How much is your face worth? | TAG | ♥

I've seen the "How Much Is Your Face Worth" tag circulating the internet for quite some time now. I thought I'd see how much my face is worth on an average school day. To school I wear neutral makeup and all of it is drugstore therefore I wondered what the overall cost of it is...

BASE
L'Oreal Paris Infallible Foundation (porcelain -I'm a pale girl) - £12.29 
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer (shade 1 or 2) - £4.19
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder (silky beige) - £3.99

EYES
Rimmel Glam Eyes Quad eye shadow (sun safari) - £6.99
MUA undressed pallete (matte brown on eyebrows) - £4 
Miss Sporty Just Clear mascara - £2.99
Miss Sporty Studio Lash Liquid Liner - £2.79
Natural collection eye lines - £1.99
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Liner (white)- £3.99
L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara - £10.99
No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara - £11

CHEEKS
MUA Blush  (shade 4) - £1
Rimmel Sun Shimmer Compact Powder (light matte) £5.61
Maybelline Expert Wear Blush (Rosewood) - £5.19

LIPS
Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm (pink punch) - £2.99
Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer (celestial) - £6.49


school makeup look (taken from instgram sorry about the edit)

£86.99!
My drugstore school look total's almost £90.
In someways, this seems ridiculously high considering all the makeup was drugstore and it's only a light, natural look. However, when I consider the fact that a high end foundation is probably around a 1/3 of this price tag I think it's amazing how my drugstore makeup provides me with a look I like for a fraction of what a high end makeup look would cost.

How much is your face worth? Do you use drugstore or high-end make up?

Thanks for reading :-)

Yellow nails? | NOTD | ♥

Today, I was planning on writing my 'Fashion Pick of the Week' post, but my Microsoft Office won't work, so what can you do? So today, it's another nails post and it's a pastel yellow colour :-) 


Ring from Pandora


I didn't really know what to make of yellow nails... do they look like smoker's nails? or pastel and summery? I'm still unsure, but painted them anyway and surprisingly got a few compliments on my colour choice. Maybe it's an exception. This is an AVON nailwear pro+ polish and I love the formula. Personally, I think it applies well and lasts around 3 nails with no chips, that sounds like nothing, but my nails are AWFUL for chipping and usually do within the hour... so 3 days is pretty sturdy. This is the colour Lemon Sugar. It's grown on me, to say the least.
