Brand Name Makeup Isn't Always...

I completely agree that high end brand name isn't always the best, but I can't use a lot of drugstore products as my skin reacts to a lot of the low cost ingredients (and some high end products use them too) and I get rashes. I do use a lot of coastal scents stuff though. They're cheap too. :)

High end doesn't always mean the best, but drug store is a hassle for me as a lot of drug store stuff doesn't agree with my skin. I tried I love ELF but every ELF product I've ever bought felt just as cheap as the price would make you think it does. But I do love NYX and Coastal Scents. Though I tend to love internet brands like Sugarpill and Melt Cosmetics over everything else.

Lovely look!! ;) I used mostly drugstore products as well did thilook with only drugstore products.

Over the years drugstore products have just grown on me and I've realized that's it's how you work with a product not how much it costs.

Lol I'm all for overrated, I love mac! I own so many lipsticks but its not considered as overrated because a lot of the popular lipsticks are for fair skinned so I usually go for the underrated ones. But I've been loving drugstore foundations and products recently. High end wise I'm just getting into ysl and back to Nars.

Just like everything every brand has its hits and misses but I loe high end reason being SOMETIMES a little goes a long way its an invest ment the better the quality the less you use, drug store brands get the job done there's no doubt about that but you get what you pay for in the end i do have some drugstore things and i really like them and i do have some high end i regreat getting cuz it was all bad, againe hit and misses

MAC is extremely overrated in my opinion. I have purchased one thing from them and one thing only simply because nothing of theirs ever impresses me enough to buy it. The last thing I considered buying was their stuff they collaborated with Rick Baker on. I talked myself out of it though because I figured it wouldn't be up to my standards even if they did collaborate with an award winning makeup artist. But I agree with Both Erin and Lilli. I gave up on a lot of drugstore stuff because it either didn't agree with my skin or I felt disappointed with the quality, even if it was priced lower. I don't want to waste even $5 on a product if I don't like the quality of it. That's $5 that could go to something of better quality later on lol. But with everything there's always hits and misses like Lilli pointed out. Even high end brands have mess ups and products that are duds. I don't consider MAC high end though. At least not in terms of quality. When someone says high end I think Dior, Chanel, Nars, Tom Ford, Armani, etc. Definitely not MAC lol.
