    BH, Shany, and Coastal Scents are pretty much all generic chinese palettes that are then hot-stamped with a company name. You can find the same ones on ebay or wholesale sites for less. That's where I bought my concealer palette.

    Yeah... Loreal, Cover girl, NYX...
    Ummm.... Dior and Chanel?
    Mac?
    Bobbi Brown.

    What's the question? You mean price wise or what?

    I don't want to pay for something I can get from another company for under $25

    Shany can be bought at Target. Pretty close to a drugstore brand. I don't see the point in buying high end make up unless you are a makeup artist.

    MAC and Sephora?

    I'm a slave to Urban Decay, Benefit, and Bare Esscentuals.

    Then buy from the drug store or Walmart or Target.

    I really love LUSH, MAC, NARS, and Stila* for non-drugstore brands. And www.makeupgeek.com has a bunch of awesome product smackdowns where they compare similar products by different brands that I always enjoy taking a look at. The site, in general, is pretty awesome for makeup addicts!





    * This one the most!

    All the super important things like primer concealer, I use Urban Decay.

    I don't use foundation..,but I do own some MAC.

    UD is awesome

    I agree, also it's about the primer and what you use underneath.

    I really got confused with your requirements. Is it only about the price or also about the stores?

    You can buy make up from a Dollar Tree store. They have Cover girl I think.

    NYX is good for a cheap make up. And NYC cosmetic is good.

    I personally love Urban Decay, Nars and Two Faced, they're pricey but last forever. The best mascara for me is Loreal Volumenous, it's about $7.

    Are they like knock-offs? I bought Urban Decay Naked 2 pallet on eBay for half the price it is at ULTA and it was fake. The shades look very similar... fooled me until I tried to use them. I don't like the fact that they could be putting any chemicals in them and then I'm applying to my face/eyes. Now I'm creeped out of buying makeup from Amazon/eBay!

    Ulta & sephora are my go-to brick stores.

    Mac foundation, urban decay, tarte and I'm liking some of the shadows from Pacifica

    NYX is cheaper and still good quality. Found online or at Ulta.

    I'm told NYX is made by MAC.
    Huge variety of products and reasonably priced.
    I've tried some... My experience has been hit or miss with NYX.

    I love ELF. It is affordable, and most importantly, it doesn't test on animals! Same with Bonnie Belle =)
