I want enough makeup to fill a whole room! Lol. Love, love makeup! I have maybe 50 pieces. So how do I make my stash a collection on a budget? I still want good quality makeup but for less. Thanks!

Try sites like allcosmeticswholesale.com and hautelook.com (you need a membership for that one though).

The brand MUA is great quality, especially their eyeshadows, and a lot of their stuff is cheaper than elf. (Sadly, you have to order online if you don't live in Europe)

Thanks, ladies. And ordering online isn't a problem. In such a small town I only gave Wal-Mart and Walgreen to shop for makeup. But as long as it isn't shattered by the time it gets here!

I've never had a problem with shattering. :) Also both the Elf and MUA websites have sales all the time.

Also, a lot of the time, you can find products on Amazon for a lower price than in stores.

Ulta. They have both high end and drugstore products and they usually have sales on the drugstore stuff, like buy one get one, etc. I go to them for anything from Nyx or Real Techniques usually. I've really been getting into Nyx lately. Then they also have coupons and other deals. I prefer Sephora for my high end stuff because I like the rewards program better, but Sephora is pretty much all high end so you don't save as much money. But they do have some good deals occasionally.

Ulta's really expensive, I use elf products and anything cheap I can find at Walmart, etc. :)

Some stuff at Ulta is expensive, like the high end things, but they do carry drugstore things and usually always have deals on them where as the drugstores don't always have deals or the same deals.

If you want higher end makeup try buying kits like they're a little expensive but you get more for your money. right now they have a lot of holiday sets at euphoria :)

MUA and Coastal Scents are good but cheap.
Or try eBay thry sometimes sell wholesale makeup for cheaper
Dec 11, 2013

Coastal Scents is a good brand.
However I would steer away from their palettes and go straight to the hot pots and build your own palette. Those shadows are completely different from the dime sized ones in the other "Ebay" palettes.

Try subscribing to the Ipsy Glambag! It's 10 bucks a month and they give you 5-6 full size or deluxe sample size products! I was super pleased with last months bag as it came with products from em cosmetics and pixi...AND even though I only payed 10 bucks for it, it had well over a 40-50 dollar value :)
