Make Up is Expensive!


Spazz

Recommended Posts

I rarely wear make up. Seriously, maybe 5 times a year, if that. But I know I should wear it on my wedding day, so I made plans with my girlfriend to go to the MAC counter tonight, get a make over, buy the stuff and she's going to re-create the look for me in Jamaica. I was planning on spending between $50 - $100. Ummm...$140!!! Seriously?!? I can't believe how much that stuff costs!

I walked out of Sephora yesterday having spent $152!!! OUCH! I have been broke lately so I had run out of foundation, powder, lipstick, etc.. I finally got a good commission check this month and was sooo excited to go get my makeup back! lol

 

Although I must admit I did splurge on this amazing skin care treatment by Kinerase ($85). I had received a sample of it and my skin was just AMAZING on it. When I ran out I could really tell the difference. I went and looked up the moisturizer online and it goes for $75!! I ended up finding a variety "starter" pack with it in there for only $10 more so I got that.

 

But yeah, makeup is very expensive. I have one "expensive/formal" foundation that I use sparingly (Georgio Armani = $50) and one for "everyday" use (Bare Minerals = $25).

Duh! I didn't even think of that. Oops!

So true liz. The stuff cost to much! I only wear it on special occasions so the good news is that it lasts me a really long time! I have never finished a tube of lipstick and it took me like 5 years to go through a compact of shiseido blush. Dont even talk about powder or stuff like that! I break it before I even get half way through it. Just think of it as an investment to all of your future special events.
