Isnt it crazy how much some of this stuff costs? I figured when i went to the mall today that I may end up spending $35.. $40 at most. I bought 1 mascarra and a bottle of eye makeup remover from lancome today and the total was just over $50 :wtf: I was shocked. I always buy this stuff but for some reason today I just started thinking about what little you get for the money. Its crazy when you think about it :throwup:
Sorry to vent... I was just thinking about it, LoL

I know! I spent almost $90 the other day at the MAC Cosmetics counter at Nordstrom. I bought a bottle of liquid foundation, a powder compact, and a makeup brush. The total blew me away. I am going to go back soon to return my makeup brush. I know the makeup brush supposedly does wonder, but it does not worth the $30-something dollars.

That is crazy. Today I spent $67 on a bottle of cleanser and blush at Estee Lauder. I do believe in buying quality products and paying more for better ingredients but I HATE all that is tacked on for the name and the packaging.

Considering that you should toss out your mascara every 4 months or so, I would definitely not spend over 20 bucks for mascara. Loreal Voluminous for $6 works just as well as Diorshow in my opinion.

I agree. I only buy drugstore mascara for this reason. Eye makeup remover I'm a little more willing to splurge on though. It's important to get all your makeup off.

I agree. I don't mind paying more for Lancome's make up remover cause I think it's fabulous, but I only ever use the sample mascaras they give you cause I can't justify spending that much on it.

oh i beg to differ.. the brush makes ALL the difference.. the most expensive brush i own cost me about $270 plus tax and lemme tell you - it is AMAZING! mac's brushes are good quality ( i have quite few) and with proper care will last AGES! it's better to pay $$ for something that will last years as opposed to having to buy cheap ones over and over again.. look at it as an investment! ;)

I flip out when I pay more then 10 bucks for eyeshadow...for me it's just not worth it. I get great results with cheaper things at Ulta than I do buying all the Chanel, Dior, Este Lauder, etc etc in the world. I do own some of these products, but, it's just not worth it to me when I get sick of the color and move on to something else very quickly. I think the most I spend is around 18 for Chanel nail polishes since those last me forever!

WOW.. I do spend little money on mascara to be honest. I've tried many ones, the most expensive one was Lancome (paid around 25 dlls I think). did not like it. I only like one that cost me about 100 mexican pesos, 10 dollars. Mom brings them to me every christmas, usually I get like 4-5, enough for a whole year. I really like this one, is the only one that helps to curl my eyelashes. I have cow eyelashes. I always use oil free neutrogena eye remover that cost me like 6 bucks. It works good for me tho

the almay eye make up remover pads are the best! i've tried clinique, lancome, mary kay, etc and almay is the best are great. you don't even have to waste a cotton pad (not that those cost hardly anything). ulta has almay buy 1 get 1 free and the $3.50 coupon. i just paid $8 for 3 containers!

and i've tried a bunch of drugstore stuff but do still swear by the benefit badgal mascara, think it's $18, not too bad.
