Have you been to Sephora lately? That stuff's expensive! Hard to believe they've only been in the United States since 1998, and yet they're all over the place.
Yes I go to them but only when they have a sell they are expensive.
I used to take my roommate Rebecca all the time, because she would always say, "where else can I find nearly 300 brands of makeup?"
Lol that is funny that is alot of brands I only prefer MAC makeup and some of sephora natural brands would she buy makeup often? 
We would go every week to see what was new.  She would avoid MAC because she would also say, "only the French really know cosmetics." 
She is right though the French is very well known in makeup and fashion for that matter they are creative. What brand do you prefer?
Considering I'm a guy, I don't wear makeup, although she did get me this nail polish one day called, "Home Sweet Chrome." And the cheapskate bought it at Wal-Mart! I still heart her face though.
lol I am sorry when you would take your .roommate I assumed lol well when and if you are married at least you can help your significant other out in choosing a store and brand.
