well i spend about $40 dollars and research alot before i buy
yikes. I wish I was better about it but I probably spend about $200…..in a good month. Gotta do better about that! I’d love to win…thanks Christine!
I think I spend about €200 A month on Beauty Product but that includes deodorants, bodylotions, showergel and such. I also Save money and every ones in a while I go to MAC to spend it all 😛
My budget for beauty products is steadily growing. For a month, I try to limit myself to AT MOST $40-$50 a month. I plan on dropping a pretty penny this weekend though on new collections, stuff I’ve been holding off on, etc… oh beauty, you run my bank account dry but I love you! 😛

I am a mom of 4 so my budget is more limited (living off one income only). I spend about 50$ a month. On special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays or mother’s day/V-day I do ask for gift cards to MAC/Sephora so I get to spend a bit more on those months. =)
Hmmm…Probably around 400-500. My husband better not see this post LOL :-))
About 80 euros a month I guess. But in june I spend 300 euros on beautproducts 😀

I probably spend about $150-200, a month. However, I live in Brasil, so multiply that value for 2, and you have my real spending!!! OOps!!!
I spend about $300 a month, but can sometimes go up to $500 on products. I’m trying to cut down on what I really need versus just spontaneous, impulsive buying. Hahaha, this is why I go to this site! It’s better to do your “homework” on beauty products these days. =)
well personally i wish i could spend much more – but i think its around 10-75 per month

I’m a careful spendthrift. I really love this site to help me plan my purchases (swatches & reviews). I have been averaging a ridiculous amount of $ spent on makeup over the past few mos. OMGoodness! sigh…
Like $200 a month. Did I just type that? Good thing my hubby doesn’t read this forum. LOL
i spend about $20-40 a month. something i don’t spend any.
probably around a $100 depending on my needs for the month and if there’s a big event coming up. definitely do a lot of research before spending though 🙂

Anywhere from $100-$200 depending on new launches or my need to replace used up items. However, months where there are big things like a MAC F&F sale or Nordie’s Anniv. Sale, the spending goes up a bit higher.

I spend anywhere from $0 – $400.00 on makeup products per month. I either do no shopping at all for anything (hence $0) or I do shop like once or twice and spend $100-way too much on makeup. Bc of my health, I can’t often get out to shop. I’m subscribed to your RSS, TWITTER (Kella86) and FORUMS (Kell) 🙂
Around $40. Wish I had more to spend so I could drop some cash on this.

not as much as I would like but more than I should. generally I save up and spend in larger amounts when collections I am excited about come out.

Too much, definately :> About half of the money I get each month… But that’s addiction, right? 😉
last night I got liquid fountain(mineral) I have been wearing the powdered kind and I wasn’t liking the look of it lately so I’m trying something new, I loved the way the girl put it on and the look was so pretty and flawless, then I got the setting powder as well, I meet up with a frineds and she has a PRo card I coudl have saved $$$ but oh well next trip will be a big one haha, (I’m on twitter as well glamcandy2) last was about $55 and before that was another $20 so all in all I woudl say with nailpolish and makeup about $100-$300
I’m lucky if I can even spend $30 a month on beauty products not including stuff like shampoo and soap of course. I try to only get things I really really want but still miss out on alot. MAC Style black will be an exception though ^_^

i have variable budget every month. if there are lots of collections going out, i might spend more, say $200-300, otherwise, i might be a bit stingy to save for the later months.
Every month varies but on the average I’d say I spend around $100 a month on beauty products (mostly makeup) and it drives my husband insane.. 🙂
I spend about twenty dollars on beauty products a month (Garnier hair products, new drugstore items) except for when I spend upwards of 50 dollars on makeup alone after saving up. 😀 Right now I want Black L’Oreal HIP loose kohl, Navy L’Oreal HIP loose kohl, the new Revlon liquid lipstick in Sienna something (anybody try those yet? I’m looking for a satin finish DRUGSTORE coral lipcolor, and I thought the Sienna shade might do the trick) and I’m lemming a few eyeshadows from L’Oreal’s Wear Infinite line. These shadows ROCK and are nothing short of discounted MAC.
Around $50 a month! Ok, so all my friends think I’m crazy for spending that much since most of them have 1 foundation and a lipgloss, but then seeing how much everyone spends here makes me feel better. Then again, some months I do blow a lot more. =) RSS and twitter: kajalcouture

