Make up prices are out of control
I enjoy make up. It’s a fun way to express myself. I love wearing different lip products, wearing different colours of blush depending on my mood or outfit, etc. I also love finding a great product that does what I need it to. It makes me feel good.
Make up has gotten so ridiculously expensive that I have to save up to buy anything or simply refuse to (or just can’t).
Sephora prices: $50+ for foundation. $32 for lip balm. $98 for an eyeshadow palette. $35 for blush. $37 for a tiny eyebrow pencil. $32 for mascara. The list goes on. Even drug store prices are crazy. Most of items are $15 at their cheapest. A NYX blush is almost $20.
I’m so sick of it because all these brands constantly send free products to influencers. And the amount of product you get in most of these items is tinyyyy. It’s getting harder and harder to justify purchasing anything and it just bums me out so much.
