So, in a lot of countries all over the world,
going to the pharmacy or to the drugstore doesn't really sound like a good time.
It's where you go to pick up medications and stuff like that.
But that's not how it works in the US! Definitely not!
You can find press-on nails, nail polish, make-up,
candy, party balloons, birthday cards, everything!
I know it might sound weird, but in the US,
convenience stores are kid-friendly places.
And you can find toys and groceries...
I mean most of the time, people don't actually go to a drugstore
to get medicine, although you can.
But that isn't always the reason why people go.
Hey, maybe you want to just pick up some cosmetics!
You can find all sorts of make-up, perfume, nail polish,
moisturizers, kind of almost whatever you can think of!
Oh, look at that giant bottle of argan oil! Wow, that's really good!
Oh, hey! So, back to what we were talking about before,
if you're looking for a specific brand, or even a luxurious brand,
then chances are, you want to go to one of those specialized stores for that.
The advantage of going to those stores is that you'll have sales reps
who can help make suggestions for you,
or answer any specific questions you might have.
But if you're thinking price,
now this is something that you really need to look into,
because you're going to find really good deals all over the place.
I'm talking about some " buy one get, one free" offers,
or lots of variations on that.
Because I know I've seen some "buy one, get two free"
or, "buy one, get one 50% off".
I mean, there's lots of possibilities there
that you should really, really take advantage of.
You definitely want to reserve some time
to check these out, because they're so worth it!
Hi, guys! I'm here with Gabriel,
who is a make-up sales professional
and we're going to find out a lot about make-up
and buying it in America!
So, what is the best place to buy it? A drugstore? Online? A specialty boutique?
It really depends on what you're looking for.
If you're looking for just something for day to day
you can get that at a pharmacy.
Or just a local kind of little cheaper store, that's fine.
But if you're looking for higher end, maybe better blushes
and eyeshadows and that kind of make-up,
it's better to go to a specialty store because they'll usually have people like me,
who are familiar with all the products in the store,
and they'll be able to help you pick an item that'll be best for you.
In most cosmetic stores, they have a demonstration.
What do you think about men wearing make-up?
Because I see a lot of that in West Hollywood,
specially I see men with better skin than me!
Well, there's different levels of men wearing make-up...
What about a way to do it that's subtle and unnoticeable?
Well, that's best to use foundations,
and concealer is actually the most popular thing that men get.
Because it helps with the under-eye,
and then maybe a little light eyeliner helps as well.
I mean, obviously you don't paint it on,
but if you dab it a little around the eye, it helps define the eye, yeah.
Thank you so much for this information that you gave us today!
