I've always loved makeup. Ever since I was a child, I would watch my mom put all this fancy lipstick and blush on her face and couldn't wait until the day I would have my own set of makeup! Middle school came around and I began trying to wear makeup like mascara and eyeshadow. Now fast forward about 8 years and makeup is one of my favorite things! I love doing makeup, buying new makeup tools, and trying new eye makeup (eye makeup is my personal fav)!

However, I am not your "typical" makeup loving girl. My younger sister, who loves makeup almost as much as I do, is what I would consider the typical makeup loving girl! Shopping at stores such as Sephora, MAC, and Ulta are ways she loves to get makeup because it's considered "fancier" and "more affective". I'm quite the opposite! When I go to get my makeup, I love going to places such as CVS Pharmacy and Kroger!

So what's really the big difference here? Not how the makeup actually looks or even really the quality of the makeup!

It's the price.

Girls who love makeup like my sister and I seem to put together the idea that more expensive means nicer or fancier. Even though this is a common idea in society, my sister and I can attest to the fact that our makeup and "faces" with our makeup look basically the same although she uses makeup that costs 3x the price of mine! I get the same looks for less and still feel beautiful and confident with makeup that's not from high end cosmetic stores!

I'll always love makeup, I know that will never change! But I also know, I don't think I will ever allow myself to spend as much money as some girls do at high end stores for makeup that looks the exact same as something you can get from Walmart or CVS!
