As I started to get a bit more budget-conscious and fill my home only with things that make me happy, I started to think about how much money I spend on my makeup and skincare routine. Listing out all of the products I use almost daily made me kind of depressed but I also know that skincare and beauty products are things that I actually enjoy and I would rather pay money for a good product that makes my skin happy. I've listed all of the products and makeup along with their prices. These are all things I use on a regular basis and I love them all.

I admit this is a lot of money to spend on my face (and I didn't even include the sheet masks I wear). I had to take a step back and remind myself I didn't buy all of these things at once and I don't replace all of these things at once either. I also had to re-remind myself that these products used together are a part of self-care. I love feeling good in my skin and it makes me happy so if that is the price I pay for that feeling, so be it.

I'm too scared to add up the cost of my face! I will say that I like to stick more to drugstore products, but I love to splurge on higher end eyeliner, mascara and face powder.

It's always so interesting to see these types of posts! I think because we usually buy skin care or makeup at different times, you don't realize how much it adds up-- I'm definitely with you on spending a bit more on products that you know will work.
