How Much Is Your Makeup Bag Worth?
Cosmetics

Since I was fourteen years old, the main category that all of my money goes toward is makeup. Throughout the years, I've upgraded to some high-end products, but I also have drugstore favorites that I've been sticking to since the beginning. I tend to buy makeup in mini hauls, averaging at about $30-$50 per haul.

But, I've never stopped to think: how much is my entire makeup bag worth with all the products inside?

When I totaled every makeup product I own, I felt like breaking into tears. But, it's a great eye opener in how much money we've actually spent on every product our own. I encourage you to try this out, in an attempt to see how much you've spent, and how you can budget your money more wisely (without cutting out makeup completely!) But, so you don't feel bad, here's the total worth of my makeup bag.

1. Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation: $7.99

2. Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation: $7.99

3. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: $6.99

4. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer: $8.99

5. e.l.f. High Definition Powder: $6.00

11. Jordana Retractable Easyliner: $2.49

12. Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner Pen: $22

13. Morphe 35O Eyeshadow Palette: $22.99

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
