Hey Everyone!!!!
Today is a special blog post on the “How Much Is My Face Worth Tag”! I saw this tag all throughout the blogosphere, and since I am slated for another Fashion Fanatic tomorrow, I have decided to try it out. I found this very interesting, as I have never concentrated on the price on my makeup since I have accumulated my collection for the last 3 years. However, Once I did this tag, I realized how much time and money actually goes into my daily beauty routine. Let us start now:
No Makeup
Both of these pictures are taken of me right after I took a shower. My face was cleansed using a Neutrogena citrus facial cleanser and some organic makeup cleansing wipes. While my skin is pretty clear at the moment, I have very bad hyper-pigmentation on my eyelids and my undereye area. I also have very bushy eyebrows (I know, I need to wax, but I haven’t had the time).

All in all, I spend over $171.43 in makeup on my face, and that is not including brushes. I was astounded by how much my daily makeup routine cost me, however, I realized that we invest a lot of money into how we present ourselves. On that note, I feel that in this particular photo, I prefer my non-makeup face to my makeup one, but in real life, I prefer wearing a little makeup.
As a little note for this blog post, I just wanted to say that every single person who reads this blog should look themselves in the mirror and say “I am beautiful” until they believe it, unconditionally. The only “ugly” things in the world are personalities; beauty is found in all. I think that all of you are beautiful.

P.S. For this week, I will be doing a few more Fashion Fanatics, makeup tutorials/fashion tips for homecoming, and a GIVEWAY!!!!!
I prefer you’re no makeup face ❤ That being said, I think that a little makeup can do a lot for a person. Too much makeup never looks good! (unless it's meant to be theatrical)
Also, please ignore the “you’re”, it should be your, but i’m buried in stat homework, lol!
I totally agree! I sometimes can be a little heavy handed when it comes to applying my makeup, and I had just reapplied when I took this picture. Thanks for the comment and I hope you finish that stat hw 🙂

You look beautiful in both! My last youtube video I touched on that a little bit. I did a review for a skincare product and that was something I closed with. It’s important to feel beautiful under all the makeup and after it’s all washed off. 🙂 Fun post!

You look gorgeous doll, make-up or no makeup!! We are all beautiful when we love who we are!! I see make-up as dressing up, not covering who I am really 🙂 xx
you look so pretty both ways! 😀 Sometimes, I feel like taking a shower, cleansing my face, and just wearing it clean. That always feels good at the end of a day. And other times, the opposite: Like KizzyDoll said, makeup is art, and its the best way to express your true self. 😀
