H. Couture beauty mascara
Price: $14 million
If you had $14M of spare change lying around, then you can be a proud owner of a diamond-encrusted tube of mascara. A creation of Taysha Smith Valez who began designing her own line of beauty products at a very young age, wanted to kick the beauty world up a few thousand notches and created the H. Couture line that specialized in outrageously expensive makeups. The $14 million price tag is reflective of the tube that featured 1,000 of the finest Swarovski crystals, 2,500 blue diamonds, and an 18 carat gold tubing. While the price and design seems ridiculous, at least it allows you refill the mascara when it was empty: allowing you to reuse the tube! People usually pay $10 at most for mascara but having the chance to flaunt Swarovski crystals and blue diamonds, well that’s much cooler.
