Do you ever wonder how Estee Lauder got to be such an empire? Maybe it's because we are giving EL all of our money! The results of last week's Cosmetic Poll are in, and EL wins as having the most expensive line of products! From Fruition ($45) to foundation ($27.50), we seem to love our EL, and don't mind paying for it. The most expensive product bought by one reader is Guerlain's Meteorites pressed powder compact for an unbelievable $130! In second place, Philosophy's "Coloring Book" collection of makeup and brushes for $160. Even though it costs more than the Guerlain, it comes with 28 separate products, making it only about $5 per item. That's actually a really good deal! Runners up for most expensive product include Chantal Ethocyn $80, Chanel's lipstick compact $50, and Chanel's Oil-Free Day Lift Plus $48.50.
