I butdget for $50-100 monthly on beauty products. Really depends on if a nice collection has come out or if I'm out of something. Some months I spend nothing.

Recently I've only spent about $20-40 a month

I spend about $100 a month, it really depends on what comes out/my bank roll/and my current obsessions and needs!

hmmm... depends... i usually switch from fashion to makeup and vice versa each month... for example, i spend some of myy spare money in fashion this month then i won't be bothered buying makeup this month... but next month, i'll spend some in makeup and not in fashion.. if i do spend some in makeup, it would be around AU$100-200... twitter : myystiqueen forum : same email address (username: myystiqueen)

i spend about 50 to 100 a month on beauty products usually unless there are sales or colloections i really like coming out!

At least $100. I need help!

I spend about $50.00 a month but not by choice,If I could my whole paycheck would go straight to beauty products.

about $10-20 a month. you may call me a cheapskate but it's worth a bit much in my country.

On average, I spend abnout $150AUD a month :) Subscribed by email :)

oooh! i wanna win! :) twitter: jamienator rss subscriber email: jamienator@gmail.com

it varies so wildly from month to month, i cant even give an estimate! but at my peak i was spending at least a couple of hundred a month...now of course i try to slow down, but obsession is obsession :P

I average $200/month *yikes* twitter renie82 rss subscriber

I've definitely cut back on my makeup splurges, so I keep myself to about $20-$40 a month. Subscribed & Twitter'd (kirstinkthx)

YiKes !!! about $100-200 a month i hope .. although im pretty sure i did major splurge in July probably between 250-30 =/ lol RSS SUBCRIBER

I spend around 50 a month on make up and sometimes more... :) Thanks! twitter: t3ssac

400-500 dk kroners. Twitter: pernille89

$100-$200, easy -- depends on launches, etc

i spend about $100 a month. if I had a job it would be way more than that! twitter: mytiaraglitters rss sub!

varies, but somewhere around 50-100

Oh yah... I get ur rss feed anx i follow u on twitter @niknasty

Depending on collections coming out, how often I go shopping, and how many makeup tutorials I've watched on youtube, I usually spend anywhere from $50-$300 a month on makeup an hairstyling products. I feel like I can't resist chic little compacts full of highly pigmented cosmetics. My weakness lately has been Chanel and YSL. I really need to learn how to appreciate what I have and not buy anything that tickles my fancy lol

I spend about $200 a month...yikes, I know!

Well, I would have to say $100-$150 per month! Which is not good considering the fact my allownce is $100... so uhh yeah! The things we do for beauty! :) Twitter-SaracaB

I spend about $50-100 a month. It really depends on whether MAC has new collection coming out or not and whether I go to the mall. I tend to spend a lot when I go to the store because I see so many cute products I want and I just can't resist! Twitter: ebluegurl

I can only spend $50 per month, and that also includes bath&body products, and I do research a lot before buying something. I hardly buy clothing or accesories or perfume, I tend to go a long time with a bullet wardrobe. I'm a cheapskate :P Forum and twitter name is "beslap".

I'm trying to keep it to £50-£60/month! subscribed to rss twitter: missmoofy forum: moofy

I don't spend as much as I would like to on makeup, i'd say I spend about $40-$50/month. I try to save for collections that i'm interested in. On a no buy right now, saving up for MAC's style black. twitter: panivino rss feed subscriber

i usually spend around 20-30$, if im lucky, but i usually dont spend unless its limited edition or on sale or something special. because if i can save up for something or if i can wait a while before purchasing it, then ill wait. :)

i used to spend A LOT of money when i first started getting serious about makeup(a year ago). Lately though, i've felt that i've got almost everything i need so i've been spending less. But i'd say about $50-$100 when i'm actually buying makeup that month. Twitter: PinkPoutBaby RSS Sub. Forum Username: PinkPoutBaby

I think about $20-$35 average per month. But whenever I buy, I usually buy a big bunch of items. So I'll go a month or two (or three) without spending any money and the month after that I'll suddenly buy for $50-$120 and stock up on things. This is usually when a brand I use is having a special offer/sale or when I am actually near a store/counter of a brand I use.

around $100 a month. some months more, some months not at all.

i spend about $50-$100 in average per month...hehe ~_~ twitter = fyafish rss sub

I always have big hauls rarely haha. Average per month would probably be $20. twitter: dR3AMii

It depends on the month and what launches are coming out! But if it is an average month, probably $30-40. I RSS and twitter: shonntew Thanks

it really depends on whats new on that month.

I spend about $200 per month and I would spend more if I could forum: nicolle

Since there's no MAC store or counter where i live i have to wait for my MAC splurges.. When there's and F&F sale I like to spend a lot and every time i see a MAC store i have to go in and add something to my collection.

I would say with skincare and everything about $300.00... It is hard to say though I really LOVE beauty products so it could be more!

I tent to spend anywhere from $40-100 per month on beauty products...more if there's a collection I've been looking forward to and I've been saving up my money for. twitter: sweet8684girl; rss feed subscriber; forum name: sweet8684girl.

Far too much, really. I usually spend about $100-$400 a month. Occasionally more.

Twitter: BethanyvH Same email used for forums and RSS. I tend not to spend any of my own money, but instead as for vouchers to Myers (the only store to have a MAC counter in Brisbane, Australia) for my birthday etc. I used $120 in vouchers to pay for a MAC tech workshop this month.

On average, I spend around $50. Some months I'll spend a lot more, and some months, I'll just buy one product or nothing.

I spend around $50, it depends on the collections. Twitter: ConBdeBelleza Email subscriber Forum member: Mixty

Some months I can't help myself and spend almost 200 bucks, and then I feel guilty and don't buy anything for a while... It depends on which MAC collection is on, too. I guess it makes an average of 50 bucks(70 including beauty products other than makeup) a month. twitter: journeytoithaca

i cant afford everything i want to buy but i try to get everything i want when a collection comes out but not usually, last time i spent 74, but on average 60 to 120

umm... I think I spend from $100 to $250CAD a month... twitter: marianitamc rss: subscribed

I spend around $ 50 on most months. However I do spend a more money on special occasions and when I have giftcards and such. Twitter: thatstreschic Rss subscriber
