“I think that no matter our age, finding a great bargain is a rather unforgettable experience,” she explains in the video and later reiterated to me over the phone. “In fact, I have a hunch most people can easily think of their best-ever bargain buys. I just happen to be wearing a bargain I found while holiday shopping last December. This could be a bathing-suit cover-up, but I like to wear it as a summer duster. It was on sale at H&M for $3.”
Despite my mom’s love for affordably priced makeup, she never wants to sacrifice an expensive-looking, upscale result, and she’s shared with me that many of her older clients are wary of cheaper drugstore formulas, assuming they’ll end up looking “cheap” or “tacky.”
