Other places to buy beauty products
-Online retailers such as Amazon.com - you can find some good deals here
-Mall stores or free-standing stores - these can be specific to one brand like M.A.C. or Bare Escentuals
-Outlet stores - if you're lucky enough to have a discounted beauty store at your outlet mall you can find high end brands for a cheaper price. They each have different inventory and brands/products may vary.
-eBay - you might be surprised to know that many people buy beauty items from eBay. You should be careful if you go this route though as there are people on eBay selling fakes (and they may look like exact replicas!)
I'm pretty sure I covered most of the bases when it comes to types of stores you can buy your beauty products from. I obviously didn't list out every store or site - that list would be never ending! So where do you make your beauty purchases from? In-store or online? Where do you think you get the best rewards or deals?
