Um... To be clear, you are looking for "unique" items. Yet the ones you have listed there are all big name-brand designers. Of course they are going to be expensive. You then say ..."stores or websites that have this kind of stuff." Are you referring to the former, name-brand products? Because anywhere you look will typically be in a set range for Dior.

I think she means unique as in the type of palettes they're offering and what not.
ie: like other holiday themed makeups.

So much for my heterosexual help. I really thought I was on to something.

It's okay, it's effort and intent that matter.

Lawlypop is right, I meant "unique" like unique packaging, colours, styles, etc. I know Dior and Marc Jacobs aren't unique, but those two specific products are (moreso than most other eyeshadow palette you would find in a makeup section.
I'm looking for stores like Shoppers or The Bay that sell these kinds of items, just cheaper. (Though I know Shoppers and The Bay don't sell this kind of stuff)

I tried to search for the same type of products, but no luck :(! Seems like we just don't have them here I guess. The only store I know of that has a similar type of idea is Holt Renfrew. Although I haven't been to it in a few months =/. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! But you're right these prices are really expensive!

Wish I could help, but the only makeup I pay "attention" to is eyeliner and even then I just buy my makeup at Shoppers, lol.
Have you tried browsing some makeup gurus on youtube? They might have a lot of ideas for the coming holidays and whatnot.
And IDK if makeup websites/companies do this, but maybe subscribe to an RSS feed or a blog to a certain company (ie: mac). (I'd be surprised if no company has done this yet)

Because they're 80 dollars... for a little thing of eyeshadow/powder.
...
I don't feel like this warrants an explanation. XDD

These specific prodcuts are pricey. I'm looking for something like a makeup palette clutch, but not for $80 (or some similar product). I haven't been able to find any reasonably priced ones online, or even many that ship to Canada (without costing like $20 more in shipping) |

Cosmetics are a lot cheaper at Duty Free stores. Not sure this applies to you, but if you have friends or family that will be able to buy stuff from duty free stores (airport/border), you could maybe ask them to make the purchases for you? Otherwise, you can scope sites like www.redflagdeals.com for warehouse sales of these brand name products. Actually, maybe you should post your question on that site... those folks are pretty up-to-date on where to find great deals for everything. |
