I've not thought about it and I'll probably be surprised but I wanted to see how much it all costs for everyday- this is not my entire collection.

Primer- Benefit Porefessional- £26
Foundation- MAC Studio Fix Fluid- £23.50
Concealer- Collection Lasting Perfection- £4
Brows- ABH Dipbrow Pomade- £19 but it's gone up recently.
Brow setter- Benefit 24 hour- £20
Eyeshadow- Urban Decay Naked 2 (or 3) Palette- £39.50
Eyeliner- Lancôme Artliner- £23
Mascara- Benefit Bad Girl Bang- £21.50
Lipstick- MAC- £16.50
Highlight- ABH Aurora Glow Kit- £41
Make Up Revolution Contour- £8

So my everyday look costs in total... £242 ShockBlush

Anyone else willing to tot it all up and share/cry?Smile

I have a real issue with makeup and buy something almost daily. I have drawers full of the stuff and would hate to tally up what I actually spent on my whole collection. Just now I have 6 foundations on the go, numerous blushers/bronzers and hilighters, the only thing I use daily without fail is my mascara everything else gets switched around swapped out daily. The best of it is, I hardly look like I’m wearing a lot of makeupz

I had a handbag stolen a few years ago and totted everything up for insurance. The total claim was over £2.5k and nearly £400 was make up, brushes, bag, etc. I was utterly gobsmacked (it did include repairing the window I had to smash to get in and replacing my car key) but the insurance adjuster barely blinked. He said it was not an excessive claim and put it straight through for payment.

I’m mega aware of it now and try and keep things under control but have just roughly added up the bag under my desk and come to an insurance value of £3.5k! Bonkers.
