How much is my face worth?

I tend to wear the same/similar make up everyday, occasionally changing the way I do my eyeliner/eyeshadow colour and then just varying lip/blush combos. Or being really lazy and just wearing a bit of mascara.

This is my face...



And this is my product list (it looks horrendous writing it down; I promise I don't have a cake face!)

Vichy Aqualia Rich face cream (£16); I personally love this for my dry face, last ages and it seems to be massive in Europe. Interrailing this summer it was available everywhere! I prefer this to the Benefit total moisture cream (which to be honest, I am not a fan of and wish I'd never bought it; silly packaging sucked me in!)

Benefit Porefessional primer (£23.50); I haven't been using this long but so far I do really like it, over the summer I've been mixing it with a little of MeMeMe's version of Benefit's high beam I think. The packaging has changed from the one that I have, but it look's similar to this. I'd recommend it as a cheaper alternative!

For concealer my go to is the same as everyone's Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in fair I think (my only gripe with this really is how quickly the writing comes off the packaging, but it's cheap and cheerful at £3.99)

Foundation, at the moment is Dior Forever (£31) in 020 which I've been using for a while now, I adore the smell! I'm really keen to try Dior Airflash spray foundation but I don't think any of the colours are right for me being so pale!

I have been using Benefit's One Hot Minute (£23.50) over most of my face to add a little bit of colour with a tiny bit of Dior Rosy Glow (£29.50) on my cheeks which can look so pretty but can be built up really easily.
Eyebrows I use Korres eyebrow pencil no3 (£8), I've never heard of other people using this but I like this although I have just bought a FashionistA brow kit which I'm excited to give a proper try!

On my eyes I tend to use sin/sidecar/virgin from the Naked Palette (£36). I hardly ever use my Naked Palette 2 and in a way wish I hadn't bought it. Does anyone else feel like this?

I've just found out (when looking for a link) Topshop no longer do the liquid eyeliner I use (sob!) so will be on the look out for a new one, please send any suggestions my way! But the one I use was £6 I think...

I've rebought the same mascara about 3 times now, which for me probably means I do like it, I have a habit of changing things around; Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara (£9.99)

Finally on my lips I have a Boots No7 Lipstick which has been discontinued. It was £8 but there's plenty of similar ones around, just a slight orangey red.

So in total my face is worth... £189.48

Eeek! What's your face worth?

    1. It's actually insane! My skin is rubbish though so I suffer if I use cheaper face products, I wish I could though!

      Its just changing the template photo, it probably depends what template you have; I think mine is 'simple'. I am rubbish at computers so sorry I can't help more!

  3. I dread to think what mine would cost - I only have a few high end products, but I'm sure they add up to a ridiculous amount. Haha.

  5. Your makeup looks lovely!! I love seeing people do this tag but I'm way too frightened by the amount I'd see if I did my own so I've been avoiding it haha For liquid liners my favorite is the sephora collection one so I'd definitely recommend that but I also sometimes use the ecriture de chanel liner if there's no sephora around xx
