It costs $ 140 – How much do you all spend on makeup each month? I usually use Cetaphil on my face so it’s inexpensive (nothing else has worked for my sensitive skin … welcome). Quality makeup costs so much. I would prefer to have prestige quality at drugstore prices! Does it exist?
It does exist! The makeup world is so saturated now that high ticket items are definitely not a necessity anymore. Step outside Sephora and take a walk into a Target or even Ulta for the points! A lot of drugstore brands have upped their game, and I have even found that some drugstore brands are better quality AND listen to their consumer base moreso than some prestige brands.

I feel like a ton of Korean beauty brands are super high quality and the price isn’t as expensive as a lot of prestige brands, it can just be tricky to find products without super expensive shipping or markups if you are buying from another country. YesStyle sometimes has really great deals and I’ve noticed amazon is stocking more Korean beauty brands as well! I even found some peripera lip products at my local CVS which was very exciting!!
Have you considered any beauty box subscriptions? I only get 2 or 3 a month (used to get every single one I could find) and although I don’t always use everything, I have tons of amazing makeup I wouldn’t have thought to but. Especially for lippies, eyeshadow, and bronzers/blush. I rarely buy any products. It’s been months since I bought makeup outside my boxes.
