All throughout high school I was a Clinique girl….Everything was Clinique BUT then for some strange reason the foundation started breaking my face out so I went back and forth between various name brands, none of which I liked.
In college, I went to South Africa one summer and my parents came over to visit. One of the girls on the trip[we happened to be roommates] used Estee Lauder. I tried it one day and fell in love with these 2 products, so I asked my mom to buy them and bring them over.
Estée Lauder Signature[Silky Powder Blush]
This may sound crazy BUT I promise I’m telling truth….This blush was the best $40 I may have ever spent[well really my mom]…It LASTED me 3 years. SERIOUSLY! I just finished using it…as you can tell from the below picture! AND I used it everyday….sometimes twice a day!
I LOVE this foundation because it last so long throughout the day!
Take a look at Kelly’s Korner [Show us your life Friday today] to see what hundreds of other women use in makeup, and other products…

i have the same dilemma every time. but the good stuff really does last longer than the grocery store brands. and you know you'll love the estee lauder. if you try something new, you might hate it and then have wasted that money and think "why didn't i just go with what i know works." or at least, that's what i've done too many times to count!
I'm the same way! I use Arbonne skincare and it's expensive, even though I get a discount for selling it. I'm out of several products right now and have been using several drugstore products to get me by until I can get some more Arbonne. I have been so disappointed in everything I have tried. I think if you have a product that you love and there is anyway you can afford it - buy it! I love to save $ when I can, but it's not worth it not to be happy and to waste $ on a product you end up hating.
I use to be a clinique girl too! I would only use the foundation and powder and lip gloss (and OCCASSIONALLY eye shadow) from there tho and get everything else at target or something. Now I use Bare Minerals and LOVE IT! I get all my make up in that brand except eyeliner and mascara. I think it is cheaper than clinique and at the most the same price but it last longer!
I say if the product lasts forever and you really love it then YES buy it again. Chances are you will not be as happy with the cheaper products. You can always cut down on costs by buying cheaper mascara's, lipsticks..etc.. I use a maybelline mascara that I LOVE and would not even consider buying a more expensive brand!!
Thanks for sharing your favorites, I enjoyed reading!
Have a great weekend!
