    I have not changed. I buy most of my body/bath products at Lush. Makeup is usually from the department store, Ulta or Sephora. As always, I usually purchase during a sale or when they are doing special offers.

    I have found that when I buy the more expensive brands, they tend to last longer. You will need to use less because if the quality. So I have not changed my shopping habits - I continue to use only MAC products. However, I have found an outlet which sells the items for a little. (Cosmetic Company Store).

    Generally speaking - I have been making adjustments especially with beauty products - they are soooo expensive. I have been looking out for deals and coupons - I have been purchasing at the supermarket with coupons and using double / triple store coupons to make the cost more affordable...

    I usually buy my Pantene from Walmart or my husband's CVS! It's cheaper at CVS with his discount, but Walmart is more of a convenience, sometimes!

    I don't really buy make-up to much because I have gotten so much free I just use up what I have. When I did have to buy some it was from a mass merchant store.

    If you purchase at a drugstore or grocery store you're much more likely to get a great deal!
