Why shouldn't I buy some nice make up and cosmetics at half the price the expensive Department stores?
Same thing half the price?
Why not?
Management is not uniform from store to store no matter what the brand. How many times have you been in a McDonalds in which the employees were surly and incompetent, service was slow, and you often get what you didn't order? And then the next McDonalds runs like a well oiled machine with competent employees and a precision product served quickly and correctly? The difference of course is in the management. Some are far better at it than others.
Same with Target and Walmart. Our nearest Walmart Super Center is sparkly clean, well organized, well kept, and enjoys a cheerful, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Our nearest Target, not so much.

I know. In my area--it would be a 45 minute drive to reach a 'better' Walmart. The closer one has issues with its clientele--closes at 11 PM, etc. I happened to be in the area and thought=='Go ahead and get the socks and also a package of ornament hangers.' The 'disorder or messiness' just made me want to leave and so I did.
Speaking of MacDonalds. I thought--why not try the new eggwhite McMuffin and I ordered one with a diet coke. I received a regular Egg McMuffin and a regular coke. C'est La Vie. It was 'on the way'. The 'better' MacDonald's---you have to navigate the busy intersection and 5/6 lanes of traffic.
I am not a regular patron of any of these stores or in fact, of many stores. I used to think the Clinique make up products were worth the $ and I bought them at Macy's. I am not so certain now. After reading some threads on make up posters who seem very knowledgeable expressed differing opinions. Occasionally I try an item from other lines. I can't really say 'better or worse'. Younger skin would help---lol.

If you're really concerned about good makeup for your individual skin to the point where you're willing to pay for Clinique, I suggest discussing the issue with a dermatologist and getting HIS recommendation. It's not just that all makeup is not the same; one makeup isn't the same from person to person.

Or you could be somebody like me whose skin seems to be allergic to everything. I can't use Max Factor or Revlon, for instance, without getting major bad reaction. But I've never had a bad reaction from the cheap, mundane Maybelline. You just never know.
At least Walmart usually carries a pretty good selection of all of the more affordable brands of makeup. Not so much the really expensive stuff.
I have consulted with a dermatologist and I have rosacea and other skin issues. Clinique offers products that help somewhat with that. I buy those. I don't buy 'everything'.
I've always wondered how much difference could there be in eye shadow, mascara and related products?
I think the 'better' brands charge for better packaging in some cases? That is a cost that bothers me. I've become aware of how things are packaged. Despise the excessive use of plastic in the discount stores. Surely there could be some better way. I suppose 'security' of the product is an issue? Someone/anyone could go insane and find a way to insert poison into anything. Meanwhile a staggering amount of plastic waste must be growing.
Consume less and less--I try to do that.

One reason that comes to mind is service. The folks at Nordstrom, etc., can provide valuable end-user advice, Just a thought. Liberals are brainwashed not to think.

No, there really are differences in formulas and materials. Don't get me wrong; part of what you're paying for with a name brand is ALWAYS the name brand itself. But I have four different types of mascara in my makeup box, and I can tell you that every one of them goes on differently, looks different, lasts different against water and smudging . . . they're not kidding about that at all. And my daughter gets completely different results with the exact same stuff.
Also I don't NEED service to buy makeup. I just need access to the product. And if I find my skin tolerates and responds well to the cheaper stuff better than it does to most of the more expensive stuff--I doubt you can even buy Maybelline or Cover Girl at Nordstrums for instance--well I have a hard time finding a downside to that.

the downside for liberals is that they don't like you exercising your rights as a free American making decisions that don't suit them.

too stupid!! Obviously she has decided through the free market that the overall value at Walmart is superior. Libturd socialist geniuses would pass laws against our personal decisions and WalMart's low prices so we'd all be subservient to them and poor thanks to the higher liberal prices.
And please dont flatter yourself, as a brainwashed liberal you're not capable of just a thought
But don't doubt for a minute that if they were somehow successful in their anti-Walmart campaign that they wouldn't then set their sights on whatever wound up at the top after Walmart was gone.

The best service anyone can find would be through their own research and knowledge of the product they are looking for. I used to shop at Nordstrom all the time, had a person shopper named Alison and met the Nordstrom's when they opened up a store in my area a few years ago. Indeed, I would go specifically to Nordstrom to talk about clothes and shoes and all the good stuff.
Currently, I shop at Nordstrom only when the person I am shopping for wants something from there. The service used to be incomparable and was a leader in the industry. I still go to look at shoes, use their tailor when necessary and do not buy perfume or cologne there anymore.
They even put out a nifty book.....

Of course most of us, when we need expert advice on something, shop where we can get that kind of service. But I don't think anybody should be so naive as not to understand that they PAY for that expert advice. If it is worth it, it is money well spent. Most Walmart shoppers though know pretty much what they want and recognize it when they see it, and they don't need anybody to guide them. I am that kind of shopper and in most cases, unless I need counsel on somthing say for computer equipment, I enjoy shopping at my own pace and not having a sales clerk fidgiting at my shoulder.

Only advice I need from the WalMart folks is where they hid the item I'm looking for the last time they rearranged the store. If I don't already know how to tell which brand to choose, I research it at home before going shopping.
