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" .

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:
"Finalmente compraste la guitarra que querías?" ( Did you finally buy the guitar you wanted? )
"No, investigué en internet y cuesta un ojo de la cara." ( No, I researched on the internet and the price is really high. )
Espero que esta explicación te ayude!
