No, I haven't changed where I purchase beauty products (42.4%)
Definately, I will choose the drugstores for certain products - but there are a few things that I won't scrimp on that have to be bought at the departmaent store. I have found that I can save a few dollars on those brands by shopping at Outlets. Perfume, I'm just not buying - however. I'll wait for Christmas or my birthday to ask for it, if I'm in need. Right now, I'm using up all I have.
Definitely at a specialty store since they are staffed with those that are more knowledgeable in the area than I am and I can ask questions which product(s) will work best for me. But even then it will depend on the price of the product since I don't have that much money to begin with.
I have been continuing to shop at Saks and now buy in "bulk" during their friends and family discount events...also collect and use their points for discounts
I used to be a department store junkie.Now im using all the extra makeup i have lying around,it will be awhile until it runs out,after that,ill only buy the more expensive wrinkle creams,makeup is makeup.
I don't buy make up very often. I hardly wear it..
I am an Independent Avon Rep. therefore I generally only use Avon products.
I still purchase from the same places. However, I am more incline to use a coupon now for my purchase. Also, I try to stretch my dollar farther by only buying when I am out of a certain product. Nothing on a whim.
I used to buy at Sephora and at department stores for my makeup,and body and beauty products(also I used to use only salon shampoo and hair products) But,now there is just no way I can afford it,I have certainly noticed a difference,especially in the hair products and makeup,but there is just no way that I can afford anything priced more than grocercy store/drugstore prices. Someday I hope to get my sephora makeup back,and my nice biologe/pureology hair products:(
I have not changed where I purchase my beauty products. I do try to stretch it a bit and make them last as long as I can. I normally give away the samples that I get as freebies but now I'm finding that I'm using them more now.
I don't really buy too much make up anyways so I have not changed how or here I buy it. I am more the au natural look.
