CURRENT MAKEUP REGIMEN
My makeup varies from season to season. I also use really expensive eyeliners (Urban Decay) and cheap ones too (Annabelle).
It kind of depends on what I feel like wearing that day, so I gave general prices of how much I generally spend.
The two products I am always trying to find the Holy Grail of (without silicones) is Foundation and Concealer. So far, no luck.
The rest of it, no problem. I love Urban Decay and Annabelle eyeliners, I like the Annabelle, Mac, Jane Iredale and Urban Decay eyeshadows, Mascaras can be any mascara from the drugstore.
The blush is also not a big deal, I buy drugstore blush, mostly from Annabelle or Tarte, and same with the lip balm, although I have a preference for Burt’s Bees.
As for the lip balm / stick, I use Revlon as my main brand, but I don’t really like wearing a lot of lipstick or tinted colours, so *shrug*

You make me want to try this Tatcha stuff.. *itching to do it* but I know my skin regimen works so I am loathe to change it.

I used to spend a lot on my face but not anymore, because mana expensive products made my alergic skin go mad. .
-I never exfoliate, I just double cleanse în the evening and wash my face with Bioderma gel în the morning.
-my mixed complexion cannot stand serums and breakes up no matter what I use. I gave them up.
-after many and costy experiences with La Mer and the likes I returned to simple Avene, La Roche Posay and Uriage moisiturizers and lotions and I have to say my skin never looked better.
-I never use different face creams for Day and night and I preffer simple moisiturizers to antiage products because the breake mea up.
To sum up, less then 100 euro per month.-

i have gone back to Paula’s Choice as my Holy Grail. Otherwise, I tend to spend a lot of money on things from the brand but that’s about it.

If I’m being completely honest, this is what I use daily:
Tatcha rice enzyme cleansing powder – $78
Tatcha brightening serum – $242* can’t get it in Canada, so I threw the USD in the google currency exchange to get CAD.
Blinc mascara – $30
Josie Maran cheek gelee – $15
Blistex lip balm – $4
Total – $369 before taxes
I have moisturizer for when the weather requires it, and oil cleanser for when I wear more makeup, but I don’t use them daily. I know I should be wearing sunscreen daily as well, but I only wear it on days I know I’ll be outside for an extended period. I also have concealer/eyeshadow/etc… for days I wear more makeup, but 90% of the time the items above are what I wear.
It feels weird to spend so much money on being reasonably low maintenance, but it took me a long time to find products that worked for me, so I have no real desire to change them.
