First of all, beauty advisors working in department stores make no where near $30 an hour! After 5 years of employment, I made 10 dollars an hour plus 3 percent commission. Additionally, there are many brands that test on animals including L’Oréal, a drugstore brand and Lancome, a department store brand. If you prefer cruelty free products that are mostly natural ingrediants, Physicians Formula, a drugstore brand and Urban Decay and Tarte, department store brands, are worth investing in. Also, as a 29 year old who gets mistaken for 22, I can testify personally that department store skincare is far superior to drugstore skincare, although I do like a lot of the natural organic skincare available at Target.

My Estee Lauder DoubleWear foundation, for example, is the absolute best I have ever tried, and I’ve tried almost every drugstore brand of foundation. It covers better than any of them, hands down.

Estee Lauder mascara is also amazing, but it has more to do with the shape of the brush than the mascara formula. I buy organic mascara for everyday wear, and save my Estee Lauder for special occasions.

Otherwise, I find that drugstore brands work just fine for me (except E.L.F., which I think is cheap cr*p and refuse to ever purchase again).
