Be Confident of Quality

Hello, I’m Nina, your blog-host! It’s time we get this blog-a-rockin’ so you have a chance to really interact with us here on Get Your Beauty.

I think a good way to start us off is with answering a fantastic question that was posed in our comments section:

"What is the difference in your cosmetics and other cosmetics like I would purchase in large department store? I can already tell the price is a lot less; but am I sacrificing quality, or are your cosmetics as great as I hear?"

The difference between the product lines available on Get Your Beauty and those that you purchase at a department store counter has nothing to do with the lesser quality of any of the products.

At a department store a lot of money is put into the marketing and advertising of the product lines. For instance everyone has heard of MAC makeup. We’ve all seen the beautiful and crazy ads in magazines, we see celebrity faces in the ads, we see the fabulous posters--- producing such a household name to the degree they have takes a lot of time, effort, and money. In order to make up for those man hours, celebrity contracts, and the money spent, they have to add that into the price of the products you’re purchasing. That doesn’t mean they’re sacrificing their quality, but it might mean you’re paying more for that makeup.

Now take for instance, Cinema Secrets makeup. I know a lot of people may never have realized they made beauty makeup, or have never heard of it, unless you’re a professional makeup artist or from the Southern California area. Even then, it still might be a new thing to you. They produce a quality professional product that does what it promises to do. This company has been used on numerous television shows, movies, and some of the most expensive faces in the world, but instead of paying for endorsements and expensive ad space, they’ve left their marketing to a more viral and word-of-mouth advertising to get the word out, not to mention the name tell you…”Shh, it’s a cinema secret”. Because of the money saved in that vane, the price of their products is much less than you’d expect to see at a counter.

Both instances show you quality product lines. They’re just approached in different ways. Just because a product is more expensive, does that necessarily make it better?

Not at all! There will, of course, always be a few ‘inexpensive’ product lines that will skimp on quality; but, I can assure you as a professional makeup artist and product junky, that anything you’ll find on this site, regardless of price, deserves your confidence as a client. These products have been used by numerous professionals as well the general public. They are all product lines that you will undoubtedly want to use, wear, or play with.

So go forth and play!
