** Do check out Target (Sonia Kashuk), you will be surprised to find it carries some wonderful qaulity beauty product at low cost. Like the Sonia Kashuk -- her brush is amzaing, and only 1/3 price of Shu Uemura
** Do check out some local beauty supply shop, they carry some "odd" brand.
** Barney`s New York and Neiman Marcus, both have wonderful high end selection.
