  • I was sent home on the first night of The Bachelor.

  • Even though I was barely on the show, I still spent thousands of dollars on packing.

  • I had multiple dresses, lots of makeup, and TV ready hair.

People who say love is priceless have never competed on The Bachelor.

I was a contestant on the 26th season of the dating show, which is currently airing on ABC, and I spent $4,400 dollars on dresses, shoes, makeup, and hair.

I made a TikTok detailing how much I spent on dresses for the show, and my followers couldn't believe that contestants are required to pay their own way.

Here is a breakdown of what I bought and how much it cost.

I spent thousands of dollars on clothes for one night of fame

Since the women competing on "The Bachelor" don't know when they'll be eliminated, it's recommended that we pack for the full six weeks. I was sent home the first night, which I knew was a possibility.

I wore a dress by Dress the Population for my grand entrance for $198. I bought a pair of white lace-up heels from a black designer for $395 to complete the outfit.

I bought and packed because I didn't get to wear anything else on TV.

  • Revolve has a red illegal halter gown.

  • The pink pantsuit is from Revolve.

  • The gown from Alamour is emerald-green.

  • The Reno dress is $350.

  • The Allure gown is red off the shoulder.

Some of my TikTok followers said they would buy their dresses from cheap fast-fashion companies to save money. It was important to me that my fashion choices highlighted a diverse group of designers.

One of my favorite purchases was a light- pink gown from the Lionne clothing brand, which cost $312.

I spent an additional $800 on recommended packing items, bringing the wardrobe total to $3,408.

I also got my hair done and stocked my makeup bag to get TV-ready

I went to Briana to get my hair done. She made sure that my hair was fresh, pressed, luscious, and ready for my journey to find love.

I spent $600 on my hair between the service and the hair tools I brought with me.

I stocked up on makeup supplies for over a month.

  • The Nars foundation is $49.

  • The cost of the makeup is $30.

  • Von D has eyeliner.

  • The Beverly Hills brow pencils are $23 each.

  • Charlotte Tilbury has a blush.

  • The sponges are $20 each.

  • Laura Mercier setting powder is $39.

  • Pat McGrath eyeshadows are $125 each.

  • There is a beauty product that costs $35.

  • The lipglosses are $20 each.

$400+ is the total.

The amount each contestant spends probably varies a lot, but I am not letting my investments go to waste. I plan on using the beauty products and donating the dazzling gowns.
