What's the value of your Make-up bag?...

Source
According to research carried out by Debenhams the average British woman carries a whopping £265 worth of make-up in her handbag!Their research was based on women carrying 13 items averaging £20 each.

Well no offence intended here but if the average british woman shopped at debenhams for all of her make-up then yeah i can totally see this being true,but im not convinced the 'average' british woman does and why would she when its always more convienent to pop into superdrug and get a trolley (ok, I know they don't do trolleys....they should though!) full of amazing brands such as Barry M,MEMEME,and GOSH !

This did get me wondering what's the content value of my make-up bag...

(This post was planned pre pro lumire so i wont include it.)








Bourjois Healthy mix foundation £9.99

MAC face and body foundation (for a mixer) £23.50
  (Paid £15.25 because of MAC pro discount)


VIE glowing beauty highlighter pen £12.75


MeMeMe blush me! £8.50



MeMeMe Correct and perfect concealer kit £6.99



Rimmel lash accelerator mascara £8.99


Barry M Supersoft eye crayon £4.59



YSL Touche eclat £25.00



Bobbi Brown lipgloss £14.50


TOTAL WORTH... £114.21 
TOTAL ITEMS... 9



so my everyday make-up bag worth and item count ranks alot lower than the average woman according to the research from Debenhams, even if i had the average 13 items and *each additional item cost me £20 I would still be £70 lower than average!!,although it is still a pretty pricey bit of kit to be carrying around with everyday especially when you think that my camera cost nearly £30 less than that,maybe its worth looking into some insurance....

* You could get two Ombres perlees de Chanel with that! Maybe I should consider joining the ranks of the average woman!!!!!

  1. love this post, i don't think my makeup bag is worth that much, maybe my whole handbag though with my phone and other things inside lol..

    i did a post on my makeup a while ago and although i have bought many more things since i think it ranges from £80-£100 with some expensive foundation i have brought and other little bits recently and some new mascara's i seem to keep things i dont use often in there too lol
