How Much is your Face Worth?

Posted by Rebecca

I saw this post on Kim's blog and thought I'd do it too, even though I dread to think how much it will amount to. It's a great idea to see how much you actually spend on makeup and to see how many products you actually use on a daily basis. So here goes...



1 - No7 lipstick in Nude Rebellion - £10
2 - Collection 2000 Big Fake Flase Lash Effect mascara -  £4.99
3 - L'oreal Superliner - £6.19
4 - Urban Decay Primer Potion - £12
5 - Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation - £9.99
6 - Bourjois Bronzing Powder - £6.99
7 - Benefit Georgia Blusher - £23.50
8 - Urban Decay Naked palette - £32
9 - Mac Cream Colour Base in Pearl - £13.50
10 - Avon Super Shock eyeliner - £3.50
11 - Lacura Concealer Pen - £3.50
12 - Models Prefer eyebrow pencil - One of my mum's friends gave this to me, I have no idea where it's from
13 - Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer - £4.19
14 - Maybelline Dream Matte powder - £7.19

Total - £137.54!!

It is quite shocking to actually see the figure! Although I do buy most things when they're on offer so I'd like to think it's a bit less (hopefully!), and some things were gifts. I do change products most days, so I dread to think the cost when I'm using a more expensive lipstick or mascara!

Thanks for reading, and check out Kim's post here. How much is your face worth? I'd love to see other peoples. Do you think this is excessive? Please leave your links in the comments so I can read them.

What's in my Bag?

Posted by Rebecca

My Bag


This is my current bag of choice, I've only had it for about a week. It's from Zara, the basic range, and was £39.99. I really like the colours and the style of bag, I think it looks quite Mulberry esque and more expensive than it was. Excuse the bad blurring, I'm not great on photoshop, but I didn't think my neighbours would appreciate being in the shot! 


It also comes with a detachable should strap as shown above. The inside is a brown cotton fabric with a large pocket on one side and one small closable pocked on the other with card holders next to it. Anyway on to the purpose of this post - the contents...


As I've only had the bag for a week or so it hasn't become too clustered yet! I have the basics things - phone, purse, keys, oyster card and some others. I know the brush I carry is for backcombing but it's much smaller and lighter than my other brushes so is easier to carry around. I have the latest copy on In Style magazine which I picked up today as it has a free £5 Body Shop gift card which the lovely Claudia told me about (if you haven't seen her videos of blog do check them out). I also have a notebook from paperchase for endless lists and ideas for my blog. Some boring things - a hair tie, painkillers, chewing gum, hand cream and sanitiser.  On the left you can see my mini Denman brush which I thought was so cute I had to purchase, attached to that is my Tesco clubcard (glamorous!) and Starbucks card. On to the best bits, I have two perfume samples, a mascara sample and so far only 4 lip products (I tend to build up a stash in my handbag over time). There are more shots of those below.


My purse is Mulberry and I got it on Bicester Village outlet last year. It's a muted pink leather with gold hardware. I am quite disappointed the gold is wearing off already after only about a year of use, I was hoping and expecting it would last a few years, but nonetheless it still does the job and I like it.


So onto the beauty things. I didn't have much with me today, I usually carry a foundation and powder too. I like to carry the perfume samples as they're so much lighter. I have the Gucci Guilty and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle sample, I do have the full size Gucci but not Chanel - I'm still deciding if I really like it or not. Then I have a Barry M Lipgloss that was in one of the Impulse sets. I have the Maybelline colour sensation lipstick in 109 Rosy Dream (shown in my last post). A No7 lipstick in Nude Rebellion - which came out last year some time as part of a limited edition collection, it's a nice matte nude colour which I don't find drying at all unlike some other matte lipsticks, I hope they bring it our again sometime. The final is a Mac lipstick in Fresh Salmon, I bought this in SparklemissA's blog sale last year (visit her blog and youtube if you haven't already, she's great too). Finally I have a miniature Lancome Hypnose mascara which I got in a gift set at Christmas. So that's the very exciting contents of my bag! It seems strange writing this as it seems so dull to me, but I love seeing other people's so hopefully this will be interesting for some of you!