oh boy, an average per month? maybe $300.00 due to the fact that MAC has been releasing collections left & right. But i’m feeling good about this month. So far, i’ve only spent $150. Half of what i usually spend 😉

I enjoy following the newest collection and all, but I don’t buy much for myself unless I really really want it. So I say $20-30 a month.
If i include skin care then it’s easily over $200 a month.
it obviously depends on the month, but on average some where around $300 YIKES. . . I guess it all adds up fast
Twitter: angelzlilone
It really depends on the month I guess. When there’s no collections from mac, I spend less but not much less. I try to get one thing a week (when I’m in school) cause it’s a reward for me time and getting through another week at school. Oh and tests I splurge a little more.
Probley about $50 – $100 a month on makeup (that does not include nailpolish skincare stuff, pedicure manicure products etc)
To much I would say but I don’t buy clothes alot so this makes scence (right now I’m doing project 10 pan (50 items though) so at each 10 I’m getting one item so 5 all together. Downsizeing my makeup collection a bit, which means I’m going to buy more makeup to fill it up.

It varies quite a lot, if I splurge one month I will be conservative the next. I’d guess maybe $150?
my first purchase at mac was over $200… now that i somewhat got the things i need (ie. foundation, powder, blush, and some basic brushes) i am budgeting myself to $50 but not over $100 a month…
I probably spend about $125 per month
It varies a lot, but around $40 per month.
I don’t spend as much as some people, but more than most. lately it’s been not a lot, but last month it was a lot, so on average maybe 80-120? 4x a month between 20-30 each time; sometimes more if i am restocking or less if i have just hauled. i follow you on twitter: poizenisxkandee and RSS subscribe via my gmail.
previously ~100, nowadays 40 :o/

For me personally it depends on what collections are coming out and what sales are going on. July is going to be pretty high with all the Nordstrom exclusives coming out tomorrow, but other times it’s not so much. It can be anywhere from $30 to $300.

I have a serious addiction to beauty products and trust me blogs like yours do not help! If anything it adds fuel to my fire, a very smokey eye and glossy fuel that is!
I always tell myself – “no makeup this month” but here I am making sure I have a good $100 earmarked in my account for the Nordstrom Fall preview sale where I’ll be sure to pick up the new NARS palette and maybe the MAC brush set? Who knows. All I know is to hide my purchases from my husband!
I can easily spend $15-$80 a month on beauty booty! Sad especially when you add that expense to the diapers/formula expense for my daughter!
i spend like maybe $100. sometimes more when there is a special going on, or a new collection
For me it really just depends on the month. Sometimes it will be $20 sometimes it will be more than $100.

It varies each month and it depends on what I need or think I need and what comes up with each collection. Sometimes it is 0-$20 CAD a month at the least and at the most it is probably about $50 to $200. I try to back to back lip glosses, lipsticks and eyeshadows whenever I can to save money.
I think lately it’s been about $150 or so. I’ve been so bad lately!

About 100 EUR a month

God, i hope my husband never sees this, i think on a monthly basis I average around $150 some months way more, depending on Mac Collections….. they are killing my budget! Scarey thing is if i could i would spend more easily, been cutting back every month though.
i spend about $150 on average twitter: CinderellaHope
I’ve been spending $150 but need to cut that back. I’ve assembled a good eyeshadow collection so am trying to not buy that (couldn’t resist the MAC Colour Craft Eccentricity shadow). I am a sucker for discounts (like Friends and Family or CCO) and GWP.

