i have bought 2 mac eyeshadows and 1 mac lipgloss.
i bought them because they are AMAZING. all the rest i get from walmart. you CAN have both and you DO get what you pay for.
i have tried many eyeshadows that don't even compare to the mac's a bought. i think that it was totally worth the money. and i also love my loreal and rimmel stuff too.

You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to look marvelous.
You can match any of these high end cosmetics with a more affordable product and get just as good if not better quality. Lancome and Loreal are the same. Revlon/Almay and Ultima are the same. You can find matches for MAC, Smashbox, etc. in any discount store. And if you aren't sure of your colors, Cover Girl's website has virtual models so you can play with the colors to match your complexion, eye and hair color. It also doesn't help that customers go into stores and test makeup that isn't meant to be tested. Those damaged products go back to the manufacturer, but if you think about it, if they are losing money, and they are going to raise the prices. Not only will it cost more, it is UNSANITARY! People don't realize when they test and put it back they run the risk of infections. If you want to know about a product, ASK, don't test.

Because some women, psychologically need these brands to feel better. They don't want to feel "cheap" because of drugstore brands. Buying expensive makeup products are their "depressing shopping sprees".
Hey, some women do shoes.

Guerlain, Shu Uemura, Nars and Chanel are my most expensive make-up items. Go to the drugstores and check out Prestige cosmetics. I try Isadora lipsticks too.

Its not the makeup that's pricey its the brand your really paying for...plus the more they say its better, healthier or has sun protection will raise that price up too.....

Because women will pay for it. I don't wear a lot, so I just get the cheap 1-2.00 eyeshadows and blush. I look at some of the make up and just cringe at the prices, it's ridiculous.

slap a Chanel label on a piece of dog poo and call it designer, someone will buy it and swear it's, like, the best thing EVER.
