So you may have noticed a lot of drug store makeup brands being reviewed here by me. It isn't that I dislike high end brands, in fact I love MAC, and have a nice small collection going. I even own some other "high end" brands, but while I love them my wallet....well doesn't. I am a working cosmetologist, and I'm awaiting to take my state board practical exam, once I complete that and get my actual license I will be able to get enroll in discount programs from the major "high end" brands. Which will enable me to purchase more of those brands.
