Normally, your first instinct is off brand food, cheap candy and other miscellaneous items that you probably will never need in your life but at such a low price point you feel compelled to spend at least $10 every trip. Would you ever consider buying makeup there? I was always skeptical over this. How can their makeup be good for your skin since it's so cheap? Does it really last for a few hours, or does it fade within 10 minutes after application? My mind was always tormented with the how's and why's until I decided to give it a shot. I was in need of some new eye shadow and wasn't in a position to spend upwards of $30 just to restock on various colors of eyeshadow. I spent a total of $8 (plus tax) which covered an eyeshadow brush, blush brush, liquid eyeliner, and five compacts of eyeshadow. I was very anxious to get started.
I have to add that I have very sensitive skin and can not use most makeup brands on my face. I have an allergy to a lot of makeup brands that claim to be hypo-allergenic or are meant for sensitive skin. When I started using the dollar store brand of makeup, I kept my allergy medicine handy just in case I broke out into a rash or worse. I am very pleased to announce that not only does the makeup last five to seven hours with out a touch up, also I had no adverse reaction to the makeup. No rash, no itchy eyes, no hives - nada! I couldn't believe it and part of me still can't believe it - to be honest. I have been using it for almost a month now and still have had no issues whatsoever. The liquid eyeliner goes on smooth, doesn't smudge and looks great. The brush is thin enough to do a basic line around your eye, or add curved lines on the side of your face, or create the "cat eye" look.
