Grrr... What's wrong w/ stores out here?!

I was in Wally World again today, and looked HARD for brands outside of Revlon, Maybelline, Max Factor, Cover Girl... Uh-huh... Well, aside from those brands, the only other ones were Vital Radiance, Almay, Neutrogena, Physicians Formula, NYC (barely), Rimmel, and Mary-Kate & Ashley... Where's the Milani? Where's NYX? Do I have to go to an actual drug store? I mean, Eckerds doesn't have crap either, and as I mentioned before, CVS is about 25-30 mins. away... This is frustrating! If I'm going to drive that far, shouldn't I just go to MAC or Chanel? Sorry, minor rant there about living in the boonies and not having a lot of choices!!!

Re: Grrr... What's wrong w/ stores out here?!

I can only find Milani at CVS, and even then the CVS's I've been to only carry half the single eyeshadows and none of the quads. I have not found NYX at CVS or Walgreens. And I've been to several drugstores in two different states over the past few years! All the Walmarts I've been to have the same brands you mentioned... The Targets I've been to also have the same brands plus Sonia Kashuk.

I ended up buying my Milani quads from www.walgreens.com -- they don't have all the new or limited edition colors, but they have a lot of quads and singles. You can also buy NYX from www.nyxcosmetics.com but the website is about twice as expensive as what you'd find in a drugstore! But still cheaper than department store makeup, at least

That's too bad. I am lucky that I live in a place where all those brands are available. Perhaps try calling before you go. Check to see if they have the brand.

Re: Grrr... What's wrong w/ stores out here?!

Or else you could ask a CP to someone who lives on a place that has those brands... But i think you want to see them first, am i correct?

Re: Grrr... What's wrong w/ stores out here?!

I stopped going to Wal-Mart for makeup. I go to Harmon Discount now, they have the best prices. They have all the brands I love. They don't have NYX; I've yet to see those anywhere in my area. I've seen them listed on ebay for really cheap but I haven't given them a try yet.

i only find Milani at CVS and Nyx at some beauty store far from my place. Maybe you can just buy online if you really want.

Re: Grrr... What's wrong w/ stores out here?!

i'm sorry you're feeling a little frustrated. maybe in the yellow pages u can find other
stores in your area.

try looking up stores like harmons and walgreens. also, u might want to try discount stores like target or kmart.

Re: Grrr... What's wrong w/ stores out here?!

Well, I reckon I'm just gonna keep on truckin' on w/ Stila, MAC & Chanel until I can get my hands on some d/s brands... Maybe I should have someone do a CP... If anyone doesn't mind that is...

I have the same problem. I have never even seen NYX cosmetics in my life! I can find Milani at CVS, but it is always picked over and since most of the display is empty, I don't even look at it. An empty display is so undesirable!
