No, I haven't changed where I purchase beauty products (42.4%)
I haven't changed where I shop, I've just cut back. If I don't need it, I wait to get it.
I purchase most of my cosmetics from Dollar General and Walmart. they have some of the best prices.
Now I haven't changed wher I buy my products. I have very sensitive skin and the only makeup that I canuse is bare essentuals.
I've been mixing drug store brands with my department store brands. It cut down dramatically on my spending.
I usually buy make-up at drug stores since they have the best sales. I also use Avon when they have good shipping deals. I have always tried to get bargains for products I love even when the economy was better.
I still purchase my favorite, Bare Minerals, through Sephora (hello, free gifts and shipping!), but for all other makeup I have pared back to items I can purchase at Target. I have actually found very little difference in the products I am using vs. what I was using before!
I still by my foundation from Mac online, I watch for discounts or free shipping. I buy my mascara locally at a drugstore as its the same kind of stuff!
I have found that I have been using coupons a lot more lately and buying all of my beauty supplies at places where coupons are accepted...sadly not too many department stores carry coupons. If I do buy from them it is when they have a free gift sale going.
I go where the deals are! I a regular item is on sale at a certain store, I go there. It's worth it in the long run!
my lipstick is the only thing I still buy from a department store, I love my MAC! Other than that....I am fine with my drug store eye shadow, blush etc...
