Even if I had all the money in the world, there would be NO WAY I would splurge on these items!
KissKiss Gold and Diamonds Lipstick
It’s made with 110g of solid 18-carat gold and 199 diamonds (2.2 carats in total). The case can even be engraved with your name or a personal message. This lipstick case is so SERIOUS it comes with a black lacquered wooden case to store it! It also includes a lip brush and black suede pouch. And don’t you fret, the lipstick case is yours to keep. It’s refillable! This baby costs $62,000!!
Essie Nail Polish: “I Do”
Essie Cosmetics, Platinum Guild International (PGI) and British platinum supplier Johnson Matthey, all collaborated to make this polish. “I Do” is made with powdered platinum, and the bottle which was created by PGI and designed by Henry Dunay is made of—take a wild guess—pure platinum. The platinum bottle of “I Do” is valued at $55,000.
Socialite Collection Mascara
The mascara was offered for a limited time as part of H. Couture Beauty’s Socialite Collection. The smudge proof, water based mascara came in a luxurious case covered with 1,000 hand set Swarovski crystals and topped with an 18k gold plated cap. Along with the mascara came a concierge service which included a lifetime supply of refillable mascara tubes. The Socialite Collection, which also came with a tube of lipstick also covered with Swarovski crystals, had a price of $589.
Get this, there was one customer, that didn’t think the case was fancy enough—and so a custom case bedecked with 2,500 blue diamonds was made. Complete with a similarly treated pink diamond tube of lipstick, this unique version of the Socialite Collection cost its buyer 14 MILLION FREAKIN’ DOLLARS!!!
Lovelies, If you had the money would you splurge?

guest
stuff like this is a waste time/money to make, nobody’s gonna buy it.
guest
spending money frivolously like this is not glamorous – it’s sinful.
guest
It’s not even the product itself that’s expensive and really made well, it’s just the casing. How pointless.

Absolutely not. I can’t imagine any makeup item reasonably costing more than $30. Really, how far do you have to ship something, and how special do the ingredients have to be, for it to be worth more than $30? Anything more has got to be pure snob appeal. (Well, all right, platinum is a “special ingredient.” But it’s only there for snob appeal, so.)

Mmm, the mascara and lipstick combination for $589 is not bad at all.
guest
Um, all I gotta say, is that I hope the people that are buying those lovely products are enjoying them immensely.
I would probably kill for 14 million dollars.

guest

guest
if I had the money I’d buy but never use it and just put it in a glass case to gaze at.
guest
If I had the money, I would definitely splurge once.
(*That mascara looks the best out of all three.)
