Dollor Store Cosmetics

[Guest Dazzle and Destroy]

i'd say, dont even think about buying it...

its not like "oh why not? its just 1 buck"

...more like "crap, this cheap stuff can really harm my skin"

I once bought a maybelline black smudging eyeliner (w/ the twist end-so you don't have to sharpen), just to try out from the dolloar store. It turned out to be the best eyeliner ever.. but when i went back after a month.. they were all gone. Since then, i've been stopping by every dollar store i see just to get even 1/2 of them, but no luck.

Downfall of getting cosmetics from the dollar store is that they may not have your preferred cosmetic there next time, so buy it all up when you've discovered something worth using again.

It depends on the product. I've had times where I would be running around my house for eyeliner or eyeshadow, and I have a dollar store right by my house, so I would grab a eye liner and eyeshadow and do my makeup.

The worst that dollar store brands ever did to me was, the eyeliner barely shows, or it shows too much. The eyeshadows colors are pretty much like any other storebrand colors imo.

I know a lot of friends who buy stuff from the dollar store last minute, us group of friends who misplace their makeup often stick together x_X. But my point is, never have I ever heard anyone getting any reaction or anything harmful, the makeup is usually just LESS effective unless you're really lucky that day and they're selling nice brands.

just dont do it

invest in some good make-up that'll last longer and that you'll like

if you really want to save some cash though

get some nail polish :]

Someone told me there isn't much difference bt cheap and expensive makeup. I think they're right.

[Guest itsf0'y0'mynd]

i wouldnt recommend.......

[Guest dbsk_star]

i wouldnt try it, especially if you have sensitive skin...it might harm your skin..

[Guest paradox^]

I buy there sometimes, but only if I see a good brand.

Sometimes they have name brands. It's more about the fun though. I'm just happy that I got something for $1, I guess >.<

Bought a lipgloss ther once..

NEVER again will í go back and buy make up there.

Their lipgloss made my lip crack and it dried it up SO BAD.

lol the makeup i see in my local dollar store are all caking inside their packaging... they dont look very good.

its honestly not worth the risk.

i'd advise you spend an extra 4 or 5 dollar on drugstore products instead.. =/

[Guest xoxo.poppinv]

you shouldnt use the foundations i think... but eyeshadow, eyeliner & lip gloss is fine. my friend jacked eyeshadow and eyeliner and gave it to me and it works pretty well, but my friend bought the lipgloss and it turns out pretty nice... but id rather stick to the face shop or chanel ect.

seriously. everyone in this thread is talking like you'll get cancer or something. and its funny coz most of the people on soompi buzz about mac products when their studio fixes are comedegenic fosho

to my knowledge..there is nothing wrong with dollar-store makeup...

i read in a bobbie brown (makeup guru) that when you're experimenting with makeup...go for dollar-store stuff...

it's cheap and it'll be fun to experiment and if you end up not liking the makeup, you won't feel as bad when throwing it out.
