How Much Is My Face Worth?



I have seen quite a few people try this blog post and all the ones that I have seen have been quite interesting in the way that they add up at the end. I am going to say now and I will not change it once I have found out the end total, but I think that my everyday school face of make-up doesn't cost that much. I wonder if I will be wrong?

Everyday/School Make-up
Natural Collection Concealer - £1.99
MAC Studio Fix Foundation NW10 - £22.00
Natural Collection Powder - £1.99
Collection No Clumps Mascara - £2.99
Collection Supersize Fat Lash Mascara - £2.99
Avon Colour Trend Plump Out Mascara (Yep I use a lot of mascara in one day) - £4.50
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette - £38.50
Lipsmacker Cherry Cola - £2.00

Total = £76.96

Night Out Make-up
Natural Collection Concealer - £1.99
MAC Studio Fix Foundation NW10 - £22.00
Natural Collection Powder - £1.99
Collection No Clumps Mascara - £2.99
Collection Supersize Fat Lash Mascara - £2.99
Avon Colour Trend Plump Out Mascara - £4.50
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette - £38.50
MAC Mehr Lipstick - £15.50
Seventeen High Drama Eyeliner - £3.99

Total = £94.45

In my opinion compared to some other people this isn't that bad. Yes it most definitely is a lot of money to be spent on make-up but in reality I am more likely to spend money on a coat, pair of shoes or books instead of all high-end brands. A lot of my make-up is under the £5 mark apart from higher end brands like MAC and Urban Decay and I only bought them in New York because they were cheaper there *laughing emoji*.

Skin Types



I always have trouble trying to tell what skin type I have as I normally can't just find a list of 'symptoms'. I have managed to find these tell tales that might be able to help you with identifying your skin type.

Dry Skin
Feels uncomfortable and desperate for moisturiser after cleansing or showering
Feels dry at the end of the day after proper moisturising in the morning
Makes your make-up patchy
Feels sore in cold weather but is aggravated by central heating
Shows fine lines earlier than most people than most in age group
Prone to dullness and flakiness
Feels dry when you wake up each morning 
Small pores

Sensitive
Sometimes feels hot and itchy after cleansing
Flares up easily after using a new skincare
Is more irritated
Can be oily, combination, dry, dehydrated
Can come and go
Is prone to hot, itchy red blotches that get worse if touched
Sometimes angry-looking after a shower
Burns fast in the sun

Combination
Pores are larger around the T-zone
Cheeks are generally normal
The T-zone is more oily 
Make-up becomes patchy during the day

Oily
Shiny
Pores are large and visible
Prone to spots and/or acne
Ages more slowly 
Comfortable when leaving the shower after cleansing (doesn't crave moisturiser)

Normal
Neither oily nor dry
Comfortable, smooth
Small pores

Dehydrated
Prone to dullness
Fine lines
Pinker/brighter/plumper and healthy looking immediately after showering
Responds positively to steam rooms
Feels desperate for product after showering
Sometimes flakes and peels when make-up is applied
Dry feeling lips

I hoped this has helped you identify your skin type or has prompted you towards a different combination.
