Buying High End Cosmetics for Cheap Prices

RE: Buying High End Cosmetics for Cheap Prices Post By Cathy (Guest Post) (09/30/2006) Be careful with these, especially if they are manufactured out of the country in a poor country (eg. China). I was watching a TV report on terrorists mass-producing fakes perfumes and products that are flooding the markets and discount stores. They are not genuine items, so that is why you are getting a bargain. Testing even showed urine and toxic chemicals in the fake perfumes. They are so good that experts have a hard time telling the difference, especially in packaging. I wouldn't buy them again.

I bought some 'brand name' cosmetic products once at a $1.00 store and didn't notice the date.....when I got home, it said 1999! I ended up throwing it away as it had turned rancid. I always check dates...also when you go to Costco...check their dates as they have stuff outdated on the shelves a lot!

They usually are not manufactured to U.S. standards and may contain ingredients that your skin or body aren't used to. Not that they would "hurt" you, but they may irritate or make you ill...
