Tag: How much my face costs, what's in my makeup bag and quick NOTD!

Hello everyone,
I had seen a few people doing these tags, and I thought it would be really interesting (but kind of scary) to see how much my 'everyday face of makeup' cost me!
This is what I generally wear when I'm going to school or if I'm not doing anything much at the weekend (if I'm in a rush I don't always bother with the the primer/eyeshaddow/




Primer: Elf mineral infused face primer £6.00

Foundation: Revlon photo ready £12.99

Powder: No7 creme touch £9.00

Concealer: Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer £3.69 and Benefit erase paste £19.50

Mascara: Maybelline Define-a-lash mascara £8.19

Eyeliner: L'oreal superliner luminizer eyeliner £6.49 and The Body Shop eye definer in brown £8.00

Brow Pencil: No7 beautiful brow pencil £8.00

Eyeshadow primer: Benefit lemon aid £16.50

Eyeshadow: No7 Stay perfect eyeshadow in Wheatsheaf and Mink £8.00 each- £16.00 and MUA heaven and earth pallette £4.00

Highlighter: Barbara Daly glow up highligher £7.50

Blush: The Balm frat boy blush £13

Lipgloss: Benefit ultra shine lip gloss £14.00 or MUA lipstick (I use different colours each day but mostly shade 14 or shade 10) £1 each

Total= £154.86!!!

Wow, I am actually shocked at this! I never,ever thought it would be over £100! This is actually quite embarassing and I don't even have any high end products here (unless Benefit counts?) I am officially back onto my 'makeup spending ban' now! I have so much makeup that needs using up before I go and buy any more!

This is what I take with me to school in my school bag everyday aswell- incase you were interested!



And this is what makeup bag I use. I got it around two years ago- I have used it literally every single day and it hasn't broken! I love Cath Kidston accessories and they have never let me down!


And finally this fine glitter that I ordered off eBay a couple of weeks ago came today! I have tried it out on my little finger and it looks so cute!




Thankyou for reading this and have a lovely day ♥

    "how much my face costs" haha! Wow I dread to think how much mine is! I don't really spend a lot on makeup; I'd rather buy Bourjois over Bobbi Brown, but maybe that's just a poor student thing ha. Great post love your makeup bag x
