£260 vs £60 Make Up Bag

Recently I read an article about how the average woman's make up bag was worth £172! A survey of more than 2,000 customers of Escentual.com found that their make-up bag and contents were often the single most expensive item that many women took out the house with them.



This made me think, how much is my make up bag worth, and could it be cheaper? I emptied it out then compared it to my whole make up collection, suddenly the value went from almost £260 to just over £60. Could you be saving £200 on your make up?


How much is your make up bag worth? Did it surprise you?

Love

  2. I don't know how much mine is worth. But I only have one or two expensive products. So I don't think it will be too much.

    1. Expensive products aren't always the best, i love some drugstore products, everything above i own. I like mixing high end with more affordable products :)

  6. It is insane to think how much money we spend on beauty and skin care products and how we justify it as things we need ha. Love seeing dupes for high end products!
