That is wrong in so many ways. Do any of us realize how much in debt to China that the United States actually is right now? Yet we keep sending money we don't have to help other countries nonetheless. When I have bought anything of Nars it wasn't a deal at all. It was the same as if I went to the store or maybe a dollar cheaper. Do these Chinese dupes have the same pigmentation as the Nars brand? If so, again how lucky chinese women are to be able to do their faces for such little money.(if this is the case I need to make a pen pal in china quickly since my finances are going so badly that buying my beloved Nars will be out of the question for quite awhile) Our drugstore brands have gotten so expensive that I refuse to buy them unless its a wet n wild which thankfully hasn't increased their prices of what a drugstore item will cost or a nail polish of which I have plenty. I have never bought a drugstore brand sans a mascara that I would ever make a repeat purchase of, its all so gimmicky without the quality. Hopefully my Nars exhibit A & mounia will last me until this hardship ends.....thats the one great thing about their blushes. Each one I own only needs the lightest touch with the exception of orgasm which is pretty, but not my thing to have pale glittery cheeks. I keep waiting for the day to come when Nars pigmentation changes in realization that they might get more business if they ran out more quickly. Everything that good never stays the same.
I myself was taken on ebay for 9 pan eyeshadow that was promised to be genuine. I have bought many great makeup items through ebay, but never will I pay close to full price for anything ever again.
When I became sick 8 months ago I began watching youtube Guru's which is the worst thing you can do if you are layed up feeling icky. They make you think you have to have things you didn't need and the spending spree began! I had plenty of makeup before watching these channels.
I can tell you with great honestly if you are a mac fan and are not a rich person that sigma brushes, especially their premium set is just as good as MAC, and many many fellow makeup artists have since sold and given away their MAC brushes and now use Sigma instead. If nothing else their synthetic face set is something so beyond the quality of the price and no of few other high end brands that even offer such a great set of three brushes. (sorry so long I tend to ramble) I am not affiliated with Sigma, make no video's, bought them with my own money, so you can take my word that my advice is genuine.
I am so sorry for all of us that this has happened to. It would be so much better if one drugstore brand would step up their game just a little so we of the noveau poor could still purchase a couple of pretty things now and then. xo
