How much is your collection worth?

[greengoesmoo]

I counted my nail polishes to be worth approximatley £3000 (I do however have EVERY single bottle I have ever bought over the past 15 years, which has not been used entirely up and only one pair of double (clear, but different brands)) so my collection is very ecclectic, the most I have of the same brand (with the same bottle) is 18.

Other make up of ALL kinds maybe £300/£400 all togther.. (including brushes and 5 Dali perfumes!! <3)

I have oily skin and coffin Joe lenth nails, so it's a very easy choice for me.

Agreed.

 

[choozen1ne]

MAC is probably around $5000 maybe more , OPI around $3000 , the rest another $3000 -
Holy Jesus I have over $10,000 in beauty products
I could add the cost of my insane Coach collection and really give my self a reality check

 

[tthelwell]

My entire makeup collection plus brushes, skincare and nail polishes is worth over $20K....

HOLY CRAP!!!

Factor in my PRO Discount and gifts...I've spent over $10K...I don't want to play anymore THX!

I got as far as my two filled MUFE pallets and decided I dont really want to know. Those came up to $400 alone... *smh*

Hmm probably not that much, being a student and all doesn't leave much extra $$ for makeup. I'd estimate around $600-800. Haha this reminded me of one of the lectures in an enviro class I'm taking... after I'd bought a bunch of stuff online I went to class to be lectured on how if us North Americans even cut our annual spending on makeup by 1/4, we could tackle illiteracy worldwide, or by 1/2 could provide clean drinking water & sanitation globally. Made me feel pretty guilty, so I've tried to cut back on my spending by mostly shopping LJ sales, craigslist etc! :S

Honestly, I'd rather not know!! lol

did inventory last month and I was at $17,000...all MAC


*note* I don't collect for the fun of it lol, I'm a full time artist.

IN the $300 to $500, but I'm good at swapping!

 

[Courtney <3]

just my mac makeup is 204.50 without tax.
but i have alot of other brands, i love love love urban decay.
since its so late im not going to total everything up, but tomorrow after work i will! and now that i have a job, with a macys right down the street that sells mac and a sephora too, more money will be spent!

 

[iheartmakeup412]

In MAC around $4,900 not including back ups, skincare, and items I'm back to MAC'ing. $390 Nars $630 MUFE $160 smashbox $60 urban decay. $750 vanity and storage. I have lots from nyx and other drugstore brands also probably adding up to about $500. So my collection is worth an estimate of around $6,890. Wow not as bad as I thought.

 

[Lyssah]

mine's $12,000 (AUD).

The reason mine is worth so much is because in Australia we pay crazy inflated prices like $32.00 for an eyeshadow that costs $14.50 in the US.

 

[bad girl glam]

i have over $5500 in my kit that i have spent so far and i really started buying makeup for my kit in Sept 09. before that, it would have never added up to that amount. i'm still collecting though, but i'm a professional makeup artist and esthetician. i have spent a ton in skincare products and equipment as well.

 

[phatkat]

ive spent about $2000 on MAC (thank goodness for B2M) and have spent way more at sephora!! also have my drugstore stuff... aaargh.. i have given myself a weekly allowance! but im always going over

 

[Soeth23]

When you guys calculate how much it's worth...do you count what you paid or how much it would be to replace? Do you take into account the price of rare stuff?

 

[LC]

i count what each item costs at retail brand new. i think putting a higher price tag on discontinued or limited products would be more of an opinion that would change from person to person

 

[Senoj]

It may be under $1000 about $800. I don have that much Mac but now that I have the Mac pro card I know the amount will go up.

 

[bkgirl03]

I'm afraid to put and actual number on it. But, I would say around $3000.

Re: How much do you ladies estimate you've spent on your entire make up collection???

You should be asking people who collect baseball cards or something else. If it makes you happy, then you shouldn't worry about how much you spend on it.
