I have a confession to make.  I am a recovering makeup snob.  I used to think that the only place to get good quality makeup was at a department store…and pay an arm and a leg for it.  My Mom always used high end cosmetics so I just accepted that as the norm. The first makeup I remember was Color Me Beautiful. Remember that? I think I’m a Summer.  My stepdad used to give my sister and I $500 gift cards to Macy’s for Christmas when we were younger. It was always an epic shop-a-thon. I used mine my Sophomore year in High School to start my makeup collection at the Clinique counter like my Mom suggested. I used Clinique throughout High School and into College. Once I got to College, I would occassionaly pick up something from the drugstore (hello! College. Broke!) but it never seemed to work out right. I’d just scrape together the money to get more Clinique.  I guess I wasn’t trying the right things.  Then my sister introduced me to MAC and I overhauled everything in my collection to MAC products.  After a few years, I discovered Benefit and wore nothing but that for a while.  However, since getting into the makeup blogging world, it has opened my eyes to some great products at the drug store.  Now, I have no loyalty.  My go to products now consist of some of my old, high end favorites and new drugstore discoveries.  Moral of the story:  go try out some products at the drugstore.  No shame in that game! You never know what you might find and there are some really great things out there. Trust!
