Answer

Hello! "un ojo de la cara" is used when something is really expensive.
"he comprado un par de zapatos y me han costado un ojo de la cara" mañana voy a devolverlos.
sounds better that " mañana voy a hacer una devolución" .

Answer

Hola! "un ojo de la cara" is a Spanish expression that means that something is or was very expensive.

Another example would be this one:

"No, investigué en internet y cuesta un ojo de la cara." ( No, I researched on the internet and the price is really high. )
