BC and BM vs SM by YL

I know...the title is a little strange.  BC is Beauty Counter a popular makeup brand.  BM is Bare Minerals. SM is Savvy Minerals makeup and YL is Young Living who sells Savvy Minerals Makeup.  All you have to do is look at the ingredients and you can see that SM is on the lowest side.  Just the minerals and none of the bad stuff.  But aside the ingredients, let's talk about price between the two.  AND if you read at the very end, you'll see that SM is even better because of the Essential Rewards benefits!!  I've been on ER for almost three years.  I don't know of other companies that rewards you like that.  I get 25% back to spend on product on every ER order!!  So.....let's get on to the comparison.  This information was saved from a different blog.

Ok, so we all like savings 💰 right? Sometimes we talk ourselves out of spending 💰 on things because we THINK we are spending a lot.  Whether you are a couponer or a price matcher or not, let's compare and contrast the cost of Young Living's Savvy Mineral's makeup with a few other leading companies.

Here are some interesting finds for the basic things we all buy when we think of makeup and how Young Living fares!

Young Living Savvy Minerals (Wholesale Price):
💧Eyeliner-15.75
💧Foundation-44.00
💧Eyeshadow (one color)-15.25
💧Lip Gloss-27.50
💧Lipstick-22.75
💧Blush-27.75
Total=$153
(w/out Lipstick-$130.25; w/out Lip Gloss-$125.50)

BeautyCounter Makeup (non-consultant price):
💄Eyeliner-$23
💄Foundation (powder)-$41
💄Eyeshadow-$34
💄Lip Gloss-$29
💄Lipstick-$30
💄Blush-$40
Total=$197
(w/out Lipstick-$167; w/out Lip Gloss-$168)

Bare Minerals Makeup (Retail-only option):
🐻 Eyeliner-$17
🐻Foundation-$28.50
🐻Eyeshadow (Palette)-$45
🐻Lip Gloss-$18
🐻Lipstick-$20
🐻Blush-$24
Total=$152.50
(w/out Lipstick-$132.50; w/out Lip Gloss-$134.50)

So, as you can see:
1. Young Living's makeup is NOT as expensive as you think!
2. Hello, INGREDIENTS??? 🙂 I mean, the stuff I can trust is really no more then the stuff I can't trust. Maybe you get a tad more (like multiple eyeshadows or a duo blush pack) but I am happy to get quality over quantity. 🙂

AND BEST POINT OF ALL: Neither of these other 2 give me POINTS BACK when I order!!!! With my YL order I can add these to my ER order, get up to 25% back (if you're just starting you will get 10% and work your way up) which is $38.25 back on an order of $153!!!!! So, who does that?
Does Target? Ulta? Amazon?
Nope,  none.

Just something to chew on. 🙂 Feel free to share this. 🙂
End of math lesson! 👨‍🏫"
