Omg I'm OBSESSED with makeup!! It's so bad! I do not have the funds for the high end stuff but I swear I'd sell my soul for it!! There's just have to be a way! Any suggestions??

Well there are fake high end brand names but those are made in China and can be found online. Just type in google: MAC cosmetics cheap and you will find many sites. Though their shipping costs are high and depending on how much you buy you can get free shipping.
But if you want good makeup products and are not high end names then why not get them on sale when drugstores have a sale? You can get buy 1 get 1 50% off CVS, Rite Aide etc.do these deals.

You are not alone! BL is a major enabler for me. If you follow any YT's definitely sign up for all their giveaways. During this time year giveaways are in high-number. A lot of makeup lines also do giveaway contests on their Facebook or Twitter accounts.

I would love to see a Beautylish meetup. Its great that we interact here but person-to-person would be awesome.

Traci L.

Ohhh no I'm not joining that again lol I wasn't very happy not shopping lol.

I'm with Traci. Splurge on the pricey stuff but mix with more affordable goodies. Lately I've been enjoying my drugstore finds and a lot of them rival my high-end stuff in regards to pigmentation and longevity.

Traci, too funny, I don't think I'm capable of not doing either. Lol.

Shelley, a meetup would be awesome, I don't know about you ladies and others, but I don't know any other ladies that are beauty addicts personally, so it would be great to meet BL girls face to face. Maybe for a shopping outing. Ha ha ha.

That would be awesome.

Chanel foundation is awesome, I only have a few Chanel items, but I love them.

A meet up would be awesome! Its amazing the friendships I've made here and seen others making! BL is so much more than a beauty site- its like girltalk/coffee break 24/7.

I'm down for a meetup...just getting folks to commit...hmmm.

Well what if someone got a hotel to setup a package for it, posted a link, and then ladies could choose whether to book or not? Would that work for you ladies? I have some friends in the hospitality industry in Chicago that work in management at major hotels. If anyone is serious I could probably get something setup.

Dec 9, 2013

Kelly H.

And that way everyone could go to a regular hotel website and book it, so no funny business.

I'm with you, Stephanie! I splurge on high end stuff a little too much, but its all stuff I really want. I know I really want it if I can't stop thinking about it. I don't buy high end blush, mascara or eye liners but foundation, lip stick and eye shadow I have no problem droppings the bucks on. I limit myself to one high end item a month and I only pay cash for it. Its a lot more satisfying if I save up for it and buy it with hard earned cash.

Stephanie M.

See I have the opposite problem...I want Mac and lorac and Kat Von d but I never but them because I feel too guilty because I have two kids! I think if I just had one high end eye shadow palette I'd be somewhat.satisfied but again I just feel so guilty!!

Dec 9, 2013

Don't feel guilty! I'm sure you're providing for your kids just fine, so why not provide for yourself? its nice to splurge on yourself from time to time. check out Hautelook.com. sometimes they have some really great high end makeup brands for cheap. The Balm and Lorac is on there a lot. and don't worry, its a nordstroms company so its all legit stuff. keep an eye out for sales online too. sometimes urban decay.com or or tart will have 20% off.
