What's the Difference?
Is there a difference in quality between beauty products sold in durg stores and beauty products sold in department/specialty stores? There are diffrences, but some have larger ones than others. For instance, most foundations sold in drugstores have more "filler (stuff that really does't need to be in there)" ingredients than actual pigment. Most foundations sold at department/specialty stores have more pigment, less "filler," and gentler ingredients. I have not seen much of a difference in quality between expensive and cheap eyeliners; the ones I've tried have glided on nicely and stayed in place for most of the day or night (my favorites are Avon Oval Options Eye Pencil, Wet N' Wild Eye Liner, and NYC Eye Liner, NYC Oval Pencil).
Every month or so, I'm going to put my skin, hair, nails, and wallet at stake just so you can know which products really do what they claim to do and which ones don't. I will compare two of the same product, one from a drugstore and one from a department/specialty store. After trying them out, I will let you know whether there is a significant difference between them or not. Sometimes, I will try only one product (I'll try my best to test fairly new ones) and review it. I'll let you know which products I feel are best and which ones to stay away from.
I know everyone has a different opinion, so I invite you to try them also and email me your opinions! The very first product comparison is between Bourjois Coup de Theatre False Lash Illusion Duo Mascara