Less than 20 a month, but that’s only when I’m just buying things on impulse. When I plan stuff (esp. for high end), it’ll be like around 40 a month.

On average I’d say $25/month. It’s a little more if a MAC collection is out and when my Clinique supply runs low. I love my Moisture Surge.
I only spend about $50, because I honestly just don’t have the money. When a new mac collection comes out, I usually only pick 2 items because that’s all I can choose.

I think I spend about $50 a month, unless a new collection comes out that I really like then it ends up being about three times as much!! I’m trying to budget myself…
It depends on the collections of the month from MAC… hehe… it can be from $14 (just for a lipstick) and up to $200… lol… but i try to stay under $100. Otherwise my hubby will devorce me. hehe…

I spend about $50 each month on purchasing makeups.
I don’t buy many high end products, or wear all that much makeup on a daily basis, so what I have tends to last. It probably comes to $20-$30 a month on makeup/skin care/hair care. I’d definitely spend more if I had it though. :p Ah, the plight of the college student…

No more than 100 bucks. Hubby has put me on a budget. *sigh*
Way too much. It’s time for me to cut back, unfortunately.

I try to be very thrifty with makeup and only spend a large amount on products that I know will be great and will last a long time. For things like sparkly shadows and lip glosses I’ll go budget, but for foundation, brushes, lip sticks etc, I’ll go for quality. That being said, I’m a makeup artist and I’m trying to build up my kit, so I’m spending around $150 a month at the moment. Very restrained, I think.
I spend about $75 a month on average. Sometimes much more, but some months nothing so this is about the middle.

$150-200. Trying to cut back though, but MAC makes it so hard not to buy when they have collections coming out practically every month. Planning on going to MAC tomorrow to buy some l/s’s and DG’s from the Euristocrats II collection and some foundation.
I usually spend about $100-$150 a month depending if there is not a major collection. if there is a big collecton a.k.a hello Kitty could be more!

I spend $40-$50 I think depending on the month and what I run out of or new stuff that comes out.
Sometimes I don’t buy anything in a month but I’d say it works out to be $50-$100 / month. I went crazy and bought $300 worth from MAC because I hadn’t bought any since the end of December!
Hmm, that’s hard to estimate as I go in spurts. Probably averages out to maybe $30 a month?
i would say i spend around 150-200 each month, but it depends

Around $100 a month (OK, maybe more, but I am not going to think too hard about it, or post it where hubby can see!!
I just got into makeup 5 months ago so there has been a lot of things I thought I really needed. For the past five months I’ve been spending around $200 – $300 CAD per month on makeup based on recommendations I see on youtube or people’s blog posts. (crazy I know, I have 10 mascaras stored away since everyone keep on raving about different mascaras so I decided to just buy it all) Now that I have all the products that I “need” I will starting cutting down on my spending. THis will be really heard since I’ll be visiting Asia soon >< I’m trying to limit myself to spend around $100CAD per month on makeup products.
I would say that I spend anywhere from $50-$200 in any given month because I have really cut back on how much i buy.
About 300 on a good month…150 on a bad month LOL
in the first six months of 2009 I spent around $250-$300 (that I can remember, including skincare and postage for swaps, etc EVERYTHING) on beauty products for myself. last year I doubt I spent that much on beauty products for myself the entire year, but more than $100 this year was from MAC Hello Kitty. I have no idea how much per month but I am probably cutting back because I went crazy for the HK collection

I agree with Trix above – not as much as I would like, but more than I should. It varies from about $50 to $200. Usually around $100.
I would say I also spend about $40 a month
Twitter: GlamazonBeauty
$70-$100… it goes so quickly… and I wonder from month to month, how did I do without this before?
Normally, I don’t spend over $100, I only go when a new collection comes out and I limit myself.

Something like a makeup addiction started only this year (youtube is largely to blame), and I’ve been spending about $100/mo on beauty related stuff. Before that, I hardly ever bought makeup, and still only wear it once or twice a week. It sure is a FUN hobby though dolling up your face!! Love it.
probably about $100-$200 i dont think ive ever realy thaught about this lol
Wow, it depends on if there’s a good MAC collection out. I’d say on average– $50 a month. I think.

