Have you ever purchased something that was "name brand" or expensive only to realize later that it was utter crap?
I bought an Urban Decay essentials kit and it came with their "cult favorite" Midnight Cowboy eyeshadow. It looked very pretty in the package. A kinda pink based neutral champagne/beige. Opened it up and tested it on my hand. GLITTER GALORE! Not shimmer. Not micro glitter. CONFETTI countable chunks of glitter. And by itself, Urban Decay charges $16 dollars for it. Totally not worth it when you can get preteen glittery makeup for 99 cents. |

brands > everything.
i'll pay $50 for a plain white tee at say Urban Outfitters over a $5 plain white tee at Wal-Mart, even though they still look alike. |

Everyone can tell if you paid money for it and didnt find it at thriftstore even if they look exactly the same. But your lucky enough to be able to afford it. |
