost
and my gosh do I regret it now haha!
Anyway on to my products and the final cost...eek!
Urban Decay De Slick - £19
MAC Oil Control Lotion - £12.50
Dr Jart + BB Cream - £18
YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation - £28
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - £3.99
MAC Studio Finish Concealer - £14.50
Benefit Porefessional - £23.50
MAC Lipstick - £14
L'Oreal Lumi Magique Concealer - £8.49
Benefit Sun Beam - £18.50
Tarte Amazon Clay Blush - $25 = £15.75
Balmi Lip Balm - £4.99
Avon Supershock Mascara - £8.50
GRAND TOTAL = £189.72 (yep i'm disgusted with myself)
as others have pointed out that it really boils down to the cost per wear so at the very least each product
should survive a full month (realistically more) so per day at the very most it works out = £6.33
which isn't too bad and most products will last much longer than 30 days!

I'm not one for tags as I'd hate anyone to feel excluded
so if like me curiosity gets the better of you and you do end up doing some beauty math
feel free to link me to your post in the comment section and make me feel better about myself haha!
I thought yours might've been higher than that as you have a lot of lovely products there! Mine wasn't as high but still shocked me that it's in triple figures uh!
ReplyDeletehaha i'm glad it wasn't just goes to show it's obscene how much we all spend on cosmetics...eek!
DeleteOh Lord! I'm afraid to do this :S
ReplyDeleteI dare you ;)
DeleteLove this TAG!:) And btw. what do you think about YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat foundation?
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely :) I really enjoy it :) if you search for it in my search box you can read my full review :)
DeleteI did mine and it was less around £160. I saw some tags that were in the 200s so don't feel bad xx

That's not too bad all things considered :)
DeleteI've just done 2 of these that im going to post up soon.. my everyday face make up was £123... and my evening look was nearly £300!!! i was shocked/digusted with myself lol!!
ReplyDeletexxxx
Oh gosh haha :) can't wait to see those posts!
DeleteOh, that's not as bad as some I have seen! And (as I have noted on other blogs!) it's the cost per wear so what products are you gettin your money's worth from? :) xo
ReplyDeleteI'm glad ;) ah i've just added that after you pointed it out so based on 30 days wear it's really not too bad after all :)
DeleteI am far too scared to do mine although intrigued as well. I think I'm in denial about the amount I spend on beauty products - I'm a sucker for a new product haha x

haha you and me both
DeleteI'm sorry, but I think this tag is kind of weird. It's not like you're putting 300 pounds of make-up on your face in total every day. You use a tiny bit each time. So in order to calculate the cost in all fairness you should estimate how many times you're gonna use the product....and then divide the cost of the product by that number. That will be a more realistic amount!
ReplyDeleteIt was just a little fun, not really to be taken serious.
DeleteThe reason I did it was to basically shock me into waking up and realising
just how much I splash out on make-up!
I've now added the use based on 30 days and it's not too bad :)
It could have been worse!! I lovee the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder!
ReplyDeleteSophierosehearts x
You are so right it could have been :)
DeleteI wish you could do a FOTD wearing this so we can see how it all looks....does the mac oil control work...?
ReplyDeleteI'm working my way up to those, i'm just quite shy in that sense.
DeleteYes the oil control works to some extent but I do feel there is much better products out there it's just that's what I have and I hate wasting products haha :)
I think I'm going to try this even though I know the answer is going to shock me.

I honestly can't wait to see :)
Deleteoh my god ! haha mine was only around 50 pounds ! you have some really gorgeous looking products there though ! ( not going to lie when i saw the balmi lip balm i thought it was a tomato )
ReplyDeletebusyxbees.blogspot.com
Haha you are so right it looks like a little cherry tomato :)
DeleteOh my gosh... I can't believe how quickly it all add ups.. I really don't think I could face adding mine up! x
ReplyDeleteIt does doesn't it but I'm glad I did it, it's made me realise I slap on far too much haha!
DeleteOMG! I don't want to do it... No... I really don't want to know it U_u
ReplyDeleteBut... Yours is not that real, most of the products will last much more than a month!!!
Beauty math is too hard for my little brain!
Deleteomg great post!

LOVE the post title! Great post :D xx
ReplyDeleteI hate you, you h,ave a tarte blush and i havnt lol.x
ReplyDeleteHave not h,ave, dam phone.x
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to think about how much mine is, I am ridiculous with makeup
ReplyDeleteMine is under £100 which is pretty good :D but I am very basic when it comes to every day, one a night out it would be A LOT more! You can see my one here if you like :) xx
ReplyDeleteGosh you just don't think how it adds up but wow over £100.00 for me.
ReplyDeletehaha judging by my FOTD lists, mine would be quite up there too xD
ReplyDeleteLOVE this tag! I definitely will do this sometime! :D
ReplyDeleteUGH, I'm in trouble, I fear! I just added up only my foundation, powder and blush and already broke $100. I'll take your divide by AT LEAST 30 to make it more palatable!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is terrifying - I think the overall cost isn't that bad, it's when you divided it into what it costs a month that is scary! £6.33 per day seems crazy because you wouldn't pay someone £6.33 to give you a makeover every day! x
ReplyDeleteI recently did the same tag and got a higher total! Totally ashamed of my high maintenance ways...but not enough to actually change :P >http://theconfectionmonsoon.wordpress.com/2012/09/05/tag-how-much-is-your-face-worth/
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to doing this tag actually! :)
