Drugstore vs High End Battle

Do you prefer drugstore skincare? Or do you tend to go towards high-end lines? Whats the main reasoning for your choices? I'm a high end skincare person (for the most part). Though there are some really nice "drugstore" options. 😊

Yup, i agree. I buy product that have what ingredients I want and worthy with the price. My quote 'Why I need to buy expensive products when I can get lower price'

I go with good brands and if they have good products and ingredients and things that would tackle my skin concerns. I also look at how much product I’m getting for whatever the price is. I like my products to last me for awhile and get my money’s worth out of it and not have to buy it every single month but more every few months. I’m not paying $85 and only getting 1.5 oz, which is why I don’t shop youth to the people for example. Also my version of ā€œhigh endā€ might be someone else’s version of drugstore and vice versa. For me and my budget, higher end brands would include Paulas Choice lol.

drugstore! also because high end is not in my budget and there are plenty of options that are drugstore but good quality. I did purchase some more expensive makeup, but I hardly use them and go for the affordable one…

I don't really believe in the higher the price the more effective it is. There are drug store brands that I've tried which my skin loves. And I've had a fair share of expensive products which didn't really work no matter how expensive it is. The ingredients matter, sometimes they have the same ingredients and effects on the skin but what makes it expensive is because you're paying for the name of the brand. I just stick to what suits my skin, it doesn't matter if they're drug store bought, as long as they're effective and does the work. I'm not a hater of high end products though, because there are really expensive ones that are HG for a lot of people. If you have money to spend and that product works wonder on your skin, good for you, you do you 😊
