Have you ever spent $50 on lipstick? How much money would you spend on skincare?  |
|
What's the most money you've ever spent on one single lipstick or tube of lipgloss? Would you spend a $100 on an anti-wrinkle face cream?
When I was in my twenties, I spent all my money on beauty care and face creams. Not to mention closets full of clothes. Those were the days! I can't do that kind of thing anymore. My priorities lie elsewhere.
Sometimes I miss being able to splurge on big ticket cosmetics and skin care.
Once I bought a skin care item that had a retail price of $100. That was an amazing product. I can't even remember the name, now. But it was so amazing. It lasted forever and the texture was so creamy. I miss that stuff!
What's the most amount of money you've ever spent on skincare or cosmetics?

2. gemini_rose (10159) | 2 years ago | I have never had that time in my life to look back on, never had the chance to blow money I had earned on anyone else but myself. I had the chance to be able to do that but I blew it and ended up pregnant at 17, a Mum by 18 so all my money has always always gone on everyone else but me.
I do get sad sometimes when I think about it, I would love to be able to go shopping and think of no one else but me and just have a really good shop. It would be brilliant!

beautyqueen26 (9133) | 2 years ago | Hey don't worry about it. Looking at things from the opposite side I can see how selfish that I was with my money.
Many days I wish to have back even one tenth of the money that I wasted in my youth. I was so vain about beauty that it is ridiculous.
Noone needs as many clothes and lipsticks as i had. I do fine now, being a mom with my mineral makeup and one dollar ELF lipgloss and Suave shampoo bought for a dollar at the local grocery store.
I look just as good. And, all my "extra" money, goes into my little girl in the form of toys and food.
I'm so much happier now than I was then.
You didn't miss a thing.
However with that being said, there's no reason you couldn't get some nice bath and body stuff for a ten dollars and indulge in a soothing hot tub bath.
That's my one big luxury now and it makes me feel so pampered and special. I get out of the tub feeling like a brand new woman.
For me, time is the biggest thing that I miss since becoming a mom, not money. I don't have money! At least not lots of it. I wish I'd been smarter and saved for my future.
I'd be in much better position now. But I'm happy. I have her. She has me. And, we make it work. Be well. Have a blessed day!

3. Goodie123 (7548) | 2 years ago | I am not a big spender when it comes to cosmetics. The most I would have paid for lipstick was $10.00.
The face cream I use is Nivea, it is only around $10.00 also. I find it works as well as some of the more expensive brands.
I was lucky to have been given bags full of sample packs of nivea from my niece. So far I have refilled my container 3 times, And still have at least enough to refill it 2 more times.

beautyqueen26 (9133) | 2 years ago | Oh, you're so lucky! I love freebies and samples too. Can't wait to get a new stash of goodies in the mail.
I've always got something new to look forward to.
Thanks for the recommendation on Nivia.
I've heard about it for years,but never tried it.
Be well!

4. laglen (3821) | 2 years ago | I would never spend that on skin care or lipstick. I was blessed with good skin so I just use cheap lotions. What I do splurge on, is every year on my birthday I buy myself 1 oz of Ysatis perfume for $50.

6. gr8life (4402) | 2 years ago | Hello beautyqueen26,
As for a single lipstick, the most that I spent was like $30. I loved buying cosmetic products, perfumes and clothes but like you, my priority changed after getting married (maybe after getting more matured...) I don't like to spend too much now. Whenever I feel like splurging on luxury items (for myself), I will think of my child and how good it is if I put the money into his account rather than spending for something that I don't really need.

7. salonga (4673) | 2 years ago | I've always been a wise spender all my life so I will never spend that much for just a lipstick. The most expensive lipstick I had was $10 and it was not bad anymore because it already met my need. I do also spend for my skin care but I never buy the too expensive ones. Anyway there are also good products that satisfy but at affordable prices. In order to maintain good skin the best way is starting it from within and that is through healthy food intake, lots of water and as prevention we have to avoid too much sun exposure, smoking and using products with alcohol.

9. wondericequeen (4413) | 2 years ago | Probably not $50 on lipstick or lipgloss because I don't see why that has to be that expensive. But for skincare, I would spend maybe a maximum of $150 on a single product if its technology interests me. I don't often spend that much on skincare, I tend to switch between expensive and non-expensive products.

10. SheliaLee (1335) | 2 years ago | I sell BeautiControl cosmetics and since I am a consultant I get my products at a discount. I'll have to admit that my husband would want to "shoot me" LOL if I spent that much money on any type of makeup or skin care product. I get anywhere from a 30 to 50% discount so the most I usually have to pay for something is around $10 to $20.

Well, that and clear skin!
Thanks for your post. Be well.
