My favourite places to buy.....

Everyone has a certain place that they like to buy certain things from, like a certain grocery store or a certain clothing store. With makeup it's no different! For certain products I must go to MAC, for others I have to go to Sephora. I definitely have an affinity for going to the Drugstore for certain products too! To find out which places correspond with what products keep reading....


  1. For lipstick.....I almost always turn to MAC. MAC is unbeatable in terms of their colour selection and their finishes. The drugstore doesn't have the colour selection that MAC does, nor does Sephora have the affordable price range that MAC offers. Whenever you are looking for a certain colour, or trend, MAC is sure to please without breaking the bank.
  2. For eyeshadow.....I turn to Sephora. When it comes to eyeshadow palettes Sephora is the only place I trust to get the job done. The drugstore doesn't have the quality or colour selection of Sephora branded products and MAC is more prone to single eyeshadows than palettes. Not to mention, Sephora carries all the brands that us beauty junkies look out for, for a good neutral palette-cough Urban Decay Naked palette. 
  3. For nail polish.....I will usually always go to the drugstore. Unless there is a certain colour that only a higher end brand is selling, all my nail polish needs are satisfied at the drugstore. The drugstore has a wide variety of colour and textures. They are always on trend and release many limited collections with unique colours. For the quality and versatility of their selection, the drugstore is competitive with higher brands. They are the most affordable place to shop! 
  4. For foundation.....I find myself at Sephora. I have quite sensitive skin--skin that requires effort to ensure that it remains vibrant and healthy. Drugstore foundations tend to irritate my skin or not give the dewy finish that my dry skin needs. I know that when I go into Sephora I will have a variety of options suited specifically to my skin type and specifically to my skin colour--colour matching is another facet that the drugstore often struggles with. At the moment, I do not know where I would be with my Nars radiant foundation....It has literally changed my life.  
Are they certain places that you have to shop at for certain beauty products?
