I need my ladies for help--or drag queens, for that matter (I like glitzy and glamorous, too!)--on beauty and makeup, plus nails as well. I want to know what and where you buy, what makeup you like best, and more. Don't be limited by the examples; if you use a different store or whatever, just say so. So, on with the questions:

1. Do you have a favorite store(s) to buy? Do you prefer to buy online or in person? (For example, Sephora/Sephora.com, Wal-mart, CVS, JC Penney, Macy's, etc.)

2. Around what price do you usually pay for your cosmetics? If you've bought cheaper- and higher-priced kinds, do you feel you get more QUALITY for your money if you pay more? (For example, cheap--around $1-3, average--around $8-10, a bit higher--$16-20, high--$25-50, or more.)

3. Do you prefer to buy in palettes (several choices of a makeup, like 24 shades of eye shadow, multiple shades of blush, several colors of lipstick, etc., either all on one palette, or a variety of any one type of makeup in a palette) or individual items? Why?

4. Do you buy false eyelashes? Do you have a favorite brand? Why?

5. Sephora.com offers many brands I don't see in general, although I've heard of them (such as Urban Decay). Macy's offers MAC cosmetics. Do you have a favorite brand(s)? Why? Do you have favorite brands for each type of cosmetic (like a favorite brand of lipstick, a favorite maker of nail polish, etc.)?

6. Have you tried lip tattoos, or other makeup that is applied like a sticker? How do you like them? Are they easy to put on and take off? Do you have a favorite brand(s)?

7. It's been a long time since I've been to a makeup counter, like at JC Penney's. (I usually shop at places like Wal-mart or CVS.) Can you get free samples of makeup, or is that only for product like age-defying products?

8. Where can I get lip conditioner? Is it in the beauty section, or is that like Chapstick and stuff?

9. What's your favorite type of lip liner, eye liner, and any other items you want to mention? (For example, do you prefer a pencil eye liner to a liquid eye liner, cream eye shadow to powder, etc.?)

And, a final question, just because I saw this at Sephora.com and wondered:

10. Does anyone really need this many mascaras? http://www.sephora.com/lash-stash-P376731

Thanks to all in advance for those who will take the time to answer this and help me make wise beauty decisions.
