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 havent really changed where I buy my makeup. I usually buy my makeup at drugstores anyway - I dont really see the need in spending three times the amount of money just to get a fancier brand name at a dept store . I just stick with the basics. I have, though, found myself using more of the makeup I already have at home before I go out and buy more. I am the worlds worst at using eyeshadow a few times, buying more and forgetting about the old. So now I am being more concious of using what I already have. Also, I have been buying my foundation on ebay. You can get 3 for what 1 will cost you in the store - and it is still sealed and never opened! Cant beat that!

    I use to be a makeup junkie when I held a career...now that I am staying at home with the kids I find that I rarely wear makeup...but I have found that when it comes to skin care expensive is not always better...I workedin the derm field for years and all the derms I worked with say the same thing use Cetaphil it is the best stuff out there and you can get it at Target for 15 bucks and it lasts for years

    I'm doing more online shopping for my cosmetics. I'm a junkie, I love to try new products and I can find a ton of good deals online! Kate Somerville is my new favorite!

    I have rosacea and use only Bare Minerals...a little goes a very long way and it's not easy to find here in MI but since Ulta opened I no longer have to order it via the internet or QVC. I also switched my hairstylist to Ulta...they're comparable in price to the salons here and they have a great rewards program. I have to get my haircut so...why not get something in return? And you can't beat their sale prices.
