i say i love urban decayse naked pallete its just great use for morning and night wear ...but go to mac!!!! i love them but their shadows are overrated sometimes and sephora has great brands to look at in manhattan.. or a macys too ; )
Honestly, almost anything will be quite a bit cheaper here than overseas. My family from Sweden stocks up when they visit. I think Sephora (or some department stores) would be a really good place since they have a variety of brands. I hope you have a good trip!
I suggest just visiting a Sephora store. You'll fall in love! & Yes, definitely stock up on your usual staples. Also, if you want a decent drugstore to visit, you might want to look for a Target or Walmart. Those two always have the cheapest prices & even carry exclusive brands like Sonia Kashuk & E.L.F (at Target) & Hard Candy (at Walmart) along with the rest of the US drugstore brands. I hope you have fun!
Sephora definitely, and see if there is an Ulta Cosmetics near where you are. It's 1/3 Sephora, 1/3 drugstore, 1/3 salon hair care (brands like TIGI, big sexy, etc) I love Ulta, but they aren't in a lot of places.
At the drugstore, check out ELF, Wet'n'Wild for eyeshadow, and NYX for lip stains.
Be sure to hit MAC. You can go to the MAC store or any Macy's will usually have one.
