Hmmmmm...I try to stick to what I know.

Not beauty products, but I did buy jewelry at a gun show last year. It was quite pretty and sold at a reasonable price.

I much to afraid to buy cosmetics at a strange place. I've heard you should beware buying cosmetics from placed like eBay because they might be old or they have tampered with. I did buy a bottle of perfume on eBay before and it was fine, but I probably won't be doing that again.

I'm so scared to buy health/beauty from eBay, although I have friends who've done it and have gotten great deals.

I've found my favorite bath products (Every Man Jack!) at Big Lots.
The three-pack of bar soaps were just a dollar-fifty!

Wait, this is that spot on Fillmore, right?! I've never been in here however I did buy a couple Bumble&Bumble and Redken items from a "we sell everything under the sun that may or may not have fallen off a truck but costs way less than Ricky's" type of place on the corner of 14th and 3rd in NYC.

Yep, Pet, that's the place on Fillmore. I was ridin' the Double Deuce!

I stick with what I know as well. I've only bought my beauty supplies and cosmetics at CVS, Ulta, Sally's Beauty Supplies and various trusted 'hair' stores in my area.

A burger place and a smoke shop near me both sell Avon, but I haven't bought any. Costco is about as daring as I get.

Umm...I bought one of those Avon/Merimekko flower eyeshadow palettes a few months back at a fall craft fair. I thought it was weird that they were randomly selling Avon at one of the tables.

probably at a wholesale base that looks like abendoned military base. just talk to my friend - she's been there again recently and loved it again we used to spend a lot of our parents' money there when we were 12-14.

The weirdest place I ever bought products was my neighborhood beauty supply store. It doesn't sound like much, but that place is really, really weird. The front of the store looks like a used book market--there are all these weird, weird books lying around everywhere! Math books, italian textbooks, rifle manuals, poorly written novels... Even a book from 1890! I go in to rummage the old books and always end up coming out with some new makeup too.

I was desparate- Dollar store, it was a pretty colour and it works great! :[

I've bought dollar store makeup before, and dollar store perfume. I was smelling a little less than fresh and ran in for something to make me smell as little bit better and ended up buying what is now my favourite perfume! It was a cheap brand that had collaborated with designer perfume makers to make scents that everyone could afford. Totally worth my seven bucks!

I also almost bought some scented oil from my work (at a gift store) to wear as a perfume.
