25 Days of Christmas: Failure Part 2...

I forgot to post again. But I had 2 finals today so that's my excuse. I don't have too much to say today but I'm going to combine day 4 & day 5 into one post because it's just easier. Today I'm going to do a post tag called "How much is my face worth?". I'm doing this because yesterday my mother tried to tell me that I have hundreds of dollars worth of shower products and that since I claim to be a poor college student this is illogical. In my defense, you shower every day (hopefully) so you may as well use products that you like and that work well. Also, I got most of it on sale at TJ Maxx or Bath & Body Works. But my face makeup is another story. I've been collecting makeup for probably about 3-4 years so during that time I've managed to accumulate quite a few products. I didn't just go out and purchase everything I use on my face at one time. So here it is:

Before Makeup

After Makeup

Products I used

MAC Face & Body Foundation: $27

MAC Mineralize skinfinish natural: $29

MAC Studiofinish concealer: $18

MAC Superb Extra Dimension skinfinish: $29

NYX blush in Dusty Rose: $5.99

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil: $4.49

Urban Decay NAKED palette: $48 

Maybelline babylips lip balm: $3.99

MAC Sheen Supreme lipstick in Bare Again: $16

Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara: $19 (although I used a sample)

Grand Total: $200. 47

Wow. I really didn't think it would be that much. To be fair, the NAKED palette was a big chunk of that money and it was a Christmas gift. But still. I used a lot of MAC products on my face for this look, but I change up my look a lot and it is usually not that MAC heavy. That being said, my MAC foundation is actually one of my less expensive ones so the cost of my face could have been even more if I had used a Chanel or Shiseido one. I rarely wear this much makeup on an everyday basis but when I do these are the type of things I gravitate towards.
