How Much Does My Face Cost?

I found this really interesting post on The Mod Mermaid's blog. It's an eye opener for me as to how much I spend on my everyday makeup. I haven't calculated yet, I'm going to calculate as I go about this post. I don't think it will be a lot though, since I usually use lower priced brands, but lets see shall we?

This is my everyday makeup, give or take.. Sometimes I like to change the eyeshadow, lipstick or blush, but usually, this is my look, when I'm completely uninspired. (Sans lenses of course..)

These are my usual makeup products, they tend to change by season, but this is what they are *now*.


  • The Body Shop Oil Free Balancing Foundation- Rs. 1140 (It would have been Rs.180 if I had been using my Maybelline BB cream.. Oh well!)
  • Maybelline Dream Matte Powder- Rs.475
  • Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer- Rs.460
  • NYX Cream blush "Natural"- Rs. 520
  • Faces Eye Magic gel (primer)- Rs.315
  • Revlon Colorstay "Coffee Bean" quad (gift)- Rs.650 (?)
  • Maybelline Eyestudio mono "Iced Fudge"- AUD 12.95 (Rs.750, WHAT? SERIOUSLY?!)
  • Maybelline Colossal Kajal- Rs.150
  • Maybelline Colossal Volum' mascara- Rs.200
  • Color Bar Velvet matte lipstick "Bare"- Rs. 225
  • NYX Xtreme Lip Cream "Buttery Nude"- Rs.380
Total (I don't want to know! >.>): Rs.5265 (95$)
I don't even... That's insane! With almost all drugstore makeup, my face costs that much! *jaw drop* I wonder what people who use all MAC etc have their faces costing. :/
Anyway, I hope you will try this tag too!
