Typical Liquids a woman would carry in her toiletry kit...

Cleanser: $10-$30
Exfoliant: $10-$40
Toner: $5-$20
Moisturizer: $10-$30
Spot Treatment: $15-$25

Cosmetics
Lip Gloss: $5-$15
Foundation: $15-$50

Nail Polish: $5-$20

Other
Moisturizing Body Lotion: $10
Shaving Gel: $5
Toothpaste: $2.50
Shampoo: $5-$10
Conditioner: $5-$10
Hair Gel/Spray/etc: $5-$10


Total= $122.50 - $317.50

Low prices are what a woman would typically pay in a drug store for avg-above avg products. High prices are what a woman would typically pay in a dept store.

Prices can go MUCH higher than this. Cleanser can cost $80 per bottle easily. Shampoo can cost $20. etc. Creme de La Mer, for example, costs $110 for a single liquid ounce.
