Have you changed where you purchase beauty products (cosmetics, haircare, etc.) because of the economic downturn? Yes, I'm more likely to purchase beauty products...

According to the press, retailers and cosmetic companies, amidst the recession, women are still buying beauty.  We were curious to hear where you still shop for these products? 

Are you shopping for these products that way that you did in the past?  We want to know what you think!

On a home shopping channel (2.4%)

At drugstores and supermarkets (42.5%)

On the Internet (10.5%)

At specialty stores like Sephora and Ulta (8.2%)

At department stores (8.0%)

No, I haven't changed where I purchase beauty products (42.4%)

    I am now shopping at Walgreens more and using coupons and register rewards. Food is more important but I still want to feel pretty.

    I dont use makeup that often. I use lancombe for washing my face and it lasts a long time so I figure I can keep buying that.The makeup I use is estee lauder,but I dont use it often.The next time I need makeup I will think about a cheaper brand.

    I have never used any high dollar make items. Drug store or Mary-K are fine with me.

    I like The Cosmetics Store. The outlet carries the "Free with Gift" cosmetic bag and makeup sets from Clinique, Estee Lauder, Origins, etc. They are frequently cheaper than drugstore cosmetics and very high quality!

    I've been using Mary Kay since I was 13, and and pretty loyal to my consultant. Sometimes the cost concerns me, but I've just been trying to reevaluate my "needs" and cut back a little. Changing brands or how I buy hasn't really even crossed my mind.

    I always shopped at Macy's, Sephora, and Ulta but now I am buying my makeup, lotions, and other beauty supplies at Target.

    I have figured out how to get mostly any make-up item I need for free at either Walgreens or CVS using the RR or ECB systems. Why buy it?

    Vicky says I still purchase beauty products at the same places.

    One thing I stopped doing is buying extra products at Clinque or Lancolm just to get the 'free' gift. Most of the time I didn't use half of what they were giving for free and I would usually spend twice what I needed.
