For the past couple of months I've been saving up money so I could buy new make-up before school begins. I had originally planned to buy some stuff at MAC because I rarely purchase from them. But now that I think about it I could get more at Ulta for a whole lot less. Im still baffled so I need help. Which store do you prefer? Which would you suggest?

Depends on what I'm looking for... if you want a variety of drugstore and higher end, Ulta is nice... MAC is all one brand and, to be honest, the main thing I REALLY like from them are their lipsticks... Of course, you could always pick and choose from both. I rarely spend all of my money at one!

I can't convince myself to spend the kind of money that Mac asks for! I find great make-up at Ulta. I prefer drugstore make-up because I can get so much more for my money! At ulta, you should check out the NYX brand, because it is a great price. Their Jumbo eye pencils are amazing, I am currently using their eyeshadow base and I love it! I really like maybelline dream matte mousse. I highly recommend going to ulta. (:

I live on Ulta really especially because it's the only place near me that carries such an extensive NYX collection. At MAC I only tend to buy products that I can not find dupes for, so there's only a limited amount of products I'd buy.
I mean it'd be nice to have some more MAC makeup in my collection but it;d also be nice to have more products for you money.

Check out Sephora's online sale section - it always has some sweet deals. And the Sephora brand is actually quite nice! Lots of bang for your buck.
