Ok, I have been reading so many blogs about makeup and what people think about the different brands and such so I thought that I would take a stab at it myself.
For starters, for the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would want to pay exhorbitant amounts of money for name brand cosmetics. $50 for an Urban Decay Naked palette? Come on! That is insane to me. Especially in today's economy? There is nothing I can't stand more than a name brand snob. Just because it is pricey and has a well known name attached to it that makes it more valuable?? I say no way! But I guess to each his own. I am not trying to be hateful here. Myself, I buy mostly E.L.F. cosmetics. I enter contests to try and win name brand cosmetics but you won't find me paying full retail for anything MAC or Urban Decay. Ebay or swaps or giveaways are the only ways I'll get my hands on name brand cosmetics. I have thought of going to visit my local Ulta store just to see what they have. I just bought 6 NYX jumbo eye pencils on Ebay (can't wait to get 'em) and if I like them I might go and buy one at a time for $4 but no way could I afford 6 of them at that price.
I am also a bit addicted to YouTube. I watch makeup videos all the time! I watch tutorials, reviews, you name it. I have recently discovered Lacura cosmetics which is Aldi grocery store's brand from Germany. It's a good product! Check out your local Aldi and I'll bet the shelves are nearly bare. They were the last time I went so that much mean something. But going back to YouTube, I have some favorites that I like to watch. One of them is MickiLynn (I think that's how you spell her name). She is so pretty and down to earth but she does seem to be a bit of a makeup snob as she has alot of name brand stuff. But I do like watching her videos. Another is Hapamanda. This woman is gorgeous! She has an exotic look about her but she is so nice. She even responds to my facebook comments. She does giveaways all the time and I am hoping to win one some day.
Well, it's about time for me to go home now so I'll blog some more another time. Feel free to comment on anything I've said.
