[quote=Anonymous]Most drugstores let you return with receipt for cash or store credit without receipt, even if it's opened.  It's great for someone like me; either everything breaks me out or I have a hard time finding a shade that matches.  This way I can buy 2 or 3 shades that I think are likely, figure out which is the closest match to my skin, and test drive it for a week or so.  I can take back the ones that don't match or if it breaks me out.

My other issue is that I feel guilty spending money on myself.  I can't justify spending $20 to $30 on mascara when I'll have to toss it in 3 to 6 months, but I don't mind if it's only $6 to $8 for something like Maybelline or Cover Girl.  And the really nice thing about DS shopping is there's always a sale or a cash back offer going on.

Brands like Milani or NYX or ELF are just as good as higher end brands.  I use ELF's primer and I'm amazed it only costs $6.  ELF makes a setting powder that's a dupe of MUFE's.

To the PP looking for lipstick recs, Revlon Super Lustrous, Cover Girl Lip Perfection, and Milani Color Statement lipsticks are all nicely pigmented, long lasting and (for me at least) non drying.  My personal favorites are the Milani lipsticks.  Their colors are flattering on most skin tones and they smell like jolly ranchers (it fades quickly though, if scented make up isn't your thing).  The baked blushes are really nice too.  I've heard Luminoso is a dupe for Nars Orgasm.
