it's possible she accumulated it over a period time or could even have a job or side gig as a makeup artist.

If its their money, so what!!

She’s ugly

We all spend our money on things others would find silly. Over time, it adds up.

they might be either financially sound or it's make up they collected over the years. adds up

It definitely accumulates! Setting aside the fact OP may be a makeup artists ($700 is bare minimum for a makeup artists box though) Eye shadow Palettes range from $20-200 depending on brand. High quality lipsticks range $20-60, Foundations $20-80. We have multiples of foundations for different seasons, Palettes for different colours, Primers, Blushes, Highlighters, Contours, Mascara, and every variety of that kind. So many colours and that doesn't even touch on the Brushes for them all! Higher quality makeup lasts longer and works better. Same reason why you buy higher quality clothes over Walmart brand. If someone lost $700 in clothes, that could range from 20 outfits(cheapo) to 4 outfits (expensive).

YDI for buying $700 worth of makeup from Sephora !

Because it's her money and she is free to whatever she likes with it?

But Walmart brand is no worse, you’re just paying for the label.

Because it’s free speech and people are allowed to question people’s decisions?

100% Agree. I have two boys, and all it took was them being able to stand and reach the edge of the counter to know to lock everything away. They are curious, they want everything mommy and daddy uses. Those fancy brushes and boxes holding powders and creams? It's like a magnet for them. I feel bad for OP. That's a lot of makeup gone, and I'm sure a lot of palettes!

Good makeup costs money, don't slam on people for choosing what they want to spend money on. It's not $700 a month. An eye shadow palette lasts years, You buy in what new colours or brands you like. Lipsticks, Mascara, Primer, Foundation, Everything adds up. I could say the same for people who buy a Video game monthly. $60 a month for a year is $720.

If you want quality makeup, it is NOT at Sephora... I'll bet it was laying out all over the place. Should have spent some of that on baby proofing.

My makeup stays in a lock box in the bathroom and it was bought for me by friends and family as gifts

I was happy it wasn’t cleaning supplies which are kept in a cabinet that is completely child proofed
