Do you think drugstore brands can really compete with high-end brands? Why/why not?
In certain ways, yes. I would say a mid-end brand is better positioned to really compete, because when you reduce price, you have to reduce costs somewhere else. You might not get the fancy packaging of high-end makeup, but I think the products themselves can compete. Many of the drugstore brands come from conglomerates that own high-end brands, and a lot of the technology that the high-end brand develops will trickle down to other brands within the parent company.

I think I was sixteen or seventeen when I blew a ton of allowance on Benefit Cosmetics, but I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup in high school, so I didn’t get much opportunity to wear it! My best friend was REALLY into makeup, so I think I was trying to find more common ground with her at the time.
I’m excited to read your answers, because I don’t have a clue! I wear all black whenever I am really swatching things – I have “swatching pants.”
I never thought about it, but I suppose I don’t! I thought back to some of those memorable events and can’t really remember what I wore. These days, I tend to wear Chanel Dragon on special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) but it’s more of a default look.
I haven’t really tried it much myself, so I couldn’t say. It seems like something I would be too lazy to bother with.
