## Description

Stop guessing how much your skincare routine actually costs. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a personal beauty financial manager. Instead of manually tracking receipts or checking expiration dates, you can ask your agent to run the numbers for you. 

You can use it to see the big picture of your spending or dive into the details of a single product. It calculates how many days you have left before a bottle runs out and compares the cost of buying products individually versus using a subscription. It's a practical way to keep your beauty budget in check and avoid unexpected costs when products run dry.