I do about 100 dollars a month:)

It really depends what im running out of because i usually purchase makeup in hauls and that only happens once or twice a year. So i guess if you avg it out over a year’s period its about $10-20 a month!

I’ve just started spending more on cosmetics. Use to spend next to nothing, but now can easily spend $100 to $200 a month. Didn’t realize it until you got me thinking about it!! Good grief!
probably about 200-300. trying to cut back but its so hard to find motivation to do so!

I spend about $100 a month, my monthly allotment from my hubby! Sometimes I will not spend the entire hundred if there is not a great new collection out, but lately I have been to my local MAC once a week!
I really don’t know. I go shopping a lot but I never buy a lot. Probably $100-200. i spend pretty much all of the money I make working my two jobs.

i spend about 150 dollars per month on beauty products and that would be make-up and skin-care hal half.
I can’t post the amount for I fear my husband will see it! : )
I spend around $200, maybe $300 if its a bad month!

Anywhere from nothing to $50, depending on the month.
I been really wanting to try mac eyeshadow. Sadly with me being a student I have a fixed spending budget and only spend about 10 to 20 dollars a month. Thanks so much for doing this.
Umm.. depends. I’d say on average $50.
I actually don’t spend too much on beauty products each month because I need to budget my money before I go to college. Usually I’ll go to the Mac counter and only walk away with one thing.

It varies, depending on the month and my stress level, but it ranges from $50-$200. The Nordstrom anniversary sale really did me in this month though!

Like everyone else I spend more when a good collection is out (about $150.00), but on an average I spend about $30.00 a month which includes impulse buys.
I am obsessed with make-up and beauty products and spend about $500+ twice a year (when collections come out); a true guilty pleasure. Otherwise occasionally just buy a new lipstick or foundation for refill as I need it. Howver, I think that comes to less than most people on the forum… Lol
Twitter: tudawood
Probably spend around $50-100 a month on beauty items. Would be higher if I wasn’t a stay at home mom. =)
I try my best to keep it under $200 a month!
Probably half of the money I get. To be honest, it depends on the collections that come out in any given month (MAC and otherwise) – but as much makeup as I have, I can’t resist buying new stuff/trying new brands.

I probably spend on average about 60 bucks a month. it just depends on what’s new and all that. Last month was bad for me (about $800). This month has not been as bad, so far only about $200, but Love that Look is still coming!

I spend about $500 sometimes even $600 a month depending on what collections are out at the moment. Most of it is spent on HG products and backups of LE’s that I mustn’t run out of!

depending on a good month i can spend a little over 100 but otherwise maybe 50 to 60
I would say between $50-100 a month. Sometimes more, but that’s the average. And I’m not working right now, so I cut back in other areas.
I spend about $50 per month, but I’m trying to cut down because the times are bad.

I spend on average of $150-200 on makeup per month. It really depends on what MAC or other brands have coming out that month. Sometimes it is more but I usually stick to no more that $200.

I spend anywhere from 100-200 a month on new collections or something I want. When it comes the things I need including the craves, it doubles.
Thanks for the giveaway. Since I am a broke student, I don’t spend much on makeup, but if I do I sure make it worht my while. I will sometimes buy an eyeshadow when a new MAC collection comes out, but I mainly try to stick with what I have and try to hit pan before I can justify buying anything new. Last time I did some hauling was when MAC HK came out.

hmm… depends on what’s being released and what has run low in my stock. I’m not a try-everything person so I go with classics and a few newbies or limited editions. I’d say $50 in a low month or up to $250 in a spree…
probably 50-100…sometimes more depending on the month/collections 🙁 boo

