Salon vs Drug store brand

[srhbtts]

Everything I use is from the drugstore, and works perfect. Moisturizer (Aveeno); foundation, concealer, and powder (CoverGirl); eyeliner (e.l.f. right now); and mascara (Maybelline). They are work wonderfully and I couldn't imagine spending oodles of money on something that's going to give me the exact same effect, and I'm really not interested in anything that might be "better" because what I use is perfectly fine to me.

My mom got some It Cosmetics makeup for her birthday. The powder was amazing (I used it all, though), and the blush is a really pretty, universal color and never wears off (still have it but I rarely wear blush on a daily basis). While I love that stuff, I can get the exact same stuff at Shoppers Drug Mart for $40+ bucks less. All that salon **** really isn't financially worth it - personally, at least lol.

I buy expensive concealer, blush, and foundation, but that's just because I'm **** at telling what colors I need. Everything else is drugstore.

I never use cheap brands for foundation or primer, every time I have I break out. I'd rather spend 30 quid on a Chanel or guerlain which I know will last all day on my skin too, then say maybelline, which lasts a few hours. All of my makeup is high end, but I have a large interest in it. Hair stuff I don't really care.

NYC hard candy (I think that's the name!) duo eyeshadow is exactly the same colors as two from the Naked palette and last the same length of time.

i just wanna say that i really like hard candy products, they also don't test on animals either.

every cosmetic product that i own is a drugstore brand, most likely purchased at walmart. i've never used anything high end before because 1) i live in the middle of no where and i haven't even heard or seen half these companies, and 2) i don't see the point in spending a lot of $ on makeup.

i'm pretty lucky in the sense i don't have to spend a lot of $ on makeup and shampoo etc. i've always used cheap shampoo ever since i can remember and i always get tons of compliments on my hair.

My moisturizer, foundation, face wash, facial sunscreen are all Clinique. I love their foundation/powder, it's a million times better than any drug store brand I've tried. Their facial sunscreen is really good too. Everything else is drug store.
