The last couple of months I've been "um'ing" and "ah'ing" over NARS Casino bronzer. Every visit to the shopping center, I find myself thoughtlessly wandering into Sephora (after thoughtlessly wandering through H&M) and floating over to swatch, swaddle, and swoon over the dang thing. Only one, tiny, insignificant (read: significant) hiccup in the plan to rocking instant model cheekbones and a faux chiseled jawline: it is $33 for 16oz. Ouch. But $33 for healthy, glowing, grecian goddess skin? Totally worth it? Maybe? 8 hours ago my just-got-paid self would have squealed in delight as she handed over hours of blood, (watch out for deli meat slicers), sweat (schlepping stock boxes is tiring work), and tears (some customers can be divas) to the cashier. Then while at work (not working) I saw this post on other people's blogs: How much is your face worth? And after doing the math, I'm ready to swear off spending a single cent on more make-up. Even for the simplest and cheapest of looks, it sure does add up. Here we go...
Make Up Forever Smokey Lash $22
Maybelline Stilleto Eyeliner $8
Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm $4
Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Foundation $8
Maybelline Super Say Concealer $8
Revlon Color Stay Mineral Finishing Powder $10
Boots Eye Color Duo $8
Ecotools brushes $5
Total: $73
Ridiculous, no? Alright, your turn. So fess up, how much is YOUR face really worth?