About $20-$75 monthly depending on the collection and the type of product I’m buying
This will probably be a good, instant reality check for me.
From June 16th until now, I’ve spent approx. $530-600 on cosmetics.
Eep! Pressed the submit button too fast.
In my defense, my larger spending habits are only triggered by things such as a bad bout of recent health issues lately. It lends me a guiltfree excuse to splurge a little and I tend to convince myself I “deserve” that new lipgloss as a pick-me-up.
Twitter: Kiraling
$100-$300 Depending on if any new MAC collections are out.
oh dear. i’d say it varies from $50-$350. I buy a lot of Lush and MAC. and recently having sephora open nearby, i bought the fusionlash growth for $100 bucks as well as stocked up on mineral makeup worth $100. and i cannot forget my 25% off mac haul about $100. not to mention i am always running out of the neccessary products like cleanse off oil and mascara. and i didnt even make my colorcraft haul yet LOL!
I spend from 100 to 200 dollars per month and this really needs to stop! 🙂
On average, probably about $20.00. Not a lot, but I don’t have a lot to spend, lol!

I spend around $80 per month on makeup. Sigh…
I would estimate that I spend about $150+ a month…but the amount is steadily increasing. I keep finding new items from MAC that goes onto my “To Buy” list. Clothes shopping money has now turned into makeup money.
I usually spend about $100 in a month, on average.
I spend anywhere between $50-$200 a month depending on my lemmings and the MAC collections!!!

Unfortunately, money has been tight so I’ve had to cut my spending back to around $40.00 a month. Before, I could easily have spent $100.00 to $150.00 a month on makeup.

I spend about $50-$100 a month on makeup.Trying to keep up with the “guru” on youtube is killing my pockets:) I buy a lot of high in products as well as low end. I just love makeup! I do some research on the higher end products that I buy, but not on the lower end products. I just go into the drug store or beauty supply store and if I like what i see I’ll purchase it.
Zero I think. I don’t have much money and don’t go shop usually, but some month I spend about 10 USD or less, haha

my average range of budget for my beauty products is 30-50 dollars (if we convert it from peso). It varies monthly depending on my need or want.. Additional expenditure is also made if i saw a new cool product in store.
I think almost USD$100 per month, mostly spend it in makeup products. But if that month MAC released some collections I love, my spending can reach to USD$300. Just can’t resist it. LOL

I don’t spend much every month. Some months I go without buying, but yesterday alone I spent $60 at MAC and another $25 at WalMart for makeup. Just depends what I need in a given month. I’m with everyone else though; I wish I had a bigger budget for cosmetics!
I usually average about $50 – $150 a month, I would love to spend my whole paycheck but I gotta feed the kids, the dog, the cat, the bunny & the fish!
I spend about $200.00 per month, depends on what MAC or Channel puts out 🙂
opps got finger happy I know its CHANEL lol
Per month? that’s hard because it all depends on what collections are out and etc. but on average i spend about $50 a month. Still, if i buy something really expensive or do a mega-haul, i probably will restrain myself for the next month or two! 🙂

Lately it has been anywhere from 200-400 a month. Several of these MAC collections have been exicting and repromoting some items that I wished I had gotten before. So I really hope it slows down this fall!
Wow……I’ve never thought about how much I spend per a month. But since I’m a big a cheapo, it’s probably not that much. On average, probably no more than $20 – $30 per a month.
I would say I spend about $100 on average, but if there’s a new collection out or a sale, then it is definitely more!

Because I am a student with no job I really don’t get to buy makeup and stuff as much as I would like to. However I do get the chance to every now and then so I may spend about $55 every two months on MAC products and between $15 and $25 on drugstore brands every month.

tell you the truth, i don’t really know. Some months I spend a lot more, like in the 200 dollar range, and other months I probably spend around 50. I don’t keep track, so it kind of depends. This past month, I have resisted and haven’t spent any makeup money… but then again it has only been 17 days of July. HAHA. And I have resisted getting anything but I still want to!!! I think I will wind up getting one of the look boxes from Nordies when I get to the mall. Sigh, there is 60 for July!

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.

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