Eyeliner
I have way too many eyeliners. I know this. I do, I really do — but none of them, thankfully, are as expensive as this Cle de Peau Intensifying Cream Eyeliner, which at $60 a pop would soon amount to… a lot of money. It does come with a liner brush, though, so points for that.
Eyeshadow
Guerlain‘s Mineral Eye Shadow powders may not be the most expensive thing on the eyeshadow page, but at $35 a pop they’re the priciest per colour. (ie. I counted a $40 quad as $10/shade.)If you wanted to go the traditional route, though, I’m sure Guerlain’s Ombre Eclat mono would satisfy your colour craving. There’s just one thing — why does this $34 shadow come in only three rather unattractive shades? I would want the one in the product photo! What a brown, eh?
Mascara
I’m going to assume you all know by now that mascara has a three-month expiry date, right? (And if you didn’t, take note! This one’s important!) So I can’t understand paying $62 for something you’ll use for three months… sorry, Sisely. I just can’t! Your Phyto-Mascara Ultra Facil won’t be getting any love from over here. (you nutters.)
Lipstick (includes stains and liquids)
It’s a tie between the $55 Cle de Peau Lipstick (guys. Boring name.) and the La Prarie Cellular Luxe Lip Colour. Now, I don’t know about the product, but I’m feeling the La Prarie way more — a super-intense name and gorgeous packaging? Sign me up!
Lip gloss (includes gloss sticks or pots)
The best part of this $55
Sisely Phyto-Lip Star Extreme Shine isn’t even the fact that the name refuses to make sense. It’s the fact that, in the description, they boast four shades… but have seven listed. Way to be able to count, Bergdorf’s.
Blush and bronzers
For $85, you could buy a) a new pair of jeans, b) le Metier de Beaute‘s Bella Bronzer, or c) Sisely Paris‘ Phyto Blush. Though, those with severe allergies have only two choices, because Bella comes with a warning that it contains peanut oil.
Sets
We knew the answer to this one even before it was asked — the Bobbi Brown Exclusive Black Plum Beauty Trunk, obviously! We mentioned the $1000 trunk last year, though it was differently packaged back then.
