5 Makeup Products That Cost More Than GOLD


Hey Everyone!

Over the course of the past month that I have started this blog, the most eye opening thing I have learnt during this process are that some prices of make up products cost more than gold! Even though I only have 8 brands in the Price Per Ounce Database right now, I've noticed that certain products such as brow pencils, eyeliners and lipliners have similar to higher prices than precious metals!

    Oh my God! That is horrible. Honestly, I don't really go for the crazy expensive makeup anyways, but after seeing this I'm totally convinced that it isn't worth it! Those companies must be laughing and throwing up their money in the air while people buy their products without a second thought.

      Haha, It's a hard reality check as a beauty addict! This totally taught me to buy what I REALLY want, and like you said "giving a second thought". Glad you enjoyed the post ;)

      Yeah I totally agree! Once I finish off the brands that are available at Sephora, I'm excited to see what the price per ounce of drugstore products, and see how they compare!

    TOo expensive. They may have a good quality but I believe there are other better products more worthy with the price.
