Shopping At Drugstore

Cheap things aren't good. Good things don't come cheap. True or false?

FALSE

You can get great skincare products and a decent selection of makeup colors that are kind to your skin at very affordable prices at the drugstore.

That's the beauty of mass production. Yes, they might use cheaper ingredients in drugstore brands than in the upmarket brands, but the science behind the skin care and makeup is the same. You'd save through their use of cheaper alternatives, less marketing and bulk purchases of raw materials. The economies of scale allow companies to produce effective beauty products at a lower cost, passing much of the savings to you, the customer.

Drugstores stock up on these brands meant for the mass market. Maybelline makeup, especially the mascara, is cheap and good. Neutrogena skincare, meant for the mass market, is kind to the skin and nasty towards the acne. Take a look at this. Buy Neutrogena Face & Body MicroDermabrasion System for $45.99 at drugstore.com.. How much would that cost in a clinic? Granted, a DIY kit wouldn't give you the results you'd get in a doctor's clinic but you'd still get decent results at a fraction of the price.

Personally, I love gifts with purchases. A trait I learnt from mom. She'd buy stuff when there's a gift with purchase promo and keep the free gifts for travel (especially the travel size items) or to stock up when her current supplies run out.
