I've mentioned this before, but for me, I have really bad reactions to cheaper products. I find I can buy the more expensive brands and not have the same reactions. For example, I bought some NYX stuff on Friday to try out b/c it was $3 as opposed to mac pigment at $22. I put it on about 2pm and wore it to work. Big mistake. By 4pm, my eyes were red and watery. By 6pm (yes, I was dumb and didn't wash it off right away) my eyes were swollen little slits. After Benedryl and a good face scrub I was ok. I just don't have that kind of reaction to MAC pigment so for me the $22 is worth it. If I found a cheap product that worked without causing me to look like a blowfish, I would happily purchase it. So I guess I'm not a makeup snob, but my skin is.
