In last week’s #SpendingBan chat, Gaelle (Lipstick Ergo Sum), Hannah (Midnight Violets) and me decided that we would all do a shared ‘how much is your face worth tag’. I did one of these in my early blogging days and decided that it would be interesting to only compare totals after writing this post.
I generally mix my makeup up on a day-to-day basis but for the purpose of this post, I picked out my current most reached for products.
So here we go….

Total = £156.82
I had a jaw-dropping moment when I looked back at my previous post and realised that my previous total has increased by a huge £61.84! If I had substituted a few of the cheaper products for high-end brands then my total would be close to £200!
Luckily I know that most of these products were purchased with an offer or as part of a set and I didn’t pay the full price but this post has made me glad to be on a spending ban because I really should be making the best use of what I already own rather than adding to the collection.
Make sure you check out the posts from the other two ladies, I’m curious to see how my total compares!
Great post hun! My taste for expensive foundation really pushes up my total! I didn't realise that Garnier roll on was so expensive!
ReplyDeleteFab post, I'd love to do this myself, however I switch up what I use on my face everyday - this is because I am trying to make sure I use all my collection and dont neglect items! I fear how much mine would come to!

Seeing that your amount is close to mine makes me feel a bit better! But I agree, still a scary amount!
ReplyDeleteI love these How-Much-Is-Your-Face-Worth posts. I'm always surprised at my totals when I know I paid nothing nearly close to that.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have felt worse if I had paid full price for everything, I’m glad there are no tags to total your whole makeup collection!
ReplyDeletehaha, I know I am so pleased mine wasn’t way out compared to you and Gaelle!
ReplyDeleteI forgot too until I looked up the price, at the time I got it on a 2 for 1 offer though….not sure I would pay £10 again x
