Drugstore or Department Store??  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty 5 years ago

Since I'm on a beauty product kick and being nosy, I was just wondering about where you buy your beauty products.
The majority of my makeup and skin care comes from the drug store but I do love Lancome powder, eyeshadow, mascara. It is expensive but once in awhil I spend the big money on it. Other than that I get my beauty supplies at Walmart.

How about you where do you buy the majority of your beauty products and what are some of your most favorite??

Thanks for reading!

I usually don't buy beauty products for myself. In fact, I don't even wear make-up unless it is a special occasion. When I do buy make-up, which is usually for my little sister, I buy it from a department store, mainly Wal-Mart. I work there, and get an additional 10% off all merchandise that is not food. It also makes it easier when I'm just getting off work to grab stuff before I leave, so I tend to do most of my shopping there.

Nice a discount at Wal mart..just when you thought Wal mart couldn't get any cheaper. I would be in trouble with any discount at Walmart I would never stop shopping! Thanks for stopping by! :)

For the most part I buy my makeup from Rite Aid and Target. I like Loreal's Bare naturals foundation and blush. I can't wear eyeshadow because I am allergic to every color. It either gives me a rash or exyema (sp) on my eyelids. I wear mascara and am currently using Maybeline which I can get in a grocery store. I can get all of my facial cleansers in the grocery store too. The only beauty products that I use that I have to buy in a salon is my shampoo, conditioner and 2 styling products which are Aveda. I use other various types of hairspray...am actually trying to find the perfect hairspray which I don't use much of. I just use a little on my bangs.

So, I frequent grocery stores or pharmacies for my beauty products...for the most part.


myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

I like Aveda myself but I haven't bought it in a long time because of the price. Their makeup and hair stuff is amazing! If you are looking for a cheap hairspray- try Aussie or the new VO5 stuff in the red bottles. These are both cheap and really good- and shouldn't make your bangs crispy! Thanks for sharing!


myLot reputation of 96/100. cortjo73 (2353)  5 years ago

Thank you! I might try one of those. I hate if my bangs are crispy. They don't shine and just look gross, not to mention how they feel. I like my bangs to stay put because they sweep over to the side a little but are right at my eyebrow and if they fall into my eyes even a little, it annoys me. I really hate to use hairspray but, with my bangs, I pretty much have to. I went for about a decade without hairspray before I got bangs back.

Aveda is expensive. I get the big industrial sized bottles. They are more expensive but, they last for a lot longer. Then again, I only wash my hair every other day so, maybe they would last for half that time if I washed my hair every day. Still, it is worth it to spend a little more for the huge bottles. Otherwise, I would be buying more every 2 - 3 months.

Thank you again for the suggestions!

My pleasure! :)

Thank you for the Best Response! I love getting them!

Also, I wanted to tell you that I tried the VO5 hairspray that you recommended and I love it! Thank you! It isn't crunchy and gross! Thank you again for the suggestion and the Best Response!

Hello skinnychick

I buy most of my beauty products at Wally World or whatever grocery store I happen to be in when the thought hits me that I need some sort of beauty product.

I am not very fond of make-up... i am not that good in applying it to my face...and only use it when i will attend formal gatherings... or simple lipstick when i was still teaching... so... i usually just buy what i need form my ever ready and reliable Avon lady... and my sister would also send me some from the US... and that saves a lot of money...


myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

I like Avon too. Thanks for stopping by..

I buy all my skincare and haircare in Lush, where I am lucky enough to work. it's great stuff, really good quality, and leaves your skin and hair in great condition.

make up I buy wherever I find the right products to suit me.


myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

I use my own handmade soap a lot of the time but for me Lush is a total splurge. I love it though..Can you float me a my lot discount? LOL Thanks for stopping by..

I am like you, I buy most of my prodcuts at Walmart. They have all the same brands, pretty much, as Shoppers Drug Mart but for much cheaper prices. I do always check the drug store for clearance items and sale though, because sometimes you can get a really good deal there too. I recently bought a bunch of Noxema prodcuts at the drug store on clearance for $1 each.


myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

I love deals! Noxzema seems to be clearancing a lot of stuff lately. I wonder what is going on with them. Thanks for the response.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Nykkee (1424)   ranked 4 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

They are probably just changeing the packageing or something if it's on clearance everywhere. I was under the impression that our Shoppers Drug Mart was just haveing a clearance because they are supposed to be expanding or moveing or something.


myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

That probably is the case...the packaging!

I buy my makeup from Macy's. I only use Clinique.

I buy my bath stuff (soaps/hair stuff) from Wal-Mart or Sam's club. I love Sam's.

My favorite makeup obviously is Clinique. I buy my foundation, eye makeup and lip gloss there. I buy my mascara from Wal-Mart though as it's cheaper. My favorite body wash is Caress. It doesn't leave my skin dry like bar soap does.


myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

Thanks so much for stopping by. I used to use Clinique awhile back and I miss it. :) I think I may need to pay them a visit!

I prefer to go to drugstore when I need to get medicine, but if it is only for skin cream, I will just go to supermarket.

I love make-up. I like maybeline mascara and cheek mousse. I got my moisture rich lipstick from my avon lady. For my fondation i use a local product its name is maxifeel concealer cream, and my eye liner is also a local product called everbelena. And for my eye color, it was only given to me by my friend who is working in Japan so i dont know the brand name because it was written in Japanese,but its good.


myLot reputation of 83/100. skinnychick (3313)   ranked 44 out of 1,712 in beauty  5 years ago

Thanks for stopping by! I use Maybelline as well. I love their mascara!
