For most men, the contents of a woman's handbag are a bigger mystery than UFOs or the Bermuda Triangle.
Alongside the tissues, purses, gloves, contact lens fluid, receipts, phones, family photos, mirrors and obligatory fluffy Polo mint, they are stuffed with almost £300 of make-up.
Britain's women spend a jaw-dropping total of £7million. But they haven't a clue about the value of their beauty bags' contents, it has emerged.
A survey of 2,000 women by retail giant World Duty Free found that most thought their cosmetics were worth about £80.
The average bag value, however, is actually £292.25.
Just the bag itself costs the ordinary woman £16.50 and usually houses two foundations, eye-liners, mascaras and lip glosses, nine eye-shadows and five lipsticks.
More than 16 per cent of the women said they would be 'absolutely distraught' if they lost their powder and paint. And 84 per cent admitted they feel much more confident when they have make-up on.
A WDF spokeswoman said: "It's staggering to see how much we keep in our make-up bags and shows how integral and important they are to women."
My question to you, what's in your handbag ?
